Sorry about the last couple of days.

I've actually been kind of busy and haven't had the time to do my normal 18 hours of sitting and thinking.

After a quick trip to V-Town and then actually heading back to work, I've been distracted from this site.

But never fear, I am now ready to blurb again. If that is indeed the correct term. Which I'm sure it is not. But I'm okay with that.

Anyway, I'm pulling out a topic that I've been holding onto for a while just in case that I lose my focus or get a job.

And that topic?

Ten Movies That I Want Made

These will be in no particular order. All of these films I have hoped for years would get made and as you read through this you will find that nearly all of them are Sci-Fi, Fantasy or Comic Book in origin.

Because those are films people clamor for. At least people like me. Actually, now that I think about it, most people clamor for these kinds of films. Because they are awesome.

You don't see people screaming for a sequel to 'How Stella Got Her Groove Back' or 'The Notebook 2.'

What they want is having things blow up, girls flopping about and loud noises. And those are the films that I want to see made. You should too.

If any of these ideas are something that you have not heard of, I highly suggest that you Google these items and realize just how brilliant I am.

Here are my ten films...

The Death and Life of Superman
Based off of the comics from the early 90s, we find that Superman has died while defeating a nearly invincible foe. What transpires next is the world without a Superman and the subsequent appearance of four others that either claim to be Superman or are just trying to carry on his works. Both the comic series and the novelization were fantastic to follow and offers all of the requisites for a super hero film.

Shadows of the Empire
A story that tells the tale of what took place between 'The Empire Strikes Back' and 'Return of the Jedi' in the Star Wars universe. And...it...was...awesome. Great new villians. Intriguing new heroes. Action and intrigue and all the glory that Star Wars once represented, before George went just a little nutty. By combining the elements of the graphic novel, the video game and the novel and totally engrossing film could have been made.

Half-Life 2
Yes, I realize that this is a video game and no good video game to movie translations have ever been made. But this story that is woven here is completely incredible and sucked me in for days on end. And it gave me a few weird dreams. Trust me on this, look up the game and see just how creepifying and exciting it is.

Star Wars 7,8 and 9
What the Star Wars universe needed was a sequel trilogy, not a background story to be told where we all knew what happened in the end. We needed fresh new stories and a universe that was still left to be explored. And the 'Thrawn Trilogy' by Timothy Zahn would have been perfect. Just like Shadows of the Empire, the most fresh characters and plot lines have come from writers other than George. Again, we have great villians and some fun new heroes and even a little sexual tension for our lone Jedi, Luke Skywalker. And any time that a Jedi can get jiggy, you've got to make that into a movie

The Legend of Zelda
I've only really played one of the games for any period of time but the stories that appear in these games are something of a sight to see. An evil dude, a princess and an unlikely hero. I guess this film would pull in fanboys of the series, fantasy nerds (like me) and role playing fanatics by the droves in the first month. Pure and utter monetary gold.

A Serenity Sequel
I know that there are a very limited number of Browncoats out there, you know, those people who liked Firefly and Serenity, but the characters that Joss Whedon created were almost instantly glued into your brain. I realize that many of these people now have other solid gigs in life but don't think for a second that they wouldn't come back for a sequel.

An Alien vs. Predator Movie That Doesn't Suck
Two of the most iconic movie villians in the history of science fiction and they couldn't find a way to make a movie that didn't have the stench of poo. Get a good writer and get the damn job done. And then get a good director and get the freaking job finished. I know who should write and direct this film. Me and Samo. That is the way it is.

A G.I. Joe Movie That Doesn't Suck
I haven't seen the new one yet I'm fairly confident at some point that I will. And I'll probably feel the same way that everybody else I've talked to about this film. That it raped my childhool memories with a pogo stick. It isn't that hard to follow the comics, not the cartoon, and pick out some great story lines or some great character backgrounds. This needs to be re-booted and I mean pronto. Again, I know who should do this one. Me and Bradley.

The Incredibles 2
Because it should be made, dammit. They leave us with the perfect jumping point to a new movie. They weave a group of characters together that you actually like. They tell a story that is both exciting and still laced with humanity. Why has this not been done yet? Why, people, why?

There you have it, just a few films that I want made. Let me hear the suggestions.

Tomorrow, I shall be discussing how to re-boot the economy and have every family in America makes millions from the comfort of their own homes.

This is Pete...

Over and out.
