Depth Charge


THIS IS AN ACTUAL PAINTING MICHAEL JACKSON COMMISSIONED.

FREE ASSOCIATION:

Is Global obligated to show NBC's watermark?

CBS doesn't show CTV's watermark during Flashpoint


Idea: The Human Alien Project.

I haven't worked out the logistics, but sequester a newborn baby boy so that he grows up without any human interaction. He can only observe human behavior in films and books and on television and a restricted Internet.

Then, on his 18th birthday, release him into the world and document what happens.


Fox is releasing both Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li and Dragonball Evolution.

Double zero roulette.


Idea: A television adaptation of Marvel's What If…? comic book series.

Plenty of existing material to work with:

» What if Daredevil had lived in Feudal Japan?
» What if Iron Man sold out?
» What If Peter Parker was bitten by a radioactive sheep?
» What if Spider-Man was a murderer?
» What If Spider-Man had remained in 1980s Russia after an accidental death?
» What if Wolverine was lord of the vampires?
» What if Wolverine became The Punisher in the 1920s?

WHAT IF WOLVERINE BECAME A CRAZED VIGILANTE DURING PROHIBITION! Who wouldn't want to see that?

And this is merely what Marvel has published. Imagine the scenarios the writers of, say, Nip/Tuck could dream up.


» What if Captain America had lived in the American Civil War?

Idea: A dramatization of a contemporary American Civil War.

I secretly hope that America descends into civil war again. I think it'd be fun to align with a side and participate in combat in America as we know it.

Why is this not a video game? Call of Duty 5: Modern Civil Warfare.


5-Hour Energy, 6 Hour Power – Do I hear seven? Seven hours?

May this energy shot arms race never end.


In 2003, I read about In Smog and Thunder, a mockumentary about a Californian civil war told through artwork.

I wish it was a live-action film.

I like Northern California's chances against Southern California in a civil war. I think the tale of the tape is fairly even.

They have a naval base; we have BART cops.


It's time to retire "Rain in Los Angeles is a big deal" as an observation.

    Jeremy- You also forgot about Hillcrest in San Diego.

    And you're forgetting that basically the area from the Grapevine (Bakersfield, Fresno, Hanford, Visalia, etc) to SF, is midwestern/redneckian/fayghatin' as CA gets.
