I'm afraid I can't upload your script. The link's not broken, it's just that everytime it tries to download, I get a little message that says that there's something up with the browser and then it re-loads up again. Then, the message pops up again. So, in a nutshell, I can't view it; but I bet it's a good screenplay. It's kind of funny though, I did read that Jim Carrey planned on coming back for a sequel not long after "The Mask" did wonders at the Box Office. But, apparently, the whole plan got scrapped. I don't get why he won't do sequels (but he did do Ace Ventura part 2). If I was a Hollywood actor, I would be up for sequels! But, we got a sequel anyhow: "Son of the Mask". I think "Son of the Mask" is enjoyable in its own way, and I know that I'm not the only one who thinks so. I tend to get irked by the negative reviews every now and then. You know what they say, "Everybody's a critic".
Now, onto the new idea I came up with! I'm sure you've seen the TV show "The Monkees" and/or listened to some of their music, right? Now, that I'm liking the show now (Antenna TV is curently showing reruns), I instantly came up with this new brainchild. Since the show's got cartoonish sound FX and the show's four main characters harbor zany antics, I thought, "What if they crossed paths with the ancient Mask of Loki?". This idea I knew I was gonna have fun with! The title I came up with is called "Masked Monkees", but if I ever think of a different title, I'll change it.
I can't decide weather they find the mask washed up on the beach or they find it in an antique store. Hhmmm...I'll think to that. What I do know is this: when that mask is found by them, it'll be utter mayhem and craziness for Davy Jones, Micky Dolenz, Mike Nesmith, and Peter Tork.
Here's what would happen when each Monkee puts on The Mask:
Davy Jones - He'll probably be the main wearer in this one. In the show, he's quite shy, but one who loves to have fun. He's also a hopeless romantic (in other words, girlcrazy) to top off his personality. And, he's also British and let's not forget that. Once he puts on the mask, watch out cause he'll be comin' right at ya! He'll be pretty much like Stanley's masked alter-ego, but with a british accent. Masked Davy would be so outrageously zany, he could paint the town green in a flash. And, with every girl he sees, let those love wild takes run rampant! He'll become like a british Pepe Le Pew just like that! Masked Davy's outfit of choice would be one of those Vaudeville-esque (I think) suits. Type in "The Monkees - Cuddly Toy" on YouTube and you'll see what outfit I'm referring to. And just so you know, Davy's the one dancing in the video.
Micky Dolenz - In the show, he's the funny one; always does voice impersonations, kooky facial expressions (well, all four Monkees do those I should add), ect. When Micky puts on the Mask, of course, let the fun begin! His funny meter would be off the charts with no sign of stopping at all. Crooks would be up for a loop, when they encounter Masked Micky, when he unleashes those voice impressions while taking the baddies down. They wouldn't stand a chance. And I can bet that when it comes to girls, Masked Micky can turn on the charm without hesitation (just like Masked Davy). Outfit of choice? Maybe the outfit he wears in the "Cuddly Toy" video, but in a different color (Micky's the one playing the drums).
Mike Nesmith - In the show, he's leader-like. He can be deadpan at times with a droll sense of humor. But like the other Monkees, he's as zany as they are. And he mostly never goes anywhere without his trademark green wool hat he wears. When Mike puts on the Mask, he's not so deadpan anymore. He could sneak up on villains and place a stick of dynamite under their feet and light it up. He'll laugh it up as the crooks react in a way he wanted them to be. And just like Masked Davy and Micky, defeating thr baddies can be one wedgie away or with one swift swipe with an oversized mallet. Let's not forget that he's a Texas boy, he'll be using those Southern vibes his way. Masked Mike could dress in Cowboy getup and use it to charm the ladies. Outfit of choice? Why not a green colored tuxedo-esque suit to match his green hat (which I'm sure it's not a wool hat once he's transformed).
Peter Tork - In the show, he's the loveable dummy. He says things that will sound smart at times, but he can also say and do the goofiest things (like the other Monkees. The goofiest things I mean). When Peter puts on the Mask, he's not so dumb. Masked Peter's smart yet zany at the same time. But even that, he can still have his Harpo Marx-esque moments that'll leave any bad guy baffled or overwhelmed at his presence. He can use his antics to startle his opponents, mess around with them and then take em' down. When it comes to girls, Masked Peter sees no logic but to flirt by a tip of his hat and lights up the charm factor. Outfit of choice? Maybe a Harpo Marx-like outfit, not a lot like it, but it comes quite close to it.
Now, let's not forget that The Monkees deal with an annoying landlord of their own: Mr. Babbit. Stanley's got Mrs. Peenman and The Monkees got Mr. Babbit. He heckles the daylights out of the boys by giving him the rent they owe him. Just to see him get cartoon tortured by one of the Masked Monkees would be laugh out loud hilarious!! And for the record, I did not make up Mr. Babbit, he's an actual character on "The Monkees" TV show (well according to some fan stories I read) Still, I look further into it, just in case.
Whoo, a little exhausting, but what do you think?? If you want to see a video where The Monkees' antics are unleashed, go to YouTube and view the video called "Hooked On A Can-Can With The Monkees". And it's created by El Kaye (another video of the same name was created inspired by that video).
LATER!!!!!
