A brief history of the movie, which, like Led Zeppelin's 4th album, is untitled. Not because we're crazy pretentious, but because we're crazy indecisive.

So, in early spring 2008 I finally saw the 1986 classic British film Withnail & I. As far as I can remember, that was the jumping-off point for the plot of our movie: two guys slumming it in an apartment somewhere doing practically nothing. I transposed it to a college campus in present-day America and gave them a definite mission, namely, to get into, and then out of, a frat.
Tom and I tossed around the idea of doing a film that was a number of shorts, but only two of them really took- the aforementioned story, which would also involve them being in a band somehow a la Spinal Tap, and a story that I ripped off from an episode of Doctor Who.
So during the summer of 2008 we slowly patched the script together. Then suddenly it was time to go off to school... but summer 09 draws nearer, and when it gets here... then the movie shall be made.
For real(?)
