 		 [HUMOR] Guess the Plot!
Since there aren't many details on the actual film itself, here's a humorous 'sepculation' thread.

Rules:

Everything in your version of the plot must have come from somehwere within the ARG.

They should be humorous, but you have a serious guess you're more than welcome to post it!


I'll go first!

During the mid 70's, the government launched a secret astronaut program, which was funded by selling popsicles. A space probe from the 'Rocket Poppeteers' program found a planet with intelligent life. These real 'Space Men', as the governement called them, were hostile and absolutely loved eating the Rocket Poppeteer astronauts.

The government desperately wanted to study these 'Space-Men', but unfortunately kept being eaten. Instead of losing experienced astronauts, the government decided to round up a mass army of children recruits to the Rocket Poppeteers program. These kids were sent to the 'Space-Men's' home planet to be feasted upon, while the real astronauts studied and eventually captured one of these aliens.

Naturally, this alien was placed in Area 51, but the scientists working there realized just how unhappy the alien really was. So they shipped him off on a train, which had no windows. The train was awfully hot and stuffy, and so the alien cried for help. A nearby truck driver heard these cries and knew what he had to do. He was going to stop for coffee! He knew a shortcut to the nearest Dunkin Donuts on the old abonded railroads, but little did he know that an alien transport train was running on the same track! The two collided and derailed the train, and allowed the alien to be freed from his uncomfortable train car. This alien was experimented on to enjoy the taste of chocolate and peanut butter instead of human flesh. He wondered off into the nearby forest and the events of E.T. occur.

 		[HUMOR] Guess the Plot!
Ras;

I think you're a bit too quick to razz (via the "trout") the OP for this suggested thread, for in checking the linked thread it has NOTHING to do with humor, but with serious speculation. Confused

Let's give this bit of humor a chance since there's a lull in the action. Laughing

I'll certainly weigh in later with Monkeychow67's idea, and why wouldn't you, Ras? Shocked

Aren't you an aspiring writer/director/photgrapher Ras? Wink

 		I can think of a few titles:

For one, how about

Coelacanths In Space!

Watch as Capt. Coop lures the giant beasts with sound and ordinary objects. Why he even catches one with a Sled!

Did you know Coelacanths love Rocket Pops! It is said the pops taste like outer space!!!

So hurry! You won't want to miss --

Coelacanths In Space!!!!

Okay, I'll bite.
(Sorry, OP)

MONSTERS ON A TRAIN
Sam L. Jacks was driving the truck.

"Enough is ENOUGH! I have had it with these moth-hairfrickin' aliens on this moth-hairfrickin' train!"

Okay, so now the aliens are no longer on the train ... they got out; ran into the countryside; grabbed a Super 8mm camera at their local RadioShack and film their own handy-cam feature event!

Alien #1: "Hold the damn thing still!"
Alien #2: "I'm trying, but it keeps slipping our of my slimy tentacles!"
Alien #3 (obviously female): "I TOLD you guys to get a tripod!"

:::::rustles in nearby bushes:::::

Alien #3: "YEEKS! I think I just inked myself!"
Alien #2: "Shhh! ... What is that in the bushes?"
Alien #1: "Come on out. We won't harm you."

Alien #4 (jumps out of the bushes- and has the voice of Nelson Muntz): "Ha-Ha! ... I got a VIDEO camera, and I got shots of you three goofs inking your shorts!"

The video shows up on YouTube; gets taken away from the creator by big, Hollywood moguls; re-examined; re-edited; and it now looks like this:

This page requires Flash Player 10.1.52 or higher.
I couldn't get the page to load Sad

Such is AAaaarrrRRRGGGG!

Oh, wait ... after the end credits ...
A cartoon still of Capt. Coop appears; giving the thumbs up.
And ... the following is slowly typed across the screen:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Message from Poppeteers Mission Control

::ATTENTION::

The Movie's Over - You can go home now.


Yay!!

Maybe, I should have read the rules?

I changed the title as more people seem to like it.

 		Super 8 - The Ultimate Date Movie!
The movie begins with two old people in a car overlooking the launch pad at Cape Canaveral. The car is rhythmically rocking in a way only REALLY OLD people could make it. Off in the distance a rocket launches just as a "Rocket Launches"... (Umm... yeah nasty.) Anyways, the rocket in the distance explodes and launches a piece of debris at the rockin car crushing it. End Scene.

