Fed up with myself.
Fed up with time, too. Hours, seconds, minutes etc. I'd vote tory if A) I could vote, and b) they proposed to change time to suit me better.
The lights are off for dramatic effect, CEO shuffles in his expensive seat, lights fat cigar.
*click* spotlight on my face.
P I N G P O N G (From the screenwriter that brought you... nothing)
"Jack, A young boy from San Francisco, dreams of one day becoming the world table tennis champion, and world famous. His paranoid father, Bill, runs a local tyre factory, and wishes that his son would follow in his footsteps. Li Kai is an aging table tennis master from China.
We follow Jack through his school years, as he neglects his studies, family, and his neurotic girlfriend Emma, in favour of training non-stop for table tennis competitions. Winning tournament after tournament, Jack’s skill is incredible. He even persuades Bill to purchase illegal TV equipment to watch his Chinese idols play in the world championships.
Jack finally makes it to the championships himself in his senior year. He eases through the heats, eventually coming face-to-face with his nemesis, Li Kai, in the final, on Jack’s graduation day. Li announces he will retire if he loses. After a lengthy battle of furious action, Jack defeats Li and makes it to graduation, instantly becoming a hero. Li leaves table tennis with his pride intact, and inspired by Jack, he sets up his own table tennis club for youngsters in Jack’s hometown.
Ping Pong is a sporting comedy for families, featuring wacky action and oddball characters, but it is also an inspirational tale of growing up, ambition and heroic achievements."
*CEO places a wad of cash directly into my hand*
I am tempted to end with the sentences "Space Jam meets Karate Kid, multiplied by American Pie. Moronic american teenagers will lap this shite right up, you'll make a killing. If we can cast Adam Sandler, it's a done deal. It might as well be Mighty Ducks 4: A Strange New 'Wacky' Sport. Eastern inflience gives crossover appeal"
I hope anyone who reads this is feeling good about themselves and their lives, everyone's all growing scarily fast. Must remember to do something next Sunday. Or next Monday, Tuesday, etc.
