I have a movie idea. It starts off with me just running. You know, some action packed run sequence where the camera is on a wire, zipping past buildings and people as I duck and dodge obstacles on my left and right. Words can't really describe this intense scene, but I have a feeling that the audience at this point will have been wishing they got the XL coke, cuz they're gonna be exhausted just from watching me run.
Who am I running from? Glad you asked. Bad guys of course. Really bad guys are chasing me. You see, I stole page 47 of their How To Become A Bad Guy, When You're Really A Good Guy manual. Page 47 contained the formula for how to convert Everclear into a nice ginsing tea - a trick known by few, and conveted by many. Anyways, they're hot on my tail!
Oh, I forgot to mention that backstory above plays out while I'm running, you know with one of those rack focus' off of me, and into the backstory, then a quick zoom/rack focus back to me after it's over. We cut in just as I'm jumping on and sliding over the hood of a taxi. The camera whips around to reveal to me, and the by-now-on-the-edge-of-their-seats audience, that the taxi driver is my Mom... that's when the titles flash up on the screen, as we freeze frame the shot of my mom's taxi ID card hanging off the rear view mirror, Mother Futon. Da Da DAAAAAAAAAH.
So that's only the intro, but I really think the premise of running and bad guys and Everclear to ginsing tea is going to sell a boat load of tickets.

I like it. And for the surprise ending, just when he thinks he's gotten away safely, he gets hit by a bus (or a mack truck), and then you do a white flash wash and it cuts to you in a coma in a hospital bed, you body jerks and then the ekg flatlines. Turns out the bad guy you were running from was death himself!

Rmac - death chasing me! It's so deep, on so many levels. This is gonna make that "I see dead people" movie look like a joke!

Niko - That's like saying that Fast and Furious was like Point Break. We all know the plot lines were WORLDS apart...

Is there any room for a mariachi band or tortillas in this flick? You could really reach out to a whole additional fan base...as long as the theater sells hot tomalies.

Sancho - Product placement did cross my mind... Running while eating a tamale, would rival that Matrix bullet scene... I just can't decide, corn, or flour tortilla...

Noah.. depends on which Fast/Furious.. I would say Pt. 2 was like Point Break. Pt. 1 was great though - from a cinematography and futonography perspective..
