On the subject of writing 80's movie sequels...
Megan: you know what game badly needs a sequel?
like really badly
tic tac toe.
Jason: Turner and Hooch
M: how is that a game?
Jason: I saw game after I started writing. lol. I thought what needs a sequel really badly
but there probably was an NES movie tie in game. lol
M: what would the turner and hooch II script look like?
Jason: well there'd be Zombies in it cause I'm pretty sure Hooch dies
M: the dog's been dead for at least two decades
and tom hanks has been an astronaut, a cowboy, a war hero and a fucking band manager since then, he's way better than the cop shit now
Jason: the twist at the end is it's a halucination of Tom Hank's character in Cast Away
M: That's terrible, Jason.
we need it more sequel-y
Jason: hmmm.. ok..
M: so it's turner's kid or something
Jason: so.. a new Turner.. teamed with a new dog
M: trying to step outta the shadows of his dad's accomplishments
Jason: but they need Tom Hank's help to take down a bad guy and close a case he never could.
M: but they're estranged, so it's difficult, yknow? since mom died and all
Jason: yep.. tensions.. first time they've seen each other since the funeral
cause he never knew his dad cause his dad was all *WORK*
M: then we got this slobbery ass motherfuckin dog to help ease the tension
Jason: and then his dad was all despondent from hooch's death
so his dad could never be there for his son
but now he can be
M: New Hooch should be some kind of high strung dog who's also lazy. Like a whippet or something
Jason: sadly. this sounds like a real sequel. haha
M: it really does
Jason: but has to be believable as a police dog.
M: oh. shit. um.
Jason: Weimereiner?
M: can the force afford a wei?
Jason: no
M: no.
weiner dogs?
Jason: hahaha
mini dachsund lol
M: *scattle scattle scattle*
I think the bulldog thing's been done.
Jason: yep.
M: stay focused, rookie.
so who's the bad guy in this thing?
we need like a baaad dude
Jason: drug dealer is too on the nose
M: embezzler?
Jason: pedo? or is that too dark?
M: too dark for a dog movie
Jason: embezzler is too 80s
cat burgler?
M: we're writing a sequel to turner and hooch and THATS the too 80s part?!
Jason: HAHAHAH
we gonna update it!
M: we need a crime that would lead to an epic chase scene
Jason: terrorism angle?
M: so maybe our bad guy is like taking over airports
Jason: it could involve a tank?
M: and gutting the planes full of precious cargo
that gives us entire tarmacs to work with
Jason: so Die Hard 2 with a dog?
M: goddamnit.
Jason: yeah.
See.. this is why film executives make the big bucks.
weapons smuggler.
M: is that even a thing anymore?
Jason: there's your terrorism angle.. cause he's selling to terrorist… but without like, fighting arabs.
and he's like stealing from the US Military putting The Troops (capital letters) in danger.
M: nah.
Jason: hackers?
M: cus then it'd be like NCIS and not local police shit
Jason: Turner don't care!
Maybe Turner is ATF!
ATF has dogs!
M: human trafficking?
Jason: yes.. but that could be dark too.. tho not as dark as pedo
M: this might be the longest jasonandmeganshow entry ever lol
Jason: and it's not done yet. haha
but we have the meat.. we just need the big 3rd act
M: if people only knew the extent we take our awful jokes...
Jason: and nobody's ever going to see this. This effort is just for the amusement of the movie now playing in our own minds. lol
M: okay, okay wait. I got it. our bad guy is set in LA, right? he's somehow taking over the airwaves
he's a hollywood bigshot who's been burned by the industry and he's gone rogue
we gotta figure out who this clown is who is taking over our TV/radio/etc
Jason: hmm.. k..
what if it's the music industry not a film guy?
M: like that incident with the guys in the masks
Jason: sure.. yeah.
Hmmm. I like it.
Or… to echo the dynamic between turner and his dad..
M: cus I mean, this is the digital age, its "hacking" too
Jason: what if there's a missing kid involved? or a hostage?
M: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Max_Headroom_broadcast_signal_intrusion
yes, he steals the CBS exec's kid
Jason: yeah.. and the exec doesn't even really notice
M: we've got gold.
Jason: he just hears after the fact from his security people.
god.. somebody should pay us. hahahah
M: we're fucking awesome.
Jason: so awesome.
I have no idea what to read now that I’ve burned through Game of Thrones and Potter in the last half year or so. Maybe Ready Player One? Any suggestions?

At this rate I think I need to start wearing underwear that say “for display purposes only.”
oh beer

why are you so good

Wilco bonus song from Conan
Finished the second half of the deathly Hallows today. That’s a lot of reading. I feel like I’ve been run through a wringer. The movie always triggers a bunch of stuff in my own life. Loves and losses that follow me like ghosts.
Ugh.
