Murder, I Wrote
May. 21st, 2006 02:49 pmQuick question: Anyone know a good thrift store/ flea market in the Chicago area? Maybe an incredibly strange "ye old curiosity" style shoppe? [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] and I are flying out on Thursday and are looking for a good time, skid-row style.
I haven't been posting much lately because my mind has been occupied by depressing political thoughts... The coming secret war with South America, the mass social networking database our government is keeping on its own citizens, the buildup of troops along our national borders (which I'm convinced is just as much to keep us in as it is to keep the Mexicans out), the clampdown on media outlets, the domestic concentration camps, etcetera, etcetera... It seems as if my brain has been overloaded with nothing but DOOMSDAY THOUGHTS, and I'm starting to feel like Livejournal isn't necessarily the place to air those thoughts. Not that everything in life should be lipstick and candy canes... I just don't want to be the annoying friend on your list that brings the whole room down with heavy-handed political discourse.
So, allow me to move on to the pressing issue of today... When will THE NETWORKS pick up my idea for THE GREATEST MADE-FOR-TV MOVIE EVER? I've got my thumb on the dying pulse of senior citizens all over the country, and thanks to their input, I've come up with a script that will insure a RATINGS BOOST from the eldest members of the viewing public.
An aging mystery writer/ amateur sleuth (ANGELA LANSBURY) suffers a heart attack and is admitted to the nearby hospital. Her surgeon is and old flame/ also amateur sleuth (DICK VAN DYKE)... After a frosty re-introduction, they discover that old feelings never die, and their renewed passion forces them to cross the accepted lines of doctor/ patient relationships. They meet for clandestine post-coital cocktails at a nearby Irish pub, where a mutual penchant for meddling helps them uncover a LOCAL MYSTERY!!! There's been a series of UNEXPLAINED MURDERS that somehow tie in to the a centuries-old mystery involving the Catholic Church... Our amateur sleuths find themselves doing what they do best...and in the course of their investigation, cross paths with a quirky priest (TOM BOSELY) with a knack for, you guessed it, AMATEUR SLEUTHING.
I don't want to give away the various plot twists and turns... But I will tell you this: When the killer is finally unmasked at the end, we discover that he is none other than grumpy ex-attorney BEN MATLOCK. Start your bidding now, please...
