I work at a post production company in Hollywood. I work in the taperoom and encoding room where we transfer dailies and cut episodes and movies from format to format, etc...


Anyhoo, there are people upstairs doing the coloring and editing and they have a speaker down here through which they ask us to load different tapes into different machines, etc...

We do so many shows and movies that there's no way anyone, icluding myself, know all that is going through here, but I just heard a very disturbing thing through the speaker.

A guy from telecine just asked someone to throw in the first tape of...


...Gomer Pile. :(
Yes, you heard it here first. Someone is actually making a Gomer Pile movie.

On behalf of Hollywood and America, I offer my sincerest apologies for this travesty. :(

Is Jessica Simpson the love interest? No wait, there's no contrast then. No friction-for-humour/opposites-attract angle.

The Gomer Pile movie will probably have a gays in the military theme and a anti-american slant on it to boot,will probably be written by that Ronald D. Moore-on who ruined the Original Galactica with his 2003 Blame America Pornostar Craplactica remake.

Any way the Pyle movie will be enormously better than any of the star wars or next generation movies.

Engage yawn capacitors!

Gomer Who?
It was an old American TV show about a Marine corps private named Gomer Pyle, who was a little bit slow and always got yelled at by his Sargent.

By mentioning that you made it a little more real. You should be careful. Someone at Eat on Sunset across the street here may be surfing on his laptop over lunch with Mike Eisner and say, "Ah ha!!!!!" Then we're all in trouble. :(

Are you kidding? You must have some idea of the kind of competition that American television aspires to, the standards it sets, the integrity it maintains ...
In this case it resulted (loosely, given) in a revival-of-sorts with the movie,
Forrest Gump .... although strangely enough there was more sexuality in the movie, there was more actual sexual tension in the Pyle TV show.

Oddly enough, when I first saw this thread, I thought of Tom Hanks as Gomer . . .

and how about Harvey Keitel for Sarge?

God forbid, if Gomer Pyle USMC were ever made into a movie...only R Lee Ermey could play the Sarge.

Well, there's potential there, especially if you've seen him in Saving Silverman.
...yea, you know what i'm talking about. :D

Well, Keitel is more demure than the sarge from the show ... and the sarge was younger. But not a bad choice.

Ah, got me! It's been too long. Thanks for the illustrative quotes, though! :D

Spock: Your use of language has altered since our arrival. It is currently laced with, shall we say, more colorful metaphors, "double dumb-ass on you" and so forth.
Kirk: Oh, you mean the profanity?
Spock: Yes.
Kirk: Well that's simply the way they talk here. Nobody pays any attention to you unless you swear every other word.

Kirk: Spock, where the hell's the power you promised?
Spock: One damn minute, Admiral.
