The Life Trap (Brizoni)

Since working not working at McDonald's, I've met lots of people stuck in the Life Trap:




One guy in particular sticks out in my mind: Younger than me. Got off heroin, got off, then got on and off meth, currently quitting drinking, which he says is the hardest of all. Got screwed when his roommate when they moved out of his apartment (in my complex, even) so he has an eviction on his record, moved into his brother's house and got kicked out of there, now has lived in a hotel w/ his parents for 8 months. Life Trap.






Of course, not working at McDonald's myself means I too am not in a bit of a Life... wait, would that be "I too" or "I neither"? My self-respect-covering code screws me up if I stick too it too closely.





And that's the point. The gate's open-- it's just "'"off limits"'"

OJ: The Movie

I know OJ is a common and therefore uncool topic, but how interesting would an all-true biopic of this guy be:

- Football star out of college
- Tries his hand acting, enjoying genuine success in the field in 1974, with the smash hit The Towering Inferno., and a TV-movie of his life wherein he plays himself, entitled Juice on the Loose.
- Also, Wikipedia says "Simpson was considered for the lead role in The Terminator, before it was decided audiences might not accept him as a relentless villain, due to his "nice guy" image."
- Then stars in the Naked Gun series.
- Kills his ex-wife and her boyfriend.
- Flees police in a highly-watched chase.
- Goes on trial for a year, every minute of which gets televised, and by the end the only 12 people in the world who can't figure out he did it all happen, in the sort of statistical fluke mathematicians call an "Omniverse Vanisher", to comprise the jury.
- Three years later, is found guilty of "Wrongful Death". Logic dictates every thinking man and woman abandon all faith in the American legal system; crime rate plummets due to suicidal nihilism.
- Ostracized, plays golf for 12 years.
- Writes a thinly-veiled confession called "If" I Did It, detailing in detail what he did and how he did it, and when, using what. The book is pulped in a last-minute attack of the publisher's conscience, only to be reissued a year later, this time the proceeds going to the families of OJ's victims.
- Breaks into a Vegas hotel room to steal "back" from an auctioneer the suit he was acquitted in.
- Will probably go to jail and spend at least some of the time he should have spent to begin with.

Tell me that wouldn't be a badass 2 hours. And who knows what crazy crap he'll end up dying during doing? Zeppelin attack? Betrayal by a trusted associate in a counterfeiting ring which'll make 100-dollar bills w/ his face on them? "Re-animating" Nicole Brown's corpse Weekend at Bernie's-style to restore his good name, complete w/ mimicking her voice while hiding his head behind her head?
