Based on random things I saw in my apartment:

Sheep, mushrooms, and orange.

It's less of a show/movie suggestion, and more of a prompt. :-)

[chrryblssmninja.livejournal.com]

"Every time my brother comes here, he first talks about his sheep. Then he brings me more mushrooms. Don't they grow anything else on that farm by now?"

"Are they hallucinogenic?"

"The mushrooms, no. The sheep, maybe, the way he talks about them.

"Any truffles?"

"Do you think I'd still be living in this apartment if my family got truffle money? The best I could do the place was get those bright orange bedsheets; all the white walls and shadows are killing me."

"You could be creative. I've seen livelier cupboards."

"Oh shut up. You're a slob and I'm letting you stay here, here in a place where I can't even put a full sofa."

"Think of me as your...I don't know. Your 'Can't Get Worse Than That.' Whenever things get bad, you can just look at me and say, well, it's a bit alright, can't get worse than him."

"I thought I was supposed to call you best friend."

"Oh. aww. I...I have nothing to say to that."

"Don't. My rules, my orders."

"Yes, Cap'n."


I'm trying to think up casting right now. Thanks for the prompt!

show: Constant Connection

In 2025, the personal transporter is available for mass consumption, fitting one person (and an optional basket of goods) at a time to go anywhere its pair transporter is located. For twenty-something Jane, however, this device is quite the inconvenience. Trying to get a start in the city can be a bit more hectic when your family can come by at a moment’s notice.

The transporter works two-ways, so the person at the other end has to accept before any transporting can be done. So this can bring drama when one person calls and the other refuses.
Jane: Julia Ling (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1788146/)
Best friend: Russell Tovey (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0869871/) moved here at 15, genius that can’t fit in anywhere, basically lived with Jane's family in high school due to family business -> neglect

"We’re like Will and Grace, except I’m English and I like girls. Besides, I’ve seen her…bleeding. Yes she’s hot, but that’s a big turn-off at first sight."
"I don’t know how you’d live with a wife. Imagine buying pads."
"ehhh"
"Tampons."
"ack."
"Birth."
-grimaces-

The dad: Simon Yam (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0945189/)

Brother went to help stepfather‘s farm: Aaron Yoo (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1683094/)

Stepfather: Mark McKinney
Boss: Lee Pace, who tries to be a "cool" boss
Co-Workers: Sydney Tamiia Poitier (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0688624/)
Kett Turton (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0878141/)

"I’m just like my mother. Go for the white guy."
"No, no, if you really like them, I don’t think you can say, 'oh I like him because he’s white.' Plenty of us are quite unappetizing creatures."
"Sam Morton."
"Football -American football -player. Appealing until he called you 'exotic.'"
"Nate."
"Another fine player of American football."
"Martin."
"Not an athlete, but still a very charismatic fellow."
"Tobias Gra…Gro…Gruu?"
"Ah, Tobias von Gezundheit. You American girls are so weakened by different accents, I must say…" -pats chest proudly-
"Aha. That was one girl. Okay, Gary."
"That boy from college you talked about? Well, better an arrogant bookish fellow than an arrogant hippie, far as university choices go. Different range of odors."
"I’m betraying my race."
"Could be preference, not prejudice. I myself have a preference for tall, leggy women."
"You are tall."
"Compared to you."
-Jane slaps him playfully-

Oh, very creative! Hope that prompt entertained you!

[chrryblssmninja.livejournal.com]

thanks! I somehow got Julia Ling's and Russell Tovey's voices in my head and I went from there

Because I ♥ the stuff you come up with

[secret-weapon.livejournal.com]

1. It was a dark and stormy night.
2. A photograph
3. Computer programmers!

Go!Go!Go!

[PS: sorry I forgot abt your party post this w/e x_x. I spent most of it writing and it slipped my mind completely until just this second.]

Two computer programmers are sneaking in after hours to play a prank with with a funny picture of a coworker. It's a dark and stormy night. While putting the plan together, one programmer finds something suspicious about the other. When they get out of the building, that programmer acts upon the information. A game of blackmail and manipulation begins.


sorry this was late, I was sleepy...I'm thinking a film more than a TV show. Reply to this and I'll put the cast together.

Re: Because I ♥ the stuff you come up with

[secret-weapon.livejournal.com]

Oooh nice! It sounds like it starts off all wacky adventures and then turns all noir

Re: Because I ♥ the stuff you come up with

[chrryblssmninja.livejournal.com]

thanks!

I'm thinking the programmers should be Misha Collins and Paul Dano. They can do comedy and noir, and throws an age-difference factor into the mix.

Re: Because I ♥ the stuff you come up with

[secret-weapon.livejournal.com]

Oh my god yes!

And someone with a really good *deadpan!face* should play the programmer they want to play the prank on...

wait, this is your game, not mine

I shall be quiet now

Re: Because I ♥ the stuff you come up with

[chrryblssmninja.livejournal.com]

nah nah it was your suggestion you can put info in all the time


hmm, John Oliver (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1056659/) first came to mind, he has good deadpan!face

[realproof.livejournal.com]

haha. forgot to comment last time. so....

1. concentration
2. corkscrew
3. caves
(4. cocks)

[chrryblssmninja.livejournal.com]

Two men compete and concentrate (in a hyper, "should I get a ruler?" -#4!- kind of way) with corkscrew drills to drill for mining.

The men: Callum Keith Rennie and Dule Hill.

medium: film

Is this okay?

[realproof.livejournal.com]

callluuuuuuuuuum.

sorry, what were you saying?

bwahaha Dulé and Callum would be awesome together.

[chrryblssmninja.livejournal.com]

hee

yeah, I can imagine them being all competitive

[vulcangela.livejournal.com]

I just want to say that I love your kitten/cat icons. ADORABLE.

anyway,
I've always wondered why they don't make enough films about classical music/operas; everyone's on the broadway/modern dance bandwagon these days.

[chrryblssmninja.livejournal.com]

aww thanks! This one's by wicked_signs.


I know, now would be the time!
One of my dream projects would be to make a film version of the 2005 opera Doctor Atomic. There's a lot of superfluous stuff that can be cut to feature-length. But I think it's a great treatment of the story - it's about the testing of the atomic bomb, when the world could have actually ended if something went wrong. Big operatic historical story right there. Kitty Oppenheimer basically becomes a mad Cassandra figure in the second act. There are several great roles for singers (yes, I'd want opera-trained people, the music's too complicated)

Plus, amazing stuff can be done visually, even more with the possibilities of film - but not overboard, just so that people can get a better picture of the mechanics and busy-ness of Los Alamos that contributes to the character's feelings.

this is from the NY Met production:


yeah, that's my idea.

I think select operas (ones that can survive cutting/editing to film pace and length) can translate very well to film.

[secret-weapon.livejournal.com]

Oh hai!

OT but they've started this reality show over here called POpstar to Opera star where pop stars have to learn how to sing opera.

It's pretty silly but now I can't get enough of Opera music. I've been listening to Largo al Factotum all weekend.

It - er - made me think of you.
