6 Main Characters
Cool guy
Paranoid guy
Eccentric guy
Schizo girl
Gothic girl
Retro girl
Cool guy:
Preferred Actor: Rohan Harry
Essentially cool (can’t tell if he is happy or angry [Actually, I don't
think Rohan is cool enough to play this character so cool, but he should play it
more vain, loserish, laughs at his own jokes, much more happier, etc]).
Similar to Captain Amazing (from Mystery Men), Jake Blues (from The Blues
Brothers), The Professor (from Gilligan’s Island), The Chief (from Get
Smart), Mary Poppins equivalent as a man (except cooler
for our time), Fonzie (from Happy Days), John Travolta (from Grease, Saturday
Night Fever), Ashton Kutcher!
Acts cool, ie. as if unpredictable things were predictable, etc
Therefore when he doesn’t act cool, like when he tells a joke, it is even more funny.
Deliberately annoys the paranoid person.
Could have an alter-ego (ordinary job is weeding a rhubarb patch)
ie. like Batman and Bruce Wayne
Could be a defendant in court, in which he must also prevent anyone from discovering his
alter-ego.
Thinks of things on the spot, eg. reasonable excuses to the police for illegal behaviour.
Is fairly vain, ie. Wears fashionable clothes even when pulling weeds,
comes in disguise to the supermarket. [WHAT?!]
Cool guy's mission in life:
To stop being such a putz - & - keep it real - cool is not necessarily good, it could
be mean ---> to be kind -> loving -----> to find out the real meaning of 'TRUE
love' - Dad/Jesus/God, yay!
Paranoid guy:
Preferred Actor: Nathan March
Essentially paranoid.
Not necessarily cool, but is strangely paranoid.
Similar to C3P0 (from Star Wars), but with a personality.
The thing(s) that he is paranoid about comes true at the end.
Continually being stressed by the cool person, etc, but is mostly a happy person
and is definitely an optimist.
Weed-puller at the Rhubarb farm/supermarket guy/Dropping Centre Manager/"Perfect
Match" Executive
Eventually gains some bravery.
Paranoid guy has to be more of a main character!!
Suggestions for things Paranoid guy should be paranoid about:
Spiders (after hearing that people eat (on average) 3
spiders a year in their sleep)
Whistles (scared he has that tin-whistle ear thing)
Giving babies chocolate (hates
how they get all messy/pretends he is really concerned with the
health of their teeth)
Getting sunburnt
The size of his feet (I don't get it either)
People touching his hands (worried about germs)
Eating seeds in his fruit (paranoid about internal
orchard-formation)
His kidneys (always drinks 8 glasses of water a day,
gets paranoid if he can't)
(Kidney disease- Albuminurophobia)
The sky (falling on his head, ie. the sky)
Not brushing his teeth everyday (cavities)
Someone else with unbrushed teeth (bad breath)
Peanut butter sticking to the roof of his mouth- Arachibutyrophobia
Driving (causing a fatal car accident, ahhh,
NOOOoooooo!!!!!!!)
Cool guy's driving (death)
Eccentric guy's car (it's just not normal/the bells
and whistles (see Whistles above))
Words, long- Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia or
Sesquipedalophobia.
Kites (the string from a kite falling on him after it has
gotten stuck in powerlines)
etc,...........
Refer to www.phobialist.com/
email me if you think of any more: [email protected]
Paranoid guy's mission in life:
To stop being paranoid - he doesn't trust God enough with anything ---> to be brave
---> & to put his life in God's hands.
You know what would make this movie really great? If Paranoid guy actually loved Gothic girl from the start and they could demonstrate what a beautiful relationship is all about!!!
Eccentric guy:
Preferred Actor: Derek Duke
Essentially happy and eccentric (like a mad scientist).
Similar to Groucho Marx, Weird Al Yankovic & The Cheshire Cat.
[No, this character should be kinder than this, to make the movie shine :)]
Preferred role: Check-out guy, guitarist in band.
Kind of disruptive to the Cool guy ...with his wisecracks, etc...
