Two film ideas:
1) A day in the life of a man who almost never moves voluntarily, though he is in no way physically impaired. When his alarm clock goes off, he hits a button on his adjustable bed which rolls him onto a wheelchair, which he takes to a mechanical chairlift that takes him down to the living room. From here he gets into a second wheelchair which takes him to the front door, where he gets onto a Segway in order to travel the 15-20 feet to his car, which has a step that comes out automatically to make it easier for him to enter. The car parks itself and, to a good extent, drives itself. Etc, etc. (I have yet to figure out how exactly to make it clear that he is just incredibly lazy, rather than genuinely incapable of moving.)
In the course of his day, I would like the man to use as many dumbass, unnecessary inventions as possible. Anything that allows him to use even less energy than he otherwise would. An electric orange peeler, a spray bottle with a fan that mists spring water, etc.
The end of the film will just be the man crying uncontrollably for hours at the worhthlessness of his life.
2) A day in the life of a man who believes he is smarter than everyone around him between the hours of 9am-5pm. It will be a documentary about me.
