Ideas for Terrible Movies That Might Conceivably Be Made

Have you seen an original movie this year? Me neither, and not just because I was banned from no fewer than three area theaters for requesting to bathe in the popcorn machine. That hot butter is so relaxing! ANYWAY, I've come up with some "original" ideas to help out Hollywood:

The Arthurian Candidate

Arthur Shaw is the hero of the War in Afghanistan for finally capturing Osama bin Laden. But when Arthur's fellow Marines, led by Lance Martin, start to have the same dream— that Arthur's intel about Osama bin Laden actually came from a mysterious lady in a lake rather than real American hard work— they discover that the Taliban travelled back in time to kidnap and brainwash King Arthur to think he needed to install himself as king in the White House at Avalon, which is really Washington, D.C. The twist is that Lance is ALSO a sleeper agent from the past who winds up ruining Arthur's political future by exposing the saucy affair Arthur's wife, Jennifer Shaw, had with one of Arthur's main advisors— who turns out to be Lance himself! The ending is a cliffhanger so that we can do up a sequel real quick.

Time Thieves

Time Thieves is a madcap romp through the life of office drone Rob Phelps as he and his friends Jason and Tim try to waste time at work without being caught by their micro-managing boss Evan Dunbury or office tattle-tale Wayne Welks.

The Fighting Vuvuzelas

The Fighting Vuvuzelas is the heartwarming story of a small town high school footbal team that just can't seem to win, especially after their star quarterback, Ben Gifford, leaves the team to play soccer. When superintendent Arnold Wierstiener announces that either soccer or football will be cut based on the results of the current season, the football team, led by second-string quarterback Max Holland and coaches Terry Evans and Jeff Barrett, must find a way to revive the team. It is Terry's wife and Social Studies teacher, Erin, and Ben's girlfriend and cheerleader Katie Simpson, who first bring vuvuzelas to the football game to cheer the team on. As the football team gains confidence from the increasing crowds of vuvuzela-blowers, their season turns around and they reach championship. Meanwhile, Katie begins to spend more time with Max. When the football/soccer rivalry peaks as each team sets out to play their final games, Ben must decide whether to stick with soccer, the game he really loves, or come back to football to win back Katie.

The Fighting Vuvuzelas (altrnate)

Jake, Fred, Will and Judy are four soccer-loving friends, but their personal lives suffer as a result of their obsession with the game. Jake can't keep a girlfriend and is constantly rejected by women, Fred hasn't worked in years, and Will and Judy, though married, don't really get along. But when Jake orders a special vuvuzela from Africa that turns out to have been imbued with wish-granting powers, everything changes. Jake meets Karen, who falls madly in love with him. Fred is suddenly offered a very high-paying job, and Will and Judy renew their vows in a lavish ceremony before heading on vacation in Europe. At the same time, the friends fight amongst each other and eventually go their separate ways. As the wishes granted by the vuvuzela turn out not to provide the happiness they did at first (and are, in fact, fraught with problems and complications), the four friends must decide if the wishes were really worth losing their friendship.

Dreamforce

In the near future, the Oneiros Corporation has developed technology for a government contract which allows specially trained agents to project powerful manifestations of themselves into the real world while in a dream state. These manifestations aren't subject to the laws of physics but can interact with normal matter and are therefore capable of completing otherwise impossible tasks. But a mission to assassinate an enemy leader goes horribly wrong and agent James Donovan goes into a coma. While there, his increasingly insane mind wreaks havok when it continues to project manifestations into the real world. Under the scrutiny of Senator Robert Billings and pressure from corrupt Oneiros Corporation CEO Irving Jackson, the agents of Team Icelus must risk their own lives and sanity by re-entering the dreamstate to stop Donovan from causing further destruction. But is Donovan really insane, or remaining in the dreamstate on purpose? The agents find themselves playing a dangerous game in which they must infiltrate both the Oneiros Corporation and the US government in order to find the truth.

Rasputin the Red

Jason Cunningham is a former Fransiscan monk now working as a covert CIA agent in Russia when he crosses paths with the beautiful Maria Petranova. Maria, herself a Russian spy, discovers Cunningham's espionage and confronts him about it. But the two enemies are soon forced to join together when kidnapped by the villianous Dmitri Trufanov and his American partner Alexandra Jackson. Jason and Maria soon discover that Maria is in fact a descendant of the Romanov tsar Nicholas II and Trufanov's true intention is to use a sample of Maria's blood to bring Grigori Rasputin back to life. Despite the efforts of Jason and Maria, Trufanov is successful. The now-undead Rasputin quickly uses his necromantic powers to raise three unexpected allies from the dead: Lenin, Stalin, and Trotsky. Being undead, the four are unaffected by poison, bullets, and blunt force and soon make their way across Russia to instigate a new revolution— one in which the undead rule. Jason and Maria must make their way across Russia to defeat the three Communist leaders and Rasputin before they gain control of Russia's nuclear weapons and zombify the whole world!

The Unexcited Brother

David Zucker is often described by family and friends as "stoic," but that's just because the SSRIs he's taking for depression— diagnosed by his family physician/father Jerry— cause him to experience anhedonia, that is, a lack of pleasure. Although his siblings attempt various questionable and often dysfuncitonal methods of cheering him up, he remains unresponsive. It is only when a chance encounter with Jackie Orlandi, who suffers from a self-diagnosed borderline personailty disorder, causes Jackie to cling to David for emotional security. Although he initially tries to rid himself of her, David finds himself drawn to her quirky personality and must decide whether or not to disobey his father's overbearing

medical opinion.
