I have worked out my dreamcast for Moon. I will never work in casting.
My dream director is David Fincher. Spike Jonze is also on the list. After that, Wes Anderson.
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Hey. New board.
Spike Jonze would be awesome. I'm not sure I know who David Fincher is. IMDB time. Wes Anderson - huh. I'm not sure I'd like him on it, actually, though I'm not sure why. I guess it just doesn't strike me as a story that's focused towards the quirks of dysfunctional humans, which is what my brain fastens on for him.
ETA: Oooh. Fight Club, Seven? I'm in on Fincher.

I think the quirks of the dysfunctional humans, when assembled together in just the right order, make the loonie revolution possible. I think Wes Anderson would get the dark humor throughout the story, and the quirks of the characters make them loveable and very familiar. Makes it easy to root for them and believe what they believe. I think.
Thus ends my defense of Anderson as third on my list of dreamdirectors of Moon.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
My dream director is David Fincher
Just think of the ten-minute CGI tracking shots through Luna City!

Hey. New board.
Your defense is good, Allyson. If I heard an announcement of a collaboration between Wes Anderson and Tim, I would no doubt celebrate.

One Hot Burrito!
I've watched I ::heart:: Huckabees a bunch lately. I'm not entirely convinced that David O'Russel couldn't pull it off.
Am I crazy?

I don't think it's a collaboration between the writer and director in film.
I think it's more like, Tim writes a brilliant script.
It is passed off to Paul Verhoeven is hired to direct.
Cast as follows:
Manny: Paul Walker
Wyoh: Halle Berry, wearing the Catwoman suit for no apparent reason
Prof: Robin Williams
Mike: Haley Joel Osment
The Warden: Gilbert Godfried
Alvarez: Ludacris
The story will be about how love can make the whole Moon sing, in perfect harmony.
Tim will be inconsolable for a week. Then he'll get over it and spend 15 days awake, hallucinating, doing something else.
If I get used to it now, I'll be pleasantly surprised later when it works out so much better.
I believe in preparing for the worst.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's interesting, that moment when you pass from pre-migraine into an actual migraine.

I'm not entirely convinced that David O'Russel couldn't pull it off.
David O. Russell (it's an initial, not a prefix) is always my first choice to direct anything, because he is brilliant. Insane, but brilliant. (I thought I'd mentioned him in my post, but apparently I forgot to write that sentence.)
I don't think it's a collaboration between the writer and director in film.
You left out "script gets rewritten 12 million times by various committees of producers, script doctors, and focus groups."
