ieatcrayonz Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 Did any of you ever have a great idea but not know how to get it started? I have had one for a long time but don't know about next steps. I don't know anyone in Hollywood. I have long thought that the song Fish Heads by Barnes and Noble would make for a great Hollywood storyline. I don't know anyone in Hollywood and have tried without luck to contact Barnes and Noble who wrote the song to see if they could fund it. Their store employees have not been helpful. Here are the lyrics. I think it would be great. If anyone knows anyone please let me know. Thanks. Fish heads, Fish headsRolly polly Fish heads Fish heads, Fish heads Eat them up, Yummm Fish heads, Fish heads Rolly polly Fish heads Fish heads, Fish heads Eat them up, Yummm In the morning Laughing, happy Fish Heads In the evening Floating in the soup Fish heads, Fish heads Rolly polly Fish heads Fish heads, Fish heads Eat them up, Yummm Ask a Fish head Anything you want to They won't answer They can't talk Fish heads, Fish heads Rolly polly Fish heads Fish heads, Fish heads Eat them up, Yummm I took a Fish head Out to see a movie Didn't have to pay To get it in Fish heads, Fish heads Rolly polly Fish heads Fish heads, Fish heads Eat them up, Yummm They can't play baseball They don't wear sweaters They're not good dancers They don't play drums Fish heads, Fish heads Rolly polly Fish heads Fish heads, Fish heads Eat them up, Yummm Rolly polly Fish heads Are never seen drinking Cappacino in Italian restaurants With Oriental women...Yeah Fish heads, Fish heads Rolly polly Fish heads Fish heads, Fish heads Eat them up, Yummm Fish heads, Fish heads Rolly polly Fish heads Fish heads, Fish heads Eat them up, Yummm...

ieatcrayonz Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 Very funny all. Thanks for the input. Of course I have added to the foundation of the story laid out by B&N. It is sort of a spy movie. IMO very intriguing. If you don't want to help, fine. There is no need to make fun of someone's idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't have to be a blender, a wood chipper or even a cat could work. An evil Islamist cat may be just the ticket. You could soak the fish heads in a Martini and then cover them with pig fat. The cat would go fuggin nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dib Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 As long as the fish heads are threatened at some point in the movie you may have a chance. and they have to be nude, swear, refer to drugs and chase each other in cars with guns. Oh, and have 'taboo' sex in a tent in the mountains. Otherwise no one will come to the movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 It's a little known fact there, Norm, that a short movie was already produced using this incredibly entrenching and sophisticated song. It aired on Saturday Night Light in the late 70s. I believe you need to contact Lorne Micheals for the rights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it doesn't involve fish heads. 620964[/snapback] How ironic. I built a great invention once, but have absolutely no idea what it is or what it does. Maybe we could team up...

ieatcrayonz Posted March 8, 2006 Author Share Posted March 8, 2006 I re-read this thread andI guess I should have put in more detail if I was to expect constructive advice. I don't want to give away the whole story but There are missing jewels. It is a port city At various times there are fish hauls entering the port from sea. Fish heads start being spotted all over town and they are clues leading to the jewels. At the critical turning point a fish head is actually seen drinking cappachino in an Italian restaurant with an oriental woman. It is a twist that would take a long time to describe. I can't get into too much more without giving away a lot. I hope you can see that I'm serious and if you have contacts I'd appreciate them. I know this is a football board but at least I took it to Off the Wall. I haven't had any luck and am sort of grasping at straws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
