Number 4: Deep Breath In And...

Deep breath out. I was going to go into a long, hate-filled rant about how the world is filled with pompous, insensitive, egotistical scum, but I already wrote something slightly upsetting yesterday. I figured that if I just turned the blog into a pity party nobody would ever read it, and that's true. So I guess I'll just get this out of the way right now, really quick:

Just because you play football, just because you shop at Abercrombie & Fitch, and just because you can slide by classes by being "funny" and a wise ass doesn't make you any better than anyone else.

Now, onto the not-rant.

I want to write a script and make a movie really badly right now. Like, really really badly. And it was all because of the line that I saw in my favorite Internet show, Yu-gi-Oh! The Abridged Series. Thank you, LittleKuriboh, for making such a wonderfully hilarious conglomeration of children's card games and pop culture references. It's in this one episode that I heard a conversation that went like this:

Tristan
I've been thinking, I don't know about you two, but I'm not happy being just a minor character. All we do is stand in the background and watch people play card games. It's time we took matters into our own hands and made names for ourselves as main characters.

Tea
That's dangerous talk, Tristan. We can't risk upsetting the natural order, who knows what could happen.

Tristan
I don't care. All I know is that we deserve to have our very own episode, and while the main characters are asleep, we're going to have an adventure. It'll be just like The Goonies!

Bakura
Can I be Corey Feldman?

Tristan
No. I'm Corey Feldman.

Bakura
But you're always Corey Feldman! When do I get to be Corey Feldman?

Tristan
Shut up! From now on your name is Chunk.

Tea
Can I be River Phoenix?

Tristan
River Phoenix wasn't in The Goonies.

Tea
He wasn't? Then which was the movie where they all went to find a dead body?

Tristan
...that's Stand by Me.

Tea
Oh...hey guys, can we go find a dead body?

Tristan
That sounds like an adventure to me!

I remember watching that scene and thinking, "That was so incredibly awesome," and then thinking, "That would be a great opening to a movie." So now, for some reason, I seem to want to do a movie on it. I really don't care what, where, or when the movie is, as long as it has that scene somewhere in there I want to do it. Seriously.

If anyone has any ideas, let me know. I'll be thinking about it for a while, and if I come up with any ideas I'll post them here.

Oh, and for those who want it, here's a YouTube link to the episode itself.
