First Draft
Okay. I've completed my first draft of the "Meet Booster Gold" script. It's more ambitious than I first thought, and I'll need help from some talented cosplayers to get it done right. (I can edit video and sound, but I'll need performers.)
Here's the introduction:
FADE IN
INT. NONDESCRIPT ROOM
BOOSTER GOLD directly addresses the camera in a confessional style. This could be a webcam or a cell phone selfie.
BOOSTER
Are you recording now?
SKEETS
(voice over)
Yes, sir. You may begin when ready.
BOOSTER
Hi, I'm Booster Gold. You may recognize me from my commercials for Soder Cola and Brysler Motors, but I'm not just another pretty face. I'm a bona fide super hero!
CUT TO EXT. STREET CORNER
This begins a series of "man on the street" style interviews as seen on the evenings news. Like Booster, interviewees look directly into camera. These can be shot in any environment.
INTERVIEWEE 1
Booster Gold? He saved my mom from the Royal Flush Gang.
CUT TO DIFFERENT INTERVIEWEE
INTERVIEWEE 2
Yeah, I know him. He was in the Justice League. Good guy.
CUT TO DIFFERENT INTERVIEWEE
INTERVIEWEE 3
He's no Green Lantern.
Of course I go on to cover Booster's mischievous past and time traveling present. I've posted the whole script in the Boosterrific Forum.
My readings have clocked the whole script in at about 2 minutes, but I'm reasonably satisfied that I've covered all the key elements of Booster Gold's character and adventures. Once you've read it, let me know what you think either here, the Forum, or via email at webmaster at Boosterrific.com.
(Especially get in touch if you're interested in being on camera for this. As you can see, I'll need several cosplayers and "actors." Personally, I've always been a behind the scenes person myself.)
Thanks for your support!

Since We're Talking About Booster Gold Videos
While I'm considering creating a "This Is Your Life" video for Booster Gold, it's interesting to take a look at some comparables. Youtube's Comic Drake is a big Booster Gold fan, and he's made some videos highlighting Booster's comic book career. In this one, he explains what he personally likes about Booster Gold.
I think that's great, but it's not quite what I have in mind. I'm thinking shorter (and less emphasis on Booster's "scumbag" qualities). In 60 seconds, can we tell a typical superhero movie watcher who has never opened a comic (and will never open a comic) why they need to meet Booster Gold? I think we can.

Straight From the Horse's Mouth
In the comments to last week's rant, Boosts-Marvelous suggested that to counteract the inaccurate descriptions of Booster Gold that have cropped up across the Internet as of late, Booster's fans should make a short video describing the character's highlights.
I think that's a great idea. If Booster Gold is going to get a movie, there are a whole lot of people who have never heard of him who will need to be told how awesome he is. But to make this video a reality, I need your help.
Tell me, if you had 60 seconds to describe what you think is key to understanding the character of Booster Gold, what would you say? Thief with a heart of gold? Time traveler seeking redemption for past mistakes? Glory hound? Athlete? Comedian? Teammate? Entrepreneur? Friend?
If you have an opinion, leave a comment in this thread. Or join us for a discussion in the Boosterrific Forum. Or email me directly at webmaster at Boosterrific.com.
Help me make a video we can all be proud of.

Enthusiasm Should Count for Something
I've put off watching this video from Exploring the Multiverse for weeks, because it bothers me to listen to people who have no idea what they are taking about talk. It's almost painful. However, I ultimately do have to support anyone who is willing to devote an hour of his time to discuss Booster Gold.
Spoiler: in the end they agree to dislike the new Booster Gold costume. Whatever I might fault Mike, Victor, and Bill for their lack of preparation (they seriously didn't know that Booster Gold had his own title before 2007?), they deserve full credit for their super hero fashion sense. Good job, guys.
