So it's a song about what someone wants for Christmas, right? But get this: they don't a material present. Instead, they want to be with their significant other, whom they are separated from by some vague circumstance. That's what they want for Christmas, that's the twist. Why are you looking at me like that?

People of the board, good morning. I think you'll be quite pleased with my proposed radio ad for your sales event. I think you'll find it's quite unique. You see, in this radio ad, there are two voices. One has been modified to sound as if it is over a phone, like a radio call-in show. The other has a normal voice, as were he the host of said show. The "host" exclaims that he is looking forward to the Tri-County Kia President's Day Weekend Sales Event. Then, much to the listener's surprise, the "caller" butts in and begins explaining the details of said sales event! And - here is the delicious twist - the "host" begins to ask incredible detailed questions about the sale to the "caller" about the event - they're phrased like questions, but they're really just a way of delivering more details, saving time while still maintaining the clever illusion of a call-in show. The "caller" confirms these planted questions, and goes on to give more details. It goes on like this for about a minute and a half.

THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is the kind of creativity you get when you hire A Plus Advertising. Any questions?

It's about a detective but here's the twist, he doesn't fill out all of the proper paperwork, get search warrants, check in with his commanding officer, and follow all of the proper regulations. He's unpredictable and he cares more about getting his man than following the rules. The police chief gets super mad when he finds out that the detective isn't following the rules, but guess what? He doesn't care and he keeps ignoring all of the rules. At times it seems like he's making his own rules but then he starts breaking those. Also he's an alcoholic and that has impacted his relationship with his friends and family. In some ways, the case is his only friend and his true enemy. Or maybe his real enemies are his inner demons, the two voices in his head... Jason and Ultra Satan.

The most exciting scene, to me, as a writer, is the scene where the chief demands that the detective turns in his gun and his badge. Can you imagine?

hey, why don't we just open the film with the main character waking up? we can do a slow pan across their room, to let people know what this person is all about. then the alarm goes off; maybe it's a wacky morning dj, maybe it's the classic beeepbeeepbeeep klaxon. then, their hand comes out from the covers to silence it, and the movie starts! people will relate to this, the waking up

Alright alright, the reason most movies about teens aren't successful with young audiences is because they're all about a bunch of average looking kids who only care about doing well in school. BORRRRINGG. Here's my idea: We make a movie with a bunch of smoking hot teen actors and it's all about them goofing off and trying to have sex with each other. Maybe we don't even put in a single montage about them studying for exams. Maybe instead there's a scene where the hottest dude in the movie takes off his shirt and he has the most abs.

WAIT, just had a great idea. Someone's parents are out of town and the teens have a huge party at the house in secret and there's beer there and the house is a total mess. Some people kiss at the party in a bedroom and it's very suggestive.

Those M. Night Shyamalan movies are successful. I've written a movie with a twist too. Listen to this.

The villain is a much stronger athlete than the hero. At the end of the story, in the final boxing match, the hero's going to lose to the superior opponent, right? Nope, here's the twist: the hero wins using his determination!

Segues.

What the world needs is movies with segues, segues of training, the protagonist uses unorthodox methods to train for the big fight. In... RUSSIA! Yes, he fights the Soviet Union's top boxer- and the Russian guy uses ultra-modern techniques and equipment to maximize his strength. Despite all that, and all the segues, the RUSSIAN GUY LOSES at the end, and does more for diplomacy and world peace than all the diplomats and good will in the world combined!

Let's get started...

but here's where it gets interesting, that thing that they did last summer that they thought no one else knew about... well, the killer knew also. The killer knows what they did last summer. That's the hook for the movie. OH also the killer has a hook. OH also maybe Dustin Hoffman is the killer or we can get Smee or Rufio in this bitch.

OK, so the villain totally has the hero on the ropes, right? Captured him, captured all his allies, he's toast. Except instead of killing him normal, he ties the hero to an unnecessarily complicated and slow acting killing apparatus, and--here's the key--he doesn't even bother watching to make sure it works! This will turn out to be the villain's downfall. I can go on, if you're intrigued.

what if we subvert the audience's expectations by having the villian offer a job to the hero as his second-in-command? like, he was actually a considerate dude willing to let a rival work alongside him to conquer the galaxy and enslave all living things. but then, whoa, tuck in to your Herman Miller conference seats, because here comes the double-subversion: the hero rejects the offer to become evil, revealing that he's a dipshit who's cavalier with his career decisions! pinch me darrell, I'm getting goosies over here

Ooh, this but, even better, it turns out the villain and the hero are blood related. The hero must now struggle with the shock of fighting his own family, the involuntary sympathy he feels for his family member despite them being evil, and the likelihood that he was only offered the job due to nepotism and not because he was truly qualified.
