Stalemate!

Sounds like a good movie title, but unfortunately it's the label I've given my current thought process regarding moving forward with my script. I get myself all pumped up, thinking "okay, you've got four days off so just grab a coffee, sit down and let those fingers fly." Yeah! Heck yeah! Let's do this; let's knock this thing out! Right after I check Huffington Post. OMG, that Ashton Kutcher is such a jerk.

This is such an old song I'm singing here; it's pretty much the only way to update my blog, to harp on about the fact that I'm not writing anything. Boooooring! Yawn. This can't go on. Spur of the moment writing exercise (yuck...I hate saying "writing exercise." Sound so stupid). Anyway, here we go.

Best worst screenplay ideas I can think of right now on the spot:

1. Destination Anywhere. Story about two females who decide their lives are boring so they borrow their neighbor's car and embark on a cross country road trip. Oh, and one of them has cancer or something.

2. Happy Christkuanzaka. Movie about three friends from three different ethnic and religious backgrounds learning to accept each other's diversity during the holiday season.

3. Through A Child's Eyes. An abused, crippled orphan discovers a supernatural friend who give her the ability to walk, but only after the child carries out brutal and bloody errands. Spoiler alert: it's all in her head. Gasp!

4. Eenie Meenie. A scientist discovers time travel and seeks to right historical wrongs only to discover that cosmic decisions must be made using the age old method of random selection: eenie meenie minie moe.

5. I Am Al. A guy named Al is convinced that to gain world domination he must kill all the other Als in the world. The twist: he falls in love with a woman...named Al!

Wow, okay I have to stop. These aren't even good as spoofs. They're just worthless. Bleh.
