We could try to damage it a little more by making it blatantly ridiculous. I think I will call the female character Ethel.<br /><br />Samuel: Ethel look at me! Stop addressing the dogs, they may hear you but THEY CAN'T UNDERSTAND YOU!<br />Ethel: Oohhh!!<br />Samuel: I have a confession to make.<br />Ethel: Yes dear.<br />Samuel: I am not the man you love. I am actually Sam's unknown_until_now evil twin brother: Elijah, [classic cheap trick] and I had made sure he never sees you again.<br />Ethel: Did you... did you kill him?<br />Elijah: Nnaaahhhh!!! Dumb as he is, he is still my brother. I sent him in a two week all expenses paid trip to Vegas. By the time he gets back --if ever-- you will be long gone.<br />Ethel: You evil man! But surely the mercy of god still lives within you!<br />Elijah: No. It doesn't. For #$%&/() sakes woman, will you just die and quit talking!<br />CUT!<br /><br />Dumb, infuriating and revolting to the mind, isn't it?<br />But now imagine some high-caliber actress like Sean Young as Ethel and whatever_Oscar_winning_actor_you_prefer as Elijah.<br />What? Hey, even a GREAT actress like Sean Young had made appearances in a soap opera. I imagine it is all related to the food habit we humans have.<br /><br />Anyway, throw a few million dollars in Fx and picture a lava tsunami coming right at the cabin they are in. Add a good soundtrack and there you are.<br />That's the Hollywood criteria: big budget Fx, superb/good music, it doesn't matter if there is no dialog and even if there are not big names on it, IT WILL SELL right?<br />Well I don't think so, but I guess we will have to ask the green hornet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
