Movies I Would Like to Make: More...

Bloodless Coup - Political comedy-drama where everyone gets fed up with the sitting President and takes over the 'White House." Could be any country. ahem.

Cactus in Your Armpit - this is mostly from a hallucination I wrote down. Something to do with not putting a cactus under your armpit and teaching one's sister German from a five inch German to English bible. But by doing so, you are making her retarded. Pathos will inevitably ensue.

This last one is more serious: I call it Slow Hole to China. Here is an excerpt:

... The company could afford only 34 days off a year for any employee. Though, Cassie went missing for more than a month, she was actually doing company business. That particular bit of business was for her to set up a "hole to China" office in the federal government super structure. What she actually built, did something else entirely. It would periodically, through its scan resistant programming, plant false information. That false information, always starting at infinitesimal, slowly over 4 to 4.3 years to disintegrate the system. After that, all the work that had been done with the system it will amount to absolutely nothing. So even the accurate information inputted into the system is now wrong. Because Cassie and the company would be obviously implicated, they made sure Cassie only supervised the physical construction of it, not its software or how or when and why it got its information. What the Federal Government will never find out is that the physical construction has the built in 'infinitesimal' wrong information. So the structure itself provides the 'hidden' built in 'software.' Which is actually hardwired and not software at all but a feature of the structure, "the Slow Hole to China."

As soon as other software gets uploaded and the system implemented, the problem* will be there. Right at the same time the first button is pressed to implement the government sanctioned software. So, even if they discover it, right away, they will think its the software. So, they will try new software and again the problem recognizes the difference and now, will 'find' a blind spot to start its unraveling of the system.

So, what do you think? The last one is a work in progress and looks to be either short story material or even novel or novella material. Who knows?
