Sometimes I like to think of a title and write a story/poem/song around it.

Anyone do the same?

I have a great title for a book / film, but need to work out a story and invent some characters. That's all.

"The Morning after Yesterday's Night"

Like it.

I have the first two sentences:

Trevor ceased to be Trevor as he stopped breathing by the riverbank on that misty Sunday morning. But just before that he was alive.

I have an idea for a film which involves the gruesome discovery of a body in a saxon burial mound in Wiltshire. An artifact found beside the remains is inscribed BEWARE THE PASSING OF SUSIC.

I think my star cast would include Julie Andrews and Christopher Plummer, and the title would be..............

...............THE MOUND OF SUSIC

Spa Wars?!

All about internal rivalry between various of Spa supernarkets, could star Julie Walters (well she's in nearly every other British film ever made so yeah) as a Spa manageress, add a third rival in one of those little corner shops run by a little old asian bloke (and I say that with the greatest of respect for the asian community, I am NO racist), and you've got a great British possible comedy about rivalries within the British retail industry.

Daft idea probably but it could work somehow.

What about this for a book title:

Advanced Gardening tips and Basic Cookery.

I can almost see it in Waterstones on one of those promotional tables.

My title is 'USB' - in the film a spy takes photos on a digital camera and hearing guards coming, he removes the memory card from the camera and quickly inserts it into his shoe for safekeeping.

Later he gets on a commercial airline and spotting a fellow spy on board, reaches to take the card from his shoe and pass to his colleague so that the secret info that will save the world gets into the right hands. But a sky marshall, fearing that the spy is a terrorist, shoots him and he ends up in Guantanamo Bay. Rest of film is how foreign powers go into the heavily guarded US base, rescue the guy and chip, and save the world.

Yay !:thumbsup:



There could be openings for some Sheffield Forum regulars in my film, not sure who yet but the evil women [to help sell seats] would include 'Ying the merciless' [think of Lucy Liu in Kill Bill], Starchild [evil looks] and SatanInHeels [evil name].

I'd have a cameo appearance, and say 'Sheesh' at some point, Mosherchick would be seen moshing as only her pinkness could fill that role, whilst the Gingers would also feature but shooting will have to be delayed whilst beards are grown again. No sock sniffing in film though, as it may not pass the censors :P

Open to suggestions for other characters, and who will be the main spy character....
