Cool, Wal Friman. That's another way to come up with script ideas. Look at facts.
Yeah, like that, E Langley! I'd watch that movie!

Sure. An Action/Comedy. Not too many of those. "Nakatomi Nuptials."

When I need ideas, one of my alternatives is to look into my collection with about 4,500 modern urban legends. Anybody who wants a copy?
That's a great idea, Göran Johansson. Can you email me a copy? Storytelling200@gmail.com

Just sent you the collection. 6 megabytes. So I hope it doesn't get stuck somewhere en route..

"Scary Movie 8; A Superheroes' Nightmare."
After partying thru the night, Robin finds out that -- in the same nightmare -- all superheroes and their sidekicks are captured by Freddy Krueger and imprisoned in a medieval torture castle. No superhero powers to fight back.
Now dreamweaver Robin must save them before Freddy slaughters one by one -- beginning with his boss, Batman.
Robin suits up and drives the batmobile into the scary night...