But still pays out Paranoid guy over his paranoias.
Bounces off/annoys sane people. Slips on socks (unnecessary since 'Spy Kids').
Says weird things like, "You're Panaroid! Panaroid? What kind of word is that?" [What the....!!!!!]
Is sweet and kind!! but he could
be the VILLAIN!!!!!!!!
If he steals the teleporter straight after the Function scene
what would he do with it during the movie. This could lead to very fun and interesting
plot developments. Yay, let's think of something that Eccentric guy would do if he had the
teleporter. Maybe he's not as eccentric as we think, and he stole it to steal things out
of banks, or to free Prisoners of War, or to get his mates out of the lunatic asylum???
Just think of the possibilities! (I should have thought of this before.)
[Nah, what should Eccentric guy's basic character and
life-story be instead of this? Also, I don't like him being disruptive anymore.
I don't even like him being over-the-top eccentric anymore, just mildly quirky,
yeah, that's much better, a slight quirkiness (now I have to call him 'Quirky
guy' :) )
Gentle, sweet guy, who helps people out/serves people without acknowledgement,
is funny on occasion in a gentle way.
I'd prefer this character to be concentrated on some project he's working on and
developing for the good of a large group of people. Now he can be a scientist
who needs to get into the Sciency-bum girl's world for a decent, worthwhile
reason (he needs to find out about the teleporter (or something Sciency-bum girl
has worked on in the past)). Now he doesn't even need to pursue her, she just
drops into his world and he can't avoid falling in love with her! Now he can
like her (and pursue her) because he admires her scientific work (or he needs to
get some information out of her).]
Eccentric guy's mission in life:
To stop rebelling against God, etc? - to stop annoying everyone ---> to face up to
something (whatever it is, his sin?), repent, and receive peace and happiness from God .
Schizophrenic girl:
Preferred Actress: Prue Young
Split personality (Jeckyll and Hyde): Vain/Scientist(bum).
Vain personality: "Vain" girl
Essentially self-absorbed, but cool.
Doesn’t like the Bum personality, because people (WHO?) tell her about what she does.
Mostly cares about herself.
Still works as a scientist in the laboratory, but she hates the work and can't understand
what her original self (Sciency-bum) was thinking.
(Hates her job because she ruins her
clothes/nails, it's a dirty job.
Doesn’t pay much attention to her work when she is "Vain" girl because she
hates it.)
Cannot stand to be wearing daggy clothes, etc.
Changes clothes at the drop of a hat, taking a ridiculously short time.
(Alters prison clothes using a sewing machine.) [Need to
include this.]
When changing into Sciency-bum girl she
unintentionally wipes off her makeup and messes her hair up. However, when changing into
Vain girl she takes off her glasses and swishes her hair (pantene style) and is suddenly
gorgeous and wearing makeup. [Prue can so totally
do this! She is so good for this part!]
Scientist personality: "Sciency-bum" girl
Essentially work-absorbed/absent-minded
Bum/Doesn’t know what’s going on.
Invents Transporter, a small pocket-sized device. Also a large (original) version
is demonstrated at a large Sciency function.
This device is used to transport her (and maybe her friends) out of jail.
Cares only for her studies/work.
Invented the potion that turned her into Jeckyll and Hyde a long time ago (perhaps this
scene should be at the beginning of the movie) and ever since then she has been able to
change to the vain personality whenever she smells a certain chemical (a normal, though
relatively uncommon odour-roses),
and back to the bum personality when she eats the antidote (pickled onions).
Schizo girl's (ie. Sciency-bum girl's) mission in life:
To want to help others for the right reasons, to love God, to know God, etc
- she wants to cure the world in her owwn strength and she can't do it.
Also, to be brave - disguises hide her from others.
Gothic girl:
Preferred Actress: Sunshine Gloria Boucher March
Essentially quiet/shy.
Sings sadly (not necessarily about sad things).
Plays heavy metal music on the organ at church.
Has a normal job: ? Weed-puller ? Supermarket check-out operator
Wears black clothes/heavy make-up/black boots.
