OMG... Hollywood's gone to the Dogs.
And Kitty's been doing a lot of Catnip lately.

I would totally watch this movie.
Reminds me of the time Rocko visited Bighead Studios, and he saw the storyboard artists making his own cartoon. I love stuff like that.

When I got to the end all I could think was "Its gonna be a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG day."
I enjoy viewing your comics, they are always a lot of fun to read.

Wow, a really true fantasy movie, based on... fantasy. Just believe in yourself that you can make rotten movies.
Looks like a scene out of The Sweatbox (Google/YouTube it).
Oh, and there's got to be a kid in it, a dog too. Make sure the kid is allowed unchaperoned onto super classified secret to everyone military bases to wander around asking questions.
Oh, and ALIENS! Got to have aliens.
ZOMBIES! Yes, I hear those are popular too.
EXPLOSIONS!
GIANT MECHS!
LENSFLARE!
Right, so let's have a good movie with a boxer coming out of retirement to teach his son how to fight in giant armored mechs that are transported back in time through huge explosions to fight the alien monsters through the power of lens flares that blind the aliens. But you're not done, because they are ALIEN ZOMBIES whom swarm the mech and the boxer has to get out and fight one on one with the zombie swarm to protect a young woman and her even younger brother with his dog. Don't bother naming her- this comedy love interest will only make it through this movie to be replaced entirely with another person in the sequel. Keep the dog though.
Alright, let's get a move on it! Action!

And don't forget to set the camera's to: "Shakey blur mode" during fight scenes. =P
Ha! This is like an illustrated Mark Evanier anecdote. Spot on, I'm sure...
Reminds me of stories I've heard about Leon Schlesinger. He'd hear animators laughing and say "What's so funny about making cartoons?"
I heard that one was Eddie Selzer.
Schlesinger was actually the closest thing they had to a dream executive - even though he had a combover and yacht, he would give instructions like "Put in more jokes, jokes are funny" and leave them alone. "Put in more purple, purple'th a funny color." If only I had execs like that...

Actually, this might have been a page out of my Grade Four experience with English copositions.
This totally reminds me of college. "There's only one truth" -> *Another movie maker shows that things can be done differently* -> "Now 'THIS' is the only one truth" -> *rinse-repeat* =P
Very tasty irony. Sometimes I wonder what it's like working on a children's production - I'm sure the cheery output often masks a shitload of depression and anxiety that went into making it!
I can't stand movies that are like this! That's why I always check to see what the critics say and whether or not the writing is at least above average.
Cue the part where he has a storyboard artist fired for adlibbing an inconsequential sound effect onto a scene, like 'hmph'. ;)
It would seem that showbiz is a ruthless creature indeed...
Dear god, every exec out there. I can't even remember these movies two weeks later, because they all sound the same in my head. "After he learns to believe in himself, he defeats the experts soundly." Save the Cat. I measure movies these days by how badly their 'save the cat' quotient gets in the way of being interesting.
My college Rhetoric instructor remembered his brother sold a project to Universal, and he got the script job. And he remember the producers would actually call him and ask "Where does he save the cat?" and reference the book chapter and verse in their arguments. It pissed him off so much he quit and went into mumblecore.
John Kricfalusi had a really damn funny post about executive language. "We need a Scooby beat and a character arc in here." That sort of thing. (The character always goes from one pole to the other, with no interesting curves. Really damn boring, and painfully obvious.) "
http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/sear.....cutive tales
"Let's run it up the flagpole and see if it sticks"
"We need a Scooby Beat here"
"We need to lay in a pipeline..."
From Steve (also known as Spaz):
"This is bald, but..." (the whole idea isn't there yet, but here's a start...)
"what's the story arc" ( supposedly all characters need an "arc";
beginning/middle/end; and apparently so does the story)
"internal logic" ( the public won't get it)
"it's a buy" (idiots sign off on it)
"it has no payoff" (who knows; I still can't figure out if it's a gay term)
"yelling is never funny, spaz" (this is what a Disney exec told me)
"it needs a turn" (the story is linear and needs a twist; why? don't ask me)
"I'll knit it together" (put 2 paragraphs together)
"it dovetails nicely" (segues into another idea)
"if you pull that string, it all unravels" (gay term again, about dangling ideas')
"too much pipe" ( this one always got me; i think it means the opposite of "it needs a turn")
"it's just chuffa" ( a hebrew term for "fluff")
Or Anon describing his pitch to a new exec who came to the meeting ten minutes late, still on his cell phone -
"I never actually got to say anything for the ass-ec quickly launched into a full flurry of buzz words to describe the series he was looking for: "fresh," "hip," "hot," "out of the box," and the ever popular "cutting edge," which I happened to be fantasizing about applying to his jugular at that moment. As an added bonus, he became intensely involved in examining his right shoe, to the point he removed his Bass weejun and traced his finger over the stitching while continuing to blather on about "narrative arcs," "the heroes' journey," "Joseph Campbell," and other expressions gleaned from a STAR WARS "Making Of" bonus feature." Ye gods, it's ridiculous.

Sadly reminiscent of my own job, and I don't even work in entertainment.
Pardon that I am late to comment on this, but I can imagine these sort of meetings taking place a lot curently in every animated-movie production studio in Hollywood, sadly enough. (and perhaps a few children's films.)
