Screenplay
I am excited about an idea I've had for a few weeks about a screenplay. They seem easy enough to write and mine is moving along nicely. Not even a working title yet, but it is set in the not-too-distant future and the main plot line involves America's acceptance/acknowledgement of what I'm currently calling 'Virtual Sex Lairs'. Why cheat on your wife when for a nominal sum you could have virtual sex with a cutting-edge version of Madonna (actually the license on her 'profile' would probably be high)...how about your third grade teacher--back when she was still your third grade teacher; or the chick at the Pizza Shop down the road. The idea is that the technology maps out millions of things--scents, sounds and shapes of the real deal. And then you re-experience a close enough approximation that you are happy with.
It is really going to deal with the pros and cons of this type of hedonism (will it cut back on prostitution, divorce, etc...or will it just be another vice to throw on humanity's pile). I'll check back with you on this one in a couple of months. Started it the weekend of Thanksgiving and I have set a deadline to check in on the first draft around 2/1/10..we'll see how that goes

- I once cooked a hamburger for Joan Rivers. Actually, I thought it was for her, but she ended up feeding it to this little toy dog she carried around with her. I suppose I have to leave it up to you to decide whether that is noteworthy. I also almost drowned as a kid--for some reason I remember less about that story.

I love this idea. One question: if my 3rd grade teacher is still my 3rd grade teacher, does that mean I'm still in 3rd grade? Because that's weird.
ReplyDeleteGreat question MC. However, in the few moments I've just now spent contemplating a 3rd grader having sex I feel creepy and it is a bit awkward so I will simply punctuate and slowly back away.
