Title: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: halblaineisgood on January 29, 2007, 12:42:17 AM Think of all the hilarious anecdotes you've read over the years and imagine them being played out on the big screen. the Brian/Elvis meeting; "The Karate Chop Incident"..."I told you not to do that".......Having Iggy Pop and Alice Cooper singing shortenin bread over and over...well, maybe there's just those two. Huh. I didn't think this over very well. Well, the elvis incident at least....I laugh hysterically just thinking about that.
Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: Rocker on January 29, 2007, 06:27:53 AM I'd love to see that incident with some guy from the Eagles I believe. He asked Brian for an autograph, Brian wrote "To a great songwriter", then thought about it and crossed the word "great" out and wrote "good" instead of it. ;D
Also I would love to see the "pre-recorded answer"-thing when he went to Capitol-meetings, as was already used on "An american family". Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: punkinhead on January 29, 2007, 06:36:08 AM maybe the whole green paint story brought up in the Catch a Wave book...and repainting the house (cant remember what though)...and maybe having his gardner digging his own grave
Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: Andrew G. Doe on January 29, 2007, 07:34:47 AM Or this one from Nick Lowe, 1974...
"I met Brian in a restaurant in LA recently. Thought he was the perfect gentleman, right up until he buttered his head and put it between two slices of bread". Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: Chris Brown on January 29, 2007, 10:03:02 AM I'd love to see that incident with some guy from the Eagles I believe.

I remember hearing about that; didn't know it was someone from the Eagles. I laughed out loud just picturing Brian writing "thanks for all the great songs", then crossing it out and writing "good" instead. I just found that absolutely hilarious.

Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: PongHit on January 29, 2007, 02:11:38 PM The recent meeting of Brian & Bono should be included too! :o Heck, it could be a 1/2 hour weekly sitcom!

Post by: Rocker on January 29, 2007, 02:13:07 PM The recent meeting of Brian & Bono should be included too! :o Heck, it could be a 1/2 hour weekly sitcom! Something like "Oh, those Wilsons" ? Maybe Dennis could make a guest-spot and drive Mr Wilson crazy... :-D Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time?

Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: Dancing Bear on January 29, 2007, 03:11:03 PM In the deceased male Ego Board there were some proposals for a TV pilot of a reality show with the Wilsons: "WHEN ARE THESE KIDS GOING HOME?" :afro
Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on January 29, 2007, 03:30:20 PM I'm of the school of thought that states Brian should've beaten Ozzy Osbourne to the punch and have a "Wilsons" reality show.

I read that in an 'Apocryphal Rock'n'Roll stories' booklet accompanying the NME from about 1992ish, in that the story was attributed to the lead singer of The Wonder Stuff (early 90s crusty pop/rock band, singer was I think Miles Hunt)!

Post by: CosmicDancer on January 30, 2007, 05:17:16 AM The recent meeting of Brian & Bono should be included too! :o Heck, it could be a 1/2 hour weekly sitcom! I haven't heard about this one. What went down? Did Brian sign for him as well? "Thanks for all the great songs!" then cross out great and write shitty! Actually, to be fair, U2 was good through Achtung Baby then after that they were shitty. Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: Andrew G. Doe on January 30, 2007, 05:26:47 AM Went something like this:
Bono: [kneels before Brian] God bless you for all the great music you've written. Brian: Thanks - could you get me a diet coke ? Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time?

Yeah, I'm not sure of the validity of that story; since Tom Petty didn't release his first album until 1976, he may still have been hanging around Jacksonville, Florida in '74. It's one of those stories that reads funnier than it would have played out in real life; in fact it sounds like something Woody Allen would have written in one of his short story books.

Post by: Fun Is In on January 30, 2007, 09:13:18 AM Petty "....may still have been hanging around Jacksonville, Florida "
Tom is from Gainesville, FL.....did he have early career in Jacksonville too? Mud Crutch was a Gainesville group. Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: voxnut on January 30, 2007, 09:16:39 AM I'm sure most of you know about Peter Bagge's "Murry Wilson: Rock N' Roll Dad" episodes- but for those who don't, you can see them online at http://icebox.com/index.php?id=episode&show_id=s14&episode_id=e1&PHPSESSID=ddc8ea1d2dc19862b044cfff0ac330e2 (http://icebox.com/index.php?id=episode&show_id=s14&episode_id=e1&PHPSESSID=ddc8ea1d2dc19862b044cfff0ac330e2)
I think the first one is the best one... "We'll have fun in the sun, or I'm gonna get my belt!" Priceless... Dean Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: Joshilyn Hoisington on January 30, 2007, 11:07:08 AM I think most of the punchlines in this slapstick comedy biopic would involve some form of food or drink.

Post by: Sheriff John Stone on January 30, 2007, 01:29:52 PM I think most of the punchlines in this slapstick comedy biopic would involve some form of food or drink. Yes, as is one of my favorites, which is from Beautiful Dreamer.The interviewer is talking to Brian about the imfamous tent in the living room that was used for "meetings". The interviewer asks Brian (and I'm paraphrasing), "What did you do in the tent?" And Brian simply says, "Eat sandwiches." Cracks me up every time. :lol Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time?

