Premonitions

***Movie Spoiler Warning***

(The above means don't get mad at me for revealing the end of this movie if you keep reading this)

Last Friday, Geoff and I made some steaks, and sat down to watch a little movie we like to call, PREMONITION, with Sandra Bullock. We heard that it had a tricky ending, so we decided to play a game.

The challenge: after thirty minutes of story time, we write down the ending--basically, what's going on here in PREMONITION land?

So, twenty-five minutes in, I wrote this:

She (Bullock) truly has premonitions, but her reactions to her premonitions end up causing Jim (her husband) to die, when he would not have died if she did not try to arrange life around her premonitions.

This is somewhat right, but five minutes later I wrote:

Jim orchestrates the appearance of his death for his own personal gain and Sandra Bullock is straight up crazy.

This is still somewhat right.

However, I am proud to say Geoff absolutely nailed the ending! I'm still not sure how he did it, except that he must have read some spoiler before watching the movie, and tricked me into thinking he didn't know what would happen.

I've asked Geoff for permission to reprint his writing, and he has generously agreed to let me share his prediction with you. I must warn you, this is some of the best stuff I've seen out of the workshop in years. Brace yourself.

I present Geoff Ashley on...PREMONITION.

"Having contacted Dr. Emmit Brown, Sandra Bullock is taken on an excellent adventure with her old pal Keanu Reeves. In visiting Marty, they discover a lake house where things are not what they seem. Apparently Sandra has concocted a batch of crazy juice made from dead crow parts. This potion summons the Spirit of Brandon Lee who kicks some crazy tail. During the battle, Keanu races the Delorean in his own machine, a phonebooth. However, he dials the wrong number and ends up in the Matrix where Lawrence Fishburne attempts to fight him. When Keanu is backed against the wall he calls forth Brandon into the Matrix. Insanity ensues which is good for Sandra, who doesn't have to make any more crazy juice. Haley Joel Osment pays it forward by seeing the spirit of Sandra's husband, but Bruce Willis dies harder."

I'm still in shock over this, and I've contacted several agents on Geoff's behalf. Who really knows what will happen next in this epic saga of...Premonitions. Stay tuned.

The above is protected under all natural laws, and some laws in a few states that have different laws than the other states for some reason. What is up with those states? Any use of this premonition without express written consent of the author is prohibited, unless verbal consent is given, which is about a 60/40 chance depending on whether you feel lucky or not. Well, do you, punk?
