VAGARY
(period drama)
Period piece black comedy
1895 cinema
John Cleese type character…barker for vaudeville and then nickelodeons
First guy in state that has a movie house
Barkers in beginning did foley sound for early silent cinema
So this guy is enthusiastic barker
And plays piano and wife plays piano for doing sound
This barker tries to do character voices including women… the crowds think it is absurd… they jeer
One day… rogue filmmaker shows up and approaches barker
Rogue filmmaker has controversial reels that he wants to exhibit
Has union buster violence movies, oversees cannibalism, oversees cruelty against indigenous, interracial kiss
Barker agrees at first to show the films
Goons show up to destroy the film reels… kill the rogue filmmaker
They abduct barker and take him back to Edison
Edison finds barker useful with his enthusiasm… offers to give barker support for running a network of nickelodeons in new York
Nickelodeons seedy… kids skip school, daytime drunks, molesters, prostitutes
Catholic legion of decency intervening
Barker is disgraced… goes back to his town
He tries to revive his theater… but can’t get it going
So does pornography
Chased out of US… catholics burn down his theater… goes to France
Tries to do produce and direct legit film… but with shift to artisanal production meant no go with Gaumont and Pathe
So falls again
Lives in brothel on top, movie house on main floor… aging… documentarian shows up to film him… and sound film now
So throughout the movie… films are silent… but now the film of him has sounds as final shots

BLACK ROOSTER
(tragedy drama)
Somnambulist
At his university graduation he collapsed on stage while receiving his diploma
Now suffers from a condition where he sleep 23.5 hours a day
Extreme case of self-induced comas
There was a journalism-psychology student at the graduation that saw it happen
She decides to do a documentary on him
She approaches him
He has to get everything done in 30 mins that other people have all day
He has to do quick workout, shower, eat, toilet, reading, writing, and buys a lotto ticket
So he doesn’t have time in his routine to let her interview him
But he does agree to the documentary being made around him
So she learns about him through the doctors, family, friends
As she starts to get to him… his routine expands through moments together
Now he is awake for an hour
She is having the impact… he is engaged with her and it’s almost like he forgets to go back to sleep
She is a positive distraction
As time goes by he can start to stay awake for a few hours
New activities in the routine… can spend time with family… with friends
Although he collapses still while out
But time is expanding for him…
Then hits a wall and regresses… sporadic (because he missed the lotto ticket… subtle cue)
She tries to think of new ways to stimulate him and keep him distracted
She organizes a meeting with old uni buddies at the bar
Positive experience
She is catching feels
He always buys the lotto ticket…
She comes onto him… her romance is working to get him out of his slumber
But then she discovers he had a lotto ticket that won… she destroys it
She thinks that the ticket win would ruin everything
He always plays his numbers
He realizes the ticket was destroyed
He falls asleep while they are arguing
He goes back to the old routine… and it’s over
She has to give up. Parents ask her to leave
She can do her dissertation with the documentary
She defends her dissertation and follows up… he wasn’t waking up and had to be moved to a hospital because he’s in a coma… family thinking about pulling the plug
(The Whale influenced… so sonambulism should be linked to trauma…)

ELEPHANT MAN INTERVIEW
(tragedy drama)
Guy and girl thinking they can start a job as image consultants
They put out their ads and pitch the project to their parents
It seems like a weak hustle
They will help shy introverted people so they can learn to market themselves
They think they are stylish and cool but they aren’t trained
They get no interested parties
But then they get an email… man won’t reveal his disability but explains that he has difficult time meeting girls or find any job he wants
The pair are curious
They meet him somewhere public… he doesn’t want to… but they urge him
They meet at busy coffeeshop
He has protean disease… elephant man… on head… down into neck and shoulder
He has good personality
Works for his uncle in an autoshop
He talks about his disorder and then his goals
The pair act like they can help but they are nervous about it
They feel that their image consulting firm could take off if they are successful with this guy
They take him shopping for more stylish clothes
They invite him out with their own friends… they warn their friends
They take him to bar and try to get him to talk to women…. Goes badly
The pair can’t think of what to do… they talk to people that could employ him, but when shown a headshot… the employers decline… jobs that would help him socially because face-to-face with clients
However, our guy starts going out on his own to parks and uses some of the new skills
He meets a girl that isn’t great looking herself and who is interested in him
They are dating but it isn’t romantic yet
They go to medieval times… and do places where they are less judged
The problem… he didn’t find her attractive
He tries the bars again but goes to dives thinking that the easy women might work for him
Doesn’t go well… kicked out by patrons, but then bartender kicks them out and welcomes our guy back in
Our guy starts hanging out at that bar and the bartender suggests the local stripclub as a more friendly place after more altercations at the bar
He goes to stripclub and is approached by man who says he is an amateur pornographer that focuses on fetish stuff… midgets, scat, etc.
