Today has quite a few famous birthdays. My favorites are Stephen King, Chuck Jones, H.G. Wells and Leonard Cohen.
There is a part of me that wishes these geniuses could somehow get together and collaborate. Between their four different sensibilities, I am sure they would have created something wonderful.
Maybe they could make a movie called: Carrie versus Marvin the Martian in The War of the Worlds. Hallelujah!
I, for one, would pay to see that.
The movie would, of course, need the right leading actor. My vote would be for another genius whose birthday is today — Bill Murray.
