God only knows what a full-length movie could possibly add to the “CSI” franchise, but that’s not going to stop a CSI movie from being made, according to That Guy With The Beard.  But That Guy With The Beard (who shaved his beard, which totally F’s up my worldview) insists that this is about the story, not boatloads of cash.

“Yes, there will be a movie. I can understand people are a little trepidatious because of the franchise around the world and how well it’s doing. Usually people leave it until a series has finished – they did that with the X-Files and Sex and the City. But it’s about finding the right story – there has got to be a real reason to do it. You don’t just do it because you want to make money – you do it because there’s a story that can’t be told on TV and needs to be told from CSI’s perspective and the audience wants it. And we can’t wait for CSI to end or Grissom will be about 90,” he told the Radio Times.

Person: Check out this movie.  It’s about a team of Las Vegas investigators who get wrapped up in a gruesome crime that reveals the ugly grit behind the city’s sheen of glitz and bright lights.
Me: Wow, sounds good.  What’s it called?
Person: CSI: The Movie.
Me: **puts both thumbs down, makes fart noise**
