What if we all pitched in and each made a short video about ourselves and our portables. Ben could edit it and make a documentary on portables over the world. That would ROCK!

Not really a movie, but you could make a parody of the PSP commericals using the PSp.

just what the world wants to see...
a bunch of pimple-faced nerds and their frankengeek boxes.

for the most part, nerds belong on the other side of the camera.
it's cruel, but true.

My friend and I were going to make a movie of us just beating each other up kung-fu style with some humor.
Stupid action movie?
A super-hero movie starring the LPC?
Another movie with guns?

i hoestly think a doccumentry of videogames and the bad rap they get for parents blaming everything that kids do on any thing other than their own parenting would be good right about now with all this stuff going on
kinda done in a style like the guy who ate mc donalds for a month's movie or bowling for columbine, events like e3, CGE, tokyo game show would make for excellent parts for gamers to be interviewd and their opinions and mabe a church groups, cops, goverment officials (PLEASE DONT INTERVIEW LEIBERMAN HES A JERK) that type of thing for the other side....

then boycott k mart for selling 9mm bullets and get them to stop

I was gonna make a classic silent comedy film (sadly my camera is not working) where its really happy bouncy music and it would be titled "The good old days" and the episode would be called like "Paintin' the house" and we bounce along to the music and accidentally hit the other guy and do a laughing motion, then the words "Ha Ha Ha" go on the screen like the old fasioned films, Yeah....I thought it sounded funny but oh well. I like to call it artistic funny

okay ideas:
1)how about those people who dress up like anime characters at cons?
2)or follow some Amish kids around for a while. I'm sure some of them are in street gangs...
3)I always wanted to create an urban legend, and make a movie about the process. Kind of like blair witch, without kids in the woods. Or hell, throw some kids in the woods too, it's always fun.

good idea:
or a feature length movie documenting an extremely elaborate and funny practical joke, and all the problems/situations/planning involved. Example: Have aliens abduct you from a friend's house, shots fired, aliens down, people dead--get a few off-duty cops in on it, as well as coroners, emt's, scientists in radiation suits, guys with black suits and black sedans... have it last for DAYS. cut back and forth between that day's planning and execution phases. friends could come back to lifeand haunt the joke-e through small radio transmitters, tape recorders, etc....real scooby-doo. Make sure whoever you play this in the nut house when you're finished.

I'm really feeling that last idea... It's creative/violent/funny/informative. It'd be even better with a sex-scene. with one participant clueless...but the legal issues... Or you could fake the practical joke, and make the plot of the movie that you've been given $10,000 to perform a practical joke on somebody--you're a joke hitman!

(deep voiced movie-preview guy:) "Ben Heckendorn is a practical joke hitman, and he's just been given $10,000 to play the ultimate joke.
(random practical joke scenes)
(ben:) "I've never had a job this large, this has to be the ultimate..."
(small time practical joke scenes during voiceover)
(still ben:) "No more rice in the gas tank, switching keyboard keys around, or planting dead bodies in people's garages...this has to be big."
(deep voiced guy:) "who's the target? The president? (random other name), or you?"
ok some one goes to a public wasroom in a mall. when they walk a out a porno store is built in front of the door. when the person in the wash room gets out they fine they are in a porno. then a pile of people stand out side and stare at them when they leave.

What like "Pitfall!"?

As for the Castlevania idea. Change the names and you should be fine. As long as you dont use copyrighted names your fine. Look at Vampire Hunter (not bloodlust) they mentioned Dracula once and D is really Alucard.

You know the whole idea about making portables wouldnt be so bad if you throw in parts like the first Atari mocking you well you slept (when you realized you cant design it to be smaller). Parts like that would be great for comedy.

Other then that the only other idea (more mine) would be to make some sort of short that has the LPC in it. You have a comic book over made, so why not like a 10 minute movie about it?
