Anyone got any cool ideas for movies?

[wageslave]

steady guys.... sure PI (one of my fave films ever by the way, and Im an ex-mathematician (too bloody hard)- MSc in the damn subject - just thought Id throw that in) does touch on the stock market, but there is plenty more juicy stuff in there, wasnt assyrix suggesting a mysterious conspiracy? Weird alien power perhaps? Government agents? - that isnt the world of PI is it?
Besides its just food for thought....

Alien conspiracy is a new idea.

assyrix, you have obviously not seen darren arronofsky's (or however you spell it) PI which is a thriller about the stock market. i think maybe you should look it up. it was only one of the biggest indie films of 1999 and a great film with it . i would say claiming the idea as your own would be against the law. never mind , just your best "idea" gone , keep thinking.

I have actually seen Pi, interesting film, and true, it deals with stock market exuberances (I have completely forgotten about that one, bleh).

I'd like to know from Sean Silver if all our ranting and arguing actually gave him any idea about a short film - otherwise it was much ado about nothing

[director666]

so basically, the poor sod who started this topic hasnt got an answer or any help whatsoever!?
Nevermind, he got too see alot of people ranting and raving about idea's. At the end of the day, not everyone loves the same kind of film, so your idea (whatever it is) may appeal to someone else.

Good luck for everyone's idea's and projects

I Think Sean Silver is a Senior who created an alter ego to start this rampage (just like me).

Anything can be an interesting subject if treated properly and filtered through your own personal cheese and whatever personality. the trick is to find what stands out or attracts your attention no matter how slightly or for what reason.
it could be something seen every day but not noticed before "In that contect" Like a jugsaw puzzle in a tornado eventually some of the peices will fit together or be in proximity with each other.
others are crashed together but do not really fit.
"Sometimes 1+1 do not equal 2"
Perspective can be learned, or tought.
Without any outward macinations just for a split second pretend that anything you can touch, smell, taste, and hear, around you is real, anything you see through a window or hear through the glass is a hologram designed to keep you sane because you are on a very long space voyage and to see nothing but stars for 20 years of your life would drive you to madness.
If you consider testing this thoery with a projectile, you have probably carried the exercise a teensy bit to far. and should perhaps consider the fact that you were actually out there (The world) before you started to consider windows holograms.
Should this not break the mood think how you will sound explaining to guy repacing the window at Burger World that you were just debunking a common myth while waiting for your fish sandwich and diet soda. The swat team will be glad to hear we are not really on our way to the crab nebula as well.
If this fails stick a slice of lunch meat to the appeture in question. for three valid reasons 1 Holographic projectors hate that. 2 You might be able to concoct a reasonable explination for this behavior and have someone almost try to believe you. 3 its cheaper.
Should the lunch meat begin to layer like shingles two three deep, you need a pet or a less wasteful way to amuse yourself depending on the Brand in question.
Collecting 800 pound chuncks of cement worked for me, Until I was made aware rather abruptly that I lived on the second floor.
Or next time you are in a supermarket carry a 20 pound frozen turkey up to the check out and ask the person in front of you if they would mind trading you loavs of bread. Offer the turkey, like it was the most rational thing in the world. If they look too shocked for too long, how you get out of it is up to you.
If they actually trade you and take posession of the turkey tell them "But I need my turkey back."
Carry a notepad for the obvious reason that some people don't like turkey.
"You are the rudest #&*(##!! I have ever seen."
Yes but what was your first reaction when I said.. Scribble, Scribble, Hmmm. I see
Buy chocolate syrup, carmel, crushed almonds, the largest tub of cooking lard, KY jelly and a box of condoms. Bitch about the fit. Think about it and it works for both sexes.
