If you were going to write a funny scene for a movie |
|
what would you write about? What would you like to see that you haven't or what mundane thing cracks you up in your mind but haven't really seen on the big screen?

1. someone trying to handle a feral kitten |
|
...since it's so tiny and cute, it must be sweet and cuddly, right? That would be the lameass's assumption upon reaching out for the critter.
At least, that was my lameass assumption last week. :eyes: My final transfusion is tomorrow.

2. about a president who is so stupid |
|
he walks around with his zipper open, he doesn't know simple world geography or is unable to recite common sayings, such as "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me." He is so dumb that he injures himself eating pretzels, yet the kicker to this movie is, most of the people in this country are even more stupid than he is because they see him as a strong, honest man.

3. I find moderately serious head wounds kinda funny... |
|
I find it highly amusing that the more severe a head injury is, the harder it is for the people present to recognize just how bad it is. Have you noticed this phenomenon?
You see, any minor smack on the head (such as a child clocking you with a hard plastic hammer) almost always produces an expression of pain, usually followed by a colorful string of profanity.
But a serious blow to the head (like one might get from a paint can falling from the top shelf) completely bypasses the pain expression stage, leaving the wounded to stand there like a bewildered zombie.
Here's an example...
A group of gymnastics students are showing off their abilities in mom and dad's living room. They proceed to fling one of their members high into the air slamming the poor sap's head right into the ceiling. Now, the blow is so significant that the victim cannot express any pain or shock whatsoever. He has not cried out or shown any sign that he's in pain, so you can hardly blame everyone else when they begin the post accident giggling that always follows a non-serious blow to the head.
The real tragedy, if you've ever been on the receiving end of the head blow, is that as the injured person you are quite aware that you have sustained a massive blow to the head and require medical assistance. You just have no ability to express this sentiment. You're forced to sit there listening to your friends giggle and relive the moment while the world spins you a concussion. Things usually conclude ten minutes later when you finally hear someone say, "Hey man... Are you alright?"
I'm telling you, there is much cruelty (and hilarity) in that sequence of events...
So, I would write a movie scene from the point of view of the hapless bloke suffering the head injury.
