You Should Try Bull Riding
Congrats, you've got the moxie to tame a 2000 lb bull
At least, here's hoping so!
What Extreme Sport Should You Try?
Now I don't know what on earth this thing is talking about, because on Saturday I determined that Bull Riding is NOT the sport for me. I went with T to the Carroll County Ag Center to see some good 'ole Western fun. It was pretty cool actually. It was interesting being molested by hundreds of small children (why would you bring copious amounts of 3-and-unders to a rodeo?) while watching various levels of hot men try to ride 2000-lb bucking animals. I don't understand how on earth they do it. Not only are they strapped onto the bull with one hand and getting tossed around like a rag doll (we saw one guy's face go smackdab in-between the shoulders of the thing), but when they finally do either a)fall b)jump c)a combination of the two to get off, they have to worry about getting trampled to death. 8 seconds is ALOT of time. And those clowns better be getting paid some GOOD money.
Why we were enjoying the festivites, I developed a BRILLIANT idea. A bull-riding movie would be the next big stereotypical-sex-filled-exciting-and-dangerous-thing-to-appeal-to-the-"average"-teenager-to-late-20s person movie. See the vision: It'll be the cliche, woman overcoming the stereotypes of society kind of movie. The main character will be a teenage girl that desperately wants to make it big in the rodeo scene. But, because it is a male dominated sport, she is not accepted, especially by the one jackass who is the "Ring Leader" of the group. It is at this part where you can throw in all sorts of sexual innuendos such as "I only ride the biggest bulls", to not only prove a point, but to destroy his manhood. Muhahahahaha. Anyway, the Jackass is merely hiding his own insecurity at being shown up, because he has this massive hangup that his father was a champion bullrider who was very successful, but unfortunately was killed while in the ring. Therefore, not only do you have the pressure to be just as successful, you also have the whole fear of...well, a possibly agonizing death due to being trampled by a 2000-lb beast.
Anyway, I digress. So the girl shows up and totally owns a competition and earns all of the guys respect and consequently the Jackass' heart. *Enter big make-out scene. Eventually a big sex scene. Not necessarily in the order. :-) I need to make it as stereotypical as possible*
BUT *Plot twist alert* The girl starts getting too good and it throws their relationship on the rocks and the former-Jackass makes some Jackassish comment because of his afore mentioned insecurity. Therefore, the girl goes to a Brazilian bullrider named Fabio to make the former-but-now-once-again-Jackass jealous. The Jackass because so emotionally screwed up that his performance starts to weaken and he's slipping up in competitions and forms depression. Meanwhile, the girl is depressed too b/c she really doesn't like Fabio (who is evil), but has too much pride to forgive the Jackass. Therefore, she does everything in her power to make him jealous *enter another sex scene* So at the BIG competition, the Jackass is posing a threat to Fabio in the standings, so Fabio sabotoge's the Jackass's rope that gets tied to his bull. The girl sees this, but it is too late for her to stop the Jackass from riding. The rope snaps and the Jackass is thrown to the ground and mortally trampled. However, the girl runs onto the field and holds his dying head and confesses her eternal love. They kiss and he dies and everyone is really sad, but kind of happy too. The last scene ends with a rodeo, about 6 years later, with a small child wearing really cute teal-and-silver-chaps who looks strangly like the now-dead-former-but-redeamed-Jackass doing a mutton-busting race (aka small children riding sheep. A precursor to bull riding) with the Girl watching proudly from the stands.
I think it's gold. Add in a few quirky characters, like a guy that is so paranoid about getting his cowboy hat dirty that he is willing to jump off of the bull and dive under the bull's legs to get it. Lovable and ridiculiously funny. Also thrown in some great one liners and some witty banter, and really play up the hottness of the riders and it will do well. This idea has now been copyrighted. Just for your information.
