Super Retro Casting Couch Special: Bloom County : The Movie
(Note: This is a repost of the original.)
No there hasn’t been an announcement, no plans of any kind that I know of. I was just re-reading some of my Bloom County books last night. Bloom County was a staple of my high school years, and probably largely responsible for my leftist political leanings. The strip is definitely responsible for me exclaiming “Dandy!” more often than any sane person should in everyday conversation. As I was chuckling away down memory lane last night I started thinking about how a Bloom County movie might go.
I am making the following assumptions…it would be live action, with the animals being CGI ala Garfield. The Children would be unknown but talented child actors. There would probably be at least 1 musical number. And it would bomb horribly at the box office. But let’s press on and cast it anyway shall we?
CORRECTING: How to fix The Phantom Menace
(Note: This is a repost of the original.)
With this article, we embark on a bold new task: Correct that which needs Correcting. To that end, we focus today on the most reviled of the Star Wars films: Episode I, The Phantom Menace.
This task is not an easy one, for there is much that needs fixing.
1) As the point of the exercise is to Correct, any mockery of the source material must be relevant, on point, or incredibly funny.
2) No new characters are allowed, unless justification for their necessity can be made. Existing characters may be removed.
3) Any solutions provided, by The Correctness or comment posters, is subject to ridicule and nitpicking.
4) There is no collaboration between The Correctness, nor do we read one another’s entries until after posting our own.
So…Who is REALLY Responsible for Conan Leaving the Tonight Show?
(Note: This is a repost of the original.)
Sure, it’s easy to blame NBC for being complete idiots, and always trying to keep all the talent, even in circumstances that clearly never work. You might be inclined to blame Jay Leno for not just stepping down like he said he would, or refusing to take the Tonight Show. You could even blame Conan, if you ignored Jay’s impassioned plea and were that way inclined. (I am not) I mean after all, he left of his own volition, because he didn’t want to move to 12:05.

The MacDonald/Young Simulcrum
(Note: This is a repost of the original)
Allow me to share with you some revelations I’ve had about Norm MacDonald and Neil Young.
Both of these gentlemen are Canadian entertainers who have a rabid fan base, neither of whom I have enjoyed in the past.
In fact I would say that I actively disliked them. In the case of Norm MacDonald I particularly detested his stammering delivery of non jokes that he tries to get you to laugh at by blinking you into submission. I seemed to be the only comedian in the world who was happy he got shit canned from SNL. All of my friends love this guy and his appeal was lost on me completely.

Dear Jessica 6:
As the unmarried 1/3 of The Correctness, I am still seeking a Hot Spacewife to get Spacemarried to. I would also approve of a Vampirewife, or a FantasyFictionwife, but I’m mostly looking for a Hot Spacewife. Probably not a superhero wife, they always seem a bit conflicted.
While I know that you are just a character in a movie, and in real life you are Jenny Agutter, and you have had a long career as a respected professional actor, and you are in your fifties (not that 25 years is insurmountable), I would like to leave that aside for a moment.
