There probably isn't a <i>five million dollar</i> market for them, mind you...Jon Mollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16066840293920456725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10931739.post-40152181469961280492010-03-29T09:08:44.257-07:002010-03-29T09:08:44.257-07:00I had the thought that you could remake the traile...I had the thought that you could remake the trailer along the lines of something like:<br /><br />"You've seen her in PULP FICTION"<br /><br />(Show car crash, needle plunging in heart)<br /><br />"She kicked ass in KILL BILL."<br /><br />(show bloody battle scenes with plenty of blood spray...)<br /><br />"Now, Uma Thurman takes on her greatest battle ever..."<br /><br />(Show baby crying, puking, pissing, spilling milk,...Uma arguing with others, falling down... make it funnier and funnier, fast cuts like an action movie)<br /><br />"Motherhood."<br /><br />Credits...then cap it off with a scene of a funny line. Uma saying something funny, or another character asking her, "Do you really want to do this?" <br /><br />Even if you couldn't use the footage from her previous films you could still create something action-oriented then subvert expectations by showing it's about being a mother. <br /><br />But seriously, you have to bring the FUNNY to something like this to make it a universal theme. It CAN'T be about MANHATTAN moms because no one outside Manhattan wants to hear their whining.Cunninghamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137025404327426886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10931739.post-45340231432353040402010-03-29T08:50:21.195-07:002010-03-29T08:50:21.195-07:00A movie about "how mothers are too busy to ha...A movie about "how mothers are too busy to have fun" sounds like a movie of a mom cleaning dishes and doing laundry. I can get that by watching reality TV for free, or by going over to my mom's house. How boring is that? She even says it's not fun.Emily Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02163221455899041141noreply@blogger.com