He wants our guy for a porno
Talks him into it… way to get laid by super hot chick
When he is on the set… nervous but he shows package to the girls and they nod approvingly… kinda surprised
He is making pornos and doing coke with the crew and stars
Starts doing themed stuff… toxic avenger or nightstalker
Pimp bf of porn girl charges in on set and beats him while he is coked up
He is hospitalized
Image consultant pair show up
Porn producer shows up and threatens him… shows true colors
The ugly girlfriend shows up and stays with him
They help him back home… she spends time with him
Image consultants have new idea about how to help him… he doesn’t want it
He is still hooked on coke
One day the ugly girlfriend comes home (she has been taking care of him) and he has one of the porno girls over fucking her and paying her
Ugly watches in hiding
She then confronts him about it and he chases her off
The coke kills him after sex with the hooker… she noted it and roots around for his money stash and robs him
Final shot… just him dead and naked in bed

FAILING UPWARDS
(tragedy drama)
Alan is on cellphone on the street. He is being told that his life insurance coverage has lapsed because they didn’t get his payment
He acts cordial, but wants more details on his account. They need his numbers
He becomes livid… says he is on the street and didn’t commit that info to memory
He smashes his phone in anger and realizes it has been destroyed
Alan goes into a small indie cellphone store and looks around
He is outraged by the prices
The clerk is Asian
Alan rants about China
He begins smashing up the store
The clerk tries to stop him and he ends up hurting and knocking out the clerk
He spots a Chinese restaurant across the road
He drags the man across the street in broad daylight with witnesses and then down an alley and in through the back of the Chinese restaurant
He tries to do the “bit of cheese” excuse to gawkers
He puts the body in a dumpster for the restaurant and then goes into the restaurant and eats a meal
He starts an awkward conversation at the end about gratuities
He leaves out the backdoor even though they try to protest
A kid on his bike is in the alleyway and sees Alan trying to pull the body out and leave it at the back of the restaurant. He leaves money on the body. Alan is looking deeper into the restaurant to see if the workers have noticed him.
The kid reaches in and grabs the money and rides off
Alan chases the kid
Kid makes it home and tries to tell mom about psycho pursuing him
Alan is outside knowing he is in the right area but trying to figure out which house has the kid
Mom doesn’t believe the story about murder at the Chinese restaurant
She calls one of the son’s friends and talks to their mom about it to see if it is a prank
The mom realizes the son isn’t lying and goes to call the police, but Alan Newton busts in
He hangs up the phone
He lectures her with a rant about parenting and the matriarchy and feminism
His diatribe becomes weird as he starts to talk about sexuality
“we could be filming a porno right now. Do you know that? A filthy motherfucker video”
The woman is super scared. Son hanging onto his mother scared
Alan realizes he crossed the line and tries to excuse himself
“just to say that the world these days rewards two strangers fucking for no good reason”
Mom panics and runs for knife in kitchen
Alan gets cut but disarms her
Now he is chuckling and lecturing her ironically vis-à-vis his previous rant
Son picks up skateboard at front door and runs at Alan and hits him with it
Alan is down… mom and son escape
Alan stays in the house to recover and makes himself at home
He gets a drink from the fridge and sits on the sofa and watches tv
A minute later the cellphone rings and it is the police
Alan is flippant with the cops
They tell him to stay put and that they are sending a unit
He keeps watching tv for a moment and then gets up calmly and investigates the rest of the house
He goes upstairs and sees the son’s room… snow globe homage and he takes a metal object and pockets it
He leaves the room and looks around and walks back toward the stairs
Police have arrived outside and are speaking with the mom and neighbours
Police enter the house and call out
They see the door to the basement is swung open
The two cops look down into the dark basement… pregnant pause
The close the door and Alan is standing right there calmly
The cops jump scare
The cops have their hands on their guns but the guns are still holstered
Alan doesn’t seem threatening and is being perfectly polite
The cops are serious and they want him to get on the ground to be handcuffed
Alan’s demeanor shifts and he thinks the cops are being rude
Cops don’t like the tone
Son comes in the front door and calls out about the murdered body
The cops are distracted
Alan uses the moment to run
He flies out the back door
The cops pursue
Alan is jumping fences to escape
He gets around the corner and there are a group of people protesting with pickets
Their jackets are on the ground in a pile
Alan grabs a jacket, puts it on and blends in with the protestors
Alan figures out what the protest is about
The protestors are climate crisis activists and they have glued themselves to a piece of corporate art on the street
Alan conjectures with one of the protestors that it makes more sense to glue to the front door of the CEOs for the companies that are destroying the environment… then the media cover it and everyone sees where those bastards live
