Suggest movie plots that haven't been used yet.
Here's one - a group of people in NYC who attended university in the UK manufacture a collapse in the value of the pound sterling to avoid repaying their student loans at full value.

1. Guy asks for Blog to come up with suggestions...
...for movie plots that haven't been used yet. One of the people on the blog suggests a movie about a guy on a blog who asks the participants for some ideas about movie plots that haven't been seen yet. In the movie one of the bloggers suggests a horror story about a blogger who gets ideas on how to kill people from the blog he participates in and then acts out these horrible suggestions on the bloggers themselves. :scared:

2. Well, that was quick.
I was expecting a dozen or so posts before someone cottoned on to my heinous plan. I suppose this means that you have to die now.

5. "The Job"
The story of a man who goes to work for 8 hours. The 8 hours are condensed into 2...ok, 2 1/2 hours. You see the guy at work...working at his pc, answering the phone, etc.

It will drag in parts, of course. But it will be authentic cinema. It will put the "real" back in "realism"

7. I'm just waiting for surreality TV.
Like documentary-style footage of people obstensibly going about their daily business, then suddenly a hail of penguins falls on them.

15. How about documentary-style footage of people going to malls
and, instead of exchanging money for goods, they exchange ground beef? There'd be shots of people with greasy, moist pants pockets, and flies everywhere.

I'd watch that.

21. No, I'm saving Jim Carrey for my TV series about
straight young white people who have good jobs, nice apartments, and exchange tiny parcels of wit to each other concerning relationships.

The movie will star Al Jolson.

14. A comedic take on God going back on his promise to never bring about
the destruction of the Great Flood again...a modern Noah's ark type tale, beginning with:

Remember when God told us he would never unleash destruction like the Great Flood upon us again?


Cut to scenes of graffiti marked buildings, COPS, The Jerry Springer Show, riots after ball games

and then the words.

He lied...


:hi: It's an idea my brother has been kicking around for some time.

16. Pretty woman hit on head. Now only attracted to non-hunky guys.
Acquires fabulous social life due to plentiful male attention. Becomes amazingly happy. Friends note success, adopt same mindset. Meme spreads. Worlds standards of male attractiveness change Magazine covers of geeky guys at computers, pale guys swathed in sunscreen at beaches, etc...

Original woman recovers from head injury, notices cute guy who is AMAZINGLY grateful for the attention.

End.

Use it. No charge. Come back to me with cash if you want other ideas.