Has worn heavy make-up since a baby (unexplained(?)), but been forced to wear normal
clothes as a child.
Gothic girl's mission in life:
To be patient - tries to make things happen quicker than God's timing.
Retro girl:
Preferred Actress: Pepita March
Wears clothes that are retro, ie. from many past eras.
Wears second-hand clothes from many eras, but in a coolish kind of
way.
Is eccentric (Yes!)
Similar to Gothic girl in personality.
Friend of Gothic girl
Is in the Dropping Centre band (plays drums?)
Meets the gang when she visits her friend, Gothic girl, at the Dropping Centre
Develops a friendship with Eccentric guy
Ends up with Eccentric guy in the end (through the "Perfect Match" gameshow?).
Retro girl's mission in life:
To stop being a rebel? (She changes clothes too often ---> hiding from God.)
Other Characters
Rhubarb farm boss:
Suggested actor: Roy Owen, David John Dyer
Laboratory staff:
Chris Holden, Hai Lam, Melissa Cellier, (David Dyer wants to be a
forensic scientist more than any other character).
Supermarket staff:
Suggested actors: Sunshine March, Derek Duke, Nathan March, Rohan Harry, Simon Lengyel, Steven Lengyel, Helen Lengyel, Leona Lengyel, etc
Wally:
In some scenes in the movie a character known as Wally is present although unconnected to
any main characters. Wally wears a horizontally red and white striped skivvy and beanie,
blue jeans, brown shoes, glasses, etc.
Suggested actor: Steven Lengyel
Dropping Centre youths:
Suggested actors: Steven Lengyel's friends
Members of the band:
Suggested actors/musicians: Simon Lengyel, Derek Duke, Sunshine
Boucher-March, Pip March, Tom Bland, Andrew John, etc???.
Perfect Match Hosts and contestants:
Suggested host: Samuel Jeyaseelan
Suggested contestants: Anyone we can get: eg. Julia, Susan, Russell, the Lengyels,
Catherine Owen, Athelstonians (eg. Luke Cellier, Marc Cellier, Madelleine), 'Marie
Clark Musical Theatre' actors, 'Sound-of-Music'ians, ), old people (from Kent Town Wesley
Uniting????? - Mr Brooker, Margaret, Jean, Dorothy Longmire???etc.
Perfect Match Schizo-girl-contestant fans:
Suggested actors: Tom Rees, heaps of Steven Lengyel's friends (?), Luke
Cellier, Marc Cellier, other guys, Russell (?) & friends.
Police/Government Tax Inspectors:
Suggested actors: Nick Hawkes, Michael Hand, Mr
Lynton Nicholas, Nicholas Kojevnikoff [ie. Mr Nick, Nick, Mick & Nick] (bizaRre
coincidence! or is it? Eyes audience knowingly.)
Inmates:
Suggested actors: Roy Owen, Trevor Owen, Steve Lengyel
Plot Suggestions/Ideas:
Air Instruments:
I would prefer 'air violin', but others might prefer 'air guitar', 'air drums', or
'air bass'. For the really peculiar we could go with 'air cello', 'air harp', 'air flute',
or 'air orchestra' [including cowbell, glockenspiel, maracas, oboe, tambourine, triangle,
trombone, trumpet, tuba, xylophone, etc], Helen to conduct.
Battle scene:
Who fights?
Eccentric guy, Cool guy and Paranoid guy fight over "Vain" girl
(Paranoid guy mostly just worries about their safety).
Should this happen when all three decide to go on "Perfect
Match" together, ie. rig their game show, so that Schizo girl can choose between the
three of them once and for all?
I suggest that in this episode of "Perfect Match" it should be a Fancy
Dress Special and the three guys should come as pirates, so they
can do some swashbuckling!!
Features Wally fencing with his cane.
I recommend the inclusion of the rest of the Male-Fans-of-Vain-Girl in this fight scene.
The old maxim, "The bigger, the better" would certainly apply here.
Character Suggestion:
Main two characters are weird (Eccentric guy) and cool. Secondary characters are
paranoid!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Yes, I still agree!!]
