The Pitch...

So if I was the one being asked for money for this movie I just saw called November, this is how it would go.

The Guy Asking Me For Money:  Hey I'm thinking about making a movie and I was wondering if you could help finance it.

Me:  Maybe.  What's the storyline?

The Guy Asking Me For Money:  A woman played by the crazy chick from Friends and her boyfriend played by some random dude stop at a convenience store.  The boyfriend gets out to buy the crazy chick some chocolate.  While he's in the store the crazy chick talks to some black guy who she is having an affair with on her cell phone.  Then there is a robbery and the boyfriend gets shot.  But wait.  That turns out not to be true.  Cause then we start all over again and instead of the boyfriend being at the robbery its the crazy chick and the black guy but the robber runs out of bullets before he gets to shoot them.  But wait.  This turns out not to be true.  It turns out that the conveniece store was robbed and the boyfriend was shot and the crazy chick ran in and got shot too and the whole movie was taking place in her mind as she was dying.

Me:  Whoa!  I totally did not see that one coming because I haven't seen every other fucking independent movie since The Sixth Sense.  Fuck.  Even before the Sixth Sense so called art films have been doing the main character is dead storylines.  Jesus Christ don't you have a blockbuster card?  Go and rent some movies and come back with a vaguely original idea.  Get the fuck out of my office.
