For some reason, I don't really have any desire to see the upcoming movie that inspired this post, although I probably should, seeing as its loaded with old-fashioned talent. But the premise does get you thinking, doesn't it? For those of you who haven't heard, The Bucket List is about two men who learn they have terminal cancer, and then make a list of the things they want to do before they die.Depressing, I know, but as any Buddhist will tell you, all things are impermanent. So what do you want to accomplish with your time? Here's my slightly impromptu list:
Note: Some items are more realistic than others
1. Finish at least three of my novels.
2. Take Rachel McAdams out and ask her what she was thinking dating Ryan Gosling (who's apparently not a very nice guy), and for accepting the lead role in Red Eye, yet turning down one in The Dark Knight.
3. Find a career that will let me tell stories for a living.
4. Kidnap the entire Lost writing staff and force them to answer all of my questions.
5. Travel to Greece.
6. Take Bryan Singer and Brandon Routh to court for ruining Superman. I mean, seriously, this guy looks like a Friday Night Lights actor wearing a Halloween costume that's a few sizes too small.
7. Make a family of my own and take good care of them.
8. Time-travel back to the first century A.D., show Jesus an Aramaic copy of the Gospels, and ask, "Is that the jist of it?"
9. Finish at least three screenplays.
10. Figure out a way to keep Ann Coulter from ever speaking or writing another word. You know, words like, "We should invade their countries, kill their leaders, and convert them to Christianity." (On Islam)

That's a good list, Mr. Morgan. :) I hope you are doing ok, if you're ever up Shelby-way, stop and say hello, eh?
This post is invalid. You questioning the dating Ryan Gosling is sacrilege.
