3.5 Brilliant Ideas in 1 Hour
The hour it took me to get home, I spun four words around my head: billiards; tractors; chart & wagon circle. They were arrived at via a camaraderie of sophisticated old cunts. And various potions.
And as I approached home, I concentrated on keeping those thoughts clear and present, because walking through doors tends to push the delete button of recent things.
I kept them, and while I still had the barest consciousness, I elaborated while my/those memories of thoughts still existed….
Billiards Man – think Jim Carrey remaking The Hustler (starring Paul Newman). Billiards Man comes from nowhere and wins every game he plays at great, profitable odds. Yes, billiards. Everyone who knows snooker and pool has heard of billiards. Some don’t understand it. They’ll come see the movie.
Is he a robot with AI? Is he a child prodigy from Russia who was kept in isolation training for decades against his will? Or is he someone who has found the best concoction of alcoholic beverages and illicit substances to hit the sweet shot for hours on end?
Pirate Tractors – hold onto your hats, a whole new sci-fi-fantasy genre! We live in a simulation, but a fucking good one. Every thought everyone has, creates a new Yes/No timeline. Infinite universes. On top of the infinite, the AI that runs the simulation has whimsy. And when the weirdest shit comes out of the mouths of babes, the AI chooseth to make that its own special timeline.
So we enter a world when a kid trying to say chiropractor said “pirate tractor”.
A bunch of kids, in NZ, 50 kms from the coast so they feel landlocked, watch the latest Pirates movie, and decide to make a pirate ship from a tractor.
But wait! In their earlier years they were forced to read a book about a bear (right and wrong, socialist/wanker). That bear killed his enemies in the nicest way he could imagine. The kids kill all that confront them except we never see them die and there’s a good chance they didn’t.
It becomes a movement and grows in size (more tractors)
Until they reach the steps of parliament.
Slut versus Partner for Life / Age Chart – Two charts, one for 24 and one for 52, showing the age of a woman on one axis, and their propensity to be on the slut / partner for life spectrum. This is the 0.5.
Wagon Circle. Predictably the Box Office winner. An underdog sports movie in every way except the sports bit.
Homeless people form a wagon circle, just like the …. of the Wild West.
Police can’t interfere because it is classed as a domestic structure, and without being at an actual address they can’t.
It becomes a movement and grows in size (more shopping trolleys, yes, figured you were confused right now…)
Until they reach the steps of parliament.
(maybe a side story about the manager of shopping trolley management (UK)).
Probably throw in some class stereotypes?? A Scottish movie like this had a Trump type.
Tilt the story to suit any colonisation or ethnic uprising story the executive producer feels is important.

It was my 5th brilliant memory of the night.
Through palm trees, glitching signs for cigarettes except that’s not a thing any more
Gutters mostly leaves
Memories are the dreams of a future we
And the other way around also
My dreams save me
