Recommended Book

Writer's block? Out of ideas? Try The Official Movie Plot Generator by Jason and Justin Heimburg (2004). The pages consist of three vertical panels which can be randomly flipped to create over 27,000 plot combinations. The top panel describes a setting and protagonist; the second panel describes an action or conflict, and the third panel adds a little spice.

Some blockbuster movies of the future may include:
  1. A flamboyantly gay hairdresser travels through time in order to pay off a gambling debt.

  2. A burned-out hippie hits the karaoke circuit with a wise-cracking robot.

  3. An ancient and powerfull wizard becomes a nanny for a conservative aristocratic family in 1954 Baltimore (based on the Pulitzer Prize winning novel).
