Hollywood Purgatory: Potentially Classic Films That Never Made The Leap From Development Onto The Silver Screen

1.) Indiana Jones and the Boner of Hendrix. Trapped in development hell, this treatment proposed a sequel in which the geriatric archaeologist pursues thieves who have stolen the notorious plaster cast of famed guitarist Jimi Hendrix's erect penis.

2.) Irwin Allen's Raw Sewage. In 1978, "Master of Disaster" Allen proposed this aptly-titled disaster epic in which an all-star cast fight for their lives when the streets of Los Angeles become flooded with human waste. Reportedly, when Allen approached Charlton Heston to play the lead role, the star quipped, "Are you fucking crazy?!" and tried to stab the director in the neck with a screw driver hidden in his sock.

3.) Franco Zefferelli's Joannie Loves Chaci. This proposed big screen version of the short-lived Happy Days spin off sitcom was abandoned when the famed Romeo and Juliette director instead chose to develop early treatments for The Harlem Globetrotters on Gilligan's Island.

4.) Lord of the Bling. This urban-flavored re-imagining of J.R.R. Tolkien's epic fantasy trilogy was shelved when early make-up tests proved to make actor, Samuel L. Jackson, who was to portray the wizard, Gandalf, appear too much like Song of the South narrator, Uncle Remus. The furious actor reportedly stormed out of make-up tests screaming, "Enough is enough! I have had it with these mother fuckin' snakes on this mother fuckin' plane!"

5.) Disney's Sodom and Gomorrah. This horrific tale of God's vengeance was forsaken when Disney studios' conceptual artists failed to come up with a family-friendly way to portray sodomy. The song Lick My Boner, composed for the film's potential soundtrack, was later used in a straight-to-video Little Mermaid sequel.

6.) David Lynch's Picklenose. Early drafts of the screenplay for Lynch's aborted project don't really explain anything at all. The color blue is heavily featured, as is a male character "Who vaguely resembles Fatty Arbuckle". The film was to also feature several close ups of raw meat swarming with flies and a man who has his nose replaced by a large dill pickle.

7.) The Great Muppet Holocaust. Little is know about this aborted project, probably for the best.

8.) Godzilla Versus Vaginasaur. Conceptual sketches for this entry in the successful Japanese giant monster series depict "The King of the Monsters" doing battle with a gargantuan rubber vagina.

Bobo Gets His Street Cred

"Screw you, turd burglar! I'm pourin' it all in!"

It was a typical Jackie response; impulsive, foolhardy, crass. Exactly why Doug had been saddled with Jackie as a lab partner was a mystery, but it seemed to be the result of some deep-rooted animosity harbored by his chemistry teacher, Mr. Albright. Jackie's wild reputation around Filmore High had preceded him by a country mile, yet despite Doug's objections, Albright had chosen to pair them up anyway. The jerk had even laughed at the pairing, muttering something under his breath about "birds of a feather" and "dilly dallying dong fondlers". When Doug again voiced his concerns about having a ticking time bomb like Jackie as a lab partner, Mr. Albright responded by doodling a sketch on the chalk board which depicted Doug with his pants down having sexual intercourse with a chicken. Doug's face had turned beet red, not because of the jeering the offensive caricature evoked from his classmates, but because he secretly found the picture to be strangely erotic.

Now here they were, a mismatched odd couple with a tray full of volatile chemicals and Jackie just itching to wreak havoc. Doug shielded his eyes as Jackie dumped the smoking and bubbling contents of his test tube into the beaker which sat before them atop the bunsen burner. There was a blinding flash of light as the beaker exploded, riddling Doug's face with shards of broken glass and knocking him to the floor. The explosion was deafening, the impact blasting away the classroom wall to the left of the two teenagers. As Doug rose from the floor, pulling bits of glass from his bleeding face, he observed what appeared to be a rip in space and time created just beyond the ragged remains of the classroom wall. From the swirling nebulous mass stepped a bald man, completely nude, his skin a shimmering silver hue. In his right hand the silver-skinned man held a large, black, rubber dildo. The man pointed the dildo at Doug as his eyes became aglow with fiery red light. "Beware the Kremlac! The eater of souls!" he said.

"Who are you?" Doug asked.
"My named is Pookie Anal Prob Vampire Bat Tootsie Cat Call Skippy Vaudeville Circuit...and I am from the future." he replied.

The sliver-skinned man then stepped forward, observing his surroundings. He looked to the floor and cocked his head ever-so-slightly with a look of curiosity. Doug followed the direction of the man's glance and caught sight of the bloody remains of Jackie's now headless and mangled corpse. "That one doesn't have a head" the man observed coldly, not in the least bit perturbed by the blood and gore before him. Shocked by the gruesome sight, Doug lurched forward and regurgitated onto the floor. The silver-skinned man observed this and then, seconds later, copied the reaction, vomiting a puddle of steaming green liquid onto the floor. He then looked to Doug and smiled, as if seeking his approval. "I made floor liquid" he said, still grinning widely. Doug wiped the remaining bile from his face and smiled weakly at the man. "Yes...yes you did" Doug said.

The man from the future then reached behind his back and pulled a gold, disc-shaped object from between his buttocks. He thumped the center of the disc and out sprang the upper part of a silk top hat. He passed the top hat to Doug. "I made you a top hat with my asshole" he said. "For the top of your head". Doug examined the silky gold hat as the man observed him, seemingly waiting for him to don the gift. "For the top of your head". he repeated anxiously. Doug hesitantly sniffed the hat and then placed it on his head. It was a perfect fit. The man from the future again reached behind his back and pulled a CD case from between his buttocks. He then handed the CD case to Doug. Doug read the title aloud. "The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band : Greatest Hits". The silver-skinned man smiled. "For your ears" he said.

Suddenly Mr. Albright arose from the floor in a rage. "What in the name of Sam Hill is going on here?!" He observed the swirling space/time vortex just beyond the wall of his classroom and then turned to face the strange man who'd stepped forth from the inter dimensional whirlwind. "You silver-skinned son of a bitch!" Albright shrieked, pulling a straight razor from his hip pocket. "I'm gonna slice you up like a Thanksgiving turkey!" he growled, charging at the stranger and waving his straight razor wildly. The silver-skinned visitor aimed his wobbling black dildo at the chemistry teacher and from the tip of the rubber penis shot forth a bright beam of blue lighting. The lightning struck Albright with tremendous force, and in a bizarre metamorphosis, transformed the chemistry teacher into a bronze statue of a minotaur. "For your bedroom" the silver-skinned sorcerer said with a grin.

The stranger stepped toward the vortex. "Beware the Kremlac. The eater of souls" he repeated
"I'm going back to the future to have some sex with my sexy, silver-skinned lady" he said and winked at Doug. "Then I'm going to shave her vagina" he added, saluting Doug and then stepping back into the time/space vortex.

In a flash of light the silver-skinned visitor vanished just as instantly as he'd appeared.