Cops have arrived (booed) and talk to leader of protestors… cops ask if he sees someone that doesn’t fit
Leader does see Alan but doesn’t rat him out
Cops work through crowd but don’t spot Alan. Tense, but protestor insults cop to distract
The leader approaches Alan and pulls him away to buy him a coffee at a diner
They converse and the leader wants to know why the cops were searching for him
Convo becomes ideological
Leader is ideological and wicked but Alan can’t relate. He just wants a just world
They argue and the leader leaves… stiffing Alan with the bill
Alan informs the waitress he won’t pay for what the leader had
She isn’t cool with it. She calls in the chef
Alan stabs the waitress with a fork when she tries to stop him from leaving having only paid for his coffee
The chef pushes forward to get Alan and throws a punch, but Alan positions the waitress to take the punch
Blood everywhere
Chef is distracted and caring for waitress
Alan leaves
The cops are getting off a bus and Alan times it well to get on as they get off
Alan rides the bus and shuts down some ghetto hustle
He gets off the bus and everyone applauds him and thinks he is a civic hero
He enters a police precinct casually and grabs a keycard from the front desk which isn’t being attended
He goes to the lockerroom and grabs a uniform from a cop that is showeing
He grabs a taser and is curious
He leaves the station in uniform
He walks to the subway and gets on after lecturing a homeless man
He inspects the taser like a noob… makes onlookers nervous
Then harassment on the subway and people call on him to act
He wants to be left alone
He gets pressured so he breaks into a rant
He is now more than eager to do their bidding of the people just to show them that they can make some else get them their pound of flesh
He approaches the problem on the subway and begins tasing them
People are shocked… but he keeps tasing (guy taking a shit maybe)
Subway doors open and Alan exits… people ran ahead of him to call in police
Alan punches himself in the nose twice to generate blood
He takes a knee and when the cops arrive he points them toward the subway
He arrives at his ex-wife’s house (known from photo he had that he had looked at a few times)
Ex-wife answers the door seeing through peephole Alan in uniform with back turned
She is in a rush to pack a bag and acts as if the cop at the door must be a police escort she called because they warned her Alan has gone mad
She hasn’t looked up yet to see that it is Alan
Then she does and is terrified
“we weren’t even married, we were common law. Different expectations”
“but same responsibilities!!!”
He forces her upstairs and throws her on the bed… seems rapey
He rummages through her closet and grabs a white outfit that will pass for a wedding dress
He is forcing her to take her vows again
“you have to have a plan”
Alan is acting sure of himself but he is unraveling
He forces her to put on makeup and uses the makeup and does a terrible job
She is grotesque and her tears are smudging her makeup
Alan is annoyed
Alan shakes her
Then he looks at her and lets go… he puts his head in his hands
She tries to escape
He catches her at the top of the stairs
He is on top of her… still ranting
He talks about gender identity politics and what ifs on role reversal
This makes him tear her clothes off and he puts them on himself
He smears her makeup onto his face
He spits on her and rubs the makeup and then rubs it from his hand onto his face
She struggles and now he holds her as the big spoon and starts to act like things are romantic
Very cringey as he talks lovingly and reminisces on an old fight they had when they were together
Police officer burst through door and can see Alan and ex-wife on the ground at the top of the stairs
He slowly moves up the stairs with his gun trained on Alan
Alan reaches in his pocket and pulls out the metal object from the son’s room
The cop thinks the flash of metal means it is a weapon
The cop shoots Alan through the forehead
She is silent and then scream in horror and won’t stop screaming
(tragedy drama)
Alan is on cellphone on the street. He is being told that his life insurance coverage has lapsed because they didn’t get his payment
He acts cordial, but wants more details on his account. They need his numbers
He becomes livid… says he is on the street and didn’t commit that info to memory
He smashes his phone in anger and realizes it has been destroyed
Alan goes into a small indie cellphone store and looks around
He is outraged by the prices
The clerk is Asian
Alan rants about China
He begins smashing up the store
The clerk tries to stop him and he ends up hurting and knocking out the clerk
He spots a Chinese restaurant across the road
He drags the man across the street in broad daylight with witnesses and then down an alley and in through the back of the Chinese restaurant
He tries to do the “bit of cheese” excuse to gawkers
He puts the body in a dumpster for the restaurant and then goes into the restaurant and eats a meal
He starts an awkward conversation at the end about gratuities
He leaves out the backdoor even though they try to protest
A kid on his bike is in the alleyway and sees Alan trying to pull the body out and leave it at the back of the restaurant. He leaves money on the body. Alan is looking deeper into the restaurant to see if the workers have noticed him.
