Firstly, I'd like to apologize for the annoyingly long topic title.
Nothing gets the ideas flowing better than listening to Styx.
...Though could be wrong...


Brainstorm
(short)

At a local coffee shop, two friends were attempting to write a script for a movie contract they had recently acquired. Unfortunately, neither of them could come up with an idea.

"Ok then, how about this?" said Rob as he prepared to pitch his idea, "A story about a soldier in Vietnam and..."
"Rob, I think the 60s beat that to death already," interrupted Sara.
"Hmm, ok how about a man who uses his extreme wealth to fight evil..."
"Iron Man and Batman, already done."
"Dammit, well how about a man who can't die, but instead gets reincarnated and has a time travelling phone booth and..."
"Rob, that's Dr. Who."
"Seriously?? I thought that was a good one."
"Yea, try again."
"Alright how about a story about two friends one guy and one gal who have this very intricate love triangle and a lot of drama happens to them and their circle of friends and..."
"A high school romance? Grease already beat that to death."
"Dammit Sara, why dont you come up with something?"
"Because listening to you fish for ideas is entertaining."
"We only have 3 months to come up with an idea AND write a movie long script!"
"I know, and I'm sure we'll come up with something."
"Wait! What about a Mafia movie?"
"Godfather"
"ARGH!!!"

A week later.

"I think this may be the best idea yet!" said Rob excitedly.
"Rob, this is almost exactly like the Star Wars trilogy," said Sara as she read the script.
"Oh you've got to be f****** kidding me! I spent 3 days up all night trying to write that!"
"Lucky for both of us, I've also got something."
"Hallelujah, mind if I take a look?"
"Sure go ahead."

Rob took a quick once over on Sara's script.

"This is... brilliant!"
"Told you we'd make the deadline, and we still have almost 3 months to boot!"
"Well, I still have to thoroughly read this so I can check for grammar errors."
"You're such a Grammar Faschist."
