I remember said graffiti.  From time to time, someone tries to put it back.

Brian's family's Bermuda Triangle story...

Ok, as Brian's older sister, let me fill the Bermuda Triangle story he struggled to remember.  It was the QE2, and it was the last sail she was due to make before a scheduled round-the-world cruise.  At one point during our cruise, the boilers died suddenly, and the ship experienced a bunch of malfunctions, to the point where it had to cancel a scheduled stop in Venezuela.

As an adult, I was watching some special on Bermuda Triangle mysteries they talked about how the QE2 once disappeared from U.S. Coast Guard radars for a time and then reappeared.  The glitch was then blamed on her boilers dying, and how that had made them cancel a stop in Venezuela and I thought, "Holy shit, that was the cruise we were on!"

For your consideration...

I don't know if you've ever considered doing a Shakespeare adaptation, but I just rewatched Ian McKellan's "Richard III" from 1995 last night on Netflix streaming and was blown away, again, by how brilliant that production is.  As far as Shakespeare goes, it's pretty understandable language and it has that great fascist Britain theme going on.  Not to mention some of the most ecclectic casting you'll ever see in a "period" piece (I mean, really, Robert Downey, Jr. as the queen's brother?)