The kid reaches in and grabs the money and rides off
Alan chases the kid
Kid makes it home and tries to tell mom about psycho pursuing him
Alan is outside knowing he is in the right area but trying to figure out which house has the kid
Mom doesn’t believe the story about murder at the Chinese restaurant
She calls one of the son’s friends and talks to their mom about it to see if it is a prank
The mom realizes the son isn’t lying and goes to call the police, but Alan Newton busts in
He hangs up the phone
He lectures her with a rant about parenting and the matriarchy and feminism
His diatribe becomes weird as he starts to talk about sexuality
“we could be filming a porno right now. Do you know that? A filthy motherfucker video”
The woman is super scared. Son hanging onto his mother scared
Alan realizes he crossed the line and tries to excuse himself
“just to say that the world these days rewards two strangers fucking for no good reason”
Mom panics and runs for knife in kitchen
Alan gets cut but disarms her
Now he is chuckling and lecturing her ironically vis-à-vis his previous rant
Son picks up skateboard at front door and runs at Alan and hits him with it
Alan is down… mom and son escape
Alan stays in the house to recover and makes himself at home
He gets a drink from the fridge and sits on the sofa and watches tv
A minute later the cellphone rings and it is the police
Alan is flippant with the cops
They tell him to stay put and that they are sending a unit
He keeps watching tv for a moment and then gets up calmly and investigates the rest of the house
He goes upstairs and sees the son’s room… snow globe homage and he takes a metal object and pockets it
He leaves the room and looks around and walks back toward the stairs
Police have arrived outside and are speaking with the mom and neighbours
Police enter the house and call out
They see the door to the basement is swung open
The two cops look down into the dark basement… pregnant pause
The close the door and Alan is standing right there calmly
The cops jump scare
The cops have their hands on their guns but the guns are still holstered
Alan doesn’t seem threatening and is being perfectly polite
The cops are serious and they want him to get on the ground to be handcuffed
Alan’s demeanor shifts and he thinks the cops are being rude
Cops don’t like the tone
Son comes in the front door and calls out about the murdered body
The cops are distracted
Alan uses the moment to run
He flies out the back door
The cops pursue
Alan is jumping fences to escape
He gets around the corner and there are a group of people protesting with pickets
Their jackets are on the ground in a pile
Alan grabs a jacket, puts it on and blends in with the protestors
Alan figures out what the protest is about
The protestors are climate crisis activists and they have glued themselves to a piece of corporate art on the street
Alan conjectures with one of the protestors that it makes more sense to glue to the front door of the CEOs for the companies that are destroying the environment… then the media cover it and everyone sees where those bastards live

March 2018… Syrian ISIS coming across Iraq border
US military squad… patrolling Iraq-Syrian border around Euphrates river
One of the soldiers walks over landmine
Triage
They get in their trucks and drive down the desert highway
They find an isolated gas station
They are hustling the station attendant for certain supplies
10 yo boy shows up strapped with explosives
Intense… all guns trained on boy… commander gets them to lower guns but one soldier will not
Injured dude has died… it distracts and the soldiers turn
Kid runs but guy who wouldn’t put gun down is on him
Kid runs into desert and there is hidden cellar down for bunker
Kid runs in pursued by overenthusiastic soldier
Then explosion inside bunker
Others were just behind and avoided brunt of the blast
They dig out bunker entrance
Find the dead bodies
And find intel that suggests stockpile of weapons in a cave just across Syrian-iraq border
Walkie talkie in bunker still working and someone calls from Syria
Carefully going into Syria… in trucks but across desert
Soldiers search out cave and find it and it is empty of terrorists but has weapons stockpiled
Some soldiers go get the trucks
Trucks get loaded with the weapons
As they are leaving jeeps come around filled with IS gunmen
Trucks are chased back to Iraq and stop at isolated gas station
They are sieged at gas station
Night fall and IS manage to grab one soldier who went out to shit
The other soldiers realize and give chase back to Syria…
They are led through a minefield that the IS had set… truck is blown
They bait the soldiers with the captive ally… and soldiers pursue on foot
