I (Also) Wrote That Crap

Ah, there's your fantasy element!

I really, genuinely like the idea of Bottlenose, as I too have a fascination with the way Dolphins are such impressibly huge assholes. As far as I can recall, Bottlenoses actually have to be separated from other dolphins at aquariums, because otherwise they will fucking beat the shit out of them.

Trekkie sounds like it would be a great comedy movie.

Beaver just sounds suicide-inducingly painful.

 

[Jiefu]

I feel like, with a little rewriting, The Trekkie could actually be a good B movie. The other two sound like they could never escape being labeled ripoffs of Orca, though.

 

[RA92]

I feel with the end bit with the sword fight rewritten, Trekkie could be great.

And Beavers need to happen in all its glory!

 

[Lunar Templar]

throw me down as well for 'Trekkie' sounding like fun, cause it sounds like fun XD

 

[Roggen Bread]

Dear Bob. Beavers needs to happen.


I loved every word of this one.
Even or, well, ESPECIALLY "It's DAM scary".

With a team that just knows how to make GREAT trashy films (like Black Sheep or Piranha 3D) this would be a blast.

 

[Mortamus]

In full agreement here. I truly would love to see The Trekkie show up on Kickstarter.

Bob,
This could be your time to shine with campy, nerd culture movies.

 

[Moth_Monk]

Here's another +1 for "The Trekkie." What better time to have it come out than when J.J. Abrams is making Star Trek films and a new Star Wars is in the works.

 

[008Zulu_v1legacy]

It's probably best that Bob sticks to reviewing movies instead of making them.

It's funny you mentioned that one about the Dolphin. I can't remember the name of the movie, but back in the early 90's (I think) there was a comedy movie, where one of the sub-plots was that a company was making a movie in the area about a giant dolphin that had rabies.

 

[The Last Melon]

To be perfectly honest ... I think I'd watch The Trekkie for its flat-out hilarity.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one that had this thought.

 

[TwistedEllipses]

The Beavers one sounds delightfully goofy in vein of many older giant creature features, like rabbits, shrews, rats, etc. The Bottlenose one though sounds like an actual film (or be it Orca/SYFY in tone) and made more sense than 'Deep Blue Sea'. Personally I would call in 'Dolphiend'...

People like Bottlenoses because they look like they're always smiling, right? You know who else looks like he always smiles? The Joker.
And as interesting as Trekkie sounds, you'd have to get a metric fuckton of people on board with this to use their intellectual properties in the story, and it could have some Unfortunate Implications about us geeks to "normal" people (using the "People Are Dumb" Principle). Unless there's a message about fantasy vs. reality and how the vast majority of us geeks are quite pleasant people, in which case, green light that. Any of you other guys recall that CSI episode with the murder taking place at a STAR TREK knock-off convention?

I expect that to be some cosplayer's prop weapon if Trekkie gets made.

 

[search_rip]

as I read the article part of me was thinking "Dude!!! I have monies, let's make these happen, all of then" but alas I'm poor haha but you know, I think "Beavers" is actually a great idea for a B-Campy movie... let's Kickstarter it

 

[faefrost]

Sadly, in today's world SYFY probably would have bought and produced those scripts.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

As people pointed out, The Trekkie could actually make a really funny comedy horror thing. I don't think you could do it too seriously though...

 

[pearcinator]

I would definitely watch The Trekkie but it reads more like a black-humour comedy than a horror movie.

The Trekkie actually sounds pretty awesome...good luck with getting the rights to use the IP's of Star Wars, Star Trek, Dr. Who etc. I don't think they would come cheap considering the 'message' of the movie (crazy fans of popular sci-fi are homicidal).

However, Bottlenose sounds too similar to that one horror-themed mini-episode of The Simpsons

[PunkRex]

Well the big screen might be out of the question for these (much to my dismay, seriously Beavers sounds freaking awesome) but have you thought about maybe making some sort of comic annual, with short comics based on your stories. You could sell it on the site, hell id buy it, you could get your fans to draw them *hint, hint*. Seriously, you see this sort of 'pulp silliness' all over top shelf comic racks.

 

[GameChanger]

Honestly Bob?

Sell it as a tongue-in-cheek movie and Beavers could be a massive gigantic hit in cinema's.

Ok maybe not that, but I'd still watch it.

Ooh, the Doctor Who Fan should have all their bones broken so that they could be reduced to a Jelly Baby!
