so i came up with a movie idea. here it is via a conversation i had with someone.
Ray loves hippos: i came up with the most win movie idea ever
Ray loves hippos: like a short film
Ray loves hippos: this kid, either chinese japanese or brazailian
Ray loves hippos: wakes up every day
Ray loves hippos: he's poor and homeless by the way
Ray loves hippos: and he prays for an asteroid to hit earth
Ray loves hippos: and the movie is just him walking around
Ray loves hippos: and he walks by electronics stores
Ray loves hippos: and you catch various glimpses of what's going on in the world through that
Ray loves hippos: basically shit sucks
Ray loves hippos: the fun part is he's unaware of all this
Ray loves hippos: he just wants the world to end for some unknown reason
Ray loves hippos: so like
Ray loves hippos: everyone is at war
Ray loves hippos: and resource scarcity
Ray loves hippos: and all this
Ray loves hippos: well not war
Ray loves hippos: but violent flare ups along borders and shit
Ray loves hippos: one of the broadcasts on the televisions is everyone in the UN leaving because it's been disbanded
Phloidf787: Fucl
Ray loves hippos: and some of the information you get is people talking on the street
Phloidf787: Fuck
Ray loves hippos: and finally he looks up at the sky
Ray loves hippos: and there's jsut this massive asteroid, off in the distance
Ray loves hippos: and he just watches it as it hits earth
Ray loves hippos: and the movie ends with him smiling in slow mo
Ray loves hippos: and he just sort of falls on his back in the grass
Ray loves hippos: looking up
Ray loves hippos: and the camera angle is top down
Phloidf787: I love it.
Ray loves hippos: then about ten seconds later
Ray loves hippos: as you;'re looking down
Ray loves hippos: you just hear this roar
Ray loves hippos: as the shockwave rushes over the kid
Ray loves hippos: melting him basically
Ray loves hippos: and the movie ends
Ray loves hippos: also i made a mistake
Ray loves hippos: he just wishes the world to end
Ray loves hippos: not necessarily a meteor
Ray loves hippos: but that's what i had in mind
Phloidf787: Gotcha
Phloidf787: Let's make it.
Ray loves hippos: i'm down for it
Ray loves hippos: see i'm thinkign brazil
Ray loves hippos: because i like the idea of the kid looking out from rio de janiaro
Ray loves hippos: with all the mountains and shit
Ray loves hippos: and just seeing a massive asteroid off in the distance
Ray loves hippos: so yeah that's my movie idea
Ray loves hippos: it's actually the best movie idea i've had to date
Phloidf787: I really like it.
Ray loves hippos: i'm either going to write it and pitch it
Ray loves hippos: or someday make it myself
Phloidf787: I could actually see that idea really taking off.
Phloidf787: I definitely see it asmore of a short than a feature.
Ray loves hippos: yeah
Ray loves hippos: i don't know how short though
Ray loves hippos: i'd imagine like 30 minutes maybe
Phloidf787: Sounds reasonable.
Ray loves hippos: the idea is though that the kid never talks
Ray loves hippos: the story is just told through what he hears
