Alright this week is crazy with work so let’s just see what comes off the top of my head for the most part. I’m listening to the song ‘Presence’ by The Men on repeat. All characters and events appearing in this work are fictitious. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, or any actual events is purely coincidental.

I wanted to make a stupid family drama so I started with a relatively well-worn road trip father/son premise.
Mother of God
Mother of God stars Freddie Highmore as Sam, the son of a Priest and a Nun respectively played by Ewan McGregor, and Jennifer Garner.
I couldn’t think of a title, so I asked our friend Lisa for a title suggestion. She started naming stuff that was on her desk and this stood out, because it made me think of snakes. So it looks like we’re headed deep into the rainforest of Suriname! Here we go!
Pink Feather Boa
Movies love it when two people fall in love just because they are different and thrust together. You guys know how love works! Even if it’s two dancers, one street and one classical, if you put them together long enough they will inevitably fall in love. Let’s go further with this. Also let’s copy Katniss because that’s highly profitable.
The Valley

I was originally trying to make a Prometheus type movie where the film really wanted to address a big sci-fi concept/question but was way too dumb to do anything smart with it. I actually think I came up with something pretty neat, a sort of Prince of Darkness crossed with Pi. Enjoy.
The God Particle

Zach gave me this title last night. Russ told me I had to do it and make it really racist. I think I can make this really stupid instead.
There No Turning Black
Cedwick is a good kid. He’s smart, helps out around the house, does all of his school work, just a damn good kid. Trouble is he is the only one. The only white mage living in a town full of black mages’. His step parents have tried to turn him evil but there is nothing they can do to help. Their black magic spells don’t work on him, unlike all other white mages, so they decided they had to take him in.
Bride-along
I just realized I haven’t made a real lapse of logic shitsandwich in a few weeks, so here is my attempt at eye-rolls.
Bride-along stars Sandra Bullock in a role curiously similar to that of her character in Miss Congeniality. She’s a no nonsense detective named Grace who is engaged to be married to her longtime sweetheart, Ben played by Owen Wilson. Grace is a total alpha woman and super tough, while Ben is a really laid back, “Californian” elementary schoolteacher. They are pretty much opposites, but they make it work. The opening credits of the film show the formative years of their relationship and all of the comic instances where Grace is super tough and Ben is a complete laid back, but also pussy about stuff. As the montage scenes play on and Grace is a detective, it’s easy to notice that Ben wants commitment from her, and one day she eventually asks him to marry her.
I attempted to write about the Panda naming thing I mentioned last night during the live podcast, but nothing strong came out of the thought process. So here’s what I originally thought about writing based on a dream I had early this week.
Little Sister
We open up on a teenage boy named Tyler lying in bed, played by Max Thieriot, reading a letter. We see it’s from a girl dumping him. His mother knocks on the door and says he can’t lie around forever moping. He goes with his mother and father to a church yard sale.
