Spitballin'

Post by Ron Burgundy »

Ok, so, have had a few, so bair with me.

What if:
As someone thinks of this brilliant idea for a movie/TV show. They write it here, for all to see, just so we know how came up with it first.

My first one (shit nearly forgot it)

About a ruthless, black hearted lawyer who takes the dirtiest and highest standing jobs he can get, and does them with efficiency and effectiveness. One wonders how such a man does these things just for money. I had more, but thats all forgotten now

A closeted San Francisco detective is tasked to solve a brutal homicide in an apartment building. The only witness? A cat. The detective must now protect the cat and her owner, an eleven-year-old and solve the case before the killer strikes again. It's a drama.

Another idea, only it's just a title and a one-line premise.

Police Cream

Cops who go undercover in an ice cream truck. That's all I got.

I haven't seen it, but this was what Lincoln Lawyer was about, right?

I had an idea like 10 years ago, that I put on Sleepy Skunk's movie idea site. Anyone remember that?

I had breakfast with Sleepy Skunk in LA last month. He's still around, making trailers for some pretty big movies.

I'm resurrecting this.

I've been watching both Don't Trust the B---- in Apt. 23 and Jessica Jones lately and noticed both shows have a crazy neighbor named Robin. I have the idea that the trilogy should be completed but this time, the crazy neighbor is the main character and Krysten Ritter is now playing her. Maybe I'll kill two birds with one stone and make it the serial killer sitcom I've had an idea for.

She could pull that off. Easily.
