What do YOU most want to see in Brian's upcoming biopic?

[Mr. Cohen]

The movie should start with Brian literally digging his own grave in his backyard, as per Jack Rieley's story.

Brian taking acid on the beach and staring at the sunrise.

Brian and the boys hanging out with Maharishi, and then recording the song "Friends". Random scenes of acid rock raves in San Francisco and political rallies should be interspersed.

Brian writing "Catch A Wave" and also "California Girls" with Mike.

Brian's threesome with Tandyn Almer.

Rapid fire scenes of Murry's abuse set to the song "Cuckoo Clock".

[Emdeeh]

I'm still holding out for an anime production. The two "loser" BB biopics we've seen so far have convinced me that live action doesn't cut it.

Truth be told, I'm not even remotely interested in Brian as hero on the music-genius pedestal or any sleazy stuff, for that matter. I'm far more interested in Brian the human being. I'd like some balance in telling the story. Brian and his brothers, associates, etc. as real people.

And believable beards, please!

[Mr. Cohen]

Ah yes, the anime. Brian-sama: 音楽神 (Music God).

[SMiLE Brian]

Murry, great ideas.

Yeah. The beard issue. As Bret Wheadon (of www.beachboys.com) has it: they looked like creatures from Planet Of The Apes in that movie...

[Alan Smith]

I know what will happen. They will play up the abuse from Murry, the drugs, and the mental illness. They will make the Brian of 1968 the Brian of 1975 and Mike Love will be a villain.

Could well be. A depressing idea.

I just never raise my hopes. smilethebeachboysloveyou perfectly describes 95 percent of them.

And there you have it, Mike - an epic movie musical using only the songs from smilethebeachboysloveyou called Murry-Mia

[Letsgoawayforawhile]

As long as it is the opposite of Ray, Walk the Line, The Aviator, etc. I will be happy.

I hope it's like Walk Hard.

[Lowbacca]

I hope it's like Walk Hard.

Seriously. Great movie. 

[rogerlancelot]

I find it kind of creepy making a biopic about somebody who is still alive and functioning. Wouldn't it be a better idea to focus on The Drummer instead?

But if they do make this movie, the suggestion about David Marks having an acid trip is my favorite so far. And nudity.

A few other scenes, maybe not as crazy, but still vital...

Brian cruising to a diner with Gary Usher. The two drink milkshakes and then go for a jog on the beach, running until they're physically exhausted.

Brian sort of sits on Landy's lap. Landy explains Christianity to Brian. Brian writes "Still I Dream Of It".

Brian and Dennis arguing with Jack Reiley that the Beach Boys never wrote surf songs, again as per Reiley.

Extended montage of Brian sucking on a baby's bottle and writing the chords to "I Love To Say Dada", mixed with scenes of Brian being fed by his mother, from nursing to eating pancakes in the emptiness of his childhood home after his airplane meltdown.

Brian and Mike sittin' in a rambler, just like teenage gamblers, tunin' in to '50s pop radio. Before this, from Mike's balcony, you can see the lights of L.A. We fade back from the car to see it again.

Brian spills hot chocolate on Marilyn at show. A few nights later, the two are making out in Brian's car in Marilyn's driveway. As Brian pushes up Marilyn's skirt, we can see the burn mark on her thigh.

The movie ends with "Male Ego" playing as Brian walks along Santa Monica Pier.

[Chocolate Shake Man]

Inspired by these hilarious suggestions, as well as the Star Trek: TNG Season 8 Twitter feed, I have come up with a few ideas for The Beach Boys TV Series. I think these would all make for exciting episodes:

Trouble arises when Dennis sleeps with two journalists from rival newspapers; Bruce gets his teeth whitened.

The boys are upset when Al brings home another stray dog; meanwhile, Brian eats a thousand hamburgers in one sitting.

Murry needs to be reassured by the boys when his pants split open at an important meeting at Capitol headquarters; Mike tries to phone the President but keeps being put on hold.

The boys decide to throw a surprise party for Carl; Charles Manson comes by and threatens to strangle Bruce.

Dennis plans to drive over the grand canyon; Carl finds a new bagel shop and considers moving in.

Bruce is upset because Mike won’t allow him to display his Grammy award; Al is upset because no one is paying attention to his swear jar.

Brian and Marilyn plan their honeymoon; she rejects his request to camp out in Spector’s backyard. Meanwhile, Dennis fills Mike’s hat with shaving cream

Dennis gives Al tips on how to speak to girls; Carl comes up with 30 guitar riffs in one day but then discovers that they all sound like Johnny B. Goode.

Brian comes up with a great ‘feel’ with Marilyn’s sister; Bruce does some crosswords

Brian gets called for jury duty but chaos ensues when he won’t take off his fire helmet in court; Dennis tries to juggle 19 dates in one night

Mike and Bruce briefly open a deli and meet a lot of colourful characters; Brian finally listens to Side B of Sgt. Pepper and then tries to explode the house

Carl is embarrassed at the recording session when it is revealed that he can’t whistle; Al gets nightmares after listening to a Steppenwolf album

Mike meditates for forty-two hours straight on top of Bruce’s lucky shorts; Bruce is late for a job interview

They should seriously re-create the "I Get Around" session where Brian fires Murry or the infamous "Help Me Ronda" session.

[Shady]

I want it to be proof read by AGD and Phil Cohen..

Seriously though, it would be a dream to have some of the Beach Boys scholars involved

[Don Malcolm]

R&R you are a stone (or is that stoned?) genius. So many great ones--I especially like the idea that Al is the Loretta Young of the BBs. Classic!

Naturally, what I want in the biopic is the full version (with complete lyrics) for "Beatrice from Baltimore."

[Quzi]

I don't think the board went down because of "sever issues" or even "Wouldn't it Be Nice (To Live Again)". Frankly, I believe rockandroll unearthed a goldmine here and I'm calling it first that Capitol recognised this, took the board down, pillaged a few of our ideas and deleted the evidence to avoid infringement claims. Brian, David and Al are in negotiations as we speak to put aside their differences with Bruce and Mike so filming can start off the Florida Keys in August.

[Iron Horse-Apples]

We've lost some of the best ones. Rocknroll, please repost them if you saved them.

[Chocolate Shake Man]

Fortunately the only ones of my own that I didn't have saved were salvaged on here. I'm away from my own computer so I will re-post them later today maybe with a few new ones. Unfortunately I don't have any of the others. Hopefully someone else saved them.

[hypehat]

Nooooo! Bloody board.

Someone needs to animate these like The Murry Wilson Show.
