Movie Ideas by Jonason Ho

Hello everyone,

I've been visiting this site for ages and I never had the courage to post. I've always been so intimidated by you guys. You guys are all just too crazy and smart for me.

So what kind of camera is everyone using? I saw a Canon XL1 on Ebay for twenty bucks! But the catch is -- it's radioactive! Apparently Pakistan used this camera to film its nuclear bomb test. And this camera has become obsolete since Pakistan switched to Panasonic DVX 100 for the fancy pants 24fps film feel.

Shall I buy this camera? Damn I wish somebody would sell a lead suit on Ebay for cheap.

Today I showed Karate Pate to a homeless street person named Carl in order to get some unbiased feedback. At first I was excited about his response because he said "Lad, that's real good work, a real visual feast!"

Then he said, "I've always wanted to be a filmmaker. I had a family once - a wife, a child, a career as Wall Street stockbroker. But I just couldn't stop drinking. It ruined me. Oh yes it sure did. The war didn't take away my life, the fishing accident, blah blah blah." Damn, that really pissed me off because obviously the fucker told me that he thought my film was "real visual feast" in order to have me listen to his drunk ass bullshit. What a fucking prick! I should have known. I mean the guy was telling me that my film was "a real visual feast" before he saw a single frame! He obviously was making stuff up.

Anyway, I hope everybody is doing well,

-Jonason




Summer Movie Projects

Hi everyone, the long hot summer is ahead of us, it's time to get back to making movies! Here are few awesome ideas inspired from the current box office champions.



Mission Impossible RV

Super-spy Ethan Hunt retires from active duty, rents an RV with his dysfunctional family to train new IMF agents. But he is called back into action to confront the toughest villain he's ever faced - a bizarre community of campers in the heart of Colorado Rockies - they are international weapons and information provider with no remorse and no conscience because they are orangutans.

Hunt assembles his team - his old-friendly-fry-cook Luther Strickell, transportation and traffic-safety expert Declan, and background-artist Zhen, to rescue one of his very own trainees, Lindsey, who was kidnapped while on a surveillance detail of the chief minivan.

It soon becomes evident that the minivan is well-protected, well-connected, and downright malicious, forcing Hunt to extend his journey back into the field in order to rescue his wife, Julia, uncover IMF double agents in the process and wins back the love of his estranged-adopted parents.


Stick It to an American Haunting

After a run-in with the law, Haley Graham is forced to return to the world from which she fled some years ago; "return" as in the literal sense of "time traveling!"

So she travels back in time, back to the years 1818, to enroll in an elite gymnastics program run by the legendary Burt Vickerman, located on the Bell family estate of Red River, Tennessee.

Soon after Haley arrived at the academy, an unknown presence starts to haunt the gymnastics programs. Starting with small sounds around the balance beam, and the sighting of a strange black wolf with piercing yellow eyes around the uneven bars, the sounds escalated into full brutal contact with the certain team members during floor exercise, causing psychological and physical torment and pregnancy.

Fearing that the haunting was caused by a local woman - whom was branded a witch- who might have put a curse upon the team as a result of being cut from the team thirty years prior, the coach tried desperately to find ways of getting rid of the woman's curse, yet the attacks and disturbances only escalated.

It was not until a manuscript of the local schoolteacher -who lived on the property during the disturbance-, was found in 1998 that the horrifying and shocking answer to what caused this haunting would finally be unveiled and Haley's rebellious attitude finally gave way to something that just might be called team spirit.


United 94

Director Paul Greengrass reunites the cast in this pulse-pounding sequel to the powerful hit of 2006: United 93. This time the passengers have one secret weapon up their sleeves -- snakes!


Akeelah and the Hoot in the Gate of Doom

A young girl from South Los Angeles moves to Florida with her family, where at first she was bullied by the local softball jocks. But they all become friends and band together to engage in a fight to protect a population of endangered owls. They hope to raise the awareness of the endangered owls by selling lemonade and making it to the National Spelling Bee final.

However, on the day Akeelah is due to be on the National Spelling Bee final, her best friend Mina is killed. Akeelah discovers geneticist Kato and Rey to be the killers. When they win the spelling contest they will be able to summon demons from beyond the `Gate of Doom` to grant them any wish, but darkness will fall upon the earth. Meanwhile, Mina becomes the Guardian of the Gate of Doom, and must out-spell Kate when he is killed. Akeelah enters the world of the dead to protect her best friend. Thanks.


King Lear: Death at the Bottom of the Sea

King Lear and his wacky daughters are back in this hilarious sequel!! While ringing in the New Year aboard the luxury ocean cruise ship Poseidon, a giant wave crashes into the ship and flips it upside down. King Lear and a ragtag group of survivors realize their only chance for survival is to make their way to the deepest bowels of the ship, where the Duke of Cornwall and the Duke of Albany are schedule to have a duel to the death!



I highly recommend getting this stuff done and post them on youtube.com before the Da Vinci Code hits theatre. When Da Vinci Code arrives, nobody is gonna pay attention to the internet bullshit movies for awhile. Let's get to work!!!





This is a debate that has been going around over the years among the independent filmmakers. Shall I use DV? or Analog? I hereby would like to settle this question once and for all -- the choice is obvious: I will take the analog system over the DV anytime, anywhere, in the woods, on the toilet!

VHS is the standard workhorse that has proven itself in the middle eastern battle field in the 80's. It was the favorite tool among the reporters who covered Beirut. It sits comfortably on your shoulder. It protects one side of your face from sniper bullets. It also has 400 lines of resolution. That's 380 lines more than a 20-line resolution! Furthermore, VHS also gives your actor that nice, warm, jaundice yellow glow.

Comparatively, dog vomit doesn't not capture any footage, the contrast range is close to none, and it's impossible to edit in neither solid nor fluid state. Most of all, it smells really really really bad. I don't understand why people want to switch to dog vomit over VHS. Overhyped? I believe so.

So there you have it. Don't buy into the media hype. Stick to your uncle's derelict VHS system. It will do you good.

Now, I have a question for everyone: how do I make my VHS look like super-VHS? Is there a quick and easy (preferably free tee hee hee I'm so cheap) sVHS-look software?

Anyway, so what kind of camera is everybody using?




MOVIE IDEASSSS BLOWOUT SALE!!!

However, before he leaves the office, he was able to convince an idealistic, young co-worker to leave with him to form a responsible oil company that protects black bears and offers an oil-for-guns program to stop youth gang violence in Iraq.

Jerry was also able to get one client to go with him - a food processing plant located in Detroit, owned by a loud-mouthed, brash, yet warm-hearted black man named Eugene.

Hey I went to the music store today and guess what I picked up:


Now that's what I call techno! Pazzzzzzzaaaaaaaaa!!!!!


Then I picked up this greatest soundtack of all time! As far as I'm concerned, nothing represents the Titanic better than Celine Dion singing "My Heart Will Go On." Listen to that song totally reminds me of thousands of people drowning!


Then I got the soundtrack for this movie. It's a heartwarming story about two young children swept up on a desert island after a shipwreck. They grow up and matures without the intervention of grown ups. Now wait a minute, that's Blue Lagoon, shit I must be thinking about a different movie.

Fucking A. Anyway, Brook Shields rocks!


And then I got some old school funk!


And finally the long awaited soundtrack to Britany Spears' movie - Cross Roads! After I bought it I realized that this isn't a musical album at all. In fact, this is a fucking book! And it has nothing to do with Britany Spears. Damn I should have paid more attention. Fucking A.
