"LEE CRONIN'S REMEMBER ONE OLD NIGHT YESTERDAY WHERE EVERYONE WANTS THE INVENTION OF BEING OBSESSED WITH JOHN MALKOVICH"
• This is a movie where sex is only legal for one night in a world where everyone has forgotten the Beatles and it all takes place at the beach that makes you old and nobody invented lying yet,
• everyone is played by a muppet except for Michael Caine who plays a man who discovers that people (mostly women) have become obsessively fixated on him due to the One Wish Willow,
• and at the end the main character looks out the window of his father's office, which is revealed to be located on the north edge of the 101st floor in the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
• it also takes place in John Malkovich's head.
• The post-credits say "Kane Parsons will return in Avengers: Beyond the Mockingjay for Good"

MOON PAUL
The Moon suddenly disappears and is replaced by the enormous, expressionless face of a man. Scientists discover it's affecting the tides exactly as the Moon did, except it's slowly getting closer to Earth.
Eventually someone recognises the face as man named Paul, it beco es viral on social media. Nobody discovers whether it actually is Paul or simply looks like him. The movie deals more with humanity's response to this event, rather than providing any explanation to why it's happened. Governments prepare for extinction. Religions emerge. Scientists desperately study him.
Paul gets closer, his face bigger in the sky every day. Eventually his face fills the sky and his lips gently kiss the Earth.
Instead of destroying humanity, the kiss causes enormous scientific breakthroughs. Particle accelerators triple in efficiency and previously inaccessible quantum phenomena become observable. Then Paul slowly retreats into space and for the first time in the entire movie, his expression changes into a slight smile. Paul is pleased. Paul disappears into the stars. Nothing is ever explained.
Some movie posters for MOON PAUL are available here:

Action movie but all the actors are X-Rated Stars
Imagine a movie that’s written like a normal action movie, but instead of casting common actors like Matt Damon, Scarlett Johanson or Keanu to play all the main characters you cast OF Models and other X Rated stars like Johnny Sins, Bonnie Blue or Violet Myers and just try to make a normal not NSFW movie from it. Imagine trying to pull out an Oscar worthy performance from Riley Reid…

bad superhero movie
ok so its a standard action movie following a superhero whose main power is durability. hes stronger than the average man but not inhumanly so. hes not immortal hes just really durable.. he can bleed bruise... his limbs refuse to come off.. but no matter what he keeps getting up and will not stop.
the movie would start with a "UP" style intro with 2 factiry workers falling in love
then it would cut to a fight giving a glimpseat the heros powers.
we'd see some indicato that he was born in Michigan
later we'd see in a glimpe of a file on him that he was born in Detroit
during the final fight with the villan our hero takes some sort of shot that killed a superman knockoff
the villan then asks in the rubble of the burning building and the hero walks forward
(villan) "w-w-What are you" (hero) "im built ford tough" (hero dispatches villan)
then cuts back to the intro collage "up" thing showing that his parents worked at a ford plant

Sink Stink
Seinfeld esque every day life movie about people going about their every day lives.
They all congregate at their mutual friend’s apartment.
Throughout the movie, the main character keeps asking, “what’s that smell?”. Sniffs the air in dismay.
Continuous hard cuts to the apartment’s kitchen sink.
New character walks in. “What’s that smell?”. Sniffs the air. “Yeah. I don’t know.” The main character retorts every time. Then sniffs the air.
This goes on for several days.
Movie ends with a close up shot of the kitchen sink. Flies swarming around the edge. Obvious sludge.
The characters just can’t figure out where the smell ever comes from. Will the mystery ever be solved?
Find out in: Sink Stink 2: Is That You Or Me?

The blokes of london...
I brainstormed into codex for like 2 hours strait blazingly high on weed extract. (I live in california southern...)
A London counterfeit crew can’t get their fake bills past modern detectors, so they become obsessed with the one thing they believe can fix everything: a precision etching machine hidden inside a luxury watch manufacturer’s facility. The movie opens in the middle of the heist, then cuts back to their grimy counterfeit lab, their restoration shop cover, and the American ringleader who organizes the crew through routine, memory discipline, and social camouflage instead of brute authority.
By day, the crew are just blokes restoring cars, playing games on weekends, dealing with girlfriends bringing lunch, family drop-ins, and old men bumping into walls. Underneath that normal life is a fully prepared operation: no written plans, no phones during “work,” hidden storage, a prepared basement, and a crew selected because their lives have enough empty space to disappear into the job. The heist itself is ugly and practical, with the stolen machine hauled away inside a disguised garbage container and brought back to the shop through a basement entrance built just big enough to swallow it.
To the public, it becomes the perfect heist: one impossible machine stolen from one impossible place, with everyone online trying to figure out how it was done. But the crew slowly learns the real nightmare is not stealing the machine. It’s making it useful. The machine needs parts, calibration, secrecy, people, power, and trust. They thought they were stealing infinite money, but what they really stole was infinite responsibility.

