hey guys, I'm about to start writing a movie

since I often do things backwards I was reading about pitching a movie. then I wrote my pitch

I did five things with this movie:
1) I have opened up a new world of film by seamlessly weaving together bizarre humor and situation with traditional story telling
2) I speak for a generation of hipster kids ((who don't know what's really hip yet))
3) I humanize the main character – who is a naive clint eastwood type
4) the overall story, the foundation that my characters live in, is smart and well paced
5) and finally, the story and conclusion is relatable and traditional although I approach it at absolutely new bizarre angles

yeah, #5 is basically #1
anyways, I'm gonna use this pitch as a template for the movie I'm going to start writing any second now

Lorax, if you're not already writing it, you're a liar, and I won't ever trust you enough to see your creation
