...and they land on... ALIEN VS DARTH VADER!!!!!
OHHHHH!
Hollywood has lost any premise of being a creative force.
So be it. Here's how we get a few of our next science
fiction plots going forward.
Fans write in the movie battle they'd like to see naming
two bad guys. At random, once a
year a lucky fan has
their
letter drawn out of a jar and read on TV with the
announcement that they've won a prepaid trip to
Hollywood to spin the "Wheels Of Villains" Two Wheel Of
Fortune style wheels with names of famous movie bad
guys. The fan spins both of them and at the point that
the two wheels meet, when those two villians come
together
the Hollywood movie companies bid on who's going to
make the flick.
These bad guys can be from any time so time travel is
allowed. It's fantasy so that's OK. If it's something
challenging like Dr Moriarity vs Preditor, so be it. Get on
it
Hollywood, rise up to the challenge. Make it both
plausible
and entertaining.
I still believe there are creative people in the world,
they're just not making movies anymore, that job has
been
taken over by financial analysists. Movie A makes this
much, movie B makes this much, put them together they
should make this much, here's the budget, ask "Is it
China
friendlly?" then give it the green light.
This puts a little adventure into the art form which
might
be interesting.
Now what if it's Darth Vader vs Darth Vader?
So be it. Get writing Hollywood. Alternate universe?
Clone experiment gone wrong? Don't make me do this for
you, get to work.

This reminds me of the series with celebrities made of
plasticine fighting to the death in a wrestling ring.
"Plasticine Jack Nicholson vs. plasticine Leonardo di
Caprio" was briefly entertaining. |

Meanwhile, back in the idea, I'm picturing ... |
|
|
Hannibal Lecter and Doctor Doom eat lunch together, and
make intelligent conversation. They're evil, not stupid;
why would they fight? I'd watch, just to see where their
conversation took them. |
|
|
Oh yea, that was on MTV right? Long time ago, back
when MTV was good. |
|
|
As far as the conversation thing, there was a TV show
waaaaay
back in the day where actors played figures from
history and would sit around a table and discuss
stuff. Leonardo DaVinci and Abe Lincoln, that sort of
thing. |

We are so pleased to know that Leo is now officially "history". |