Post by: SloopJohnB on January 31, 2007, 04:25:15 AM Two words:
"Hi, Queen!" ;D (For those who don't know about this, it comes from an interview with Foskett (http://www.new-surf.com/foskett/interviews.html (http://www.new-surf.com/foskett/interviews.html))) Quote Interviewer: Everybody has a "Brian" story - can you share a funny one with us? Jeff Foskett: He is a great source for entertainment to be sure. I will tell you the most recent funny thing that happened. We were performing the encore at Queen Elizabeth's Golden Jubilee Celebration. Surprisingly to all, Her Majesty decided to walk on stage and greet the performers. We had been copied on an "etiquette list" of do's and don'ts should the opportunity arise to meet Her Majesty. One of the don'ts was: "do not address Her Majesty as 'Queen'". As she approached Brian and myself, I leaned to him and said "Remember Bri, don't call her Queen, say 'Your Highness' or 'Your Majesty'". When she was right in front of us, Brian waved out his hand and said "Hi Queen!". What a character... She was very gracious. Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: Shady on January 31, 2007, 08:31:13 AM Don't know if this would make it into a Biopic, but...I just loved it when The beach boys were doing Tv Spots for full house, and it went something like this,
Band: Were the beach boys, and were on full house (Something like that) Women: (To Baby) Say Hi Beach Boys Brian: Hi Beach Boys !!!! ;D I love that Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: SG7 on January 31, 2007, 12:21:30 PM Hmm if i could have any part of BB history...
Brian and the pic he kept mooing in and annoying everyone :lol Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: Rocker on April 22, 2007, 03:47:11 PM A new Brian-story:
Quote Later, they give a private concert for us campers, Jeff and Brian with Wilson’s regular band, rendering all the old favourites. People in the audience are crying with happiness. Jeff ?calls the campers on stage to sing along. I see Wilson eyeing up Jan O’Brien from Tucson, who is right beside him. She was still skittish about it the next day, as she described how he came into her studio and looked her up and down and went over to her afterwards, when she had finished singing, and said: “You have nice legs.” She had seen him again in the car park and he continued flirting, telling her she had sung a nice song, gazing at her chest as he spoke. He was old, but Jan was still flattered. http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article1671729.ece (http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/music/article1671729.ece) Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: MBE on April 22, 2007, 08:52:32 PM Or this one from Nick Lowe, 1974... "I met Brian in a restaurant in LA recently. Thought he was the perfect gentleman, right up until he buttered his head and put it between two slices of bread". I think Petty said it in 1988 if I am not mistaken. Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: Andrew G. Doe on April 23, 2007, 01:28:23 AM I think it's a generic BW tale - certainly I saw it in a book of rock quotes attributed to Nick Lowe (or maybe it was Dave Edmunds) before 1988.
I still think the 1985 Madonna quote rules. Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on April 23, 2007, 06:52:38 AM What was that quote again?
Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: James Hughes-Clarke on April 23, 2007, 08:40:38 AM Anyone remember this one from around 1980 I think: Nick Kent turns up to interview Brian looking 'elegantly wasted' à la 1970's Keith Richards. Brian greets him and says "Hey, you look more like a rock star than me - maybe I should interview you!"
Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: pixletwin on April 23, 2007, 10:48:30 AM When the Flaming Lips toured with Beck Wayne would run a video for everyone while they were setting up which was an interview he conducted with Brian fro Vh1 which was never aired. The whole time Wayne is interviewing him, Brian has this terrified look on his face like he was worried Wayne was going to punch him or something. Weirdest interview I have ever seen.
Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: Andrew G. Doe on April 23, 2007, 03:02:19 PM The Madonna quote appeared in a 1985 issue of Musician, and as best I can recall goes something like (and you have to bear in mind the title of her then-current hit):
"Oh, Madonna, great song - I'd really like to meet her but I seriously doubt she's a virgin". Classic, classic Brian. ;D Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on April 23, 2007, 07:34:55 PM :lol
Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: Wirestone on April 23, 2007, 07:38:22 PM http://youtube.com/watch?v=h8g0laPq4Oc
Watch this through -- toward the end, Brian's "I like food" is a classic. Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: MBE on April 23, 2007, 09:55:07 PM Andrew one line you left out is really funny. Brian goes "I'm shaving my beard soon" then does a complete left turn and says" I would really like to meet Madonna. I would say ""Gee you're Pretty". I seriouslly doubt she's a virgin, but that's a good song"
Title: Re: Brian Wilson Biopic: Funniest movie of all time? Post by: ♩♬🐸 Billy C ♯♫♩🐇 on April 24, 2007, 07:06:45 AM OT, I know, but...
Quote Brian goes "I'm shaving my beard soon" Indeed he did. I think that was the last time he had one. |
