Hahaha!!! ' > >> >FYI, Warner Brothers and Chris O'Donnell have a Y2k movie > >> in the works > >> >foe release late 1998. Peter de Jager and Gary North are > >> providing the > >> >expert consulting on it. > >> > ..... Vik and I were working on a script but the effort fell apart over a dispute... Vik wanted the lead character to be an Indian, kind of like "The Rath of Kahn" Star Trek episode... I was pulling for a short, chubby, balding lead character a "Mr. Miyagi" from "The Karate Kid".... for some reason. The only part we agreed upon was that the Y2K programmer would be a babe magnet, a veritable stud muffin, a tyrannosaurus Rexx programmer and somehow, we'd have to incorporate in the "three blond night" solution to the power outages. ... let's see, Pamela Anderson, Christy Brinkley, and maybe Morgan Fairchild or Sarah Jessica Parker... they'd have to fight over the programmer. Come on, Sarah, you can whip Morgan. cory hamasaki 537 days. Take me, I'm yours. x10.dejanews.com
