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.

Sounds intriguing...

Thanks, Chewtobacca!

Well that was fun.

What was fun, Sluggo?

Sorry, no dog.  I did used to have a beta fish named Alpha, though.

I don't know what is more shocking, the fact that this Pennsylvania Jones is not named after the cat or that someone made a sequel to The Secret of NIMH!?

For me, a sequel to Secret of NIMH isn't such a bad idea.  To me, the first one was over too quickly.  It's more the way the sequel was carried out that irks me.  Direct to video, a juvenile title (Timmy to the Rescue), song numbers left and right, an annoying caterpillar, and, for some reason, underwear.  They talk about wearing underwear, and they don't even wear any pants.  They all wear nothing but their fur from the waist-down.  If you don't think it's nonsense by that point, you were probably born around when the GOUT was released.

BTW, you've got a funny (read: humorous) name, Monolithium.  Kudos!

This made me laugh way too hard at work.
