Let's say that one of us wins the lottery 6 times in a row and as one of our indulgences decides to hire the best to make a film about the evolution and devolution of the custom clay chip market from approximately 2005 through 2015.
In the beginning, everyone will be riding high: T.R. King is still producing on the Scrown mold; ASM is popping out some sweet vintage looking shit; BCC has a color palette like no other but Paulson themselves. It will be mostly smooth sailing and therefore a bunch of montages of the developments in the industry and will even highlight a few of the best custom sets from each era (provided the right chippers sign releases).
But then gradually things will deteriorate. The chinks in BCC's armor will begin to show; Dennis will decide to dissolve TRK; finally ASM will be sold, first we think to a fellow chipper who wants to take things into the future by a move to Vegas. Then a new figure emerges from the darkness. A questionable figure. A red figure. But in spite of the crumbling empire, yet another new figure emerges. A brighter figure. A British figure. And he gets the band back together for a tour to top all those that came before.
Anyway, we'll get the Coen brothers to write the script and Bennett Miller to direct, but who will star in this beautiful disaster? My picks below. Yours? I'm sure some folks will have good inclusions for characters I didn't even put below...
THE MAIN CAST
Jim Blanchard (ASM) (yes, he will need aging makeup, but there's really no other choice):
Dr. Red Ott (Fiery Pits of Hell):
Michael Dambach (ASM):
@David Spragg (CPC):
Mike Endy (BCC):
Dennis O'Neill (TRK):
AND THE SUPPORTING CAST:
Jamie (ASM):
Sallie (ASM):
Greg (ChipTalk):
Joe (PGI):
