Hey, Mr. Murphy! Unsolicited movie ideas! I bet you've never seen be given these before! Indeed, I'm very strongly inclined to simply delete any such solicitations outright, particularly if they have nothing to do with Wikipedia. If Mr. Murphy wants a few "ad hoc" script consultants or even just a few opinions about how certain specific characters are likely to behave, I'm sure he'll ask for them. And I don't want there to be any question of credit, either - if such a movie actually does get made and contains some ideas thought up or otherwise generated by some of our members, I feel confident that he'll include the proper acknowledgements. (Hint hint!) But I'm no Natural-Born Killjoy, so let me hasten to add that this doesn't mean we can't post some general speculation about how such a movie could work, plot- and character-wise. Let's just not go overboard, OK? I should also point out that the pro-Wikipedia movie, Truth in Numbers: The Wikipedia Story, is still scheduled for a 2008 release. Will it make it into actual theatres? I doubt it - the people involved don't have much of a track record (that's actually an understatement) and since it's a documentary, the people actually on the screen will mostly be hardcore Wikipedians, and will therefore be a huge turnoff for viewers. On a more personal note, last night I finally got to watch the new David Lynch film, Inland Empire. It struck me that any movie that tried to explain how Wikipedia really works would probably be at least as confusing as that movie, which I'm afraid did not get much theatrical distribution at all (though the fact that it was 3 hours long didn't exactly help). Still, some of the psychological fear sequences might have worked in a movie about Wikipedia... Something to think about, anyway! ![]() |