Crime:
Cool guy gets himself into trouble/is now a baddy(?).
(The team are on the run from the police.
They get caught.
They escape from prison easily, eg. transporter; the cool person has a plan which works
for everyone except "Sciency-bum girl" who escapes using the transporter (is
this a joke?))
Dancing:
Dancers:
Cool person
Vain girl & Scientist girl
Retro girl
Gothic girl
Eccentric person (background (?))
Paranoid person (background (?))
Most other characters
Places for Dancing:
The Rhubarb farm (opening number)
The Function
Laboratory/?Warehouse
The Supermarket
The Drop-In (Dropping) Centre
Church
Prison/Police Station
The street (carpark?) eg. the one near Linear Park, Pittwater Ave)
Drawing
Gothic girl and Retro girl should be left with the task of designing and painting the
interior of The Dropping Centre. This gives them time to discuss their prospective
love-interests, show how they relate to each other, and a chance to sing and dance. Plus
this scene could be funny, ie. they could do a ton of painting/papier mache creatures,
etc, to make the place look like an enchanted jungle/forest incorporating furniture
into the design, eg, bunkbeds, chairs, tables, chests of drawers, OR it could look like a
little Beatrix Potter or Brambly Hedge cottage or an igloo on the inside.
[We should get Rachel to help us design and create this set. Get permission and
ideas from Melissa Cellier and other artistic Athelstonians.]
Driving
Cars, maybe Cool guy should have a really cool car.
And Eccentric guy could have a slightly eccentric car.
(Should Paranoid guy have a Volvo?)
Learning the street directory/Photocopying the entire street directory of the city and
sticking all the maps together on a wall/floor. Or; folding it into an A4 size and keeping
it in the car so that every time they are driving and don’t know the way they take
out the street directory map which is supposed to solve the problem of turning pages in
the normal street directory. Slapstick because cool guy can't see where he's driving when
Paranoid guy opens the map.
Eccentric stuff:
Chequered/stripey socks, weird-rimmed glasses, purple tie, drives an 'art
car'/car with bells and whistles, curly spike right on the top of his head,
keeps a pet turtle/green tree frog/guinea pig/mouse.
Food:
Sciency-bum girl could order corn-on-the-cob for dinner at a fancy restaurant and putz
juice onto Cool guy accidentally.
Game show mania:
(The female presenters are BarbiesTM.)[Nah]
"Perfect Match" fanatics (guys) try to get on the show to get a date with the
mystery girl, Schizo girl who is always showing up on the show under a different name and
in disguise (to the audience, not the prospective date, of course).
Wally should be in the audience and the TV voice guy should say "Where's Wally,
you've got 30 seconds left, ..." and the camera should swing around looking for Wally
until someone yells out, "There he is!" Camera zooms in on Wally.
Games:
Pool: a running gag could be that some of the Dropping Centre gang always hit the balls so
that they make the balls jump off the pool table. (Alternatively, they always pot the
white/black.) ie. whenever the other 'sensible' characters look around.
Jobs:
Paranoid and Cool guy and Gothic girl originally pull weeds on the rhubarb farm
Paranoid and Cool guy get jobs at the Supermarket at Gothic girl’s recommendation
They meet Eccentric guy there.
Paranoid guy decides to start his own business
--> He starts the Dropping Centre.
Gothic girl works as the sales assistant.
Eccentric guy also works there.
Locations:
Chemical Factories. Coal Mines. Ice Skating. Train stations. Chemist. Supermarket. Rhubarb
farm. Palace Ramada
Love Interests:
Cool person firstly loves no-one, but falls in love with Vain girl, and sings a song with
Retro girl, but ends up with Sciency-bum girl.
Schizo (Vain) girl mostly loves no-one, but loves the attention, she actually loves
Eccentric guy.
Schizo (Scientist/Bum) girl loves the Cool guy, and then doesn't, and then loves Eccentric
guy, then loves Cool guy.
Paranoid guy likes the "mystery" girl (ie. Schizo-Vain girl), but later realises
he loves Gothic girl.
