Exactly Puck - i just can't handle the prospect!
Not to sound snobbish but (I am British after all) its just a nightmare prospect. I think some folk just dont spend nearly enough time thinking about their idea before going and rushing out to produce it. I suppose the new pitching process will manage to scrape away the most irrelevent film ideas to the fest theme.
But sure - you see...
At the risk of sounding polititical - i suppose individualism is a strong american characteristic and tradition - so is consumerism (as of late!) This combination can have terrifying consequences when you have these kinds of bourgeious tales of 18 year olds, who live in middle class suburbs... who drive SUV's... and whose sole life is to hope that the girl they text in their newest mobile phone (sorry cell phone) will sleep with them - at their friends college party (the er exciting climax as it were) entendre ending.
That just sucks - I say now to anyone thinking of that idea - that they really should try eating their own faeces for improved inspiration! At the risk of sounding like a grumpy meanie i also think any cheesy action comedies based on the quest angle will ultimately suck as well.
What I hope to watch is some guy who manages to completely awe - inspire me with an epic artistic vision (be it in the development of a character) or a dude leading a CGI army - whatever! I want maturity... Genuine artistic merit.
Not some guy mucking about with his mates BOOoooo!
I'm counting on you Puck! And ZAZA!!!
In a way (and i promise mod ill not say anymore on this) i think Lossfest produced ridiculous top 2 winners...) and this time i think and hope things will be different - that we will see true art make it to the top - and that filmmakers will aspire to produce it.

Your idea was actually a complex form of expressionism Zazacast - that made my day.
Having some guy dressed up like a gimp going 'biaaatch' every two secs, pretend ninja fighting his other mates dressed like gimps - while im supposed to laugh at the cheesy disco music and barely resembled quest theme - that - that won't be funny
Bobble heads will!

Sci-Fi/Fantasy seems to be gaining ground... what gives?
