Give Me Screenplay Ideas...

[melon]

Just throw in random thoughts. I need to write one for a class, and I'm kinda at a loss right now, mostly because my other ideas are too controversial for a class.

The kinds of films I like:

1) surreal films with real world elements (i.e., like if JFK visited Dubya wearing a lobster bib and Warren Harding suddenly popped out of a closet during the middle of an affair)
2) dramas with love elements (i.e., Three Colours Trilogy)
3) fake documentaries
4) Kubrick-like films

Anyway, I really don't know what I want, and, likely, I won't use anyone's single idea here. A new, more cohesive idea will suddenly just pop up in reading the ideas.

And, just to answer the inevitable question:

Q. "Umm..what does this have to do with U2?"

A. Nothing. I'm posting this here, because it is a place with wide-exposure, and my time is limited. If you dislike this thread, then, please, ignore it. And if anyone gets tempted to ruin this thread on-purpose, I will not hesitate to report you to the mods and let them take care of you.

Sure I may sound a bit like an ass right now, but I take my work seriously. Heh...

Any ideas?

"He had lived through an age when men and women with energy and ruthlessness but without much ability or persistence excelled. And even though most of them had gone under, their ignorance had confused Roy, making him wonder whether the things he had striven to learn, and thought of as 'culture,' were irrelevant. Everything was supposed to be the same: commercials, Beethoven's late quartets, pop records, shopfronts, Freud, multi-coloured hair. Greatness, comparison, value, depth: gone, gone, gone. Anything could give some pleasure; he saw that. But not everything provided the sustenance of a deeper understanding." - Hanif Kureishi, Love in a Blue Time

Ok. I'm a big city suburban boy with many issues and false senses of security. I stand in my room. I play a country music song but look confident singing it. All the while, in each scene, a melon moves from the back of the take into the forefront at approximately 2 feet per second. Then when the camera cuts to another angle, the melon starts over again.
good luck!

All I know is that Whortense should be mixed in there somewhere.

[kobayashi]

read the passengers cd booklet for inspiration-some of them are pretty out there.
or just develop one of those into a full fledged screenplay.

either way your's is gonna have to compare with kramer's 'the keys' hehehehe.

------------------
Kobayashi's bizarre use of colour, superfast editing and extreme camera angles, coupled with a hilariously deadpan performance by Toshiro Takemitsu as the inspector who discovers a whole family of ghosts travelling without valid tickets, remains without peer.
