You know you are a dreamer

It's rather funny — but also annoying — when I get Google Alerts informing me of events that happened years, hell, decades ago. Recently, I've had ones about "Steven McQueen and Keith Moon feud!" or "Keith Moon blows up hotel room!".

Oh my god, REALLY? I NEVER would have known!

So, for some reason, I just got a bunch telling me that "Mike Myers is set to star in a Keith Moon biocumentary" (whatever, the real word seems to have slipped my mind). Now, that makes me hope that they've actually got some more people lined up to be in the movie or at least something is happening with it, but no.

A quick check of the IMDB message boards just turn up the usual "Is this ever happening?", "Who's the greatest xxx player?", "Who should play Roger?", "Mike Myers is too OLD!", and "Get Jason Schwartzman!" topics, so I figured nothing was up. Oh well. Only two more years — yea!

You know, at first, I couldn't really see Mike Myers playing Keith, but I'm okay with the idea now.

One of the arguments against Myers is that he's too old — even older than Keith when he died! But now, come on. I love him, but to be honest, Keith didn't look all that great towards the end. Also, Hollywood has this little thing called "make-up", maybe you've heard of it?

And, keep in mind, they aren't making this movie for just the fans. Mostly, they're making the movie for the money. Maybe Roger and Pete just want to "get his story out there" or "honour Keith" or something like that, but quite unfortunately, they do not rule the world (now there's a world I'd like to live in!) or even Hollywood for that matter. This movie is not going to be made if Hollywood doesn't think they're going to make money on it. They need a big star to get people to see the movie; Keith Moon is just not enough in this day and age. Us kids aren't supposed to know who he is! I know, it's a shame, but it's the truth. Kids however do know who Mike Myers is, and we will go see him — not some strange guy who actually plays in instrument? What, you mean, people actually still do that? SERIOUSLY!?!? Wow, I thought it was just a prop!

And another thing, Roger has to approve the script, which is why it's taking so long. But I have faith in him, and at least we know we're getting a good story! And, you know, I think Myers could handle most what they throw at him. I am not saying Wayne Campbell + Austin Powers = Keith Moon, because it certainly doesn't. But every once in awhile I can see glimpses of Keith-like qualities in Myers or his characters, and I've seen some pictures of Keith were he can look a bit like Myers.

For example…

Okay, I admit, I'm crap at comparing picture to each other, but the last one of Keith just screams "Mike Myers!" to me… even if he is jumping and his face is probably a bit more strained than usual and all…
