Mouse Trap

STORY:

Life in the kitchen may not have been easy, but it wasn't a bad life for a mouse. Our rodent chums spent their days scurrying around, trying to gather the cheese. Little did they suspect that a terrible contraption was being assembled right under their button noses - until it was too late.

It was an ordinary mission to grab some cheese. What Marvin Mouse didn't expect, though, was that stepping on that one tile would make the ball roll down the chute, move the piping, drop the ball out of the bathtub and onto the catapult, and make the toy soldier make that destined leap into the bucket of fate. WHUMP! Marvin was captured by the diabolical force known as the Contraptors.

His friends were paralyzed by fear after that fateful day, but one can only survive for so long under a siege of trauma. Food is running low. Our heroes are finally beginning to succumb to cheddar cravings and limburger lust.

"This is it!" cries Major Maxwell Mouse. "I'm going to try and get more cheese!"

He strikes a deal with the Contraptors. If Major Maxwell and his troops manage to negotiate their way through the Mouse Trap, they will get all the cheese they can find on their journey, and Marvin's freedom. If they fail... the trap will spring! Will they be able to fend off the Contraptor troops and navigate the Mouse Trap?

Mouse Trap - Coming Soon to Theatres


CHARACTERS:

-Major Maxwell Mouse (red) - the leader. Bold, grizzled, and a veteran of many cheese-retrieving missions, he knows how to outsmart even the toughest felines. But will the Mouse Trap prove to be his match? Voiced by Michael Bell.

-Sergeant Marvin Mouse (green) - the tech specialist and "token geek." Gets captured by the Contraptors early on, but gives advice from within the Mouse Trap. Voiced by Christine Cavanaugh.

-Lance Corporal Ronaldo Rat (blue) - The close-range fighter. Somewhat aloof and distant from the rest of the platoon, but his skills with the blade are second to none. Voiced by Hugo Weaving.

-Private Mike Mouse (yellow) - the rookie. A hot-headed newcomer with a lot to learn, Mike insists on coming on the mission to rescue the Sergeant. Will he survive? Voiced by Jordan Nagai

-Contraptor Overlord - The ruler of the mysterious Contraptors, it was the Overlord who established the construction of the Mouse Trap. What does he want? What is he planning? Who knows what his manipulative scheme is... Voiced by Sala Baker.

Directed by Michael Bay, due to his talent for taking beloved franchises and turning them into explosion-filled plothole-fests.

Note: If you don't know the voice actors, look up some of the roles they've played and you'll see why I chose them.

A young brother and sister are being raised by a health-nut step mother after their father's recent death (killed by junk food). Wishing for any escape they are magically transported to Candy Land, a world where the children can eat whatever they like. But candy land isn't all it appears to be. The king is missing and the children are framed with his alleged regicide - the inhabitants believe he has been eaten. The children must find the king or be turned into gingerbread.

It's Rowan Atkinson and his CG orangutan in a zany, fun-filled search for an ancient Native American treasure. Can they match all the clues before someone else gets there first? It's Uno, coming next summer!

Sorry, consolidated my previous posts and had an idea for a poster:

Sorry!
tagline: A tale of sweet revenge.

directed by: Mike Judge
starring: Zach Braff, Matthew Perry, Orlando Jones, and Stephen Root,

Dean (Braff), Greg (Perry), Jermaine (Jones) and Barry (Root) are four friends who all work in the same office, doing the same mundane work day-to-day. But when they hear of a poisition available working in the luxorious home office of their company, they all see it as a golden ticket to a better life. However, with only one opening and each of them being considered for the promotion, friendships soon turn to rivalries. With each person willing to do anything for the job hilarity ensues as they back stab each other in order to get ahead. It's a wild race to get to the "Home" office, and with each of the friends standing in each other's way, what else can they say except "Sorry!"

When Professor Rob Limndon is accused of murder, he and the one person who believes his innocence - police officer Sophia Dessin - must follow a trail of hastily drawn pictures to discover the truth. The drawings, left behind by the murder victim, depict a variety of seemingly random people and places that lead Rob and Sophia on a journey across Europe as they attempt to decipher the meaning behind the poorly drawn images.

Coming to a theater near you this summer...
The Pictionary Code (rated PG-13)

A roaring crowd fills the stands of the arena as two young fighters clad in leather face each other across an inhospitable and frictionless plain. In its center lie two innocuously shaped ticking bombs, each capable of swirling up utter annihilation for the loser of this battle while the victor revels in glory and survival.

Armed only with specially modified rail guns and a limited supply of silver ball bearings, they must take careful aim, pushing the explosives as far away from themselves and towards the other as possible while keeping careful watch on their stock of ammunition.

They may have been best friends in fifth grade, but now neither one can stop... until one of them wins.

Christian Bale and Danté Basco star in Crossfire! Get caught up in it in theaters everywhere Friday, December 4 1992.

OK - We're going to turn the classic Parker Brothers' board game Clue into a madcap "Whodunnit?" comedy!

