Pajiba Me Softly

Well here is a treat for all of you QLIL2 readers. Dustin on the great Pajiba.com website heard about this new movie Bonzai Shadowhands with Rainn Wilson and directed by Jason Reitman and started pontificating about how the the movie SHOULD actually go. I have edited his post and will let you guys have at it!

"Obviously, I have no idea what direction he and Reitman intend to take, but it occurred to me that the concept would work brilliantly if, and only if, Rainn Wilson’s ninja fighter were a modern-day version of Don Quixote, living in Des Moines. After years of social isolation and hundreds of hours of watching Satsuo Yamamoto films, a delusional Wilson would conclude that he, himself, was a once great martial arts warrior. He would procure his Sancho Panza (a video store clerk, played by Paul Giamatti) and seek out his Dulcinea (Zooey Deschanel), who would be an attendant at a local suburban arcade. Wilson, of course, would defeat other ninja warriors, who are actually holograms in a 3-D video game (the Windmills!)."

Oh man … if Reitman doesn’t do this, somebody give me a call — there really aren’t enough modern-day Quixotes in today’s multiplexes. Where are the Query Letters I Love Folks to proffer analysis? — Dustin Rowles
