Milhouse, The Visionary
OMG! My dreams are getting better and better.
Get this...
I watched pratically a whole feature length movie... in my sleep.
And the best thing about it is, that I made it all up. It's completely my own story.
As usual I've written it all down the second I woke up as the credits rolled.
But I've decided to keep most details of it schtum purely for plagiarism reasons, just in case say Mr. Kubrick is reading this in Heaven and wants to steal it.
I'm not kidding, this stuff is blockbuster material. A homage to some of the greatest movies and stories ever told set in the styles of some of the greatest directors ever seen.
Think, Once Upon A Time In The West (Leone) meets The Matrix (The Wachowski's) meets Romeo & Juliet (Bas Lerman) meets Star Wars (Lucas) meets 2001: A Space Odyssey (Kubrick) meets, Kill Bill 2 (Tarintino) meets, say, a John Woo film.
I'M SERIOUS! It was pretty action packed. But then also had a classic plot set in stone.
Of Course there will be a few edits, Some stuff didn't make quite a lot of sense - the characters were played by the actors of Neighbors - but then I've decided that this is not to be a believable or realistic vision as it's a story from a parallel universe (that's my excuse anyway).
I am very interested in film making and would much like a career in that area, so it's definitely an idea that I will work on for the future (I suspect for all the Special FX involved, a large budget would be ideal).
Say 10-15 years down the line it could be my 4th movie, acclaiming me as a legendary story teller Director. It that doesn't work, I could always sell the script to someone else.
I know exactly how the Soundtrack will be, the cinematography, the vehicles, the sets... Everything! So sorry I can't tell you.
Strangely, Yemi - fellow art student, Stevie Wonder lova, and middle child of the 3 hugely talented Adelikan brothers (anyone remember Gbenga?) from RWS (Ravens Wood School) - plays a small role in it as the lead character's life-long friend.
(I found a couple of links on him but I'm not sure if it's the dame person or not. Perhaps someone could help me find out.)
I've taken this as a note that I will HAVE to secure Yemi a role in the film whatever happens.
Bet all the rest of you are all jealous you don't appear in my dreams eh?
I'm sure that I can fit Blake in there to play a small cameo role somewhere.
That has to be the first time I've had a major brainstorm during an unconscious state though.
I imagine that's how some of 'the Great Minds of Yesteryear' must have got their ideas.
It feels like your suddenly a higher power and aware of everything around you. Bit like being stone drunk and off your head in Blue Orchard really (What a dump though).
Don't get me wrong, I'm not making myself out to be a divine being the likes of Mozart or Einstien or anything... Though I'm not necessarily ruling this out... I'm only 18 after all (I'm sure I wrote something like this somewhere else?!...)
BTW. I watched Koyaanisqatsi today.
I'm going to swear now because I think it is nesessery - It's Fuckin... AWESOME!
That's all i'm sayin. at the mo.
I'm off to watch a load of vids i'm borrowed from the library.

You're lucky, as I rarely remember my dreams. I only know if they've been good ones or not.
"I'm sure that I can fit Blake in there to play a small cameo role somewhere." - ta muchly. I don't mind going drag if it helps...
"I watched Koyaanisqatsi today." - I watched M yesterday. (One of the film noirs we didn't watch because there's no femme fatale.) Was quite good as it happens.
Your film sounds better though, so you win.
