I have a brilliant idea. I'm going to hop on a plane tomorrow and head to Hollywood. I will make a bijillion dollars writing movie scripts.

(Idea #1) OK, there are these two people, and they fall in love. But they can't be together - there's an impossible and almost insurmountable barrier between them. All through the movie, one person is trying to get them back together but circumstances and bad timing keep them apart. At some point during the movie, one of them loses hope but the other doesn't. And then at the very end of the movie, they end up together. The End.

“But wait”, you say. “That's been done already.” Really, sounds original to me. “How about Casablanca? An Affair to Remember? Sleepless in Seattle? You've Got Mail? Kate and Leopold? Ghost? City of Angels? Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind? The Lake House?” OK, OK, you've got me. I have another idea. (By the way, that's a lot of Meg Ryan movies in there. I'm glad she's given the forlorn lost love role up.)

(Idea #2) Now, this has not been done before. You take two people, and at first they are just friends. He helps her with something. She helps him with something. In the end, the two friends realize true love is staring them in the face. They end up together. The End.

“Sorry, that has been done too.  When Harry Met Sally? French Kiss? Addicted to Love? Forrest Gump?”

OK, I give up. I guess I'll stay here in Toronto writing blog entries.
