Give us a pitch for a movie based on our beloved community.

Who's the lead character in your hypothetical movie? Is it an ensemble film? Will it be a murder mystery? A historical epic? An ambitious CGI laden scifi behemoth?

Don't forget to give cast and director suggestions. Don't forget the title!

@tsarstepan,
I'd imagine some where in the movie David would shoot some one else.

I could see Gus killing someone from A2k as some one else worried about him, goes into his swamp to check on him. Gus jumps from behind some shrub and impales them with his pitchfork.

Give me some time I could come up with some other things.

@Linkat,
Gus could be the patriarch of a murderous family (like Texas Chainsaw Massacre).

@tsarstepan,
I think it starts with Hawk on the run from a bogus rape allegation. Wayne swings by the in the Mustang and they set off for NY where David has just completed a meeting of his dinner group with special guest DSK. At the same time, Sozlet and mom are leaving Ohio for a school trip to NY to see the site of the 911 memorial where Bear's tribute band will be doing an 80's rock tribute.

@tsarstepan,
My movies stars edgarblythe, Joe Nation, and Gargamel. They're on a cross country road trip. As they drive they play a game -- one that me and a few friends used to play -- where they pick out a stranger and make up the person's life story, not just the major events but the little everyday quirks and routines.

We'd see them in the car, they'd pick out a person -- one of us -- and make up their life and we'd see our lives as they imagine us to be. Each story's set would start off pretty sparse and grow more detailed as they imagined it in.

Gus himself has written the opening scene of such a movie on another thread:

gustavratzenhofer wrote:

The grinding wheel turns in its rapid fashion and sparks fill the air as the tines of a pitchfork, one by one, are pressed against the stone and honed to razor-sharp, dangerous looking points. Gustav turns the fork in his hand and examines the deadly points. In the background a rat scurries across the floor and disappears into hole in the wall.

"So, he survived." whispers Gustav as he reaches up and pull the chain on the single overhead bulb. The barn is plunged into darkness. A shuffling is heard. And then a raspy voice.....

"Not for long........ not for long."

Using WHAT?? With what ammunition?
Who is a good target??
The commies already went out of business, voluntarily, in 1991.

I'm thinking a 50' caliber Desert Eagle handgun? Sound reasonable enough? Wink

I don 't use automatics.

I 'm a revolver guy; that 's Nature's way.

Robert should be the shadowy character pulling all the strings that everyone else dances to.

The title could be "Chat Room". Can't decide on comedy or suspense type thriller.

@engineer,
How about a black comedy - that way we can put in all the pitchfork killing and all the David shooting.

As David escorts DSK from the restaurant, DSK spies a woman leaving the vicinity of the MTV Music Awards heading his way. DSK straightens his tie, a large smile growing on his face. "Ah Beyonce, so nice to see you!" David pushes him aside, drawing his revolver. "That's not Beyonce! That's Leona Banks!"

@engineer,
Dj could be Leona Banks personal hitman/bodyguard. He dives in front of the bullet to save Leona at the last second... in slow motion of course.

DJJD: "Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

@tsarstepan,
There have to be spaceships.

Evil mutant hamsters have arrived, bringing with them their overly cute pouchy cheeks of death and their squeaky torture wheels! No one is safe until Penny the hamster (Mitzi will be her stunt double) springs into action! Penny is, of course, a martial arts master (you gotta stay safe with all that traveling) and saves the day!

I can see product tie-ins already.
