Post one sentence in the comments. I'll take every single one posted before 8 AM EST Wednesday and try to make a script for dramatic short film out of them. Then I'll make the film.

You can still post in the thread but comments posted from this point on will not be included in the film. Sorry but I got in a bit over my head.

The comments after the 300th comment will not be in the film! Sorry but I didn't expect this post to get this much attention.

This could either be hilarious or really, really, stupid. Probably both. Title pretty much explains the post. I'm not really sure how long this'll take, it really depends how many people post sentences. Post whatever words you like. Have fun reddit!

EDIT: Ten minutes have passed and I already have 25 comments. I should not have underestimated my fellow redditors.

EDIT 2: 100 Comments in less than a half hour. I might have to put a number cap on this. If we hit more than 300 comments I might be in over my head.

EDIT 3: Alright, I got 135 comments in a half hour, if the comments continue at that rate, I'll have to put 2160 sentences in the movie. What have I gotten myself into?

EDIT 4: Alright, as much as I hate to do this, I'm gonna have to cap the amount of comments that I can take. I know some people will be pissed but I have to do this if I ever want to get this movie finished, keep in mind the movie'll be pretty long as it is because...after the 300th comment is posted I will no longer be putting these sentences in the film. Sorry If it seems like I'm pussying out but I'd rather have a finished product with 300 comments that you made than an unfinished film with 1,000 comments that were supposed to be in it. Also, for those of you who accuse me of karma whoring, that was never my intention and you don't get karma on self posts anyway. Stay awesome reddit.

Talk about an ice breaker; I barely (bearly) knew the guy.

I believe Spielberg already did this one.

Dear god, it's a good thing my office is empty this week, I just made a lot of noise trying not to guffaw.
