Bob and David make a movie -- Hooray for America! -- Bonus sketch scripts! Fagit & Morello ; Nineteen Fifty-Bleven ; Famous pussies.
"Bob Odenkirk and David Cross, creators of HBO's classic sketch comedy show Mr. Show, present to you this collection of never-before-seen scripts and ideas that Hollywood couldn't find the gumption to green-light. Simply put...Hollywood said no! Since Mr. Show closed up shop, Bob and David have kept busy with many projects-- acting in fun, successful, movies and TV shows, directing things, and complaining about stuff that didn't turn out well to anyone who would listen, and even alone, in silence, inside their own heads. Hollywood said no! reveals the full-length, never-before-seen scripts for Bob and David Make a Movie (fleshed out with brand-new storyboards by acclaimed artist Mike Mitchell) and Hooray For America!: a satirical power-house indictment of all that you hold dear. This tome also includes a bonus section of orphaned sketch ideas from the Mr. Show days and beyond, suitable for performance by church groups that aren't all koo-koo about religion. What you hold in your hands, and are about to buy, is chock-full of comic twists, turns, and maybe a few hard truths. We said "maybe," but what we mean was "probably not."Now, for the first time, take a peek at the scripts that didn't get the go-ahead and ponder a world we can only dream about...and beyond!"--Back cover.

Must-read for Mr. Show fans submitted by britain on August 7, 2014, 7:11pm I can kind of understand why these movies didn't get made, but if you like Bob and David and words on a printed page, you will probably enjoy this. They even include illustrations, to augment the theatre of your mind.
