Imagine if one day, thousands of New Yorkers were reported as missing. Literally, thousands. They left for work, and never arrived. Then, a week later, the same thing happened. Nobody had any idea what the hell had happened.
Eventually, you learn that once a week, a fake subway train loads up passengers, and disappears into a secret tunnel. By the time the passengers figure out something is wrong, they look outside the windows to see hundreds of masked figures roaming around the tunnel, holding knives, peering into the windows. Chaos breaks out in the trains. People who try to escape are killed. The others are left.
Thank you to Jillian Cordes for that idea.
For the past few weeks, I've kept a list of all the ideas for movies that come up in conversation, dreams, and drunken rants. The idea list has about 8 entries at this point. When it hits 25, I'll host a night for any interested parties in which all ideas are described, and one is selected. At that point, I'll write a treatment, and see open it up to critiquing. It'll be the first ever community-written screenplay. I use the term "community" loosely, as my blog community consists of about three readers. The above idea is one of the eight entries at this point. Feel free to add your ideas here, and I'll add to the list.

I usually don't comment on my own blogs, but this story was interesting:

A golf course in Afghanistan could make for quite a touching movie.
This list is now up to 9 ideas.

Hector would score well there. He plays exclusively in the rocks and sand regardless of which course he's playing.
