— Ace Originally published February 16, 2012. This one was suggested by MWR.
Asylum -- the studio which would later make Sharknado -- is a terrible studio whose movie ideas seem to come primarily from dares.
They announced this horrific movie, and I began to wonder: Do they ever turn down any movie pitches?
Don't comment on old posts, by the way. The system will ban you for spam. That's why I'm republishing this in a new post.

You had me at "Brooke Hogan," but the 2 Headed Shark with 6000 teeth cinched it.
Yes, it's real.
Kind of. It exists. But it's... you know, it's not really real. Is it a real movie when the whole point is to essentially play a $500,000 practical joke?
This production company, The Asylum, has brought you such fare as Mega Shark, and then, of course, Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, and, because you demanded it, Mega Shark vs. Crocosaurus.
Because I'm just looking to break in to the business, and because I believe these guys will literally not turn down a single pitch, I offer, optimistically, my top twelve pitches for Asylum.
Fingers crossed.
Top Twelve Rejected Golden Movie Pitches For Asylum
12. Monkey Gun. A small-time crook discovers a high-tech gun which shoots Monkeys out of it. Monkey Gun.
11. The Haunting of Stacy's Bosom. Stacy's bosoms are haunted by restless Micmac Indian spirits. The Haunting of Stacy's Bosom.
10. Jenga. A vacationing family is menaced by a giant animated Jenga puzzle the size of a truck. "Don't pull the wrong block!" Jenga.
9. Murder Bucket. A man is possessed by the spirit of lethal bucket. Murder Bucket.
8. PK Rabbit. A gardener awakes from a coma to discover he has the psychic power to lift and throw rabbits with his mind. PK Rabbit.
7. Knucklehead. An evil cosmetic surgeon replaces his model ex-girlfriend's face with nothing but knuckles from medical cadavers. She gets revenge. Knucklehead.
6. Toilet Shark. Not what you think, but a whole new spin. It's a giant shark with a toilet for a head. Toilet Shark.
5. Johnny Flapjacks. A man recovers from a head injury and can see the future in the markings on pancakes. Johnny Flapjacks.
4. Hammersquid, A mad scientist and recreational carpenter creates a squid with hammers at the end of his tentacles. It hits people. Hammersquid.
3. Grizzled. A man receives a heart transplant from a grizzly bear. Horrified to discover he now craves honey, fish, and rape. Grizzled.
2. Spider Rain: Terror in New York City. It starts raining spiders in a Canadian city that sort of looks like New York. Spider Rain.
...and...
1. The Munge. A prostitute contracts a case of The Munge so bad, it kills her clients and transforms them into foul-smelling Munge-Zombies. The Munge.
Hammersquid by @Shikanominarazu, Spider Rain by @NYKensington.
The Two Headed Shark... Is Real? Or an internet goof. I don't know which.
From Tim Blair, via JWF, who notes that shark attacks are predicted to double. Because of global warming.

"You know who I was thinking...? Brooke Hogan."
"Brook Hogan? Oh, YES! She's great, she's great!!!"

During my workout, I watched parts of two "Librarian" movies, starring expired heartthrob Noah Wyle. They were about as bad as movies can get, and as far as I know, were intended seriously. They make Star Wars dialog look Oscar-worthy.

This idea was the result of hours of refinement in multiple editorial meetings. The original concept was called "The Shark With A Lot More Teeth Than Regular Sharks."

OR
For the Optimist who wants to see how much time they have to party.
Here: http://tinyurl.com/342cedt
It's a Death calculator.
Input a few questions (I know, I know) and it will tell you your estimated time of death.
I was inspired to look this up by an article about a Death Watch.
This is a watch that you BUY to do the same thing as the calculator does above. (the questions in that might be better, I don't know.)
Enjoy?!
