Fact File # 15 : World War III
Posted by Tina in ink | Posted in Articles | Posted on 15-01-2012
Once upon a time, during a time far away, there was a time when world war 1 was going on. Not too long after that, there was another time when world war 2 was going on. But it was before our time. We haven’t had a world war after that, probably because everyone knows that sequels never make it very far. And to make sure there never was a sequel to 1 and 2, 12 knights sat around a round table and decided to come up with the reasons for which these wars had come about. Of course, they didn’t get far, because we all know that human civilization is not very civilized, and so wars were inevitable.
And with all these movies that are sequels and prequels these days, we’re sure to start world war 3 sooner or later. But people these days don’t know how to throw spears or shoot arrows or fly jet planes upside down, so a modern day world war could never be written about in history books. Like, all we would be doing is throwing cell phone chargers and swearing at people and stuff. Not very educational. This basically means that we will have to rule out wars in the future.
So, our only alternative is to make a movie. People make movies for everything these days. It’s the new trend. For instance: the end of the world (in 2012), failing dams (in Dam 999) and vampire love stories( in Vampires Suck). Now, we know that when making a movie about world war 3, we’re going to have to make it seem real and authentic, without making it too boring or anything.
And somehow, we’re going to have to get around the idea of throwing cell phone chargers at each other and swearing, because somehow, I don’t see people going to see a movie like that. But maybe if we threw in some music routines and a few vampires and zombies we might just pull it off. I don’t know if vampires exist, but I’m sure that we can pull a few kids out of college to play the zombies. We’ll make it a musical.
And of course, I forgot about the extra terrestrial that we could add, and we’re going to need a phone so that he can phone home. Or maybe that’ll be overdoing it. Better stick to vampires and zombies and leave out the other junk. Besides, even though a musical involving zombies and vampires has nothing to do with the story of a war, that type of problem doesn’t seem to bother people these days.
Ready to start filming of the movie World War 3 ( coming shortly to a theater near you),
