Yes that is Lemar from Revenge of the Nerds in this clip.

Just from the previews the movie seems different enough to be considered a new movie. They could have even called it a sequel if keeping the name was so important. I’ll stop now before I rant further.

I thought it would be a great challenge to come up with NEW stories for old movie titles. Pick a movie from the list provided and come up with a short synopsis of how you would rewrite it to make a new movie.

Pick one of these movies (all taken from the Oscar’s best picture list):

1. The Sound of Music
2. One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest
3. An American in Paris
4. Gone with the Wind
5. Dances With Wolves
6. No Country for Old Men
7. All Quiet on the Western Front
8. It Happened One Night
9. You Can’t Take It With You
10. The Lord of The Rings: The Return of The King

Here are the rules:

• The title must work with your story
• You cannot  keep any of the original story’s elements
• Have Fun!

Bonus: Pick any movie you want and do the same!

Every episode of the A-team TV show had the same scenario. The A-team get’s locked in some building that had a bunch of scrap metal and a welding torch. Then they always escape by blasting their way out the front door. I found this book and thought, what if YOU were your own A-team and found yourself trapped at your desk and had to fight your way out.

Look around your desk and in your mind using only what you have around you, create your escape weapon or weapons. What would it be, and how would it work? I don’t expect actual working prototypes or even practical ones, this is for fun. So Have Fun!

Bonus: Draw a picture of your weapon.

This week’s assignment is let your imagination go crazy and tell me:
What was in the box? I want to know:

• Who?
  
• What?
• Where?
• Why?
  
• How?
  

Bonus: What was really in the box? Wasn’t nearly as exciting as you may think.

There are few popular games that I play, some offer a “Hint” button while some offer an “Undo” button. Through some mad invention you created you figured out a way to create a magic button, but you can only choose one of the above options, “Hint” OR “Undo”. To make matters worse or to make this decision more of a challenge, each button has certain rules.

Hint: Will only suggest the first and sometimes easiest suggestion. It might be an option or solution you didn’t even see before but if you choose to follow it your stuck with it.

Undo: Though it may give you a second chance it is the only other chance you will get. You only can undo the last thing you did once.

So tell me which one you would choose and why. Have Fun!

Bonus: What other game features would you like to see in real life?

• All Because of You (U2)
• All I Want (Toad the Wet Sprocket)
• All I Want is You (U2)
• All My Loving (Beatles)
• All Revved Up No Place to Go (Meatloaf)
• All Shook Up (Elvis)
• All Star (Smash Mouth)
• All The Same (Sick Puppies)
• All These Things That I’ve Done (The Killers)
• All You Need is Love (The Beatles)

This week I want you to find TEN songs in your Music Library that have a common word in the title and here are the rules.

• You are not allowed to use “the, I, a, you, me, and, or”
• Anything else goes. The more uncommon the word the more points you get.
• Have Fun!

Bonus: Find Ten songs that have a common theme about the title.

Video included just for fun.

Watching Jeopardy tonight I noticed the generalization of the categories. An example of a category from tonight’s show was “Double E’s”. The Answers in a form of a Question were any words with two E’s in them like “What is Speed Trap”. Another topic was “Dogs”. Come on!

I don’t think they are trying hard enough. We need to help them, but picking six random trivia topics would be too easy. So I will give you some rules.

• Pick six specific trivia topics that are about you.
• Each one would be your expertise.
• If you saw them appear on the Jeopardy board as a contestant you’d know you would win.
• You have to come up with a clever Jeopardy style category title.
• You can explain them if you feel you need to.
• Have Fun!

Bonus: Give an example of the $1000 Answer for each category.
