yesterday, i read (or was forced to read) an article that was about the latest police academy sequel, and i am frustratingly ecstatic! i just want to hear the whole gang laugh again! and be grossly incompetent because it’s funny! with the state the world’s in right now (california?), i think we are all in desperate need of good ol’ cadet carey mahoney right now.

oh, god! i can’t wait for this movie!! you just don’t know!! but here’s the best part: they’re looking for writers to “pen” (hahahaha) the script!!! at least i think they are!

i’ve got to be in on the ground floor with this one. for the last few wonderful (wonderful, wonderful, wonderful…) days, i’ve been doing a little self-reflection, and i’m certain i’m the right man for the job.

please, i’m begging you, think about it for a sec: i understand words, i can put them into sentences, and people can do the rest for me! plus, i’m practically related to steve guttenberg (my cousin’s friend “allegedly” had sex with him when he used to be famous and that was something you’d brag about). this has got to sway someone.

despite my growing excitement, i am starting to worry that the police academy premise has already worn thin. are they still in the academy? can you really develop the characters any further? didn’t some people in the cast die? is 10 years really a decade?

writing a script like this is going to take time and a lot of love, but i know i can do it.

(note to self: put funny noises in script for michael winslow’s character to make—like a police siren!)

there are so many obstacles here, and i’d have to call in so many favors from my “friends in high places.” and 100 pages seems like a lot more than i’d care to write.

plus, i’ve never seen a police academy movie. not all the way through.
