Here is a list of films that I, personally, will create when/if I become a big-name director some day.


Title

Are You Afraid of the Dark?

Synopsis

Basically, this will be to the old horror series Are You Afraid of the Dark? what Twilight Zone: The Movie was to the Twilight Zone - remade episodes placed together in one film, with the odd new story thrown in to spice things up.

Title

The Babysitter Trilogy

Synopsis

Adaptations of the first three books in The Babysitter series by R. L. Stine.

Title

Backwoods

Synopsis

While on a road trip, Drianna Lockhardt and her three friends accidentally pass through a rip in the fabric of spacetime and find themselves taking a detour into the Backwoods, a labyrinthine universe of empty roads and impenetrable forests inhabited by murderous chainsaw-weilding werewolves.

Title

Black Fire

Synopsis

An adaptation of the novel of the same name written by James Kidman.

Title

Blue Harvest

Synopsis

Several thousand years ago, the last remnant of a prehuman species was exterminated by pre-Clovian human invaders from the Old World under the light of a blue moon. For every thousand years since that event, the spirits of those creatures rise up from their unholy resting places far beneath the earth to claim all the human souls they find living on their ancient home ground.

Title

The Cathedral

Synopsis

After the altar in an old cathedral is damaged during a maintenance job, a dark spirit trapped within the building's stone walls awakens and begins to haunt the dreams of the parishioners, driving them to insanity and paving the way for the coming of the alien Elder Gods.

Title

Dark Whispers

Synopsis

Reluctant medium Meredith Hornton moves into her aunt's old home following a bitter divorce, where she discovers that the old decaying mansion across the street is haunted by the ghosts of an evil cult that committed mass suicide back in the 40's.

Title

Genesis

Synopsis

A literal, word-for-word adaptation of the Book of Genesis (with all the pre-scientific cosmology, discrepancies, inaccuracies, and R-rated material kept fully intact).

Title

The Gospel

Synopsis

An adaptation of all four canonical Gospels woven together into one complete narrative.

Title

A Nightmare on 34th Street

Synopsis

When incorrigibly rotten kids get placed on Santa's Bad List, his evil twin brother rides on his zombie reindeer-driven snowmobile to collect them and bring them back with him to the South Pole, where they are genetically modified into elves and placed into slave labour serving the Claus family.

Title

Poltergeist: The Other Generation

Synopsis

A sequel to the original Poltergeist which completely ignores Poltergeist 2 & 3. Carol Anne, now a full-grown married woman with kids of her own, moves into an old Victorian mansion haunted by the ghosts of a former owner's murdered victims.

Title

Revelation

Synopsis

A literal, word-for-word adaptation of the Book of Revelation.

Title

The Stargate Trilogy

Synopsis

A remake of the original Stargate film along with two sequels inspired by the tie-in novels Stargate: Rebellion, Stargate: Retaliation, and Stargate: Retribution by Bill McCay.

Title

The Wrath

Synopsis

In the spring of 1992 - two years following the brutal, near-fatal beating of seventeen-year-old Jeremy Spokane by a gang of masked hoodlums - nineteen-year-old Julissa Hendricks finds herself - and a number of people closely connected to her - targeted by this very same gang for death.

ROTJ is the best Star Wars film... discuss!
Time

ROTJ is largely uninspired and lazy, but the stuff with Luke, Vader and Palpatine is good. Also, this was the first Star Wars film to introduce lightsaber colours beyond blue and red, so I'll always love it for that (the comics had already done that years before, though, so new ground wasn't actually broken in this regard I suppose).

When universes collide!

And Erin Gray is still a major space babe in my book. ;)


She's not in character, so unless one of the universes of which you speak is our own mundane continuum, you're completely off the mark.

Last movie seen
Time

Beyond Evil (1980)

John Saxon and Lynda Day George were good, and the story was - overall - decent; it's the poor direction that brings this movie down.

Altered States (1980)

I wanted to like this movie - I really did. But after a promising beginning, it just devolves into a nihilistic disappointment.

Phantasm IV: Oblivion (1998)

Having seen all four films, I can now say this about the series: the writer/director obviously doesn't have a story to tell, is making it up as he goes along, and that the only way to make the series work is if everything that happens film-to-film is all just part of a great, big, hallucinogenic delusion of the main character's.