Gothic girl loves Paranoid guy.
Eccentric guy likes the "mystery" girl (actually only Sciency-bum girl) too
--> leads to duel with Cool guy and Paranoid guy at "Perfect Match", but then
loves Retro girl
Retro girl initially likes Eccentric guy, then likes Cool guy and sings a song with him,
and finally ends up with Eccentric guy.
Miracles:
Things happen easily for the Cool guy.
Things never could happen so easily/quickly for the paranoid person .
Things happen when the main characters have faith, and then they happen immediately, and
even better than anyone expected (gives hope).
Most of the characters could be excellent at
pool/snooker/darts/shooting/archery/chess/monopoly/scrabble, etc.
I need to totally change this whole script!
Multi-ended:
Alternative endings are shown.
Music:
Singing:
Singers:
Paranoid guy
Vain girl & Scientist girl
Cool guy
Cabaret guy
Music Idea:
Paranoid guy should fall in love with Schizo-Vain girl and sing about it, eg
"Haven't Stopped Dancing Yet" - Gonzales, or this song could be used as a
background over something else.
Cool guy should do something like this too about Schizo-Vain girl, these two
guys could probably do this song (and dance) about it at the same time. Music:
"Sweetest Thing" - U2, or ????
Music Incorporation:
Eccentric guy could be inspired to go to The Dropping Centre where he meets Gothic girl
(sales-chick) and they start a band with other youths who hang out in The Dropping Centre.
Gothic girl sings, Eccentric guy plays guitar.
See bottom of page for Music - List of Songs thought
useful/appropriate/good........
Narrator:
This movie neeeeeds one!! In best story-telling fashion.
Perfect Match Dates:
Schizo-Sciency-Bum girl’s first date is a disaster. The guy she chooses brings roses
which she sniffs and is converted to "Vain" girl so she doesn’t fall in
love with her date when she meets him.
Her second date that is shown is with Eccentric guy. She again sniffs the odour and Eccentric guy thinks that she has suddenly changed her character and is now too conceited, so he doesn't like her.
Etc, etc
Her last date shown is with the Cool guy. Cool guy doesn’t know why she is acting so weird/dorky, because she changes from "Vain" girl to "Sciency-bum" girl and back all the time. He thinks he should stop loving her(!), or does he?
Script ideas:
Everyone asks Paranoid guy, "Why don’t you take the lift?"
Paranoid guy answers, "The maximum limit is 36 people."
Have the Paranoid guy walking up stairs instead of taking the lifts all the time because
he’s afraid of the cable snapping.
(One time, a huge object falls down the stairs and flattens him (slapstick).)
Or
(At the end of the movie Paranoid guy takes the lift and the cable snaps.)
Nah!!
Slapstick comedy:
Slipping on socks, street directory, elevator thing.
Teleporter:
Science-fiction, robot, technology, science.
Things Cool person should do in the movie:
Cool person sounds arrogant/lazy/greedy.
He should be less like Captain Amazing and more like Jake Blues.
He should do the things I want to do and never believe can happen, e.g. win at pool.
What does Cool person want to happen?: Get rich, do what he wants to do.
(Why would Cool person want to grow rhubarb?)
BUT now he's a Christian, he should start living like one!! Becomes an evangelist!!!!!?
Things Eccentric guy should do in the movie:
Do/say eccentric things.?????? Eccentric person is very 'Alan Cummings'.<-- This type
of humour. (But kinder)
Play the guitar in the band.
Beat Cool guy at some games, which would really annoy Cool guy.
Go for an interview for a job (Check-out guy) at the Dropping Centre, during which Cool
guy and Paranoid guy interview him.
Make friends with Cool guy and talk about sciency stuff with him.
Invent the antidote to the Jeckyll & Hyde potion.
Meet 'Eccentric guy's girl' - Retro girl!!!!!!!! during the movie and become friends
during the movie, and then fall in love with her by the end. This means Eccentric guy has
to be sweet and kind.
