Another Sequel

Field Of Dreams 2: The Reckoning

The movie picks up about four years after the ending of the first one.

Back in small town Iowa Ray (Kevin Costner) is struggling emotionally to keep the field up. Countless amounts of people are coming day and night to see this field of wondrous dreams, Karin (yeah, it has an "i", I looked it up) was right. There are so many people that Ray has long been neglecting everything else. Annie and Karin left two years ago due to the neglect. Mark (Timothy Busfield), Annie's brother is helping Ray to tend to the field.

Ray begins to do the math and realizes, that even though he is only 42, he can retire because of all the people that have come so far. He decides that he will declare that he is going to destroy the field. In doing so, he sees a big opportunity to make more money and jacks up the ticket prices. Shoeless Joe, now played by Thomas Ian Nicholas, of American Pie and Rookie of the Year fame sees what Ray is doing and, even though he's only there because he loves it in the first place refuses to ay anymore, unless Ray stops his unyielded greed. Terence Mann, (James Earl Jones) steps in from the corn field to save the day. He tries to win Ray over with his stories from the beyond, and when that doesn't work, he tries to sway over Joe with the reminded that it was part of the grand plan to charge people money in the first place. This also does not work.

It is not until The Voice (himself [look at the credits, not IMDB]) comes back to Ray that any sort of movement on the issue comes about. The Voice tells Ray he needs to "heal his wounds." After days of trying to figure out what it means, he comes to the conclusion that he needs to hunt down Annie and Karin to try to win them back.

Movie Sequels

I was having a conversation with my muse, Mr. Jarrett K. Sacks about why they never made a sequel to The Rock, and it inspired me to write this blog, plot outlines of potential sequels.

The Rock 2: Goodspeed's Adventure

This movie picks up during the current day, roughly ten years after the original. It starts out with Stanley Goodspeed (Nicolas Cage) looking at the microfilm he obtained by following John Mason's (Sean Connery) instructions to the church. He finishes looking at it and puts the film back into a wall safe he has behind a large wall paining of Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Just then his now ten year old child he had with Carla enters the room. Carla and Stanley are now divorced, I mean, really, who ever saw that relationship working. Stanley asks his son, named John Mason Goodspeed, if he's ready to go his mom's. He takes him over there, and then goes to a party, after being coaxed by Marvin Isherwood (Todd Louiso), his old and still current colleague at the FBI lab. Isherwood wants him to stop whining and meet a new girl.

Goodspeed finds a girl he somewhat likes but is already extremely drunk by this point. He decides to tell her he knows who shot JFK, thinking it would impress her, and in his drunken state he thinks it is a good idea. A few people overhear him, and most play it off, but one man takes him seriously, Special Agent Tom Jenkins (Stanley Tucci), from the FBI, who is the number two man to FBI Director Ernest Paxton (William Forsythe) who was in the original and has taken over for FBI Director James Womack, who has recently died.

Paxton, knowing that in all reality Mason did not vaporize back at The Rock must have shown Goodspeed where the microfilm was, and hunts down Goodspeed, pulling him in for questioning, and holding him until he gets the answers he needs.

Mason, who still calls Carla to check up on Stanley, as Stanley has become emotionally detached, finds out that Stanley is missing, and knows immediately what has happened. Mason begins his hunt to free Goodspeed.

After a riveting line of questioning to Goodspeed, he is thrown back into his cell. After lamenting about what his life has become, he hears a noise in the duct above him, it's Mason. Mason has spent the last 3 days in the ventilation system and now knows all of it's ins and outs. After a daring escape Mason and Goodspeed are on the run.

Long time ago

It's been a long time since I bothered to post anything, but the night I just had warrants a post.
It all begins on my way to work. I was driving southbound on Wall, just south of the ever so amazing Pizza Rita when I saw two dogs running eastward on some street and onto Wall. I slammed my brakes on, but alas it was too late. I saw one dog basically just fly forward, or to his right side, and then roll a lot. I didn't see much of the other dog, until they both got up and took off sprinting from the way they came. So, that kinda shook me up, but I continued my trek to work.

I arrive at work at about 4:50 and begin doing the paperwork that is necessary to do my job effectively, when at 4:59 the "captain" gets a call and tells me to go to Walker Construction (the apartment buildings that Gonzaga is in the process of building), because the police are on the way. So I leave immediately and arrive on site at 5:01. I stand around for awhile and wait with the guard we have working there. One of the trailers on site has an infared sensor that detects differences in heat to see if people are in it, hence the reason the cops were on the way. We stand around for about twenty minutes, until I finally decide to leave. I go lock a building up, and realize that a guy hasn't called to say he's at his job site. I try calling him, and no answer. So I began to drive eastward on trent out towards the fairgrounds. All is going well, then I get stopped by a train, for about 7 minutes or so. I finally make it to the site, and the guy is there.
So, I begin traveling back to the office when I get a call from the guy at Walker Construction saying the cops are there. I get to the site about 5 minutes later and the cops are already gone.

While I am there I get an alarm call for an RV center way out in Liberty Lake. So I drive out there and there are two salesmen inside and two customers. They didn't know why the alarm was going off. After about 20 minutes of standing around trying to figure out what was going on, one of the salesmen called the service manager, he was going to come out and make sure everything was okay. So I leave and begin driving back to the office. I then need to make two stops, rather late, and then go back to the office. From the dog incident until getting back to the office about two hours passed. But, on the way back to the office Bryan called me and told me his wife voted for me for 6th congressional district, representative position 2. So, I am now declaring myself an official candidate for any postion you are willing to write me in for.

About 15 minutes later the guy at Walker calls me back and tells me he is really sick, and he does have his fair share of health problems (kidney dialysis), so this means I need to find someone to cover the shift. I call about ten people, then finally decide to get the guy doing patrol after me to come in early and do it. He says he will, so I head back to the office (I did that while making normal patrol stops) to check the monitors. i get to the office and realize I locked my office key in the office. So I call Al back, the crazy guy who will be doing patrol after me/filling in at Walker, and then go pick him up. As I have written before, he doesn't have a car. He lets me in the office, and while in the office I realize a tube of super glue has leaked in my pocket (I will tell the story behind that in a minute.). Now my hands and pocket are covered in super glue, so my hands feel really odd all night. Holy hell it sucked, still does.

Now the story of why I had super glue in my pocket. Two weeks and one day ago I went to burger king for some croissanwich. Twas delicious, but while I was there, the cashier took it upon himself to break my debit card. I glued it back together successfully. Exactly two weeks later, almost even at the same time, I go back. The same fucking douchebag breaks it again. Next time I see him I might break his face. But I was going to super glue it back together again, and bother to go to the bank to get a new card this time. Then the glue leaked in my pocket.

Feel free to laugh at my expense. It was an odd three hours. I've started to not get mad when shitty things happen to me. instead I realize that it will just make a great story later on. Kind of sad that it's progressed to this level.
