Have you any crazy ideas which you fancy being made into films?
I sometimes imagine a cross between Home Alone and AvP. A kid (and maybe his siblings and family also) is trapped in a real large house (with an equally large basement maybe) into which a few Aliens and Predators happen to have found their way. The bright and resourceful child draws upon every appliance in the house at his disposal to handle the nasties -- maybe lure an Alien larva into a microwave oven, trip a Predator or Alien down a long flight of stairs, make an Alien stick his head into a washing machine and turn on the power, frighten a Predator away by showing him his own face in a mirror etc. :D

I wouldn't mind a drug junky battling cross bread aliens with zombie mutants from beyond the grave :D

There you go. If you think "avp alone" is crazy then you are lightweight :P
A movie where the 3 best heroes ever fight alongside (or against?) eachother for a cause! These would be Zorro, V and Eric 'The Crow' Draven ;)

A new, R-rated Home Alone movie, where Macaulay Culkin plays a sociopath who lives alone, a gang of bumbling thieves want revenge for what he did to them as a kid and he sets up every sort of weapon to hurt, harm and maim those thieves in every possible painful and bloody way.
A movie where the main character, a 9-year-old boy, is told about pedophiles by his father, so he steals his father's shotgun and runs around the city to kill everyone over 18 because he thinks every adult is a pedophile.
A Superman parody where the main character, a frustrated nerdy journalist, acquires superpowers and goes around being a super-******* to have his revenge against the people who caused his frustration.
A Star Trek movie where Picard realizes that everything that happened to him since Star Trek: Generations wasn't real and he has been trapped in the Nexus ever since. In desperation, he calls for Q to help him. Q says that the only way to get out of the Nexus is to have his own powers, so he grants Picard his powers. After that, Q doesn't leave, instead he sticks around Picard being an omnipotent dick as he always was, so Picard and Q start a battle that soon escalates to planets being destroyed, stars being destroyed, galaxies being destroyed... At the end, everything disappears and the REAL Q appears in front of Picard, offended by the fact that Picard IMAGINED him to be such a dick. Picard tries his Q-powers against Q, but they don't work, because he remained in the Nexus for the whole movie and essentially imagined everything, while only now the real Q appeared. Q tells Picard that if he wants out of the Nexus he just needs to say please, so Picard does and finds himself in the real world... WITH Q'S POWERS!!! The last thing Picard does is to ask himself whether he is actually out of the Nexus, then the movie ends.
A movie where the main character, a UFO nerd, has devoted his entire life to collect clues that would allow him to infiltrate Area 51 and see whether they actually keep aliens and flying saucers there. When he starts thinking seriously about taking the plunge and actually infiltrate Area 51, he starts having creepy dreams about dark corridors where alien bodies are kept inside water tanks. One fateful day, he reaches Area 51, and, with the aid of all the clues he collected, he successfully infiltrates it. Pretty soon, he realizes that he dreamed about the very same place he is now seeing. When he reaches a hangar where a flying saucer is kept, he is captured by the military and brought to a facility where his memory of this feat would be erased. As he is strapped to a bed, he hears the soldiers talking about how this is actually the SECOND time he infiltrated Area 51 (so his dreams referred to the first time he had been there), and erasing his memory would be useless because he has been obsessed by UFOs for his whole life, so he would start collecting clues again and infiltrate Area 51 a third time. They note how he made drawings of aliens even when he was a kid, so they decide to implant a false memory into him instead, based on those drawings. They want to implant the memory of a false close encounter into him, so he'll believe that what he fantasized about as a kid actually happened, he'll be sure that aliens exist and he will have no reason to infiltrate Area 51 again. When they scan his brain to locate a possible position for the false memory, they discover that they cannot implant it because he ACTUALLY had a close encounter as a kid!
They decide to just shoot him in the head, but as soon as a soldier loads his gun, the whole facility is enveloped in a white light, while the roof is ripped off by a UFO hovering above. The soldiers and the protagonist are transported aboard the UFO, where the aliens order the soldiers to release the man. The aliens tell them that they planned an invasion of Earth when the protagonist was a kid, but when they abducted him, they found something unexpected and worth studying: human emotions. The protagonist and the aliens made a pact: he would let the aliens implant a transmitter into his brain to be in constant contact with them and be studied constantly, and he would never tell anyone about the impending invasion; in exchange, the aliens would protect him and posticipate the invasion after his death. The aliens release the soldiers and the soldiers release the protagonist, and it seems that everything has ended well.
Fast-forward to the future, when the protagonist is cryogenically kept alive inside the Area 51, in a constant dreaming state, to avoid the invasion. The machines that keep him alive are very old, and that's the precise moment when a circuit fails, the protagonist dies... and the invasion begins!

Gee, AR, it seems your ideas for films contain a lot of frustrated or deranged characters...

Yes, it's a kind of characters I find especially fascinating because they usually have an altered vision of reality ;)

Mine is a monster movie where somehow certain bugs have mutated to be really big but not gigantic. so a mosquito has like a 4 foot wingspan and can suck the blood out of your neck. cockroaches are even bigger and incredibly fast, even a shotgun wont take them out. I'm just not afraid of Hollywood monsters anymore but something about those blowup shots of bugs freaks me out.

The most disturbing movies are about believable psychosis in humans.

A movie where the protagonist becomes the one who killes the current one.
Well okay, I stole that idea from Aeon Flux...

While we're on the subject of Home Alone...
Home Alone 4... Maculay Culkin is now all grown up and due to some bizarre chain of events, he ends up having to team up with the Wet Bandits to achieve some kind of much-cliched pro-holiday goal.

Fixed :D

That would be Home Alone 5. Home Alone 4 was made in 2002, with Mike Weinberg as Kevin McCallister, and it's set between the first and the second (or something like that)

*blink* They must've done a lot to market that one... this is the first I've ever heard of it. I'm assuming direct-to-video?

I really like the first half of it :D (until they want to kill him...)
