Here's a fun thing, The Box Office Oracle (via metafilter).
My first project, an ill-advised period piece based on non-existant letters of regret written by Rimbaud from his deathbed, produced just so Keanu could play the lead like he has said he wanted, is projected to be a dismal failure.
I think I'd better fire Mamet...

I swear I'm going to play around with this thing until I create a the perfect concept.
And then I'm calling Joel to rub it in his face.
