if you had to make a movie

if you had to make a movie, what would it be about? in my class for humanities, we have to make a 15-25 minute-long movie, and i am totally new to this. it's our semester exam grade. it has to fit a certain genre. i was thinking something clever. memento and the ring... or amelie are good examples of movies that are not your typical cliche. but those will be hard to come up with. so give me your opinions! haha. it'd help. =)

Those are cliche.

Go with something completely and utterly off the wall.

haha, if your teachers a guy, you will ace the class with that idea (well, if it's good, eh?). Hmmmm......well, it's always funny to make a movie of like you and your friends (playing different people you know or yourselves) just messing around campus and in class, having a friend do a funny impression of one of your teachers, something funny if you get what i'm saying. otherwise........I dunno what you could do, up to you really. Any kind of genre imparticular you want to sort of fit into?

just take something in your everyday life, and give it a sci-fi twist. we're about to make a movie about two kids who want to make a movie, and the plot becomes real life. (dont steal that though) just find something normal, and scare people with the possibilities of what it could turn out to be. keep your audience laughing and always on the brink of wetting themselves, and there is no way that you can get a bad grade.


the shortest six miles of my life
end faster than i would have liked

I saw the worst movie I have ever seen last night. Dreamcatcher. It was supposed to be scary. My friends and I were in hysterics at the poor attemps of scaryness all the way through. Don't ask me what it was about, I drifted in and out of watching it the whole way through. You know a movie is crap when you already hate it after 5 minutes.

Do a Pulp Fiction Comedy !

Like Samuel L. Jackson is really shot in the room. Or John Travolta isn?t on toilet and shooting Bruce Willis when he arrives at home.

If you can get the actors tell me.

Other idea: Do a Basic Instinct Chainsaw Massacre Movie.

So long

It's a movie based on a Stephen King books. Movie versions of his books are never even remotely good. EDIT: Except for The Shining, which, I've been told, was different from the book, but superb nonetheless.

I recommend all of his books, however, if you can handle reading them.

?

sorry i'm not into grocerystore fiction. you like tom clancy and danielle steele and nora roberts too?

No, I don't like Tom Clancy, Danielle Steele, or Nora Roberts.

Have you read a single work of Stephen King? I used to scoff, think "Psssh, Stephen King, that ******* doesn't even deserve the time I spend merely considering to read one of his books," and then I sat down and read one. And then another. He has to have one of the most remarkable imaginations of our time or any other, and while his writing style isn't academic and technical, he's able to say a lot in an interesting way. From believable, real characters to stories that engross the reader, he is behind only Tolkien as my favorite author.

Keep the term "grocery store" fiction to romance novelists and not one of the most prolific writers of our time.

well stephen king IS a grocery store novelist.

all i'm saying. his books are sold in supermarkets...

speaking about books. has anyone read perks of being a wallflower? i just bought it and everyone said it's awesome. one of those... read and contemplate life books. erm. haha.

zombie films are all the rage right now.
just a couple of weeks ago me and my friends made one
it was AAAAMAAAAZING.

You say it as if that makes him a piece of ****. I've seen copies of LOTR in supermarkets recently. It doesn't take anything away from the books. There's a reason that a man sells more than 40 million books, and it can't be mass stupidity, because the mass populace also has a very short attention span.

Stephen King is a vocal HArry Potter fan so he's cool in my book.

danielle steel sells millions of books too... but then again those types of things aren't exactly my bag.

a zombie film, eh? you know what's scary? vampires.

What is Stephen King's type of thing?

What is YOUR type of thing?

stephen king rocks. and yes, movies based on his books rarely ever do them just.

exceptions:

the shining
the shawshank redemption
it (some people may hate it, but i've always enjoyed it)

i'd personally like to make a movie based on his story "the long walk" that he wrote under the alias richard bachman... and i'd stay loyal to the book. it was very well-written.