We're going to need to bring in some real comedic heavyweights: I'm talking your Christopher Lloyd's, your Martin Mull's, your Eileen Brennan's! Perhaps one of those guys from the Spinal Tap. Oh, Tim Curry was great in Rocky Horror, we could cast his as a butler. Was there a butler in the game?

The only problem I can think of is who to have be the actual killer... it changes with every game... wait a minute, I think I've got it: we'll film a bunch of different endings. Make a bunch of the characters be the killer... we could even ship out different prints with each ending to different theatres. Get some repeat business from all the kids who want to see who did it in the other endings.

We're gonna make a mint!!!

@bbf,
"Yes.

Yes, I did it. I killed Yvette.

I hated her soOOO... much, i-it-the-fl-it-flame-flames-FLAAMES... on the side of my face."

(I miss Madeline Kahn.)

I am thoroughly enjoying these. Keep em coming guys!

I got this emailed to me from a friend that wasn't wanting to post it. I thought it was brilliant, so I'm posting it for her/his anonymous ass. If (s)he comes clean, we'll consider it an official entry. Otherwise, it's a good laugh. Enjoy!

Operation

Former Trauma Surgeon William Bitmen is left disgraced after a botched emergency wrenched ankle procedure results in the death of a patient and a looming malpractice case. Suffering a psychological break and a forced leave-of-absence from his hospital's medical board, he is left to stalk the streets: A predator, obsessed with perfecting his operating skills.

He stalks and kidnaps his prey, taking them to the "triage unit" in his summer cabin, where he attempts all manner of gruesome medical procedures. Without the aid of an anesthesiologist, the room is filled with buzz-like wails of pain, the patients' noses running red with anguish.

Brilliant, eh? Thanks J.

Hes marched to every corner of the map in battle. An X for every victory. Little did he know, someone, something had been circling the middle..... waiting. This summer he has to draw a line in the sand and make the first move.

Corner

TIC!

Middle

TAC!

Side

TOE!

Thanks Man. Hopefully more to come!

Joe Thimble was down on his luck. He lost his apartment on Atlantic Avenue and had even lost his parking spot. But when a gleaming Model T roared up to him, his chances changed.

Monopoly!
The story of a man who bought it all, and lost it all in one turn. And then got it all back in an amazing bank robbery!

Starring Christian Bale as Joe Thimble and Nicholas Cage as Mr Moneybags.

Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots:
Red and Blue, 2 local toughs, are out at the bar - having a few too many. When the topic turns to Red's ex, words are said, egos are bruised, and the two end up taking it outside. In front of a crowd of onlookers, the two get into a good violent brawl. Fists are thrown, blocks are knocked off, and then the two put it behind themselves and Blue buys them one more pint for the road.
Unfortunately, the scene their ruckus caused has caught the attention of a local mobster. He has an underground boxing match coming up and has decided to cash in on the attention Red and Blue's brawl has gotten by "persuading" the two into having a rematch on the card.
Between overzealous cops trying to find a way in with the mob and the mobster's forcing Red to "take the fall", it'll be a miracle if they make it out alive much less with their friendship intact.

In a related note, apparently Ridley "Tony's Brother" Scott is, at least for the moment, attached to direct a big screen Monopoly film.
There was a story about it at Ain't It Cool with a plot synopsis. It apparently involves someone in our reality magically getting transported to the world of the game in his sleep by a magic Chance card (or some such nonsense...).

@bbf,
I got a chuckle out of the "Tony's borther' bit. It reminded me of Thanksgiving where my little brother and I were quoting Top Gun during dinner. Good times.

This just proves what a strange, strange man Ridley is. There is no way to gage what he'll be interested in directing. Still, that Monopoly concept sounds of utter failure. Unless an alien shows up 20 minutes in and kills everybody. That I could get behind.

The Game Of Life - 8:00 pm - Lifetime Ch. 288

Summer Daily (Drew Barrymore) was a career woman striving to climb the corporate ladder and achieve the life of her dreams, but after a her fiance was found with another woman she begins to look back on her life and the choices she made. Then, when she encounters a mysterious pair of dice (voiced by Robin Williams) she gets the chance to "roll again" when she is magically transported to a world of family, laughter and rediscovery with her high school boyfriend turned husband Derick Nightly (Zac Efron) and her rambunctious sons. Now she must decide which "life" she wants to choose before she dies of cancer. (cc) ** (out of Five)

posting this anyway (didn't feel like wasting it).

TWO ARMADAS EACH ON THE OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE WORLD...

Unable to see and without enough gas to reach each other they fight through a shared satellite provided by a ten year old genius being paid by both sides. And so, each side blindly shoots at one another by guessing at longitude and latitude with their long range missiles (using orbit to bring their missiles back down on their enemies on the other side).

In THE END the ten year old informs each side has run out of missiles and must fight again after both have restocked on missiles and ships from the ten year old gun runner/arms dealer.

And so, BATTLESHIP is never ending.
- Signed Somebody.

P.S.
I happen to be ten years old. ^_^
