Io9.com Joss WhedonJoss Whedon in 5 (imaginary) movies about your favourite childhood gamesMonday 1 March 2010, by Webmaster 1.) Joss Whedon’s POGs Genre: Slumber party space odyssey Plot: Earth is under the thrall of the so-called "POG Tribunal," which consists of three despotic demon races: the Ankylosaurus-like "Pineapples," the mottled, vampiric "Oranges," and the "Guavas," who look like exactly like humans but smell vaguely of fruit punch. The POGs have barricaded our planet behind a impenetrable force field and are mind-wiping all survivors for use as domestics. Earth has only one hope to break this barricade: the starship Slammer, which is piloted by a trio of brassy sorceresses known as the Furies. The Furies are perpetually accompanied by their janitor, Ralston, who suffers from psychosomatic erectile dysfunction. Cast: Maxi Fleetfoot: Charisma Carpenter Mag Sammich: Eliza Dushku Lt. Zeena Spandau: Summer Glau Ralston: Alan Tudyk Sample Scene: [Interior of the Slammer. RALSTON has some down time and is enjoying his favorite hobby: macramé] RALSTON: The sooner I macramé this ski cap, the sooner my ears will be warm. Mmmm, macraméy. [MAG SAMMICH, MAXI FLEETFOOT, and ZEENA SPANDAU stride in.] MAG: Get the fuck out of here, Ralston. The Herkies need the conference room. ["The Herkies," of course, is the Furies’ pet term for themselves, as they compare their gang of space vigilantes to the 1960s Hanna-Barbera cartoon The Herculoids.] RALSTON: Sigh. Now it is time for me to be alone. In space. Appropriate. [RALSTON shambles off. He falls asleep in an air lock and asphyxiates whilst clutching a pair of gym shorts he purloined from Zeena’s boudoir.] Click on the link for more : http://io9.com/5482133/5-imaginary-movies-about-your-favorite-childhood-games |