Lisa and the Devil (1974)

Good movie, but the ending doesn't make much sense to me. Telly Savalas was awesome as Leandro/the Devil.

Tonya & Nancy: The Inside Story (1994)

I had no knowledge of the whole Tonya Harding/Nancy Kerrigan fiasco before going into this movie, so I had no interest in the plot whatsoever - I only watched it for Heather Langenkamp. She was no saving grace, however; her performance in this sucked - badly.

Speaking of which, what the hell was Luke's plan for rescuing Han? As much as I love ROTJ, I've never been able to make any sense of the plan.


Here is how I see it. First he sent Lando to infiltrate and get familiar with Jabba's habits. He found out that Jabba care about his rancor and that his worst punishment is throwing people into Sarlacc pit. So Killing his rancor would ensure "Sarlacc". Luke knew he couldn't defeat all the thugs and bounty hunters packed together in Jabba's palace so he intended to confine them to the sail barge through "Sarlacc punishment". In order to guarantee Solo will be part of the punishment, Luke sent Leia and Cheewie to melt him out of the carbon. He knew he would be stripped of his lightsabre after killing rancor therefore he hid it into R2 so he was able to use it at the Sarlacc pit.

Yes I know this plan could be ruined by a single flaw but still... that is the only reasonable way I can think of.


I understood it this way. Now initially, Lando was sent undercover for reconnaissance. How long he'd been there? Who knows? Now this left Leia, Chewie and the droids. Leia concocts her plan to disguise herself as a BH with the wookie as her captive. And remember, Luke isn't around at this point. So what are they supposed to do? Hang around til he turns up with a plan? They've got to try something. Leia fails which leaves the droids. Luke turns up and gets the SP from the droids of what's been going on and that no one has returned. So Luke devises a plan to send the droids ahead with a message from himself prior to his arrival. Now Jabba being the infamous gangster he is, Luke knows full well his offer will be spurned. So giving R2 the lightsabre is back up. Luke now has full control over his powers and his sabre is a last resort. IF he gets captured lke the others, Jabba will not be in possession of his lightsabre. No one knew how it was going to pan out? That's ridiculous. It was a risk which had to be taken. 


I think you're making it more complicated than it needs to be. Through the Force, Luke saw the future. He saw how everything was going to go down, and sent in everyone as his vision dictated. The only thing that he was unsure of was how Jabba would react to his offer, as Jabba is the only being there who can thwart Luke's power. When Jabba sentences them to the Sarlacc, you can see Luke nodding as if remembering his vision. At this point, he knows that nothing will prevent Jabba's death, as he is simply acting out his vision of the future as seen through the Force. The fact that everything works out in the end simply means that Luke trusts the Force.


That makes things boring, IMO.

Song Parody Thread (Was &quot;I Cut Myself&quot;)
Time

You love yourself, I want you to leave me
When you knock me down, I want you six feet beneath me
I scratch myself, I want you to free me
I gore myself, I want you ripped from me

I don’t want you or anybody else
When I think about you, I cut myself
Ooh, I don’t want you or anybody else
On no, oh no, oh no

You’re the one who sets the blood running
You’re the scum who reveals the bone’s shine
When you’re around, I’m always slashing
I want you to step on a landmine

I gouge out my eyes when I see you before me
I would die just for you to ignore me
A fool could see just how much I abhor you
I have my needs, that doesn’t include you

I don’t want you or anybody else
When I think about you, I cut myself
Ooh, I don’t want you or anybody else
On no, oh no, oh no

You love yourself, I want you to leave me
When you knock me down, I want you six feet beneath me
I scratch myself, I want you to free me
I gore myself, I want you ripped from me

I don’t want you or anybody else
When I think about you, I cut myself
Ooh, I don’t want you or anybody else
On no, oh no, oh no

I hate you
I don’t want you or anybody else
And when I think about you, I cut myself
OW OW OW-OW OWWWWW

I don’t want you or anybody else
When I think about you, I cut myself
I cut myself
I honestly do
I cut myself
