Michael Bay’s BATTLESHIP. “Sink them before they sink you!”
Jim Carrey stars in THE GAME OF LIFE.
GUESS WHO? “Can you guess who? It’s a mystery.” Probably starring Eddie Murphy. Because he’d play all of the characters who kind of look like one another.
Disneyland attractions just waiting to be mined: Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, Space Mountain, Jungle Cruise.
I’m a little disturbed that before it’s even published the movie rights to Pride and Prejudice and Zombies are already being fought over. But mostly I’m jealous that I didn’t come up with it first.

Baby Ruth and Sugar Daddy are on the lam from Lemonhead and Jolly Rancher in a futuristic “Paper Moon” feel good story of the new decade.
Sugar Daddy (Sam Jackson) has just found out that he is in fact the father of the ever precocious Baby Ruth (Elle Fanning), who has been living with her maternal grandparents (Cybil Shepard and Nick Nolte)
Sugar Daddy an Ultimate Fighter promoter in Laughlin NV whose luck has run out hits the road in this coming of age buddy pic. Will they out wit Lemonhead (William Sadler) and Jolly Rancher (Steve Zahn).
This sweet and tasty morsel of a film will delight families everywhere brought to you by the diabetes care centers of America, the CDC, and the Presidents Council on Physical Fitness and sports.
I can already taste the proceeds

uh…
Cal Worthington and his Dog Spot in ‘Turner and Hooch 2′ (or is that THII?).
Cal essentially plays Sean Connery to Tom Hanks’ Harrison Ford… ummm… only he plays it like Ernest P. Worrel.
As long as it only played on the west coast, it would clean up! Or I’ll eat a bug!

We really need to adapt “Scotch Tape” into a feature film. It would be a comedy starring Mike Meyers with an over the top Scottish accent. It would probably also need one of the kids from “Good Burger” just to set the tone of the film as a wacky and pointless comedy caper. The soundtrack would of course include “Sticky Sweet” by Motley Crue and “Stick Up” by Lil’ Bow Wow .
Comedy gold. Gold.

“Baby Come Back” – dir Woody Allen
(in Production)
A love triangle which may seem to begin down the same path of the Academy Award nominated MatchPoint but this butal story of a love that was never meant to be is oh so different..
The gripping story I speak of is the classic tale of the Swifter Wet Jet moving in on Mr Mop and his previous owner.
No wait dont leave yet.. Did I tell you that Woody has just signed on the ShamWow Guy for a cameo?
Candygram!!!
