Who would play him? Marky Mark of & The Funky Bunch fame? Which Go-Betweens songs would be on the soundtrack? Obviously just songs from the albums that Lindy played on as Marky is our conduit to her. |

For a soundtrack, how about:
1 Man O'Sand To Girl O'Sea
2 Arrow In A Bow
3 Unkind And Unwise
4 The Clowns Are In Town
5 Careless
6 Head Full Of Steam
7 I Just Get Caught Out
8 Bye Bye Pride
9 Was There Anything I Could Do?
10 The Wrong Road
11 A King In Mirrors |

Skippy, you are jumping the gun.
Mark and I have yet to discuss a script for this movie.
But these are an interesting selecton of songs for the sound track.
But you have omitted Too much of one thing, a Mark favourite. |

Oh, Skippy, you know Mark doesn't like to refer to it as a conduit. Its a "normal friendship", so its better that we use his words.
Remember going through the portal is very difficult... |

Yes Malcovich, by Too Much does not feature Lindy on drums and therefore would be ineligible surely? When can we expect a first draft? The Australian film industry is in the doldrums, this could be just the fillip it needs! |

Yes, a "normal friendship". I can hear the ad voiceover now: "It was a normal friendship between a rock drummer and a man with too much access to the world wide web ... and then something happened to change his world forever". |

Who's writing this script, you or me? I mean me and Mark.
I would be going for less of a 'Hollywood' treatment than you are giving it. Like the Go-Betweens, this will be a thinking man/woman's film - controversial, sad, brutal but ultimately a triumphant assertion of the human spirit.
Anyway, its going to have to be a grainy independent release since we will have to raise the capital from the people here in this chatroom.
But controversial independents can do well. Look at Fahrenheit 9/11.
But we should wait until Mark comes out of the portal. He has final say. |

Will this be a kind of Triumph of the Will but set in St. James, Victoria? |

Go away, Anonymous.
It will be nothing like Triumph of the Will. We couldn't afford the uniforms on our budget anyway. |

Gritty, independent Australian realism then? I like it. No pat Hollywood endings. |

Well, yes but since its an Aussie movie there maybe one or two Abba songs thrown in to lighten the mood. Maybe
The Winner Takes It All or I Have a Dream |

How about Thank You For The Music? Or Knowing Me, Knowing You? |

Ok, thank you for your input. However, I don't really think your last suggestion is appropriate, anonymous.
I will post a simple plot 'treatment' when I hear from Mark. I think he may still be in the portal.
skippy and bingo, do you live together? |

I have a suggestion about who should play Mark in this film...Carson Cressley with a (bad) personality transplant. I just know he would get the subtle inflexions of Mark's way of expressing himself.
I know this suggestion would be deeply offensive to Carson, but hey, there's just something so right about it too, doncha think? |

Who is Carson Cressley, Blinky Bill.
Hey, another Australian TV icon is contributing to the poll! I always thought Blinky Bill was a bit lame though, I have to say. |

OMG you mean you don't know? it's my fault i spelt his name wrong. It's Kressley.
He's one of the fab five!.
I can't help it, but when i read all Mark's Erudite, Witty, Meaningful, Coherent, Intelligent, Informative,( Through-the-Portal-to Lindy's Head No Less), Humble, Scintillating messages and the way they are inflected by his refined and oh-so-deeply-Expressive-and-Sensitive use of
bold, italics, and capitals
for some strange reason I hear Him speaking in the voice of Carson Kressley, top-ranked US equestrian and Prime Time jooger.....why is that I wonder.
Carson's a very busy man these days but I really do think you should get Mark's people and Your people to talk to Carson's people. |

Yes, I thought that was not the Irish Catherine there. Maybe it's Marky Mark in disguise. He has remained curiously aloof from this thread. Possibly too busy fighting, and starting, fires elsewhere. |
