Posted this here as opposed to movie forum for purpose of recieving more feedback.
In my spare time I am something of an amatuer film-maker and for an upcoming film festival I am stuck for ideas. I am open to all manner of suggestions. If I choose to use your suggestion perhaps I could mention your name in the credits of the film? Whatever. Go crazy.
Full Version: Concepts for Short Film
What about an explosives factory in Victorian times, where they dispose of explosive waste by ploughing it into the earth in a less-than-careful fashion. Cows eat the grass, so some of them explode, and people will be sitting down to dinner, with exploding steaks. Bread explodes because of all the volatile wheat, milk explodes, birds flying through the sky explode, insects explode, the explosives permeate every aspect of life until eventually the earth explodes. The pieces of rock travel through the universe exploding everything they touch, until eventually the whole universe explodes.
If you don't use my idea please could you forward it to the Guiness Book of Records, as I belive nobody has used the word "explode" more times in one paragraph. Except possibly Bin Laden.

I like the comical idea of everything exploding, for some foundation reason. It could be done really well - I can see it. I would however discard the victorian origins and work on a more practical source of the explosions!
During a first aid course the other day, my instructor said - "It is now time to blow your manikins up. Unless you have the terrorist model. Then it will blow itself up." Terrible I know, but I couldn't help laughing.

For crying out loud secondhand, by the time I had finished reading your posting, the word "explode" seemed unreal in my mind!!!

Well I was thinking Victorian because they would have had no idea about health and safety and all the boring stuff that stops cool stuff happening nowadays. Plus their clothes were cool, all top hats and massive sideburns. And they way thay spoke was great, it would be like:
Septimus: Albert my good man, would you bestow upon me the dubious honour of facilitating the passage of Boggins & Sons Finest Patent Saltpetre in a sou-westerly orientation in order that said saltpetre fulfils it's destiny, to wit, integrates fully with components too numerous to mention, an inevitable consequence of which will be the explosive outrushing of air in a manner befitting the purpose of the instrument we are contracted to produce.
Albert: Indubitably, my good man.
PS sorry Lotus Flower. Try looking through all the Fs [e.g.] in the phone book or dictionary, by the end your eyes go all funny and you can't helf thinking how weird they look.
