while packing up my tree yesterday, i realized my holiday ornaments would make the perfect cast for a 2015 remake of "drugstore cowboy."
if you haven't seen gus van sant's 1989 film about a band of drug addicts (lead by matt dillon) who support their habit by robbing pharmacies and hospitals, put in on your netflix queue. sure, it's dark and depressing, but it is really, really good. plus, the hair is amazing and the production design is gorgeously gritty.
i think my version would replace vicodin with swedish candy, though, because i love a good twist and i love a good gummy fish. also, there will be no guns in my version. just lassos. little twine lassos.
the cast would be as follows:
lasso raccoon - matt dillon
fur coat raccoon - kelly lynch
pink pant bunny - heather graham
denim lion - james legros
see the original trailer here for your inspiration pleasure. enjoy!

Usually, a great film should not be remade, but in this case I would totally watch it!

I am sensing a Wes Anderson moment!

I've never even heard of this movie! Will rent for sure and think of your remake :)
