Filmmakers take note

[urbpan]

My unconscious brain just made up a really cool monster movie. It was terribly derivative, being basically an updated version of Lost Boys, where an entire small city is either vampires or people hunting them. It was also, greatly informed by my work anxieties and the terrible softcore were-animal movie I watched yesterday. It included a cool scene where our heroes poke their heads into a huge spooky cathedral. They slowly look upward to realize that there are hundreds of human-sized bats sleeping hanging from the ceiling. There was climactic gun battle where one side was armed with dart guns, and the air was filled with telazol-filled missiles.

It also included two really cool things that I don't think actually exist: A street version of roller derby, where some players have bicycles--they were playing while riding and skating down a huge hill in the city, and their victory celebrations incorporated public theatre and public nudity; and frogbats--they look like regular treefrogs, but when disturbed their leathery wings suddenly unfurl and they fly away.

The plot was really confusing, but the special effects were awesome.

ursualav totally needs to draw frogbats. Hell, she probably already has.

I'll post a full review Tuesday, if not sooner. The sacrifices I make for the greater good of movie fans...

Was it MERIDIAN: KISS OF THE BEAST perhaps?

[urbpan.livejournal.com]

Nope, and now I have to go look that up!

bicycle polo is your closest bet, and is sometimes played in urban settings.

Do other people dream movies, or is it just our family?

It's happened to me. The most memorable incident involved zombie-like creatures and random sex. I woke up terrified and confused as hell. Some day it'll be a full-blown story...
