story ideas (MERGED)

...about a boyfriend (or husband) who takes his girlfriend (or wife) to a psychoanalyst because they are fighting with each other (arguing) all the time, never agreeing on anything... what do you think? would you read such book?

 

Definitely. I like all books (or magazines) that explore the male (or female) psyche. It sound like you've got good ideas (or innovations) for writing a 1st class (or economy class) comedy (or drama). Go for it myself (or yourself). Good luck (or fortune)

 

Only if its done in "Mills and Boone" style rather than anything less ironic.
You know the kind of stuff that reads like this

She saw his chest carpet sticking out of his shirt and it was more than she could do to stop herself from reaching out "oh take me now in front of my husband", she wanted to say out loud but Dr Nodik didnt even seem to notice she was there

 

myself: I think that just by adding a picture of myself on your book you are bound to sell millions.

 

I am currently writing the novel whose plot can be roughly summarized as follows:

Marika is a 24-year old young woman who is very confused, and caught in-between 2 controlling men: Angelo and Jack. Angelo is her boyfriend for almost 2 year and Jack is a psychoanalyst. Angelo was Jack's patient and now he is asking him for help in dealing with Marika. Angelo believes woman's nature is submissive, but apparently Marika upsets his theories. All 3 of them are studying/ have studies psychology, psychoanalysis and all 3 of them have./ have had issues. Erlend is a friend of Marika's who likes strong, dominant women. Erlend and Angelo are both 34, Jack is in his middle 50s. Marika tries to understand who she is and what relation she prefers, we are offered many alternatives for relations (dominant women/ men, young woman - old man couple). Finally Marika decided to break free from the 2 men's power, after having been strongly attracted to Jack for some time and him having been the only reason for which she had stayed longer near Angelo.
Throughout the book, friends of Marika and Angelo and Jack appear. And we are offered insights into Wilhelm Reich's therapy through seminar conversations. Also insight into some of Freud's theories. And we are also presented with a secret which is revealed quite late that Angelo has been into reichian therapy and his adventure with Reich started some years before meeting Marika due to troubles with a girlfriend.
Humour comes in when Marika throws Angelo's Reich book over the window. Angelo thinks she has found out about his interest in Reich having been caused by his former girlfriend, but Marika has grown fed up with Angelo's criticizing everything she reads, believes and thinks, including Freud. Jack is called to talk to her by a panicked Angelo and things are sorted out.
Angelo has been pretending to Marika that he was an intellectual, interested in the psychoanalytic movement. He has hidden from her that he has been doing reichian therapy.

Now that the story is more clear, what do you think? And thanks for the previous encouragements and suggestions.

 

hmmm sounds great, really interesting, should be a best seller so long as you have an advisor on psychoanalytics and Reich theory, do you know anything about psychoanalytic theory or do you just know about the same as everyonelse thats sort of sussed out the formula. In other words is it cod psychology or are you a professor?

BTW is that the first Reich or the third?

You should have a clown in your story called Ronald, that is as sharp as a razor like me

 

I'm writing a Science Fiction story into Screenplay format and choosing the right words to put in I find very hard to get me to page 114.


What always seems to happen is end up only creating what's known as a draft to Hollywood of so many pages. Kind of like an Instruction Booklet.

My English so to speak isn't 100% accurate even though English is my first language and was born in England even if I've lived in the UK for 29 years so far.

Try to miss my was and were's off in my Screenplays cause I get kind of confused with whether to put was and were. Am learning by listening to what others say when they mention were and was on Tele and other media.

That's the key.

I've read loads of resources on Screenplays on Hollywood websites etc and is kind of hard puzzling how to fix up each scene into a complete jigsaw.

Wondering if it will turn out like what we've watched on Films such as Terminator Films, The Matrix Films, Scream Films, Superman Films,
Batman Films, Omen Films, Star Wars Films, Star Trek Films, Harry Potter Films and James Bond Films.

Trying to make my Screenplay look like those Films.

By thinking what elements goes into those Films what would Hollywood call those elements in Screenwriting.

For eg; in Science Fiction Films you would get Aliens, UFOs, Mother Ships, Laser Beams, Space, Planets, Stars, Adbuctions, Encounters and Invasions.

In Horror you would get Vampires, Zombies, Ghosts, Gouls, Boogiemen, Slash, Blood and Gore.

In Action you would get explotions, Car Chases, Storm Troopers and Gadgets.

Please help me in any advice you can give me.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks.

 

I dont think any science fiction anal sex movies have ever been made. You could try to make a movie where two aliens from outer space are havin-it-off on the back seet of a car thats involved in a car chase, and in one of the scenes, Arnie could be seen in the background but he will be playing the part of a retarded politician that is voted in because most of the worlds retards move to where he lives and vote for him. Then the aliens get fisted by some zombies

Its called an action movie

 

Dear Johny Locust. You asked for it. Welcome to the forum.

what is thinking about writing? you write. and if when you've written it turns out to be crap, (to you, who knows what anyone else will think of anything), you admit it to yourself and write something else.

i don't know how you write about someone else either, other then in the sense of using them as a charicter, and this is best done with totaly made up people, perhapse using various personality traits of someone as a template or something like that.

i mean there's only one person you're ever inside of, and that's yourself. you can think about yourself being in different ways then you are. that's as close as you can get to being inside of someone else. to write about what the're experiencing and seeing and how they are feeling it.

otherwise it's just a perverse sort of pseudo-journalism.

i guess people do read that sort of thing. i just can't for the life of me immagine why.

I think people should wise up to the fact that all it takes to be a writer is to have some way of writing words onto paper or digital media, but to be a truly great writer you must have that, and also have a good idea and a great agent and publisher

 

It helps to have good strong deltoids, too, for lifting copious amounts of alcohol.

