i NEED this movie MADE, evilbore cinemaphiles

[Van Cruncheon]

from saint c's "tired" thread:

--

i swear, i develop some sort of psychopathy while driving the commute. normally, i don't fantasize about people dying horrible deaths, but when i see some smug bitch on her cell phone swerving her monolithic suv between lanes or some slick-coiffed prat screaming into his headset as he crunk dances on the brakes of his beamer, i envision fates for them that would make eli roth go fetal. i really REALLY want someone to make a comic-transgressive road rage gore movie. i need the catharsis!

actually, that would be an AWESOME grindhouse movie idea. Lonely hillbilly old dude gets diagnosed with terminal cancer and decides to leave his bunker and take his giant battered Streamliner RV on one last trip across the American highways he remembered from his youth and see the sights. He hasn't been on the road since the 60s. He leaves the hills and gets stuck in various rush hours on various 405s, and he just fuckin' SNAPS. His RV is full of guns and power tools and samurai swords and carcass-cleaning kit. He gets run off the road or sideswiped or taunted or cut-off or harrassed by the various commuter types: soccer mom; smug investment broker; teens playing hooky in daddy's X5; lexus princess; and of course everyone's favorite -- and the ultimate climax -- the COMMUTER BUS. He gets BUSFUCKED, and the blood FLOWS LIKE MOTOR OIL FROM A 70'S MANUFACTURE FORD. OMG just OMG.

DO IT. Willco, let's write this script.

So basically Kill Bill with a Hill Billy.

We can call it Kill Billy

[Van Cruncheon]

let's not focus on the hillbilly. let's focus on the scene where the old dude runs the teens off the road, steals their weed and booze, ties them up and lays them down, prone, in a line on the asphalt, and then slowly and methodically backs over each of their heads!

WHAT!

He could also attack a house full of unsuspecting Pedophiles in the NBC pedo catching house.

I said wow, that's a gorefest film I would actually watch.

The most interesting part about it is that road rage is such a base value in the modern commuter society. Everyone calls people things and wishes for terrible things to happen to people from the safety of their vehicle cockpit, and then they reach their destination and that rage just slips back into the subconscious.

let's not focus on the hillbilly. let's focus on the scene where the old dude runs the teens off the road, steals their weed and booze, ties them up and lays them up in a line on the asphalt, and then slowly and methodically backs over each of their heads!

I agree, the focus needs to be on snotty teenagers and the texting/chatting people angrily driving their SUVs without anyone else in them.

what does that hafta do with ROAD RAGE and AMERICAN DISILLUSIONMENT, FoC? this isn't a vigilante picture for you creepy-ass texans; this is a tragicomic tale of gross alienation and situational schadenfreude!

cgi clips and stuff?

[hyp]

yea mostly 3D/2D compositing using in-game footage and stills.  if i'm lucky i'll get some CG to work with, but that depends on if the artists have time, or if the third parties hook us up w/ that stuff.

drinky I know a guy who lives in a house he built himself and has a business cutting trees.  i suppose he is the city equivalent of a hillbilly, though he does have a very philosophical bent.  that being said a few years back someone cut him off so he followed them for a while and rammed their car.  i could provide biographical details for this project if needed.

   also this would be an awesome movie idea: comedy/gorefest  I would prob watch this movie.

the guy has a collection of antique tree trimming (is their a techncal term besides topiary for this?) tools besides his high powered chainsaws and what not.