Actually, now he's going to fall in love with Sciency-bum girl first!!!!!
Things Gothic girl should do in the movie:
Play music/sing in the band.
Have some kind of interaction between her, esp. Paranoid guy, and the other characters.
She could meet/talk to Schizo girl in a scene with no other major characters!
Her friend should be Eccentric guy's girl, Retro girl.
Maybe at the end she should sing, "Best of My Love" by The Emotions to
Paranoid guy.
Things Retro girl should do in the movie:
Play music/sing in the band.
Wear Retro clothes,
eg. from many different eras.
Have someone ask her, "What are you wearing?"
Warning sign:
Eg. like the 'Slippery floor' sign, or the 'Authorised Persons Only' sign at work.
Ie. make up a new one, to be used in the Laboratory. The idea is: it has to be funny.
Weddings:
There should be a wedding scene, featuring a bride in a bridal gown
running in some unusual/unexpected place.
Should the bride appear when Cool guy says something to Schizo girl about something
ironically relevant?
Wordplay:
Paranoid guy should invent a game (called 'Monosyllabic', ie. emphasis on
'la'(?)) that he always tries to make other people play with him, especially Cool guy (who
hates the game although he's really good at it) and Eccentric guy (more funny (ha ha) when
he plays back(!), ie. choice of words is more creative). But whenever Paranoid guy tries
to say a sentence he always stuffs up the final word. That is, he says a
word with more than one syllable, plus he says the whole sentence in a staccato fashion,
breaking between every syllable.
How to play: 1. Every word must have only one syllable per word.
2. Grammar must still
be correct.
Variations: Every line must rhyme.
Simon’s ideas
Why not just have two weird main stars and one paranoid guy joins up because they are actually doing something together. Or: One main star that is paranoid (normal person) joins up with a carefree (weird person). The girls could be love interests.
Deliberately annoys the paranoid person.
That is funny, especially when the paranoid person is offended (but does nothing about it
or can’t do anything about it, e.g. sharing house with Cool person).
One of the miracles is that the scientist has a teleporter. I don’t actually think that she should be a Bum, just wear lab coats a lot. [Same thing.]
Now I don’t know if the Vain person should just be a twin to the Scientist person. It just sounds too weird about those drugs and all…
A dumb character should say "I beg pardon?" when someone is explaining what he/she has to do.
Doesn’t keep accurate records in court, types whatever
she feels like (slightly mad)).
What the? I think she shouldn’t be mad, just bimboish.
Essentially work-absorbed/absent-minded
Just work-absorbed, not absent-minded, but is more interested in her work than what’s
going on. Maybe the weird person is the scientist, otherwise: too many characters. [No way, there aren't enough
characters!!]
Wally wears a horizontally red and white striped skivvy and
beanie, blue jeans, brown shoes, glasses, etc.
I thought he wore a jumper!
Wally could even be one of the inmates; "Insert joke here". E.g. "I was put in jail for… isn’t that great!". Wally could escape from jail by using his walking stick. [Good idea]
Most of the characters could be excellent at
pool/snooker/darts/shooting/archery/chess/monopoly/scrabble, etc.
Great idea! Hmm, sounds like "BaseketBall" - Good at shooting, not good at
running.
I don’t really think that there should be a court scene, it sounds too much like Marx Brothers movies, "Rocky & Bullwinkle - The Movie", etc.
I don’t like having characters in the movie just running away all the time. There MUST be a villain in the movie.
Not sure about them working in a Rhubarb farm…, but I believe that Cool person would want to get a life. Here is another possibility: they work on a hardware/‘great ideas’ show.
Scientist girl "Oh, I’m my usual self,… Hyde
(?)."); built a transporter/teleporter (pocket-sized.)
I think that she should say that to Cool person and he shrugs it off. (emotionless)
They should NEVER split up at the end.
I think this movie should have a lot of background jokes, i.e. funny things happening in the background, while nothing funny is happening in the foreground. E.g. slapstick humour.
