Just call me Captain Willard (or Marlowe) because Dolphins are my Colonel Kurtz. I'll punch mirrors, travel up river, listen to the Stones with "Larry" Fishburne and surf on a hot LZ just to get at those freaking haughty maritime mammals. Even though I can't use Avid or Final Cut or whatever else nerds use to make their own Star Wars tribute movies with Jawas, I would like to create Apocalypse Now Redux, Redux. It would be 99.9% the same as the normal Apocalypse Now Redux, including the hot French Bitch Willard bangs at the plantation, with one exception: You know the scene where Kurtz' army goes into that orgiastic ritual culminating in hacking the hell out of that cow? Yeah - you know - the one that tormented your childhood (if your parents were dumb enough, like mine, to let you watch FREAKING APOCALYPSE NOW AT AGE SEVEN)... To create Apocalypse Now Redux, Redux, I would take that scene and put in a CGI dolphin. Yep. Hack the hell out of a dolphin instead.
Hold on a second... Strike that. I would REFILM THE WHOLE SCENE at a massive expense and then Really Hack the Hell out of an actual dolphin. How great would that be? Enhance a true piece of American art by eliminating bovine violence and adding some harmless fun AND the actual opportunity to take cleavers and machetes to a real live killer dolphin. Brilliant.
But there still would be a tad of CGI. When the dolphin finally falls to it's knees, er, flipper (?) I'd put a little computer explosion shockwave ring - because if I knew I made a great movie and CGI shockwave technology didn't exist at the time I made it, damn skippy I'd go back later and add a CGI shockwave despite the fact that a shockwave indicates an atmosphere and space doesn't have... what's it called? Oh yeah - an atmosphere.
