Thanks to everyone who submitted entries in our silly sequels/April Fool's Titanic 2 contest, and congrats to all of you for your great ideas (now be sure to trademark them before Hollywood actually makes them into real movies). It was hard for us to pick a single best sequel, but, to quote Christopher Lambert's Highlander, "there can be only one" (or, in Highlander's case, maybe four and a t.v. show).
Kudos -- and free summer movie tickets -- then, to our winner, whombelltolls, whose great entry bears repeating (actually, our winner and several others submitted more than one entry, but, as per the rules, we only counted everyone's first entry)...
Here is whombelltolls' winning silly sequel idea:
9,999 B.C. - A year later! John Cusack stars as the confused caveman searching for a true love without having to club her over the head with a mammoth tusk. Cusack is a quirky but likeable member of the tribe who is slightly different: he doesn't want to break rocks, pick up rocks, trade rocks or throw rocks. His search extends far away from his valley village called 'Encino' and along the way picks up co star Jeremy Piven who acts as his friend and agent in finding the woman of his dreams, Lisa Bonet (who needs no hair or wardrobe change from the last Cusack film she was in: High Fidelity). The ice age has started and in a contest to win Lisa Bonet's hand the tribal custom is to have a downhill ski race against the evil tribal elder, 'Viper' - played by Tom Skeritt. As expected the race ends in our hero's favor and he and Lisa Bonet ride off on Cusack's black steed, 'Camaro'...because Lisa wants to attend art school in Paris.
Once again, thanks to all who participated! We'll be sure to let you know about more upcoming (and likely just as silly) movie contests!
