Following guidelines

On reflection, and after a couple of beers, I realised this post was a pile of crap. Repetitive, unimaginative and an insult to everyone's intelligence, including mine.

Instead, I'm giving you a sneak preview of our next film. The first title was "They flew to Bruges". But that was too derivative. It's now called "Vive la résistance". Lexie made a sten gun yesterday. We're just about ready to go. All we need is a script.

Usually Lexie does the writing. It's my turn now. I didn't realise how hard it was. This is what I've got so far:



Vive la Resistance!

The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame etc with French accordion music in the background.
The caption "France 1940"

Hitler screams and waves his arms around then the Panzers roll forward to the sound of Blitzkrieg Bop


Scene 1

A small group of men huddle around a table, drinking wine.

Barclay Perkins, British secret agent, is speaking in a coarse whisper.

. . . . .



I suppose I need the odd bit of dialogue. That's just a detail. I've got an impressive-sounding name for the hero. What more do I need? Barclay Perkins is surely enough.
