The FOT's own Dutch?

Now, I've never heard what this band sounds like, but I can't help feeling like they'd be perfect for the soundtrack/score:

[Chris L]

Plunko should call people "meathead" and tell them to "sit on it" and other sitcom insults.

In that vein, Plunko should say to the religious kid something like "Way to go all Amen on us, Sherman Helmsley."  Also, maybe Dan Deacon can play an actual deacon. 

And obviously, Plunko should wear big headphones, but listen to a cassette walkman instead of an ipod.

 

This will have to be mandatory.  No one should be able to pinpoint what decade this is set in.

YES!! Their sound would be perfect.

They were a fun band. Not wonderful, but fun. They're in that realm with older Shins. I think that record came out around the same time as Oh Inverted World.

I say: up the indie cred with the Audio Technica AT-727 Sound Burger:

As some starfish are hemaphroditic, Plunko should have one named Chomsky.

I might be putting the cart before the horse, but I just checked and this url is available:

May I suggest that Plunko's 12 year old genius sidekick (wearing an appropriately ironic t-shirt) take out some bullies/stepparent with a yo-yo.

Howzabout we do a reverse I'm Not There and have one actor play every single character in the movie.
Also I don't think the character should be called Plunko but I'm very excited at the concept of having the movie title first and working everything else out later.
Maybe Plunko could be the starfish's name or a bands name.

Here's an idea. Forget the sex change, she's a quirky, creative yet unpopular individual, due to a clerical error she gets sent to a special ed school. She doesn't say anything about it to her elderly grandparents (who she naturally lives with) and nobody at the school notices. At first she's happy to be doing finger painting instead of normal lessons but soon starts to shake things up and serves as a catalyst for the entire student population to start doing crazy things - starting punk rock bands, painting huge guerrilla graffiti murals at midnight, making their own clothes etc.
Eventually the exasperated school administration discovers she is not supposed to be there and she is forced back to a normal school but she has changed the lives of all she met at the special ed school forever.

Love it, Jason. Here's the pitch: Bring It On meets One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest.

Does it matter that it was already done on Malcolm in the Middle?

I don't like it...I LOVE IT!!!

Maybe Plunko should also become friends with one member of the faculty who sees her as the life-affirming revolutionary she is, and not the loose-cannon firebrand the higher-ups believe her to be. Naturally, this faculty member has little-to-no social life and had some quirky dream when they were younger of they would be when they grew up, which Plunko reminds them of and encourages them to persue...principal be damned!

I think you mean once-progressive, now-jaded educator Bill Murray.

Also, all the students are played by actual retarded kids and/or AST board members.

Booyah!!! First dig of 08.
