Title fun....

[jagfiles]

Here's a fun idea to the producers for ideas for some story lines using various sayings we may have heard or song titles that could be used for a quicksand story line that could be used as the title of the video or part of the dialoge the story. One thing about a song title in case someone is wondering about a copyright. I read that a song itself can be copyrighted but not the title.

Song title:
Castles on Quicksand.
I Feel The Earth Move.

Sayings we're familar with:
Get me once, shame on you. Get me twice shame on me.
I sunk all my money is this deal.
I'm rather swamped at the moment.

Here's some fun with the dialouge. I saw in a MAD magazine where they had a thing called "Snappy answers to stupid question." Like a guy was jogging and as he passed by various people they'd ask "Are you a jogger?" and he give them various snappy answers like a shoe store salesman "No I'm breaking in a new pair of shoes."
Suppose this could be incoroprated into a quicksand where a gal steps into some quicksand and as she sinks various people walk by and ask her "Are you in quicksand?" What type of snappy responses could be thought of here?

Maybe a little hokey but just a thought here.

I like the "I'm rather swamped at the moment" - I can picture an actress sinking in the swamp on her cell phone, chatting (none-too-nicely) with a teller-marketer, who is saying, "Will you vote for Brian for Mayor?" or something similar.

Whenever I hear Twist and Shout, I can picture a perfect quicksand video..
happy to be stuck with you
Stuck in the middle with you

From the producer point of view (this one at least) what is needed is not just the title but a story synopsis to go with it. There need be no connection whatever to the original if, say, the original is the title of a famous book, but I think it needs to be more than just a punchline

Agreed.

Also, wondering why Quicksand Doctor74 bumped a two-year-old thread that's just as bad now as it was then.

And so it begins. Again.

I believe the definition of bumping is creating a completely meaningless reply, such as the word "bump" just to push a thread up to the top. That is not the case here.

As for whether the original thread was worthwhile or not, that is obviously something of individual opinion. That the original received a number of replies would suggest, to me anyway, that is was worthwhile.
