me:
i think of the island as what might have happened if they'd given chris carter 50 million dollars for one episode of the x-files, and then he took out moulder and scully and then wrote the episode in a coma.

maybe we should make a romantic comedy that would play off all the other romantic comedies to our advantage. we'll have the boy meet the girl, and then the boy hook up with the girl, and then we'll spend the rest of the movie having them just be happy and doing little couple things. the suspense will come from the audience, who will be expecting something to go wrong. the twist ending? nothing at all goes wrong! maybe it could be about a gay relationship- say between john cusak and steven segal...

barbara:
John Cusak and Steven Segal now that would be an interesting romance. No way they would ever make the movie, but still it gives me giggles just thinking about it. I need to get a camera and make a movie called Everyone is Mostly Happy where my main character just goes around having a normal life doing normal things, and in the end is happy through most of the day. I think a movie like this would depress people.

me:
let's make a movie called "don't you wish your life was like this?" we can include hemlock shots in the press packets. maybe we can translate the title into a foreign language so people will go thinking it's really deep. people always think foreign films are going to be really deep.
