I know, Remember those sex-education movies that were filmed in the 60′s but schools kept showing them to students until the 80′s. They were hillarious (I thought so). They should just re-release one of those on the big-screen. It would be an instant comedy classic…

Ofcourse, someone in Hollywood will read my post, steal my idea and just film re-make as a sex-ed mockumentary starring Seth Rogen.

[...] it was announced that a movie was being made about bubblegum, I thought I’d heard it all. Then comes this latest news about action legend Jean-Claude Van [...]

I’m so totally flabbergasted by this news that I can’t even think of anything clever to say.

The only way that Hollywood is going to learn is when people stop seeing crap like this.

i want to see a movie about the life of a gecko….. no talking no acting just a gecko. in a tank. with cammera running all the time. it will be a two hour movie. they will name it geico. it will never speak but what it thinks will apper as subtiles.
the budjet is 500,000

they are consideirng casting a random goldfish

they plan to make billions with the heart warming “tail” of a gecko.

it will be better than all the stupid game movies…

“We Make Holes in Teeth” That’s for those of you who are old enough to remember who said that. I refrain from mentioning who as Hollywood may hear and want to use them as the villains in their next summer blockbuster (what every Summer movie is called) Listerine: The Movie.

I would argue your point that movies made from advertisements are impossible, personally.
Good movies can come from surprising sources. When I heard they were making a movie based on a themepark ride, I laughed out loud, but swallowed that laughter after seeing the movie.

That aside, this is still a tremendously dumb idea.

@sito

Actually, remember they tried to make a sitcom about the Geico cavemen already.

“Hey kid, you know that spec script you slaved over being circulated around town? Yeah, we might think about fast tracking it but in the meantime, how’d you like to pen a Bazooka friggin Joe movie?”

Though as I’ve said many times, I never dismiss any idea outright as unflimable or unable to make something at least watchable out of, but not all ideas are made equal, and some require a singular talent to see beyond the superficial “what the heck” factor to find the gold in that mountain of skepticism.

As a counterpoint, other films’ concepts are so rock solid, you’d have to be actively trying to create a train wreck to make it unwatchable. Monsters vs. Aliens, for all it’s faults, at least held my attention for the duration of the film.

However, given Eisner’s history and the generally unknown talent involved, I would say the final result is about as likely to achieve that rare alchemy as Paris Hilton is to receive an Oscar for best Actress.

Are you f@#$%^& s@#$%^&* me ?!?!? Have they actually made every possible movie idea?

I’m going to get started on a screenplay about a romance between Little Debbie and Sailor Jack.

Re a film about the Geico gecko. They made television shows about Max Headroom and Geico cavemen. Your idea is not so farfetched.

Ah HA, Paul you just found out the story of Bazooka Joe! It will be a coming of age/high action-adventure in 3D where Bazooka Joe saves his small town from invaders and thus we will all learn how Joe got his Eye-Patch and thus be called Bazooka Joe!
That is the story arc, how Joe got his eye-patch, we will all know! Just like how we now know how John Connor got his scar!

Why is the kid wearing an eye patch? Is he a pirate or did he lose it in a bad acident? I think Hammer should pursue both of those ideas for his story.

Ok, guys, I think you all will need lawyers to figure out just how much money you will get from Hollywood for these ideas they will be stealing. Since these movies will make about 20 bucks, you should sue for about $5, with attorney’s fees being $2,000.

Oh man. Hollywood is running out of original thinking. What’s next, a Mountain Dew movie? Better yet, Tampax, the touching story of a woman and her menstruation companion. Ugh.

@Matt
Now you’re doing it. Stop giving Hollywood ideas!