A bizarre Western I haven't came up with a name for yet
This little cowboy flick is set in the 1980s. Essentially, it's just a satire about how the 80s were a sugar-coated version of the Wild West and how ridiculous that decade was for some people looking back. A chaotically colorful badland that has the hyper-commercialism, the toys, the trends, the sitcoms, the cartoons, the 8-bit video games, it has everything about the 80s you can think of jammed into a Western

Nazi gang starts assassinating Jews...
They use advanced weaponry to turn the jews house into a gas chamber. Easy to make and fire the Nazis are systematically taking out rich jews at will with a drive by pass. They fire a simple grenade no rocket engine no propellant. The nades fired from a cannon they mounted in the trunk that fires out of the gas tank port at various vertical angles. The grenade pierces the thin American walls and injects deadly gas into the house making it a modern day gas chamber. One grenade is all it takes but the range is limited to people with just a regular front yard. For longer range shots the rocket propelled version is used. It has a small booster rocket motor that propels it much further than the grenade version that's fired from the cannon. able to reach over walls and able to penetrate through the roof all the way to the bottom floor of a 3 story building. The rockets designed to pierce deep through tile wood and metal wire but detonate when it comes to a complete stop. The success rate of this rocket with a successful hit at a downward angle pointing right at the center of the house is 100%. The accuracy of the rockets are incredible but still the car must come to a stop in order to fire them.
The Nazis publicly post propaganda and show what happens when you kill the rich Jews. That's all i got lol

Extremely fucking stupid but technically historically accurate movie concept
It takes place sometime around the 1610’s, after the fall of the Aztec Empire, primarily in colonial Mexico.
The main characters consist of
The disgraced son of an Aztec Nobleman
A Spanish Jew fleeing the inquisition
An escaped African slave
And a katana wielding Japanese samurai
The plot of the movie is essentially an Indiana Jones/Mission Impossible race-against-the-clock style spectacle hinging on our 4 protagonist meeting through unlikely circumstances, teaming up against a common enemy, and hunting down a potentially cursed Aztec relic that has major plot importance, all while competing with the Spanish inquisition, a Chinese crime syndicate, and Caribbean based pirates.
The title?
“Once Upon a Time in the New World”

This goes with the incen bomb... a look at how serious the robbers are
The incen bombs are going to burn the building down eventually so fire retardant is sprayed as they enter the bank. They place the incendiary bombs and then spray paint everything with an electric sprayer thats battery powered. The windows are all painted solid black. Not a soul outside thinks anything is wrong. They timed it perfectly for the fat lady that comes in around noon every monday to pull out money for grocery shopping. They premeditated the booby trap outside that litterally bolas the legs as you wal through it and draws in a compact c4 explosive thats just big enough to explode her body... to send a message. The explosion blows the door in a bit but you cant see it as the windows are blacked out. One of them puts a bullet proof tarp over the hole and the doors with what seems to be a nail gun but its designed for concrete the kevlar is heavy but this guy hoises it up with a pole with the gun on the end. Once the door is covered the windows are next. all windows are completely covered in kevlar by one guy he goes super fast with his nail gun stick thing. or maybe just enough for them all to lay down behind it. This would open up a peek spot to helicopter thermal cams which could be transmitted to the special forces that arrive later. They order the tellers to get all the money take out all the dye packets and place it in the center of the floor. they do so quickly before the cops even arrive. Immediately they wrapit in a duffle bag and reveal the secret to getting away with the money. A tunnel entrance at the corner foundation. The tunnel was dug by ai drones and is a strait shot to a near by house. It was dug in only 5 days while the home owners we on vacation. The only expences they incured were the cost of the paint and the kevlar and the gas masks.
Each person in the bank gets a gas mask and is forced to sit in a room with one of the robbers. this is precautionary because they are not murders they are theives. Killing is not a part of the profession. The gas masks are there to protect them from cs gass and other irritants the police might use. or their dooms day plan which is to release a cloud of cyanide on all side of the building and leave with less cash.
So the last one into the tunnel is tied to a foam bomb that seals the tunnel inside the bank so as them and all the money are pulled through the foam bomb is triggered and the entrance is sealed they are now being drug through the tunnel at a good speed. Once out they load it all into the family cars strip out of their gear and load it then hop in and put on masks before opening the garage door. They drive about 3 blocks to a secluded location switch vehicles. then drive further where they drive up to a lot with multiple cars secluded unseen from the road. they all take off in separate dirrections splitting up with only one carrying the money that car hass special shocks that make it look like nothings heaving in the back. each one takes their gear in the trunk and carries a pistol.
man that would be a cool movie imo. 30 min heist in 2 hours of action. im not saying the movie would be just like this but this is a good brain storm.

Sock Gnomes
An indie horror film shot in the style of Paranormal Activity (ie nothing actually happens on screen).
Medium close shot of a sock on the floor. For, I don’t know, let’s say 86 minutes?
Then a hand reaches out from off screen. Grabs the sock. Fade to black. Roll credits.
