The movie PSA I posted earlier, Duel, got me thinking. It could easily have been inspired by an STW thread! 😉
Which thread/s would you like to see made into a film?
I suspect there are a lots of candidates!
Sudocreme cat & the picolax threads.
That or some farce caper where a couple of lads reckon they can beat the bike industry at its own game, making stuff better, cheaper, against all odds, despite all the naysayers, they sail off into the sunset as bike industry millionaires
Hollywood ending would be somewhat different from reality, obvs.
Louise surely?
Clearing that past the film crew would be an ecumenical matter, and another 18 rating
And obviously RoboCock
The book's been written and all the best movies are based on books... 😁

Whatever it is, the main character should be based on world-class accident, and played by Nicholas Cage 😀
Some STW big hitters from the political threads are asked to take part in a live broadcast on election night.
The filming location is at a remote highland castle,all travel and expenses are paid for(plus a FREE BAR) ,and they are asked to arrive on the Wednesday.
I am thinking a mix of, Knives Out,Battle Royale with a touch of Traitors.
^^ Add some Dog Soldiers into that mix too, together with the Hunger Games as there are no Greggs nearby for @binners.
I predict cannibalism by day two 😁
Would be a winner if the Dog soldiers arrived in Land Cruisers👍🙃
I do feel like Christopher Nolan's next project should somehow be based on RustyNissanPrairie's adventures in in unloved £500 SUV restoration...

Courtroom drama between STW and the ASAProduct placement being rife, obvs

I'm so conflicted as he's well... a little unusual looking but also so, so good in Detectorists and City of Ember etc!😂
Also: Does Anyone Have the CRC CEO's Email Address?
Man become obsessed with emailing the CEO of a large online retailer to check the status of his order but his investigations show that the CEO never checks his email and has 155,374 unread emails in his inbox. When the man gives up and goes home, he finds that his new bike had been delivered on time.
I'm genuinely surprised that Hollywood hasn't already snapped up that post about the Edinburgh karate club full of six figure earning lawyers that could beat up everyone in the UFC
The Giant warranty saga in the style of “Erin Brockovitch”.
Any movie based on STW threads will start off being about a couple of guys buying a used car with the plan to restore it, will half way through inexplicably turn into a existential drama about the privilege of being a white man able to afford the current cost of living crisis, and will end up as a political drama about the dangers of fascism and the rise of populism. It will end without concluding the plot but with an undercurrent of barely concealed seething resentment.
The car will not be restored
Man starts cocktail bar not serving mojito’s
STW derides bar as hipster nonsense
Man is STWer
STW now backtracks hilariously
link??
I'd go to see Ken Loache's take on 'Watches N+1' as a bit of social commentary, it could be a trilogy along with 'which Gagia should I buy' and 'wood burners?'
In my mind the Picolax thread only really works as a Jason Statham film where a man (Statham) having been somehow duped into taking the stuff by the russian mafia, has several 15 minute, single take martial arts sequences each one ending with him needing a break for explosive diarrhea. The locations he has to shit becoming increasingly precarious.
I wish this thread had links – I’m intrigued by millionaire kickboxers.
They weren't kickboxers, they were black belt Taekwondo blokes.
They worked in the Edinburgh finance markets and could knack any of the MMA fighters but didn't bother because their day jobs paid better.
They also regularly injured their friends, broken jaws and the like.
The locations he has to shit becoming increasingly precarious.
Watch Generation Kill. You might get some ideas from that.
The Crown Race.
One mans quest to find answers... Something something.
Minimal script... Long though.
Surely the iDave diet, didnt that turn into a scam and he ran off with everyones money?
Involved a lot of Chorizo iirc

Obviously guy in trapped in a house when a gang of vicious criminal break in
all he has to defend himself are his wits , some Home Alone style traps and......
Disproportionately Cross escalated to full Falling Down
Sorry, but I still want a ****ing mojito - so that won't work.
Maybe a mash-up with Poopy's story to make RoboCocktail?
But I think Kimbers has nailed it though: Owned With Bombers works for me.
Anyone suggesting the Picolax thread... you didn't really think about that, did you?
Storyville / Ross Atkins does:

I am a little worried about how many times my name has come up as 'movie potential' when you then lookj at the viewing figures for my amazing "Are you bored enough to watch..." film series.
I also feel thi si a little close for comfort right now, but I WILL FINISH MY CAR PROJECT
