Another crazy dream
I found the following story on my phone this morning. Thank heavens I have a full keyboard on my phone I guess. I've slightly edited it for clarity.
I have to write this down before I forget more of it.
I just woke up from watching this amazing Michael Bay/Christopher Guest collaborative summer blockbuster. The only bit of background I remember is that there are these aliens living among us disguised as humans. The main character of the show was this one who looked like one of my professors from the University of Minnesota named Jeremy Rose. Most of the dream has completely faded by now, but I remember some of the final scene.
The Jeremy Rose alien, who I guess was named George Lazlo, just narrowly avoided being destroyed by the evil alien who was hunting him. He did this by turning his 1960s car into a large robot suit and throwing the evil alien somewhere. I don't really remember what happened to the evil alien. Anyway, the Jeremy Rose looking alien is standing there and is negotiating a peace treaty with the local authorities and decides to turn himself in because he has just discovered he is both the last of his kind and the last of the Methodists. So he says, "I, George Lazlo, as the last [some crazy alien race name] and the last Methodist, resolve to live peacefully hence forward," and then he works out details for returning the scrappy band of college friends he made to their familes.
The movie closed with him living in a field with his dog looking at the sky.
I woke up thinking, "this is a fantastic movie! I love how he was so dedicated to being a Methodist," and then it all started to fade and I realized in horror that it wasn't a real movie.
Dear Christopher Guest and Michael Bay, please figure out the rest of the movie as I dreamed it and make it. Please. The Last Methodist. Instant summer blockbuster.
