Airports- and I know, I've promised a review...

But I'm really tired. And it's almost one thirty. So this is me just blogging to count the day- even though Blogger is being mean and saying it's the sixth already. Argh. Whatever.

Anyway. So I drove to the airport to pick up JC today. It occurred to me on the way that aside from Terminal, I haven't seen any other movies dealing with the setting of an airport. I guess it's because for the most part people are coming and going through the airport- not hanging around it. Even people who come in and out frequently- business fliers- probably don't think all that much of their surroundings.

What I'd like to see is a two hour movie about people stuck in an airport by crummy weather or a catastrophe (natural or manmade). 

Requirements: 

1. No one focal character, but a group of four or five whose stories intersect in a creative way. 

2. No superpowered characters. In fact the more powerless they are the better- like if the power goes out, or if they can't get cellphone reception. But seriously- show me the college student trying to get home for break, the businessman still jetlagged from a meeting in Tokyo, the aspiring actor using the last of their savings to get somewhere for an audition, etc. etc....

3. Their experience has to change something significant about who they are, for good or for ill.

4. Keep it PG-13 or lower.

5. No sap.

6. A clear message of some variety is required, beyond "O'Hare is cursed and that's all there is to it."

So if any movie-makers are reading this, that's my challenge.

What else? I briefly contemplated seeing how far I could get on 200USD, but I decided it wouldn't be a good investment.

And I talked to MG today! She says I should apply for jobs in her area of PA. I'll have a go, if I don't turn up something here by the end of the month. Though I don't know how I'll afford it. Never in my life have I been more in need of some luck, and never has it seemed in such short supply. Oh well. There's more to it than luck. Obviously there's a lesson here that I'm failing to learn. Wish I knew what it was... Once I get it, I'll probably be able to get a job...

Anyway...

Tomorrow, hopefully, I'll post my review of Kontroll and some more pics from the Memorial Day party. Yes, I still have more. I was camera-crazy, remember?

Oh, and Nico is now SuprNico. I don't know how I didn't think of that one before.:D
