UltimateMarvel wrote:It's a little controversial and the timing is not right to release something like this. No need to fuel conspiracy theories going on right now. And the part about the dad being "Mother Nature" bit, why should a man play the role? The mom should play that role, why should a man play the biggest role? The title could be better so it's not unoriginal. The focus group would never pass something like this. We would have to rework a lot of this to give it the green light but the way it is now is garbage. Don't call us, we'll call you when we're ready for a script like this.

WyldeMan wrote:Damn man, that pitch took me almost five minutes to come up with on the spot. What kind of changes would be necessary?

WyldeMan wrote:So what you're saying is that May Upfronts will not be headlined by All in the Family Bunker? That's disappointing.

I do have a half dozen other projects in my company's pipeline, including several modern and timely remakes of early to mid 2000's tv shows.

UltimateMarvel wrote:The non-gender binary idea really won us over. We might be able to squeeze it in to the May Upfronts. If you have any gold projects like this in the future, please don't hesitate to reach out to us.

Damn! I could see this being a real pitch for a show these days. lol

Your focus groups are full of mouth breathing fucktards. People don't change! They stay in the same place doing the same things forever until they die.

Here's a series pitch for ya, it's a sitcom in the vein of Blast from the Past/All in the Family with a modern day twist about a family of youtube vloggers all with their own mysterious pasts who go into their backyard bunker at the start of the COVID-19 virus outbreak because the father believes the Chinese have attacked Ahumirca and it's the end of the world.

We see the family through their shared experiences on their channel where they learn and teach new skills as they grow their self sustaining life and underground community together in wacky bunker situations every week and hilarity ensues.

Around season five we will reveal that there are actually a network of tunnels connecting their bunker to hundreds of other bunkers all over the country and we'll get to meet new paranoid and dangerous characters that will introduce problems into the family life before we eventually learn the network of tunnels was actually part of the very conspiracy that drove them underground in the first place.

The big M Night Shamalan series twist would reveal that our beloved father figure and patriarch of our family was actually the head of the conspiracy and that's why his family survived so long.

But in the series finale, we find out that everybody in the world is actually dead from the virus including all the other bunker people due to an infection of the very virus that wiped out all the "surface dwellers" and that our bunker family are the last people on earth because "dad" released the virus in the tunnels. I say "dad" in quotation marks because in a further twist it will later be revealed that dad was actually "Mother Nature" in human form and was "resetting" the planet for a fresh start. The remaining few survivors of the family stay in their bunker and never leave and humanity dies with them. I call my series "All in the Family Bunker" and my series would run ten years and 200 episodes.

I'll be expecting your call.

I get the feeling everything is going to look like a fuckin Zoom meeting before long. SNL just did it this weekend and I read yesterday that American Idol is going to continue its season entirely from home. The judges and 20 contestants, they're just going to cut back and forth to shitty home cams and air it live on national television like every teenager with a youtube account suddenly got a tv deal. That seems like sloppy madness to me but I don't watch the show so it doesn't really matter.

I just worry that if this pandemic doesn't start to lesson soon the future of all tv is going to look like a fuckin table read....

During the airing of the final season, Lars Von Trier makes a standalone movie sequel called "Father", in which the remaining siblings - being brother & sister - actually didn't die, and began to repopulate the planet via incest. It's also revealed during an end credits scene there was one other survivor: A 600 year old man who saved all the animals.

Disney immediately buys the IP rights for $37billion.

This prompts rumours of a new cinematic universe. Disney confirms, and calls it: "AD (After Dad)".

San Diego Comic-Con, the largest fan convention in the United States, has officially been cancelled amid concerns about the ongoing coronavirus outbreak, Comic-Con International announced Friday.

The cancellation marks the first time in SDCC’s 50-year history that the event will not take place. The convention will instead resume at the San Diego Convention Center from July 22-25, 2021.

SDCC also announced that individuals who purchased badges for Comic-Con 2020 will have the option to request a refund or transfer their badges to Comic-Con 2021. All 2020 badge holders will receive an email within the next week with instructions on how to request a refund. Comic-Con’s official hotel affiliate, onPeak, will be cancelling all hotel reservations and refunding all deposits made through them.

