4:44pm – “Me & Will”, 1999
No more talking; just Keanu rocking. And when Keanu rocks, he rocks the whole place down. Until he falls over. And then the Dogstars walk off stage. I believe we have seen the last of Keanu for the next couple of hours.
My, oh my. How things have come full circle. Me (aka Jane) & Will are watching TV in the rehab center. Watching a movie from the ’60’s. Watching “Easy Rider.” Which features – you guessed it – every mailman’s favorite creepy creep… Dennis Hopper! And wouldn’t you know it, Dennis Hopper inspires the girls to take a big ole road trip. Ahhh… the inspirational power of the Hopper!
Can’t buy me love! Can’t buy me love! MaxiPads, the last vice. I’ll see you around, like a doughnut. Monty Hall.
This is another one of those (see “Cowgirls” or “Freaked”) movies which has a big cast and many cameos – distinctly more toward the “Freaked” direction of cameos than “Cowgirls.” Both Me & Will have decided to rice-a-roni it. Jeff is agog, simply agog. Apparently all the residents of San Francisco are incredibly attractive. Jeff comfirms this fact.
Watching another band which is very distinctly not Dogstar. If this was a movie about being Dogstar (or I guess these days, Becky) groupies instead of going to find some Dennis Hopper relic, I could really get behind it. This seems to be turning a bit more “Thelma & Louise” (but better) and a little less “Easy Rider” (without Creepy) – sorry about the comparisons, I realize they are trite and obvious, but I just had to do it.
I knew I shouldn’t have trusted you. Still agog. Agogged even.
This is one long road to the chopper, but not nearly as long as if we were having to watch a Winona Ryder movie. Blame Patrick Dempsey all you want, I don’t – I think it is me’s fault (and the dad). Oh. Me. Choopers, choppers everywhere, but not a drop to drink. Memmett wil find the chopper, even if me didn’t make it. I’m sad – seems like Me & Will did have a nice thing going.
Still incredibly thankful there was no Dennis Hopper in this move, just don’t think I could have done it without losing my mind.
It's not a boast, but it shows I was meant for something special. — act of vengeance
