Tell me about this idea of yours to do a Tarkovsky-like sci-fi movie.
DGG: I really want someone to give me money to do that. It’d be a movie starring Paul Rudd–it’d be three-hours long.
PS: I play a male nurse in it.
DGG: Right, you play “Erickson” in it. George Smith is this buddy of ours, this writer who’s this amazing cinematographer and he wrote this screenplay that just blows my mind. He’s too smart. It’s about finding the right time to make that film, y’know.
PS: George is the kind of guy who’ll write the Great American Novel and they’ll find him mowing a lawn or something for a living. He’s spinning off this stuff, smarter than all of us, and he doesn’t seem to care–it’s not fair, I mean, for those of us who try so hard.

I will start googling for this Paul Rudd project. I might have even read about it years before and not have kept it in the noggin’ – lord knows i’ve read a shiton of DGG interviews.