“Extraordinary times require extraordinary measures and while we are saddened to take this action, we know it is the right decision,” said SDCC spokesman David Glanzer. “We eagerly look forward to the time when we can all meet again and share in the community we all love and enjoy.”

The organization has also cancelled the fan convention WonderCon, after initially postponing it in March. The next WonderCon will be held from March 26-28, 2021.

San Diego Comic-Con holds the Guinness World Record for being the largest annual pop culture festival in the world, with last year’s event drawing an estimated 135,000 attendees from more than 80 countries, as well as more than 2,500 media personnel from more than 30 countries. California Gov. Gavin Newsom, however, issued a statewide stay-at-home order in response to the pandemic on March 19, which is not expected to be lifted anytime soon.

Earlier this month, Comic-Con International said it remained “hopeful” that SDCC could still take place in 2020. “We understand how difficult the current climate has been for all of us and appreciate your continued support through these trying times,” the organization said at the time.

WyldeMan wrote:DAMN! This just ain't right. I really enjoyed the original which has stood the test of time after nearly 4 decades and remains an 80's classic cause it's hilarious and very of the times but a pop musical remake being narrated by the mom now played by Alicia Silverstone telling a flashback story to her daughter like some Edward Saladfingers bullshit?!?!?!

Dammit Abe, how could you? LIKE TOTALLY!!! HOW COULD YOU?!?!?!?

WyldeMan wrote:I think it was back in the first week that of this ordeal that I mentioned we wouldn't be seeing any Con's again for some time but since I know some of you guys go, I figured I'd post the official notice about it.

I was shocked to read that SDCC is 50 years old, I always figured it started in the 80s.

WyldeMan wrote:Well it is important that New York stay the dumbest mother fuckers in the country with an infection rate that equals half of all cases in America. My state was the first in the country to get hit hard and yet we're still sitting at around 10k infected all these weeks later and New York is somewhere north of 350k.

Can you even go outside anymore Joey?

What are those crazy bastards doing digging mass graves on an island for infected corpses? Burn those bastards!!!

I like to give Rust shit for his prison colony but damn Joey, what the fuck are your people doing up there?

joey con carne wrote:People here in NY did not take any of the warnings seriously. As you guys know, I've been working from home since the last week of March. That's when the coronar was going crazy and then the schools were closed and restaurants were stopped from opening for eat-in dining.

The people in NYC took that as a free vacation. They were having picnics and barbecues in Central Park and wherever they could. The keeping distance order was ignored. People gathered everywhere to relax. The weather was exceptionally warm so no one stayed home. The coronar infections skyrocketed.

Also, the MTA (subway and bus authority, in case anyone doesn't know) is run by a bunch of brilliant minds with multiple PhD's. Did anyone here see any news about what the NYC MTA decided to do? They decided to run trains once every 45 minutes instead of the usual five or ten minutes. So instead of helping people keep distance, they decided to pack the trains as much as possible. Every single train was like a heavy rush hour train.

NYC is filled with retards. I had a feeling much of NYC was retarded but now I know for sure.

Damn! But if you have negative balances with your account, naturally the bank puts the money you put in towards it. Not fair but that's how it works. Feel sorry for those that this happened to.

WyldeMan wrote:They're talking if you owe money, a loan or any outstanding balance to the bank, not just for overdrafts like you're thinking. It's just a way to make sure the banks get taken care of before the American public but that has always been the go to move of our politicians and everybody else on the payroll of the banks. It's why they pay lobbyists all that damned money.

Trump is retarded but he is the lesser of two evils.


Did you guys hear about the new iPhone SE? Woot woot. Gonna be picking that up as soon as we all start going back to normal. That is, once I start commuting back to work. Gonna be so much betternthan using this iPhone 6.

Yeah I only ever buy one every 2-3 years, and even then it's only because I fuck them up. My last one got so damaged I had to bash the shit out of it so it would stop randomly calling people - then it caught on fire

Yeah that was it. And when I got my new phone I dropped it and cracked the back 2 days before my protective cover arrived.
