Sometime, I try to imagine what it would be like if two movies were blended together to make a third movie. Kind of like how people argue if space fleets from Star Trek or Star Wars would win in a battle.
I was thinking I would be interested in a cross between Back To the Future and Speed, where Sandra Bullock tries to keep a bus at 88.8 mph to prevent it from going back in time. When the bus runs out of gas, she finds her self 30 years in the past. She works with a mad scientist to use a bomb to force the buses time travel engine to go foward in time. Shortly before they try to return to her current time, she goes to a dance where she meets and falls in love with Micheal J. Fox, and decides to stay in the past.
While driving the bus to find talk her into going back to her own time, the scientist accidentally triggers the bomb. The explosion successfully triggers the buses time travel mechanism, causing it to go forward into the future and the explosion completes a few hours after Sandra left, conveniently destroying a VW van filled with Libyan terrorists. The NTSB spends a great deal of time trying to determine why a bomb was used to power the time traveling mechanism instead of the ridiculously common AA batteries it was designed to for. The final 500 page document (written by Keanu Reeves) concludes that Christopher Loyd must have been incapable of reading the manual (found the wreckage of the glove box).
Meanwhile in the past, Sandra has discovered that the man she fell in love with is actually her father, and decides to marry him. Thus she simultaneously fulfills her overtly Freudian fantasies and finally understands the source of her longstanding suspicions that she was turning into her mother.
He clearly used the explosion because he knew that it was the only way to stop the terrorists. They had already anticipated people trying to stop them with a bus, with time travel, and with explosives. But not with an explosive time traveling bus...
ReplyDeleteOh, and I am glad that you can't actually get a Horadric cube like in Diablo 2. I shudder to think what twisted creations you would make with one.
