Best...Movie...Ever

I don't know if anyone else has noticed, but there seems to be a great influx of disaster based movies permeating society these days. It could be a result of many-a-thing. Perhaps it's due to the fact that we're quickly bearing down on the predicted Mayan Apocalypse (I need to put a disclaimer regarding that phrase. I know it's far from an adequate way to describe what that whole Dec. 21, 2012 thing is, because had they really been smart, they would have been able to predict the end of their civilization. Just saying.). Maybe it's the day somebody will finally eat an entire cow by himself (Some of you politically correct fiends may be upset with how I genderized that term, but let's be honest, it'll be a dude). With that in mind, I had a GREAT idea for a movie. Once again, I'm being honest: it's gonna be HUGE.

So, let me set the stage: Manhattan (every good disaster movie happens in Manhattan....and I say "good" disaster movie, but I mean...well, they're never that good, but moving on...). The year is 2011. Without going into a whole lot of detail, some bad things happen. Meteors, tidal waves (a term I've never understood. If it's a wave related to tides, you'd think they'd be more common), Velociraptors eating everyone's dinner, Carl Marx returning from the grave. You get the picture: stuff's gonna 'splode. Anyway, people are dying left and right. Humanity's numbers are quickly dwindling, kind of like at the end of the Book of Ether. Bad. Ultimately, there are only a handful of people left and they are trapped in a building that's...I don't know....being consumed by molten lava, and then it fades to black. Yep, everyone died. At the end of the movie, the title of the movie will be replayed (as seems to be a common theme these days). Big, bold letters say: Everyone Dies. It fades to black. Wait for it.....wait for it.....wait for it....and then it comes back. There it says it: Everyone dies....and then a subtitle comes in and says: ...but one. And it shows a flash of a man who inexplicably survived the molten lava attack (attack?).

The reason why I think this is perfect is because it'll give everyone the destruction they want, and it also gives people the killing they want. On the opposite side, it gives people hope because someone survived, and it sets it up for a great sequel. It'll be called "The Last Man on Earth", kind of like I Am Legend. Except at the end of that movie, the subtitle will read "Died Too". So really everyone dies...it just takes two movies of nonsense to get it done.

Anyway, I think it'll work. I've also been given other ideas for movies by a dear friend of mine called "Explosion" where it just shows a guy running and explosions going off around him for two hours. Another idea (from the same friend) is called "in the dark," where a team of explorers find a very deep cave. Ten minutes into their journey into their cave, their lamps fail, and the rest of the movie is audio only. Yeah. Good ideas, I know.

<---Yep. Imagine staring at that for an hour and a half while only hearing a bunch of rustling and someone occasionally saying "What's that?" or "Did you hear that?" Winner.

Anywho, there's just another glimpse of the things I spend my time thinking about. Yeah, I think I need to get out more.
