NEW YORK - It's an odd idea for a movie, even for Michael Jackson (news). "Jersey Girl" director Kevin Smith (news) says he once got an offer to direct the pop singer in a movie about a man who turns into a car that gets ridden around by a boy.

Smith tells Playboy magazine that Jackson wanted to play the car/man role. The proposed title of the film, and Smith says this is no lie, was "Hot Rod."

1. Why is this strange

there has been a number of "talking car" movies.

Michael Jackson...as a car with a boy riding in it.

"Hot Rod"

6. Creepy

:scared:

But, I think they set Michael up alot for this kind of stuff based on his previous reputation..because he's so odd, it's easy to manipulate him to try to get weird news stories out of him.

In this movie we have

"This is one example where the movie felt rushed and with a sixty-five minute running time to squeeze in the hotrodders, reporters, square parents, rival hotrodders, old lady, talking parrot, talking car, haunted house, costume ball, and a guy dressed up as monster that looks like cracked pavement, you may not exactly be wishing it was longer, but more time should have been allotted to connect the dots. I'm thinking that this could have been at least seventy or seventy-five minutes."
