The Man Who Liked Blue Shirts

By On September 22, 2010 · 7 Comments · In Fashion, Money, Screenwriting

So maybe you know I am big on the impulse buy and that means when those cheap things are in my face at the checkout.

Gum is one of those which is why I have so much gum all the time.

Well there’s another way things make me give away my money dollars and I wrote this short screenplay about it and it’s called the thing in the title and that’s The Man Who Liked Blue Shirts and this really happened to me yesterday.

EXT. MALL – DAY

Establishing shot of a cool mall. There is a huge WAR going on in the parking lot between Brazil and Albania.

INT. MALL/STORE – DAY

BRIAN, a cool guy who is so cool, walks into this trendy clothing store. A SALESMAN approaches.

SALESMAN

Say, fella! You look like a man who enjoys blue!

BRIAN

It’s my favorite. How did you -

SALESMAN

(cuts him off)

Have I got the shirt for you!

The Salesman whips out a BLUE SHIRT. Brian is pretty amazed, yet suspicious.

SALESMAN (CONT’D)

Well, go on then!

Brian takes off his shirt and puts on the blue shirt. He looks slowly over to a mirror, like Bruce Willis.

BRIAN

(hushed)

I’ll take it.

Do you think I could stretch that into a whole movie and sell it to Lifetime if I made a find/replace for Brian and Brianna happen.

    I think you could do it provided the Albanians invade the mall pursued by Brazilian zombies from their World Cup winning soccer team.

    Are they boy zombies or girl zombies though. #soccer

    I think they would be girl zombies who wanted Brianna’s blue shirt but also boy zombies who wanted Brianna. I think that maybe Cinemax or HBO would be better for the part where Brianna takes off her shirt and puts on the blue shirt. Although after watching Hellcats, maybe the CW would want this movie.

    If the whole movie was you staring into the mirror in no shirt then a blue shirt, it would be in IMAX and people would pay double.

    There’s a song over the credits maybe that’s just a trumpet playing a sad song. Man would that make people think about how deep they can be.
