I want to make a show called "shipped" where we cut back and forth between two attractive, upwardly mobile 20 somethings who are both romantically unsuccessful. We make it clear that they are obviously perfect for each other (similar in some ways and perfectly compensating where the other lacks.) We make it clear that they have mutual friends in common. So like, dudes best friend plays pick-up sports with girl's gay roommate, and then some other two degree connection.

Then, twice a season they almost meet (like they sit on the same bus. Or they attend the same party but one leaves just before the other arrives). We repeat this over for like 4 years, showing them continually failing in romance and becoming more and more desperate. And then the show just ends. Like we make it seem like they are going to sit next to each other on a plane or something, and then one of them just get's hit by a car and dies.

and it's about how true love is theoretically possible, but always just out of reach because the universe is conspiring against you.

How I almost met your mother.
How I flogged the dolphin.
Just some thoughts on cheesy titles.

A film that's basically "DIE HARD" except John Mcclane is a bunch of SJWs and Hans Gruber is a guy who is going to say the N-word to two friends in the privacy of his own home.

At this point, I'd rather have a fucking king tell me that i'm his subject than a neocon or a neolib telling me that "we're going to increase taxes because this is for the good of the whole. and I did this for you, I was doing this for you, I am your public servant." No you aren't; you're raping and eating children on an island in the south pacific, and then telling me I'm insane for pointing this out for like a decade. And then when it comes out as true, you're like "well yes, you were true the whole time, but it was only this one person; it wasn't me." Fuck you.
