Would You Make This Movie?
At EW, Bruce Campbell pitches a movie:
If the crowd of film geeks chortled throughout Campbell's movie, they were rolling during his live wisecracking. At one point he encouraged the crowd to shout out which of his movies they most hated. "Man With a Screaming Brain!" hollered one fan. "Army of Darkness!" shouted another. "Spider-Man 2!" suggested more than a few people. "All right, you think you're all so smart?" said Campbell. Then he challenged them to play studio exec as he pitched one of his past projects. "I'm Frank Marshall," he began. "I've produced all of Steven Spielberg's movies. Interested? Okay, I've got a book written by Michael Crichton. I'm going to get John Patrick Shanley, the Academy Award-winning writer of Moonstruck, to adapt it. It'll be shot by Allen Daviau, who did E.T. Will you make this movie? Well, congratulations! You just made Congo."

Congo was a fine film about the often ignored issues of the problems faced by semi-intelligent white-furred carnivorous apes living in the ruins of a superior African civilization.
A great way to spend a rainy Saturday afternoon.
The fact that a bunch of insider hoohas lost a bundle makes it that more enjoyable
I had a friend who got killed in Congo.
Sorry for your loss #2, but are you referring to the movie or the country?