FUNERAL: Josh minker is at his moms funeral. Turns out she was cheating on her husband and died in a freak Viagra induced hemorrhage. Of course the space capsule in her forehead didn't help either. Realizing Josh had a serious addiction to Celocanth fins he knew he had to sell some of moms crap. End Scene.

Joshes House: After the funeral Josh rifled through his moms crap, watching video after video of his parents "in the bedroom". Yup mom was a freak! The last tape he puts in is truly the Scariest thing hes ever saw! (Edit for PG-13) Mom Minker was @#$%^&* with *&^%$ and a %^&*(&%!!!!! End Scene.

A Bridge: Knowing his life is over Josh decides to end it all. just as he jumps, knowing it can't get any worse, he gets abducted by aliens!!!!
Several hours later Josh awakes to find himself tied to a tree with his pants around his ankles surrounded by little green men in camouflage pants. Fade to black.....

Area 51: Having been impregnated by aliens Josh was whisked away to a secret military installation to be examined. Several doctors surround him, poking and prodding in ways you can only imagine. Several days later Josh Minker gives birth to a squid. Train pulls up.... end scene.

On the Way to Dayton, Oh: Trapped inside a train car with his newborn squid, Josh finally realizes his life is good. Everything is right in the world and eats a fruity frozen treat being hauled in the same train car. Suddenly there's a jolt and Josh can feel blood dripping from his head. The train has crashed and Josh is dead. End Scene.

Roll credits.

(It's a good movie! Why are you looking at me that way???) Screwy

 		I'm not sure I can beat Coelacanths in Spaaaaaace or all that crazy business that Mom Minker was doing... But here goes.

Fade in....

Capt Coop is preparing to land his Mercury space craft, a shadow passes over him through the tiny window and he is distracted from landing prep. He looks out and OMG ITS TOO TERRIBLE TO SHOW. Even steeljawed American Hero Coop is horrified (though it barely shows). He veers his spacecraft and begins reentry ASAP. Some bits fall off 'cause that happens.

Follow the bits as they pass through the atmosphere, and crash into West Virginia, one smashing into a small home. A young Josh Minker, rosy cheeked and kind of adorable rides up on his bike, which has a sled tied to it which a small fish bowl is sitting on, being dragged behind the bike. There's some kind of fish in the bowl. He pulls up in front of his house, grabs the fish bowl and dashes inside, all happy. "Hey ma, I won the Mathelon! And I got a sled so I can take Aristotle with me wherever I go!... Ma? MA?!"

Possibly later, who cares... Stuff falls on a train in Ohio. Explosions. Fire. The usual. Pa Minker barely escapes. Films some stuff on a super 8 camera. Gets freaked out by what he saw and decides to quit trains and the army and return to his son in Virginia. Farm some coal or something.

Pa Minker finds out Ma Minker kicked the bucket. Josh feels like an emo teen almost hero. Life goes on. Pa eventually cracks one night over dinner and spills the beans over what happened in Ohio to Josh though he never asked cause who the heck cares about Ohio. Shows Josh the Super 8 film. Josh is horrified and emotionally scarred. Not sure what to do, he has been pushed past the precipice and even though he doesn't know it has started his heroic Joseph Campbell journey. Decides to post some stuff on craigslist. Mysterious dude contacts him.

Add some tension/secret espionage stuff here.

OMG mysterious dude is Capt Coop! Josh and his fish go to visit him in Florida where apparently all astronauts retire and he reveals the awful truth. Coelacanths are the scouts for aliens. Not just aliens but Evil Space Piranhas from SPAAAAACE (IN 3DDDDDD)! From a space lake beneath a space lake (in Russia)! Oh no! Somehow Coop kills them all and saves the world. But he's played by Liam Neeson so it is expected (or I guess Harrison Ford). Oh and he like punches some of them in the face. Cause he's that badass. Maybe the Stig comes in to help out in a duo of such awesomeness our eyes will melt when we behold it. Josh turns all of this into a wildly popular book series then changes his name later in life to JJ Abrams.

And thus the circle of life is complete.

 		[OT] Monsters!
Didn't know where else to put this ...
While it doesn't include TRAINS, it does involve a sort of Underground Railway
... and an unusual twist on the Aliens/Monster theme: http://rasgold.blogspot.com/2010/08/monsters.html



"Six years ago previously, a NASA probe returning to earth with samples of
an alien life form, crashed over Central America. Soon after, new life forms
began to appear, and half of Mexico was quarantined as an INFECTED ZONE.
Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain "the
creatures"... The story begins when a US journalist agrees to escort a shaken
American tourist through the infected zone in Mexico to the safety of the US
border."

Shocked
