I'm going to Hildale!
I have now received numerous comments regarding the lack of new reading material on my blog, so I have decided to give a new post a try. Here's my problem: I am currently (and by currently I mean since the last time I posted, a month and a half ago maybe) of the persuasion that I don't want to post anything unless it's delightfully funny and charming, but, I have not had any inspiration in that vein. I have had some laughs this summer, but overall, it's been busy and stressful, I think that hampers my humorous creativity. I could tell you a story I heard about a narcoleptic dog, or about my talent for being inappropriate during meeting for business, but those aren't really blog material.
What I think I will tell you is that Darcy and I have decided to write a screenplay. The idea started with the kittens that live at Darcy's house. They've just learned that they like going outside, and we had the great idea that we should film a music video of the song "A Whole New World" (yes, the song from Aladdin), in which we introduce the kittens to, well, a whole new world. Of course, we couldn't leave it at just a music video, thus, the screenplay idea was born. We have been inspired by the guys who wrote Harold and Kumar Go To White Castle, just a couple of guys who had a good idea for a movie. We're not that far along yet, we don't know what the movie will be about, but we do have some ideas for a few scenes. The following may, or may not, be inspired by real life occurences.
- We'll definitely put the music video in, but of course, we'll need new actors to play the roles of "Kittens", as the present kittens will be cats by the time we get to filming
- A main character will definitely be caught by her crush talking to a cement pillar. And when I say "talking to", I mean "hitting on", a la a more ebonics version of Joey Tribbiani's, "How you doin'?"
- We might as well throw the narcoleptic dog in, now that I think about it
- There will be a peripheral character that is considered a friend, but at the same time makes people uncomfortable, particularly when he/she hugs with his/her pelvis too close
- As it seems to be a theme in, um, "people's" lives of late, I think a bit of unrequited love, from a distance of countries and continents will be highlighted. After all, that's compelling and might be the source of the clip they show at the Oscars when the film is up for "Best Picture".
- Lastly, I'd like to describe another peripheral friend character. He is a pretty cool guy, good-looking and funny-looking simultaneously, a bit awkward at times and can be a little inappropriate, but despite these attributes, has an incredible inner confidence. He's the kind of guy who brings a handle of hard liquor to a wine party, and then unabashedly works on the handle all evening so that it doesn't go to waste. I'm thinking Vince Vaughn would be the actor to capture him sufficiently.
So, my creativity is waning, but luckily I have these great ideas written down here so that I don't forget them. We'll have a finished product soon, and I promise you'll all receive invitations to the premiere. It will be held in the little town of Hildale in southern Utah. Why Hildale you ask? Because, I respond, that place deserves to be put on the map for something more positive than a hotbed of Warren Jeffs' followers. I haven't actually been there, but I hear the scenery is delightful.