 

Ok lets keep it sweet but I think we should have an ideas pool where you can just lay out the idea for some writing and see what others think. If someone or anyone likes the idea they can just take it and run with it and create something here for people to read
Even if you have no intention whatsoever of writing it.
Others should criticise it for originality, viability etc etc etc etc etc
no use getting precious about ideas
Basically if anyone felt capable of writing such ideas out they should just choose from this ideas pool and start writing - hopefully people would think thats a good idea.

I have an idea for a story that would go like this


Two villages or small rural towns near to each other are caught up in some kind of wierd atmospheric storm. A few days later there is a funfair slap bang between the two towns Its just a great time and the rides are excellent - like the best funfair you ever been to. Bu then the risdes take on a new significance as a few hours later people begin to discover that beneath the fascia of each dodgem (bumper) car, is a set of switches. At first one person discovers the switch, presses it and it fires a beam weapon which narrowly mises the other cars.
eventually all the riders discover their panels and they begin firing at each other. At first they think its a game, but then they realise any car that gets hit 6 times is disintegrated into component molecular structures.
The rides dont stop but new cars appear out of thin air when the old ones have been killed. The scene draws a massive crowd and the riders form packs made of people from the two different townss. Its town v's town. people just get caught up in it without questioning it - like some power has overtaken them and they play all day and night - people dont notice but the whole place has become like a gladiatorial combat zone - and whereas the screens above their heads were playing pop videos they are now showing action replays of each kill - people are consumed with the game urging their side on and men and women jumping in to take the place of the dead drivers........ until........

 

I like it. Here's my idea for writing an American sit-com:

Ben Jones is a 35 year old African American homosexual peace campaigner, who lives with his mother in San Franciso.

When his mother is taken ill, she tells him on her death-bed who his real father is and where he can find him.

After the funeral, Ben leaves his friends, and drives his pink Cadillac to the South, where he meets his 73 year old white redneck, gun-wielding, tobacco chewing, former county sherriff, grit-eating, hillbilly, racist father. Ben tells him that he is moving in with him to take care of him in his old age.

Endless weekly adventures lie ahead with such gems as:

1) Ben tidying up the house and chidying his father for being such a bum. Then making a nouvelle cuisine meal, served with a bottle of chilled pink champagne for his old 'pa.

2) Ben inviting all his happy friends from SF for his pa's 74th birthday. Endless hilarity ensues as this coincides with his dad's inviting of his local KKK friends. The episode will be entitled Grand Wizards and Handbags.

3) Ben finds that he is not the only gay in the village, and that homosexuality is just as normal in the South as it is in Frisco. This would be the final episode, and not meant for laughs, as it's based on the truth.

 

ROFLMAO FFS OMFG FLMFAO ROF (hammerin the floor and holding my sides) WAAAAHAHAHAHA

10 minutes later

I have another idea and I have now been inspired to take my work about those two towns and translate it into an American sitcom so that readers acros the atlantic will be able to digest it easily

Ok a funfair comes to town and in the opening credits we we see it all being set up

then in every episode it starts off with the two guys who run the ticket booth of the dogems

Bill a redneck 60 year old who secretly battles with his sexual obsession for nazi uniforms - he likes the ss jacket on top and ladies suspenders and stockings with frilly black lace knickers underneath his crissply pressed trousers (sorry I meant pants! ) He is actually a liberal but just loves the uniform and masturbation

Chuck knows about Bills secret obsession and because chuck is a member of the NRA
and an outspoken fascist he must help bill keep it a secret or they will both be a laughing stock

Meanwile A hippy girl named Annabella (Chuck's GF) is suspicious of the both of them and thinks she may be dating a gay guy which really turns her on a lot. but it bewilders chuck who cannot think why she keeps on going on about gays when he is around because he is actually a really macho guy who has about 10 illigitimate children and 16 women dotted around the USA. However he is slightly emasculated by her from time to time as he apparently has such a small penis

Then theres ma and pa who just dont understand much about youth these days and they wonder all the time why Bill hasnt got married and why chuck, their son, is bisexual, as annabella told them he is.

Theres no death in this version just their misunderstanding of the townsfolk and the townsfolks misunderstanding of redneck funfair life

 

That would make a brilliant Emmy award winning TV series, starring John Goodman, Billy Graham, John Denver and Chuck Norris.
I'm trying to think of some kind of catchy titles for it to go along with the main character's fetish for nazi regalia combined with women's underwear. Here's a few:

a) Armbandgeddon.
b) Jackboot Frill.
c) Ironcross and Suspenders.
d) Mother Goosesteps.
e) Knicker elastic swastik.

Mel Brooks should be the director. Sentient start getting the script ready.

 

Yanks swastika pranks

 

As a Canadian citizen who was born and raised in the U.S. and who refused military service there, let me comment.

World War II (der zweiter Weltkrieg) was not a joke. It was started by the German leaders (ignoring Japan for the moment) and was not subject to a vote by the German people, who were not in a democracy at that time. Most of the German soldiers who fought were conscripted (drafted). The objective of the war as far as the German leaders were concerned was to destroy civilization and enslave as many foreign people as possible, seizing their lands or in some cases establishing alliances with foreign traitors such as Quisling, Mussolini or Franco. All Germans who resisted and did not flee were imprisoned, unless they were shot like Stauffenberg or forced into suicide like Rommel.

In order to prevent the Nazis from destroying civilization, hundreds of thousands of English, Russian, American, Polish, Serbs and other nationalities fought to the death. They were shot, drowned, burned alive or froze to death, or killed by Luftwaffe air raids. All of them would have preferred to live in peace, work, make love and raise families, given a choice. Millions were murdered in concentration camps.

If your great grandfather was in fact a Nazi, I don't feel sorry for him at all.