The soldiers decide they have to stop pursuing until daybreak
Day comes and the soldiers continue carefully through the minefield
They lose one and the IS are alerted
The rest have to fight to get their guy back but when they get to him there is a goat drinking blood which trails back to his propped body on a chair and disemboweled
Only three soldiers remain
weapons trucks are being driven back up to the cave
three soldiers push up to ambush
fight their way into the cave and kill everyone but two die
last man standing then checks and realizes the weapons cases are empty and that the cave was bait for foreign soldiers and that is why they were putting the munitions cases back. There had only been one case on top of piles that had weapons
last man standing emerges from darkness of cave into the daylight
army helicopter flies by
it was bait to create media scandal of US soldiers going into Syria without permission
then led to April 2018 Iraq airstrikes against Syria

And find intel that suggests stockpile of weapons in a cave just across Syrian-iraq border
Walkie talkie in bunker still working and someone calls from Syria
Carefully going into Syria… in trucks but across desert
Soldiers search out cave and find it and it is empty of terrorists but has weapons stockpiled
Some soldiers go get the trucks
Trucks get loaded with the weapons
As they are leaving jeeps come around filled with IS gunmen
Trucks are chased back to Iraq and stop at isolated gas station
They are sieged at gas station
Night fall and IS manage to grab one soldier who went out to shit
The other soldiers realize and give chase back to Syria…
They are led through a minefield that the IS had set… truck is blown
They bait the soldiers with the captive ally… and soldiers pursue on foot
The soldiers decide they have to stop pursuing until daybreak
Day comes and the soldiers continue carefully through the minefield
They lose one and the IS are alerted
The rest have to fight to get their guy back but when they get to him there is a goat drinking blood which trails back to his propped body on a chair and disemboweled
Only three soldiers remain
weapons trucks are being driven back up to the cave
three soldiers push up to ambush
fight their way into the cave and kill everyone but two die
last man standing then checks and realizes the weapons cases are empty and that the cave was bait for foreign soldiers and that is why they were putting the munitions cases back. There had only been one case on top of piles that had weapons
last man standing emerges from darkness of cave into the daylight
army helicopter flies by
it was bait to create media scandal of US soldiers going into Syria without permission
then led to April 2018 Iraq airstrikes against Syria
KONCENTRATION KAMP KIDS
(war drama)
In Nazi concentration camp during WWII
Jewish youth gang in the camp as prisoners… but they resent their own people… blame them
Embrace nazi ideology and put it out there to hurt the older jews
They are skinhead gang
Graffiti for nazi, tattoo for nazi, they target rabbis
Nazi soldiers at first don’t know what is happening… and commander is angry at his own soldiers for doing petty stuff
Soldiers explain it isn’t them and reveal it is the kids
Kids are starting to feel safer as suckups… even though they have found an escape
Kids don’t go to showers because commander finds them amusing
Kids gang leader does use escape route and gets in panzer tank and then just joyrides
Soldier who knows it’s him… grabs him without killing him
Kid gang leader taken somewhere separate… torture?
Other gang members keep doing their antics
Gang leader quoting Mein Kampf… seems genuine to commandant
So they let gang wear nazi uniforms
Set up desks and chairs in gas chamber… gang members teach nazi ideology as mockery
Commandant has his own ideas… believes beautiful girls are mistaken to identify as jewish… they are European because jews are ugly by nature
Commandant has harem in basement of his main building… he invites soldiers and he lets the girls pick
The girls are happy to choose good looking guys and that they are treated well because of what the commandant believes
But a soldier that is always rejected by the girls plots his revenge
He lets one of the gang members know about the girls
that gang member is livid and betrays nazi cause and turns on his gang… he is tortured… removes the tattoos etc.
Gang leader genuinely angry when he finds his buddy dead with tatts removed
Gang Use their access to grab weapons and lead revolt… standoff for the elders. But gang use it as distraction to get out of camp
Four make it out
Two die quick
One dies after a bit
One dies decades later to survivor showing up and poisoning gang leader in his apartment and facing him
