For the first time ever I present to you a movie written in a car! On the way to Evelyn’s for the weekend, Brian suggested this title and Ashley said it needed to be spelt with an A, and my response was “Way ahead of you.”

Dear Crossing
Last night was Pig Pile 50! What a glorious occasion. I believe the local papers said FUN NIGHT HAD BY ALL. Title comes from Adam and I’m having a hard time coming up with an idea. It’s week 90, Only 12 more until 2 years!
Man Before Time
A man is standing at an almost full chalkboard. He gazes at it pondering the calculations with chalk all over his jacket. A woman enters. She apologizes for intruded and they talk a bit. He’s awkward and shy while she is more forward. Laura tells Samuel all about her writing/philosophy major and questions him about his theoretical physics work. He tells her about his theories on time travel. She laughs at first but sees the passion in his eyes. She warns him to be careful and not mess up history, about mistakenly eliminating species or even creating religions.
It’s a new year, 2013 (the year of the lull) is over and it’s time for 2014 (the year of…um… I’ll get back to you on that one). I haven’t written a FMF in almost a year, Pete has been holding down the fort for all of us, which is why I looked to him for the title of my first FMF back in action. I give you:
The Clockwork King
We open on an old toyshop. An elderly old man is working diligently to fix up an old animated king doll. The gears look like the inner workings of a Grandfather Clock. Finally the old man finishes, dusts off the king, puts him in a shelf, turns out the light and closes up shop for the evening. The king then opens his eyes, looks around the shop, tests out his limbs to make sure everything is working and then jumps off the shelf.
Originally Tigs gave me some titles that didn’t quite hit me, not for lack of effort on his part. Then he gave me “Black Hole Fun.” I wanted to write it really bad but coudln’t concentrate and just kept singing it STP style. So I went back to the bottomelss well of creativity that is Tigs and came back with this. NO PART OF THIS FILM IS BASED ON FACT, I mean there are dates, but I made up the rest.
Marketeers
Movie opens with Mickey, a WWI vet looking for work in the mid 1920s, California. He has a wife and a new born son at home but is struggling to find much except work as a bouncer. He meets a struggling animator one day who we find is Walt Disney.
Hey party people! Back to asking Tigs for suggestions and writing this at work because I am super bored. I have an idea for the frame of this film but have no clue where it is actually going. Hopefully it works out.
The Last Time I Talked to Harry
Happy Friday everybody! This is a special edition of FMF because not only did I get the title of the film last night at Pig Pile, I also wrote it LIVE in front of the audience. If you had to see one piece of performance art yesterday you should have been there and not at something Banksy was doing. Thanks to Brian for the title. I’ve made some changes since last night.
A Bridge Too Gwar
Just got home from Comic Con. My feet hurt, I’m tired, but duty is duty. So here we go. I hope it makes sense. I hope I get an idea soon. Not yet, here comes one. Nope. Maybe now? Still no. HERE WE GO. I thought of an idea that turned out to be “30 Minutes or Less”. Adam gave me this title.
The Beginnings’ End
The movie opens with a man, Adam, running down the street from the police. One of his hands is in handcuffs. He escapes from the police into a warehouse and catches his breath. He pulls his jacket off and places it over his arm and walks away calmly.
He walks into an apartment building and rides the elevator up. He knocks on a door and it opens into a pot smoke filled apartment. “How’s the movie?” the person asks. Adam looks confused and tells him he needs his help. They get the cuff off and Adam’s friend tells him about a job. Adam is hesitant for he’s already in some trouble. His friend tells him “trouble never ends”.

Every time I have a Friday off I forget about Fake Movie Friday. Even though my plan when I woke up was to beat Saints Row and then write a film. Now I’m pressed for time AND THAT UNHELPFUL A-HOLE Tigs isn’t currently on Gchat to give me a title. I guess I’ll write the companion film to Parallel. You will not understand this movie without reading Parallel.
Parallel II
The movie opens with the ending of Parallel. Dan is on the roof trying to plead his case to Agent Crisp. Dan tackles him off the building and we see Dan’s smile. The camera pauses and rewinds a bit and we see Crisp wake up in a bed. Next to him is a woman who kisses him and gets up calling him Kyle. Kyle sits up and we see a wedding ring on his finger.

It’s been a long 3 weeks in a row where I haven’t gotten a title from Tigs. Frankly I think he was sad about it. I promised him this week that I would come straight to him for a title and as always he delivers
No One Sleeps in the City
Movie opens with on screen texts recounting the 100th Monkey Phenomenon. How monkeys on one island learned a skill and the same species across the ocean on another island mysteriously learned it. Evolution jumps. We then see a montage of New Yorkers partying all night, working through the night and basically being out 24 hours a day.

Happy Friday everyone. Last night was Pig Pile thus the title this week was audience produced. This one comes from my roommate Adam. I haven’t decided what it is about yet. So let’s wing it
Mr. Garbageman
Movie opens as a garbage truck makes its stops early one morning through the city. At one corner as the garbageman is tossing bags into the back he hears a noise. He movies some things around to find a baby, abandoned in the trash. He looks at it inquisitively and calls for the driver. The driver comes around and groans like he doesn’t need this grief. Cut to the cops there with the same blank stare looking down at the child. One cop groans the same groan and picks it up into the car. He scribbles a note onto his pad and places it onto the child. It simple says Garbageman. In the hospital the nurse at the front desk groans and takes the baby. Scribbling only garbageman on the chart. A doctor arrives to check on the baby. He groans and says, “So this is the garbageman child?” The title screen and credits roll over the paperwork being passed on an processed, naming this baby Joe Garbageman.
