movies, silly
SIlly stoned thought from last night:
You know how they say film genres have a life cycle? And they go through "primitive," "classic," "revisionist," and "parodic" phases?
I was thinking about what would happen f the remake trend itself went into its final throes and we started getting WEIRD remakes of things...
Like, years ago I was matching Evil Dead 2 with a dear friend and we started joking around about doing a remake where all the SFX gore -- literally meat scraps and red Karo syrup per Raimi-- was replaced with breakfast foods. It's the exact same film, but when someone gets splatted, out comes orange juice, scrambled eggs, æbleskivers, sausage links...
Or a remake of Tarantino's Deathproof. But the villain(s) chase innocent women around in their tricked out polka-dot 1920s clown car with a goofy air horn and 50 of their friends crammed into the back dressed in harlequin makeup.
Title: "Foolproof."

How about a tense courtroom drama set on a beach? And instead of sitting uncomfortably in chairs, everyone involved (yes, the judge, bailiff, defendant, plaintiff, lawyers, the whole jury, EVERYBODY) is playing on the beach, tossing beachballs and frisbees around, eating picnic food, swimming in the ocean (surfacing to say things like "Objection!"), the court stenographer is writing shorthand with a stick in the sand, the whole nine yards. I'd watch that!
