The prequel to Shark Week: The Movie

Sammy vs. Sherman

An amateur ninja, saturated with film-inspired dreams of getting Vegased at full throttle, arrives at his casino hotel room to discover that his uninvited roommate is a flying shark, who is also a stalker.


Set to the music of "Cool in Progress"

To continue our island discussion

I saw this in the news and thought it could be worked in-

Maybe something falls from the sky, causes a volcano to grow and erupt, and the sulfur is extra poisonous, causing the people around to get infected.

I don't think I like zombies- I like ghost pirates, but I just don't want them to be dead. Maybe the disease just makes you turn into a pirate. And possibly also see-through for the cool CG effect.

Also, I may have typed this before somewhere else but-
Sandland
Sandland 2: The Beach Island

Of course, there already is an anime called Sand Land (actually Sandy Randy, oh no, Sando Rando)

So maybe Beachland, or maybe there's too many lands, so Sand Island or Beach Island, and Beach Island 2: They have to go to Trash Island instead

I got Sammy all riled up the other day

It's too much fun sometimes.

Hitchcock

Been watching some twilight zone marathons lately, great hooks in some of those, that guy knew a story twist like no one else. I think we would be good at mini movies. Here's one, a man's wife is murdered by a man with a face tattoo. Driven by revenge, he begins a search to find the killer, eventually finding him and killing him in a back alley. His relief is short when he discovers the next day that the defining face tattoo which he thought defined the killer, is a modern day trend and everyone on the street has one. He has killed an innocent man! Just then, the spouse of the murdered man sneaks from the shadows and stabs him in the back.

The End

ok so maybe they need a little work

BeerSexCollege

How popular would BeerSex College be? man, everyone would want to go there. I know I would. Maybe it could be a college for people of any age. A dropout university, and our mascot would be Kanye, the first proud dropout (keeping kids in the schools). I think it's amazing that the colleges are just addressing kids illegally using ritalin to study. Kind of like the NFL just realizing about concussions or Penn State just learning about about the child rape. They know, they're just waiting until they HAVE to deal with it. Ritalin makes better students, just at the expense of the them going crazy with anxiety. I think 99% of people hated school at some point from the ages of 6-22. We are the 99%. or is that slogan already taken for something else?

More sunshine

COLLEGE! More kid should have gone to Blue Mountain State. OR BeerSex College

This is my jam

http://www.visitnorway.com/en/Games-and-more/Wingsuit-Video/


Best action scene of the year is either the Wingsuits in Transformers or Tom Cruise on the Burj- this makes me want to give it to the wingsuits, but I felt the Burj more, and that hasn't happened in a while.

All of this stuff brings me back to the opening chase in Casino Royale.

Superhero movies have ruined action scenes.

This guy is either hilarious or scary. Or hilariously scary.

Tebow! I'm gonna go ahead and continue my streak or ruining big games for my teams by making bogus claims beforehand. I fully expect the patriots to destroy the Denver Broncos, and how funny is Tebow singing religious songs to himself! Now I understand amazing grace or something classic like that, but religious pop songs and various bible verses? Doesn't really pump me up. Makes me slightly uncomfortable because he's not a very good singer. You really have to support your cause if you suck at singing and you sing about it. I take that back by the way, amazing grace would be just as hilarious to hear at the line of scrimmage. It might be kinda racist of me, but I don't think this would be as lame if it was a black guy singing bible phrases. I think Ray Lewis does that, and it's way more scary and intimidating.

Should we have missed Kanye's latest concert?

The show was so good that it made Kanye apologize to the audience as they exited the stage.

"Sorry if this is your first concert. It's all downhill from here," he said.

I don't really understand why we need to hear niggas in paris 9 times in a row. The radio does that and it just seems to really make you never want to hear a song again.

Random Movie Idea of the day

I was going through and old notebook and found this gem in my drunk handwriting.

Forgetfully Yours

Story of a man who, after getting his marriage proposal turned down, fakes an amnesia-inducing car accident to win her back. His newfound cluelessness allows him a second chance at getting to know her.

To Be Continued

All this from a guy who's favorite movie is Bad Boys 2?

In my mind, I had hoped that movies now a days were a lot like video games. You're first movie in a series is basically a test run. You throw out a concept, see if people respond, and if they do you get a bigger budget to do it right in the sequel. What I don't understand is why so many flops get sequels. I thought everyone hated the Expendables.

Some of those on the list are up for debate as sequels. Just because you remaster a movie in 3d doesn't make it a new movie. I understand the Disney movies coming out for a new generation to see in theatres. I don't understand Star Wars Episode 1 coming back out. Is there really a group of kids that are dissapointed they missed it in theaters? I had just the opposite feeling.

You can't tell me you won't see the new Batman. or the Hobbit. That would be a good date for Alisha, she's read all the Lord of the Rings books, which takes some serious effort. I don't even think I made it through the last one, too many elfish names like LorgenNornaDoone.

Also, seeing as the only other movies on the high grossing list are the smurfs and Rio, I think I'll play it safe and go see another Spiderman before venturing out into the world of Adam Sandler based comedies. People do fear change, and sometimes thats not a bad thing. I'm not saying we needed another American Pie, but it's gotta be better than whatever else Will Ferrell is scheming up right now.

Sequels planned for 2012

oh yeah

and a sandwich is not too bad, I once woke up at the house across the street with a huge wad of gum completely lodged in my happy trail, and i hadn't been chewing gum when i went to bed.

Thoughts on Luke's Bon Ivers-like Forray into the Woods

He's loooossst in the wooooodsss....

So is Luke too famous? Is that why he has to disappear to nature? Or is he just like a regular guy who has had enough of the monotony, enough of the organized hoarding that is everyday life? Maybe show a few shots of him doing dishes, folding laundry, paying his taxes, shit that just makes a regular guy want to run screaming into the woods.

I like the idea of him trading down in a reverse paperclip kinda way. giving his flat screen tv to a bum for half a sandwich (turkey sandwich, with south african spices maybe? ps what are south african spices?)

I also like the idea of him coming out of the woods into san fran, but he should be changed in some way when he does. Maybe he's wearing like a cave man outfit? Space suit? Something to really set him apart from the people on the street, like he's come out of the woods a changed man. Even though he hasn't found what he's looking for yet, he's got a different VIEW of them now that he's gone through his woods transformation.

It's the little things

Imagine my surprise when I woke up with a flattened, half-eaten turkey sandwich stuck to my belly this morning.

What really impressed me was that I had taken the time to properly season the sandwich with some classy South African spices.

Bird's Eye View Update

Opening with dollar floating in a swimming pool, then we see it's on a hook. Luke is also in the pool- he stares at his money, his house, his girl (who is holding the fishing pole) gets out of the pool, and walks into the woods, shedding his clothing, his possessions.

While walking in the woods, we see flashbacks to how Luke got here. Luke coming to the big city, Luke in interviews, Luke bustling around, Luke making money, buying a house. These scenes are cut against Luke wandering through the woods, trying to get deeper and deeper, further from the things he used to hold dear.

Unfortunately, he keeps finding things in the woods that remind him of civilization, and hes trudges on, frustrated. He always has a possession with him, which he keeps trading down. The opposite of the paperclip story.

The finale of the story is presented when Luke keeps pushing through the woods, until he has pushed so far he comes out the other side, standing on a hillside, staring at San Francisco. He straightens up his tie, cleans his hair, and approaches the city to start over again.
