[TEN MINUTES WAS UP A FEW MINUTES AGO] TASK NUMBER ONE.

Title: Two Among 300

Tagline: Before they fight the world, they fight their love

Genre: Romantic comedy

General plot line:

Prequel to 300:

Love story between Leonidas and his (future) queen, Gorgo (comedy gold in the name alone!). Gorgo is inexplicably strong and independent. Leonidas is the local prince and everybody's favorite boy. They can't stand each other.

Gorgo has two really obnoxious sisters who love to tease her with really bad jokes. Gorgo is a tough girl, a tom boy, and very frumpy. All the girls hate her. Gorgo pulls pranks on them. Hilarity ensues.

Two Spartan boys try to play a major prank on Gorgo at the school dance. They dump cow's blood on her. Leonidas, who used to be her best friend, laughs at her. Gorgo loses it and (being inexplicably strong and independent), pulls out a can of whoop ass on the boys and kicks the snot out of them.

Leonidas falls for her.

Gorgo wants nothing to do with him; he's too full of himself and besides, all the other girls want him.

[Cut to scene with Leonidas holding a musician above his head while the musician plays a harp. Song: In your eyes. Gorgo isn't moved.]

Leonidas has to fight the wolf and he's scared. He sends Gorgo a note, asking her to meet him at [insert 'special place' here]. He waits all night [scene with him waiting and her vacillating about going]. She finally decides to show up, but she just misses him by seconds.

After his fight with the wolf, he comes back injured and she nurses him back to health. He finally opens up and shows her his soft, squishy center. She falls in love with him for no apparent reason. She's all happy and sappy. Goes off to make herself pretty for the big night when Leonidas is supposed to tell everybody who is gonna be his queen.

Right before the big announcement, Leonidas gets cornered by a senator. The senator blackmails by telling him that he has to marry the senator¡¦s daughter or [insert random, meaningless bad-thing here] will happen. Leonidas declares in front of everybody that he will marry this other chick and breaks Gorgo's heart. Gorgo runs off, crying and Leonidas decides he can't live without her.

[insert montage of previous scenes with Leonidas standing in one spot and Gorgo in another spot (backs to each other but they¡¦re really far apart). Fade in and out of them together, laughing and being friendly and in love and all that jazz]

We find out from the kindly old aunt that wants Leonidas to be happy but never says anything that Gorgo's gone into the woods. Leonidas is worried for her so he goes after her, braving [insert big bad monster in the woods here]. He saves her in the nick of time from some grizzly death. They kiss and make up.

Leonidas and Gorgo return to find that Sparta's taken over by [insert random, unreasonably evil 2D bad guy here]. They secretly gather together 300 scantily-clad and very buff Spartan soldiers (all shirtless, at a minimum) to their side. They fight off the less-sexy looking bad guys and win back the throne.

End with a kiss and the sun setting behind them.

Director Joint venture between James Cameron (Titanic) and Rob Reiner (When Harry Met Sally)

Brilliant! Thanks, Ev.
And well done Souds.

One typo needs sorting on second line of plotline: GorDo should be GorGo.

Although obviously not in CAPS.
That would just be silly.

Edited edited.

 

Excellent.
We wouldn't want to lose justy because Bri can't spell proppperlly.


-JR

 

Oh goody! Let's hope the voters like it. Sorry 'bout the spelling issues. You have no idea how many times I typed "Gordo" instead of "Gorgo". It's like my fingers were programmed to call this beautiful woman, "fatty".

 

Thanks big E.

 

So I screwed up in the copy/paste routine and posted a pic of Jeremy Irons instead of Tom Welling. For the concerned ladies, out there, I offer my humble apologies and this small token:

If that doesn't get us some votes, I don't know what will.

 

Well I don't know about anyone else but that did it for me.

 

Do you need to go to the bunk?

 

I don't think he left.

I've never seen 300, so I don't understand it. So hard to follow.

 

If we win, Souderwan will be triumphant, if we lose, he will feel the wrath of KHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN.

No pressure.

 

It's ok. I didn't see it either. (I so rarely get to use that!)
