Ozy and Millie: the Movie

[mrpwase]

I guess I'm wrong. It would work as a film. I was reading the Monty Python autobiography (I don't know if anyone else actually knows anything about MP, bloody yanks <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->), and they said that 'The Search for the Holy Grail' didn't have a plot - there was just one goal, to find the Holy Grail. Anything that happened along the way was, of course, complete nonsense. Maybe that kind of thinking could be applied to an O&M film. But you'd need a central goal of some kind (vanquishing evil? <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... s/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif' /><!--endemo-->).

Trust me, a large number of us are avid MP fans =D<br><br>And yes, applying an MP-like approach to a movie would work very well with O&M.

I'd just like to say I think the movie would spoil the whole atmosphere - it works best as a strip with short story arcs, and besides, the voices are your own. If it was animated, it would have to remain silent, in case it ruined peoples' imagined voices (*Kicks Harry Potter films very hard for employing actors in the first place - ok, i know its kinda hypocritic but i don't care*) . It wouldn't see except to devoted fans. That's why I didn't read the whole thread because ppl were suggesting voices.

[Ozymandias]

If a film has no goal it goes nowhere, and nobody feels like they got anythin out of it.

[mrpwase]

It's alright to have a clear goal and get there by any means possible (Holy Grail), but a film with no plot, no storyline, just doesn't work. There would be no ultimate ending - it would just be a big convoluted nothing, with an anti-climax at the end.<br><br>Incidentally, The Holy Grail never actually finishes properly either, because they ran out of money. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://definecynical.mancubus.net/forum ... iggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Why can;t ther just be a bunch of un-conected crazzyness. I think that woudl work as qwell. There dosn;t need to bve some over arching scheam. Ozy and Millie woudl be that. I kow I would be rocking out of my chair laughing so hard my splean exits trhoguh my nose. The random\ness can asist that.

[mrpwase]

I think that would work more as a TV series - you have one 'storyline' per show. Films really do need some plot, or they fall down fast.

You aprantly havn;t seen the Rocky and Bullwinkle movie. Damn that thigns hard to get.

[Ozymandias]

Nope, I didn't see that but if you've ever watched Kess then a ) you've wasted an hour and a bit of your life and b ) you'll see that it goes nowhere.<br><br>It a boy, and he ends up where he started, getting bullied at school and hating his brother. *YAWN*

No one says a movie can't be episodic in nature.

[Ozymandias]

An interesting concept 5h

[norsenerd]

I've seen several movies that were eposodic in nature.

[norsenerd]
