Ever thought today's movies suck? Think they could've been conceived by a hamster? O.K. then. Here's your chance to come up with a movie plot idea of your own. Just post your ideas in general terms...don't get too wordy, you know this group! We'll let you know if your plot idea sucks or not. Then you won't have to get embarrassed in front of a bunch of Hollywood weinies. Just these weinies. I'd prefer if these were serious movie ideas instead of jokes--of which I know I am guilty. But, seriously, let's give this thread a shot. Here goes mine:
Freed--My actor choice would be Gary Sinese as Cleveland disc jockey Alan Freed, the guy who coined the phrase "rock 'n roll." The whole early bebop and rockabilly thing could be conveyed, along with the payola scandals, and his risks at introducing black music to a white audience. The WABC story, his movie appearances, and his later shunning by radio stations could be included. With the right writing, this could be a good one.
