Movie Ideas

- Some guy hallucinates a magical adventure in another world, with a fair dose of talking trees and the moon and shit, I dunno, some kind of Alice in Wonderland/Wizard of Oz rip-off.

- Microscopic Aliens attempt to take over the planet, but no one seems to notice.

- A war movie that turns out to be just some kids playing "war" in their backyard. Eh.

- A group of scientists go back in time and accidentally kill themselves as kids, they have to cope with living in the past and the potential paradox that may occur, or something.

- Some kind of alien thing lands in a city and it baffles the citizens and eventually makes them do crazy things, no actual aliens though, psychological shit.

- Cloverfield/Blair Witch type movie about a guy filming his kids baseball game... most boring movie ever, but drama escalates as the concession stand runs out of hot dogs.

- A duo of burglars break into a house only to find that the house has been deserted, so they just sit around and reminisce about their past, then they set the house on fire.

- Two lifelong friends fall in love with the same car so they have a falling out, but neither has enough money to buy it anyway so it turns out they buy it together, but then the one dies in a car accident. The hilarity ensues.

- An off-the wall movie about a Pizza Shop... Think 'Clerks' combined with 'Waiting' combined with 'The Big Lebowski' combined with 'Matrix' combined with 'Hunt for Red October'.

- A 'fake' true story about one of those guys that runs the zemboni at hockey games and his addiction to cartoons.

Huh?

Trying to think of some ideas for a screenplay. I have probably started writing about 20 screenplays of various lengths, but I only finished one of them, and that was co-written by a friend in High School and I'm pretty sure he has the only copy of it... Wish I could read that one again, it was some funny shit.

Basically, it's a time thing. If i had enough time to actually focus on an idea, I would definitely be finishing these damn things, but with life comes...well life. Work, wife, family, blah blah blah... Not enough time to just write, and apparently when I do have time to write I'm posting pointless things on a blog. Sheesh, I need to prioritize my shit.

Anyway, I forget what I originally wanted to write about but I don't think it was screenplays, or maybe it was... I did just get a pretty good screenplay app on my iPad, so I was probably thinking about that.

Oh... And another thing. Mystery Science Theater 3000 is one of the funniest shows ever. I've been spending a lot of my "screenplay writing time" watching old episodes of this show and cracking the fuck up over and over again. It really was a great idea to just have a whole show of people mocking crappy movies, wish I would've thought of that. One complaint though is that the theme song has been stuck in my head for about a week now... all three versions of it.

I think that's all I care to speak about at this time, leave me be please... leave me be.
