It's definitely an original idea. I'd like to see what you come up with Lucinda. Keep me posted!

I encourage you to make a script out of it. It's a hard thing to comment on ideas b/c they can go so many ways. I don't even know if your movie is a comedy or drama...so it's really hard to say how good an idea it is. I'm sure Ishatar sounded good in the beginning.

So develop it.

It's a drama..

coffeebeetle · October 21, 2003, 05:20:09 PM

It has the underpinnings of a quirky short comedy too....but wtf do I know...

But a depressed coffee table is cool.

one of the coolest things i have ever heard.

can either be great or a disaster, depending on what you do with it. but definitly do something with it.

i once had an idea for a short that was told from the perspective of a penny spanning about 35 years. it was to be a comedy.

Actually I think it could be a really cynical comedy... Hmm! I will have to think more about this. I like your penny idea as well. Thank you for the feedback, everyone.

Change the coffee table to a cynical action hero and the troubled family to a wisecracking talking dog and you got yourself a movie.

Seriously though, personified inanimate objects are awesome.

Quote from: Lucinda BryteAnd Kiiljari narrating about how he is used to pile bills on and that's a symbolic reference to something I haven't quite worked out yet

Umm... let's see... He yearns for what the family has, so he yearns for money and stability, and they pile that stuff on him, literally slapping him in the face with bills. He can't consume like they do and he's smitten with the aftermath.

No no no, that's lazy. Of course it could be a cheap little comedy, but you have to extend it into a nearly pretentious epic drama. It has to be played seriously. Then it would be a truly beautiful thing.

I am so pretentious without realizing it. It's a flaw...

No, it's a good thing when combined with absurdity.

Well thanks actually.

It's odd. I was just thinking of bands that have been around a long time who sing songs from the beginning of their career. It seems like it would be re-visiting an old memory of when they wrote the song.

And if I ever made this (or any other) movie, I would look back on it twenty years from now and have that mindset reminded to me and probably feel embarassed.