Elaborate dance scenes, i.e., like in
"BaseketBall", where an American Football player makes a touch down and does the
dance where he crosses his legs together. After that, his fellow teammates join in can-can
style and do an Irish jig. Also, they dance with their arms, circling around each other.
Wichettee Grubs (said in a special French food way)
Santa Claus' resume on a Christmas card & red envelope
Or have Santa Claus going for an interview at the Dropping Centre, featuring his resume.
Have this song: "Ottawan - Hands Up (Give Me Your Love)" because it's so gay
Have this song: "Roy Orbison - Sweet Dreams Baby"
Have a character called:
Richard Lewcraft
Mary Seisborg
Have this saying: "It's sleazy, it's gross, I
don't like it" - (Invented by itsnoteasybeingagreen1)
Have this saying: "Hey! It's not a pot-roast." - (Invented
by itsnoteasybeingagreen1)
Have this saying: "Pootsie, pootsie, pootsie." (or:
"Putsie, putsie, putsie.")
Howzabout if The Movie were set 1 year after Jesus' resurrection. OR maybe for another movie.
Simon's dream: There were these 2 guys, right? One guy is standing behind another and is wiping another guy. Then he angrily whips him with the towel.
Maybe we should have a parody of a famous movie as
part of a dream, eg. 'The Matrix'. Nah, we shouldn't have any parodies, we should make it
all original, and stop copying, 'The Matrix'.
Leoncipop's Responses to Simon's ideas
Maybe the two friends (guys) at the beginning should be Eccentric guy and Paranoid guy!!!!
-Yes, I like this
Then Cool guy can be the VILLAIN!!!!!, but still be the main character.
-Much better scenario [Uh,... maybe not][No,
actually I like it.]
(Now we have to work out a plot for Cool guy's life up to, and after Cool guy meets up
with Eccentric and Paranoid guys.
Thoughts: Cool guy has tried to get a good education in the
accounting/economics area in order to get a decent job juggling money, ie. in
the business world.)
Now 'Vain'-girl and Cool guy can relate better to each other.
But now Sciency-bum-girl would like Cool guy less, because he is a lousy creep.
I just realised I have no idea what Cool guy and Paranoid guy should talk about at the
Rhubarb farm at the beginning. Maybe what they are passionate about. Maybe I should start
writing the script from back to front. P.S. I recently realised that when I'm all mixed up
I'm alone and when I'm turned around I'm a song! Or maybe I should do the StoryBoard
first, since I can see pictures in my head of what is happening, although I can barely
hear anything. Then you can fill in the speech bubbles :). P.S. #2 Thankyou for the Alice
in Wonderland gameboy game. I shall endeavour to play it now.
About the setting of The Movie for 1 year after Jesus' resurrection:
I'm not sure that would work, considering there is a Perfect Match game show as an
important part of the movie.
Leona's dream: There were these 2 guys who were
blonde and were brothers. One of the brothers (who was older and was shorter) had only
recently been returned to the family after he had been lost when very young and had been
living somewhere else for most of his life. The younger brother was really nice. And the
older brother liked his younger brother for being so welcoming. They were wearing suits or
tuxedos. Some of the dream seems to have some chess element to it, ie. checkerboard floor
or glass room(?). The lost brother's family was really rich, that's why I remembered that
the younger brother must have been really kind, because his elder brother, the heir
returned and he wasn't bitter about missing out on a large slab of his father's fortune. I
can't remember who else was in it, except that at the end of the dream we were watching
old family home videos and the rest of our real family was in it. The younger brother
reminded me of a guy I knew in High School called Travis Elsdon(?), but he had more hair.
The older brother looked more like a clean cut moviestar guy, like a blonde, young Tom
Cruise, only more beautiful.
Question mark: How did Eccentric guy, Cool guy and Paranoid guy meet?
I believe in a boring way, eg. Paranoid
guy met Eccentric guy while he was serving him at the supermarket, then he got
to know him through being a regular and so when Cool guy goes to the supermarket
with him, Paranoid guy introduces Cool guy to him. (smile)

Africa (Toto)
Ain't No Mountain High Enough (Marvin Gaye)
