i think it should be a sci-fi action film done like a saturday morning kids show. Rollum would be a little android and have a wind-up crank on his back. Parrish would be the lnventor, and brainiac of the force. Roger would be the suave ladies man, with a white helmet, a laser pistol, and a pair of brown slacks. Matt would be the 'leonoardo' of the fearsome foursome. At the end of each show , they go to new venue and play a song. Behind them would be a swirling kalediscope backdrop, and tie die flowers. The show would be animated in some parts and live action in others, (kind of like the banana splits). A new director would write and direct each week. First season : Tim Burton, The Farrely Brothers, Steven Soderberg, Sam Mendes, and David bowie, and then the folks that did 'heavy metal'. maybe a pee-wee herman crossover show would go over well. Expect it to come on UPN or FOXX, and also expect some merchandising, like Mcdonald's happy meal toys, key chains, lunchboxes, and kid's underwear. Also be aware of a 'features' fabulous adventures' movie to hit theatres soon after. It will also spinoff an interest in their two arcade game namesakes 'Rollum's supercool drumming machine' and 'the features v.s. Marvel Comics Characters...........

If they did a TV show, I'd like to see a Different Strokes spin-off-type. Parrish, the rich up-town Nashville keyboard player, loses his house keeper in a terrible gardening accident. He agrees to take care of her three sons, and the four then become a band...

OR maybe more of a Brady spin-off would be good.

Any way, I think the best way to do a film would be to copy the Beatles' Let It Be. I'd just like that to get an album out of them, and also because Let It Be is my favorite Beatles movie.

they could do a thing like the monkeys...where you just run around and get into crazy situations and at the end there is a song o in the middle of somehting they can break out into song

or how about that show called 'california dreams' it was like saved by the bell only it was about this garage band.

You know you have problems, with both money and alcohol, when you find yourself shoving beers down your pants outside a Features show.

i agree with the monkeys comment. noah had some really good ideas too; doens't sound like he's thought about this at all huh. anyway, I think they should just be silly and run around and play music and make jokes and do things like have pillow fights.
thank you for being a friend.

i think that 'boro dreams' may be the best idea i've ever heard in my life. in order to work though, the stock characters must emerge from members of the band...the jaded, misunderstood lead complete with leather coat...the innocent, peace-making goodie who at some point in the season will have to get addicted to pain-killers or maybe caffiene pills...the 'sly' ladies man, always schemeing up crazy hijinks or money-making scams...and internal cast dating is a must, complete with feuds where the band will have to decide just what's more important, girls or staying friends forever.

very good call, but who would be who? who would be the ladies man? who would be the bad boy? who would be the 'screech'. california dreams sucked by the way, I think I'd prefer the goddamned california raisins to that bunch of kids.
thank you for being a friend.
