Wes Anderson Movies, McDonalds, and High School

I dreamed that I went to a movie theater (a recurring theme in my dreams) and Wes Anderson was filming his latest movie. It was about a young boy who was a child actor and he went to a movie theater for some reason, and there were a bunch of wacky characters working there. It was a weird theater, there were two floors, and in between the first and second floor there was a giant conference room. It looked like a room out of Bruce Wayne's mansion. I saw one scene get filmed, there was a lady working there who was a stripper and the old man who ran the movie theater hated her stripping. She had a huge rack and she was threatening to pour water on herself, much to the old man's dismay. This was happening in front of the kid too. The old man got pissed and drove away to a gas station or something.

I went back to the movie theater later, apparently the movie theater also MADE movies. The characters in the movie were filming a movie about prehistoric times, and they had these fakey little backgrounds and papier mache pterodactyls on strings flying around. I was like "Is this how Wes Anderson thinks we think movies are made?" I was so disappointed in him.

Later I dreamed I was back in high school (another recurring theme in my dreams). I rode my bike to high school (which I never actually did) and when I got there I was early so I decided to go get food at the school McDonalds. One of my teachers was at the counter. I ordered an orange soda, some cookies, and a toy, but the right half of the McDonalds got struck by lightning right when I was ordering. None of the stuff that I ordered got struck though.

MST3K

I dreamed that Adult Swim started airing Mystery Science Theater 3000 every day in Futurama's timeslot. I forgot to watch it until its run was almost over. I figured I could catch it on the second run, but then I worried that maybe AS wouldn't rerun it, like they didn't rerun Pee-Wee.

Adult Swim was also airing another old show that I liked that I wanted to watch, I forget which though.

Little Black Sasquatch

I dreamed I went to a new store and Donald Faison was there promoting the new Little Black Sasquatch action figure. It was an action figure of a short black guy who looked like Donald Faison dressed in a suit, sunglasses and a dress hat. I was planning on buying the action figure, I even opened it, and I noticed it came with no accessories and cost 5.99, so I decided not to buy it. Fortunately the store was pretty good about letting people open stuff.

My friend planned on buying every video game in the store. We approximated there must have been 100 NES games, about 400 SNES games, and 74 N64 games.

Girl Band Documentary

I dreamed I was directing a documentary about a girl band. There were two girls, and I want to say they were sexy, I can't remember if they were a real band or just a singer and a backup singer. Either way I got to tour the country with them (it might have been just the west coast). The thing is, they fought all the time, like real vicious fights. And their public persona was all like sweet and friendly and no one had any idea they were fighting, I was getting a real scoop. The problem is, I was very incompetent as a documentarian and I did not get a lot of good footage. Even still I went around telling people I had this amazing documentary and I was a genius.

The documentary aired as a segment on Tim and Eric Awesome Show Great Job. They replaced all the fights with stop-motion footage of stuffed (as in taxidermied) animals fighting. I didn't mind this change.

Anna Wintour & 30 Rock

I dreamed I was reading a People or Us Weekly-type magazine article that said that Anna Wintour got in a car crash and had to have her head shaved due to complications, so the girls of 30 Rock also shaved their heads in support. The black girl from Clueless had just joined the cast, so she had to shave her head too. There was a pictorial of the girls with their heads shaved, here's how they looked:

Anna Wintour: Not so good
Tina Fey: Not so good
Jane Krakowski: Terrifying
Black girl from Clueless: Not so bad

The article didn't mention the men of 30 Rock at all, but I figured that Alec Baldwin probably wouldn't do it.

Wes Anderson Marathon

Out of all Wes Anderson's movies I only have The Royal Tenenbaums and The Life Aquatic on DVD. These are two of my favorite movies! I realized not that long ago that I have never listened to either of these movies commentaries. I've listened to commentaries of much worse things, things I like MUCH less, so I thought about having a marathon of watching these two movies and then watching them with commentary.

But what I'm wondering is if I should just go ahead and buy Rushmore first, then I could have more of a marathon.

Nah, you know what, that is just procrastinating. I'm just gonna do this marathon today.
