A movie idea
I have an idea for a great movie. A blockbuster. The CBC is reporting that a pod of killer whales is trapped in the ice of Hudson’s Bay. Imagine going up there with chainsaws and cutting a series of holes in the ice, leading the whales toward open water. For a climax, we could get an icebreaker…
Oh. Somebody already had that idea. And they made a movie with Drew Barrymore. And the whales escaped? Then that’s good enough. We’ll do a remake. Hollywood likes that. Plus, this time around there’s a real pod of whales in need of rescue. Reality!
Unless we get a great actress involved (Catherine Zeta-Jones?), those poor whales will have to figure out their own escape plan. No time to wait for a movie crew on this one. At last report, the polar bears are already circling.
In other news, there is a movement underway to “upgrade” the token set in Monopoly. I didn’t realize that anyone took care of “tiny problems” any more. I guess some grandparent tired of explaining what those mysterious objects represented (other than a choking hazard for children under the age of two, who shouldn’t be playing board games). While the movement is underway, how about upgrading those green houses and red hotels? I have never seen a Hilton that was that small. Ditto for the rents. Have you checked the price of housing recently?
My big telephone changeup from yesterday and today worked! VOIP rocks! Now to make the various telephones ring randomly, or in cascade. I know it must be possible.
