Dark City, new rolls

So, I rolled again:

12--journey/road-trip
   4  ashtray/cigarettes/cigar
   12  fire
   [10  steering wheel

7--paranoid fiction
  18 eyeglasses
  19  open/locked door
  [7  compass

1--science fiction
  6  book
  9 peanut butter
  [3 dirty martini

6--silent
  12 fire
  15  wrestling
  [3 dirty martini

Ok, some more choices.  Any of these look interesting for a second round?  The third [ is for maybe or maybe not 3rd object...

    

Jim thought all these are boring. More options:

Mystery
  Compass
  Fire
  Phone

Or

Undead
  Math equation
  Suitcases
  Ashtray/cigarettes

Random Rolls...

Ok, I did some random rolls, and actually did 3 instead of 2, since the first, the very first genre number was 14... (a last minute genre addition by Jay S.)

Here's what I generated:
Set one:
14.  Musical
5.  Suitcases
6.  Book


Set two:
4.Thriller/Psychological Thriller
13.  Bar/bartender
18.  Pocketwatch

Set three:
10.  End of the World
4.  Unopened letter/letter
15.Wrestling

Ok, so now we need a plan.  Jim says we should mull this over and try to meet--I hope on Thursday at the Berg, since I need to be there for Round Table this week.  We don't all have to show up, but would be good to get feedback.  Re:

we all choose any of these, and just write a script?
we throw out two and all work on one set?
how long would this film be?  (Jim, between tequila and pickle juice shots, suggested 5-7 min...)
when do we finish?
and other stuff.

So, let, um, Jim know...know

later, bob

Dark City Script Generation

Ok, here's more (rather than less) of what we posted for topics:

Genre:

1.  Science Fiction
2.  Ecology
3.  Cyberpunk
4.  Thriller/Psychological Thriller
5.  Mystery/Mystery Thriller
6.  Silent
7.  Paranoid fiction
8.  Slice of Life
9.  Comedy
10.  End of the World
11.  Fantasy
12.  Journey/road-trip
13.  Alternate History
14.  Musical    [shudder...]


Objects:

1.  Sloth
2.  Naked bodies
3.  Dirty martini
4.  Unopened letter/letter
5.  Suitcases
6.  Book
7.  Compass
8.  Roach/beetle
9.  Peanut butter
10.  Cigarettes
11.  Hand sanitizer
12.  Fire
13.  Bar/bartender
14.  River
15.  Wrestling
16.  Computer/network/avatar
17.  Phone
18.  Pocket Watch
19.  Open/locked door
20.  Math equation 



 Decide if we need to add or delete any items, and then, according to Jim, we'll roll for one genre and 2 objects as a framework to generate scripts.  I'd suggest that we roll two sets, and vote on which one we want to pursue, then decide on a time-limit, and start writing.
