Seymour Schmidt Tax Attorney

Seymour tends to his riveting job of tax law:

He comes to the office, has coffee
His first client of the day enters his office
They discuss tax matters
Papers are looked through
Client leaves
Seymour picks up his Dictaphone and describes the wildly interesting meeting as follows:
Met with client to discuss tax matters, reviewed papers regarding same. .6 hours.
Suddenly we flash forward to the near future where his secretary is listening to the recording outside his office. We zoom in on her computer as she types, "Met with client to discuss tax matters, reviewed papers regarding same. .6 hours."
Secretary takes sip of coffee.

Repeat 15 times.

Between client meetings things get really tense on several occasions such as when the printer needs an ink refill or one of the secretaries sees the window washer out of the corner of her eye and is startled for a second or two.



(That's kind of what my job is like.)

As a writer

I have to say some of these might actually have some potential.

A live-action film adaptation of Pokémon.

(This is a great thread ! ! Here's one I came up.)

After the success of the "Deep Throat" movie in the early seventies, a porn publisher (based on Al Goldstein) decides to remake The Wizard of Oz as an X rated musical. We follow his exploits as he attempts to sell the idea to financial backers, and goes through a lot of casting for the female leads (ahem). He actually gets ahold of funding, and starts filming, but the remainder of the money goes up his nose and those of the actresses and the dwarves he has hired to be flying monkeys with certain, (cough), changes to their costumes. He is sued by MGM, and at the end we see him in a run down New York apartment watching the few bits of the film he completed, while doing more drugs with aspiring porn actresses, and a comedian addicted to pharmaceutical painkillers who is inspired by the clips to film his own movie about a clown at Auschwitz.

a movie with no dialogue at all. no subtitles or talking or anything. just people doing things silently.
