I'm SURE we had a long, probably uninteresting, discussion of fish heads WAY BACK in the day.

 

Lori, AiO...do you remember this?

This the ultimate example of needing to read a thread in full; post by post. Some funny stuff.

 

Though, the simple phrase 'pickle juice' can be a thread killer so please use sparingly.

 

Note to self, be on look out for fishead story lines. I will try to cull a few ideas from daily life and pass along to ieatcrayonz........either that or stay far far away from future posts by him/her.

 

fun time, eh?

Didn't H.P. Lovecraft already do something with this?

 

Will it have Rachel Weisz in it?

She is about the right age and seems to be getting a reputation as a popular actress. She could replace Nevv. I really can't get carried away thinking about actresses until I can get the script in front of the right people.

 

As for HP Lovecraft I don't think he should work on it. He sounds like a porno guy and although there is some sex it is not a porno. If I get desperate I may ask you to contact him. At least this way the movie could have more than one happy ending.

1. I'd need a Ouija board, because he's dead.

2. I really like Rachel Weisz.

 

I understand the dilemma though. But be careful. I had a good idea once and CTM stole it. Now he doesn't even know what the thing does.

I re-read this thread andI guess I should have put in more detail if I was to expect constructive advice.  I don't want to give away the whole story but

 

There are missing jewels.

It is a port city

At various times there are fish hauls entering the port from sea.

Fish heads start being spotted all over town and they are clues leading to the jewels. 

At the critical turning point a fish head is actually seen drinking cappachino in an Italian restaurant with an oriental woman.  It is a twist that would take a long time to describe.

My advice is when you pitch this story leave out the part about the fish head drinking cappachino in an Italian restaurant with an oriental woman. Trust me, those Hollywood vultures always steal the best ideas.

But the capachino thing is a key turning point. It is seminal to the story. Seminal in the dictionary sense, not the Lovecraft sense. How do you let them know, without letting them know?
