Holy demented awesomeness, people -- Michel Gondry's newest script is
clearly the product of a very warped mind, but it's a mind for which we need to give thanks every single freaking day.
Entitled Be Kind Rewind, the movie is about a man who has horrible headaches, a malady that is somehow related
to the fact that his brain has become magnetized. Well of course it has! But, because this is Gondry, the madness
doesn't stop there. Magnet Brain (his name is really Jerry, but I prefer to call him MB), you see, has a best friend
who owns a video store, and when MB walks in with his huge, magnetic head, he erases all of the tapes in the place.
With me so far? Just wait, it gets better. The video store really only has one faithful customer, "an elderly lady
with signs of dementia," and in an effort to avoid letting her down, MB and his friend RECREATE THE MOVIES THAT
HAVE BEEN ERASED. I mean, the greatness of this idea is almost beyond comprehension, particularly when you learn that
none other than Jack Black will
be playing our man MB, and that among the movies they remake are Rush Hour, Lion King, and Robocop.
Holy. Crap. Screw Snakes on a Plane, man -- I'm waiting for this!
