They Grow Big in Fresh Water


Well, maybe I was just sending the last two via Canada. That's similar to the dark side of Mars from a cell's perspective.

BTW, though it is just a test image, it is worth mentioning that passing one of these "lakers" is like the opening scenes of a space movie. Personally I've always wanted to make a short film with five minutes of the mothership scrolling through the frame... only to end up being pushed by a Yugo with rocket motors.

I feel your confounded looks... and I actively ignore them! ;)

I think a really good movie would be like a real action movie. In the so called action movies that are made now there is still something like 75% by time.

The way I imagine it... Short intro, maybe 45 secs. A guy goes to bed with his hot gf, no sex, just in bed with gf. He goes to sleep. Not a word is spoken.

He wakes up in what could only be considered the morning in a dungeon looking retro industrial underground kind of scene. His hands are chained together behind his back to the wall. He's clearly been roughed up.

Then the henchmen come to check on him and he fakes dead until they get close enough. Then he beats them up with his hands shackeled and gets the key from them. At this point we are about 3 min into the movie.

Then.. he has to escape the dungeon filled with bad guys and monsters and booty traps. So next comes about 47 min of of straight action, not a word is spoken. He doesn't stop longer than 30 to catch his breath, just kung fu, special effects, explosions, fight sequences and a few visual background effects to lend the hint of plot.

Then he escapes, rescues the girl and gets home. Then the last 10 min it slows down a little bit as the guy and the girl fix their wounds and get overwhelmed by sexual desire.

1 solid hour of action.

I left the word dialogue out of the first paragraph, should be right after "75%"
