Introducing... Pennsylvania Jones! — Page 2

Red Five, does that mean you liked Timmy to the Rescue?  If so, I'm okay with that.

I don't even know what Secret of the NIMH is, to be totally honest.

Red Five, you should give the first one a watch.  Skip the second one, though.

Duracell, yes, no love for the 2003 pilot.  I think the only reason I even like the movie is because that's what got me into Lost in Space in the first place.  Well, one of its computer games, anyway.  Besides, the Robots and Bruce Broughton's score are AWESOME!!!

Ziggy, yes, it was.  You never see anybody break out into a spontaneous song and dance number in Star Wars.  Even in Return of the Jedi Special Edition, Jabba asked for it.  In Timmy to the Rescue, there's a song number every five minutes.

Flying Dreams wasn't sung by any of the characters, nor was the scene it was in (Mrs. Brisby feeding Tim the medicine) a montage.  It was actually a song used as score, which works quite well in this case.

I'm a lifelong Star Wars Fan of the newer generation.  When I was young, I remember thinking the Prequel Trilogy was cool (not good, cool), and I never gave the Original Trilogy much thought.  Of course, that was until I found out that there was a DVD of Star Wars with two versions.  That got me interested in the Original Trilogy.

I was more drawn to the Original Theatrical version

Just to clarify, the pilot I speak of was for a new Lost in Space series that would have had no ties to the '98 film.

Yes, I know.  I was using the film as a point of comparison.  The general consensus is that the movie isn't as bad as the pilot.  It seems as if Lost in Space is spiraling down a black hole of bad quality media.

And I see you have already met the Chuck and animated .gif fan.  

...and girl.

'Sup, Twister?

Thanks, Sluggo!  And I appreciate you calling me "Penn," not "Penny."  I'm not a girl.

He's a big fan of Mystic River.

Sluggo said:

So are you from Penn, if you don't mind my asking?

 

Nope, Arizona.  But I lived in Pennsylvania once.

Ziggy Stardust said:

Yes, he writes scripts.

And no, Secret of Nimh 2 looks like Citizen Kane in comparison.

Hey! I can answer my own questions, thank you!

Pennsylvania Jones said:

First, are you a good scriptwriter? 

Well, I'm not terrible.

Second, do you think Secret of NIMH 2: Timmy to the Rescue is worse than the Prequel Trilogy?

Not by a long shot! It may be an awful film but it's got Eric Idle singing about being evil which is a plus. :)

Come to think of it... Do you think the prequels would've been better films if they had musical numbers in? Hmmm...

No, I think the Prequel Trilogy would be worse with musical numbers.  Especially of the kind featured in Timmy to the Rescue.

Second, the reason I asked if you wrote scripts (and indeed, one of the reasons I joined this site) is because I want to make a story for a Secret of NIMH 3.  In it, Timmy to the Rescue was merely a dream.  Timmy had it while he was delirious from pneumonia in the first film.  It will focus on a Mrs. Brisby who's as young as she was in the first film (This will be set no more than a year after the original NIMH).  It will also include things from the second and third Rats of NIMH books, like Isabella, Racso, Christopher, etc.  Martin is NOT going to be evil; in fact, in the books it states he managed to get a girlfriend named Breta.

Interested?  I'm going to start a thread in Scriptwriting if you want to help me write it.
