Hiya!

I found an interesting article about a Iraq war veteran whose life went downhill after he and his team accidentally killed a family in Iraq. After that he has had mental problems (seeing dead kids!), he became broke when the army apparently cut off his war pension and he even went to jail in some point. According to him the army failed to help him to get treatment for his mental problems. A lot of dark and heavy stuff. I thought the idea would be interesting since there isn't too many films concentrating fully on the problems war veterans face when they come back, plus it's a really contemporary theme with all the wars going on out there. Also a lot has happened to this war veteran, so it would be an interesting challenge for the director and the screenwriter to find a proper approach to the topic. A link to the article is below:

hitler oh hitler

i found this idea very fun
and very free to develop whatever we want
based on the true fact
:)

It turns out in 1941, Adolf Hitler asked Dr. Olena Danish Hanussena a prototype doll of galvanized metal, plastic, which was later planned to make in Dresden.

This sex toy was meant for German soldiers, so they can satisfy their sexual needs.

The Fuhrer gave specific instructions about how must have looked like "Rubber Girl": to be a life-size, growth 1,76 m and depict a beautiful woman with very white skin, blond hair and soft blue eyes, big lips and breasts, bending his arms and an open umbilicus.

Erotic doll that should have been included among the necessary things for the soldiers, would help avoid sexually transmitted diseases among soldiers and helped to preserve the purity of Aryan race.

Responsible for the project was Heinrich Himmler, head of the SS. However, the factory, which would have made these dolls, was destroyed by Allied bombs that brought an end to Hitler's plan.

Hoi from Finlandio

Hewo hewoo!! I hope everyone goooood and enjoying holidays. I've heard the weather in England hasnt been great. It's beauuuuuutiful in Finland though. SUCKERSSSS =D haha

I don't know if you have heard about the "sex scandal" which involves the former IMF chief Strauss-Kahn who apparently wants ( or wanted) to run for president in France I think and a hotel cleaner from a small town in west africa? was it? I cant remember now ( i'm at work but i've got the article at home.) But I just thought it was weird and funny how they started writing about the hotel maid and telling her sad story of moving away from Africa and then getting a good job and then something horrible like a rape attempt happens.
But then couple weeks afterwards, the news wrote that the charges might be dropped against Dominique Strauss-Kahn because the woman has some sort of a criminal backrgound and authorities think she's lying about the man trying to rape her.
But then a little bit after this another french woman accuses the same man of raping (or trying) her. And I'm still waiting for information on what's actually happening next.
Maybe this idea is more for a longer film. It kind of sounds like almost a cliché feature film where you know before seeing the film what's gonna happen but not sure HOW. And I'm sorry if I made this seem more complicated than it really is =P.

Hey guys,
Hope your having a good summer so far. Just been looking at some of the first ideas cropping up. I am thinking that something a bit strange, weird or even shocking is a good path. The most interesting stories to me where the ones such as the squatters or the chinese boy where it was a strange occurence that gives us the opportunity to look into the minds of those individuals, what drives them to do what they do, as well as the social, cultural and political themes as well (I mean how does a boy decide that selling an organ for a computer is a good idea!). I think that would be a interesting focus for the film. It also seems that we are interested in a bit of comedy here? With these kinda subjects, comedy is essential!

17 Dead bodies found in a Medieval well

Ah, now this looks intresting. Apparently at some point during the 12th centuray a bunce of people were executed by maybe being forced to jump down a well, leaving a massive pile for us to find. But it is shrouded in mystery, apparently they were persecuted because they were jewish but could there have been another reason? A nice bit of loopy medieval logic here.
