Hey, I really appreciate you lettin' me bring this to you, but who else would have the vision, capiche? I got your next five Oscars just waitin' to make you some serious bank, are you ready for the love?
I'm tellin' you, this comic book thing ain't gonna last, you got me? Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, maybe a Sin City, that Whedon chick's Wonder Woman, and what's left? All the A-list heroes will be used up, studios will be lucky to bag the next Catwoman, you see what I'm sayin'?
Turn more old TV shows into movies? There's a "Starsky and Hutch" or "Bewitched" to stink up your bottom line. Cartoons? Shoot for "Scooby Doo," you get "Looney Tunes: Back in Action" and then nobody answers your phone calls no more.

Capeesh.
Capiche is a type of soup, I think.
But good article.

"OK, OK, this is the one. Kids biking, surfing, parachuting, fast cars, snowboarding, extreme everything, all to get a can of Mountain Dew. It's the last one in the world, or an antidote for poisoned orphans or something, and they gotta have it. Get Vin Diesel to play an evil cola manufacturer out to stop them, only he can't because he hasn't got the mad skills or the dangerously stoked caffeine levels to keep up. Simon West can direct, or give everybody guns and let John Woo do it. Can't you see Variety? "Woo does the Dew!" Genius, right?"
That was awesome!

There is a spirited controversy over how, exactly, to spell "capiche." I've also seen it as "coppish" and "capice," and ultimately it's from the Italian word "capisce" or "capisci," based on the verb "capire."
I went with my heart.

Well, since they are using movies as commercials more and more, I like the idea of just making a movie out of a commercial. Why beat around the bush?

I'd like to see "Invasion of the Body Snatchers" remade with iPods.

Chris, how about a musical? All the jingles from the commercials, belended into songs. With dancing. "Hold the pickle, hold the lettuce..."
