My blockbuster film - input needed

[sp1814]

I have a great idea for a movie - where cyber criminals manage to 'break' the Internet causing worldwide chaos.

But the question is - how long would the Internet have to be down to seriously affect you? Five minutes? A day? A week?

If you lost Facebook, Twitter, BBC iPlayer etc - how soon would you be running around the streets screaming at strangers for information, and sliding into cannibalism?*


(*I'm assuming the cannibalism thing wouldn't kick in for at least a week)

Didn't this happen in the last Die Hard film?

[dotty.]

i certainly would have a problem at work as we use an intellinet system for everything! we'd have to improvise and there aren't many at work who can remember what it was like pre-internet and so i would come into my own then!

I suppose I managed for 50 years or so. And I'm sure I could learn to eat grass if Tescos won't deliver caviar.

I can live without Arsebook but more importantly, without the internet, where am I going to find 'marinated leg of in-law' recipes?

[sp1814]

What? They stole my idea for Die Hard???

Never mind...I have another idea about a cyborg who comes back through time from the future to kill the leader of a resistance movement after a war between machines and man.

It's a guaranteed blockbuster!

just as long as you don't try to turn it into a series.

I work on the internet so would last 5 minutes in to my shift and then get sacked....go for it I say :0)

'John McClane takes on an Internet-based terrorist organization who is systematically shutting down the United States.'

And I use the internet daily. I could handle a lot of things but not being unable to catch up on Iplayer with masterchef or great british bake off... I'd have to go all John McClane on whoever broke it.

Did you see The Great British Bake Off last night?

"I can't serve Mary bits of green carpet" is the funniest line I've heard from any programme this year.

We all love Catheryn in our house. She's genius ("Is it haemorrhage or haemorrhoids?")

Catheryne reminds me shed loads of my baby sister both physically and in personality (alas not in baking technique), so I've a massive soft spot for her, she's just delightful. However I also have a soft spot for the scots med student who I think is a darling, I suspect he's my favourite really.

With all the cooking programs I watch, you'd think I would actually like cooking really eh?! :-/

What was that great film where someone planning a terrorist attack/freedom fighting exercise said "let's blow up the internet, innit"?

[sp1814]

triggerhappy - I like the basic premise of your movie (holidays in the past), but if I may, I'd like to suggest that the plot not be confined to you and your party simply going to concerts that take your fancy.

Instead, whilst on a holiday in the past, you witness some famous crime - like the shooting of JFK - and you're chased through time by the FBI, desperate to silence you because you know the truth.

At the climax of the film, the FBI agents chase you back to Dallas in 1963, where you steal a gun from your grandfather's house (you know this because you remember as a child where he kept it). You're chased across town and are trapped on a small grassy knoll, which is when the lead FBI shoots at you...and misses!!

Now come on - who would NOT pay to see that film.

Catheryn has a blinding sense of humour. There's something very innocent about her too, which is very charming.

I'm thinking that the eventual winner will either be James (Scottish lad) or Brendan (older chap). They both seem to now what they're doing.

I also like the blonde vicar's wife who spends nearly evy episode crying.

[China Doll]

I'd pay to watch that film!

Noooo, that blonde vicars wife actually looks like a flaming cake! (No, not the rotund thing, more the soft, squishy and flimsey thing), she really irritates me. I want her and the graphic designer (chinese?) fella out, I think they've done their time now.

This is actually the second double of my sister to be on telly, the other one appeared on Jeremy Kyle... she wasn't as charming though.
