30 Days of Creativity 2012: Day 30

This is it! The last day of the creativity project. Thank you to everyone who encouraged me with ideas, props, and comments.

Today’s theme from 30 Days of Creativity is “Star.” The Ram directs a lost chapter of the Star Wars movie franchise, Star Wars: Fashionistas Face Off.

Cast:
The Muses (called the “Hangers” by their enemies), led by Top Model Summer
The Monsters (known as the “Posers” by their enemies), led by Nefera de Nile
Yoda
A bunch more characters not pictured

Plot Synopsis: New Muses who haven’t yet appeared on Runway Monday realize the Monsters have attempted a coup, and Summer agrees to lead them in battle. When Yoda becomes aware of a disturbance in the Fashion Force, he arrives to broker a peace accord between the Muses and the Monsters.

Done, I am.

30 Days of Creativity 2012: Day 29

Only one more day to go! Today’s theme from 30 Days of Creativity is “Blocks.”


The Ram directs the Six Merry Murderesses of the Cook County Jail as they sing “The Cell Block Tango” from the movie Chicago. Rumor has it that the shoot went so long that the Monsters sheared him. He had it coming.

Thanks to Lindsey for the movie idea and to Tom for the black duct tape that became “Wardrobe.”

30 Days of Creativity 2012: Day 28

Today’s theme from 30 Days of Creativity is “Notebook.”


The Ram directs a scene from the movie The Rum Diary. He actually thought of renaming the film The Ram Diary, but out of deference to Hunter S. Thompson and Johnny Depp, he restrained himself. And though you can’t really see them, Kemp and Chenault are wearing vintage clothes from the period of the film’s setting. Viva la fashion!

With thanks to Lisa S for the car, and to Tom for moving bins around until he found it for me.

30 Days of Creativity 2012: Day 27

Today’s theme from 30 Days of Creativity is “Aspirin.”


The Ram directs a scene from the movie Author! Author!

I was stumped by the “Aspirin” theme. Should I do a scene from The Hangover? Should I try to reenact that moment in The Birdcage when Agador persuades Albert to take a “pirin?” Those didn’t really inspire me. Then I remembered a favorite scene of mine from 1982’s Author! Author! with Al Pacino (as playwright Ivan) and Dyan Cannon (as actor Alice Detroit). They’ve met at the Plaza so Ivan can talk Alice into appearing in his play, and while they’re sitting there, the waiter sets three glasses of champagne in front of Alice. As they talk, she takes sips of champagne from each glass, followed by a pill. Ivan’s curiosity finally gets the better of him.

Ivan: Why do you take aspirin with champagne?

Alice: Oh, champagne gives me a headache.

By the way, that scene has a blooper. Alice actually takes four pills, although only three were on the table. I’ve opted to go for continuity.

30 Days of Creativity 2012: Day 23

Today’s theme from 30 Days of Creativity is “Happy Hour.”


The Ram directs a scene from his film Cocktail.

Warning: The Surgeon General has determined that references to the movie Cocktail can lead to an earworm infestation. Whatever you do, DON’T let the Beach Boys’ “Kokomo” enter your brain and–d’oh, too late!

Full disclosure: I have received no compensation from TGI Friday’s for product placement. Cheap bastards.
