Here is the Word Cloud [click on it for a larger view]:

Here is Max with the winners!

This I don’t get: Word Cloud.

Word, I get. I mean I see a bunch of words, so that’s gotta be that, right?

But cloud?

What, it’s gonna rain letters on me? There’s like some, ya’ know, snow or shit hanging out in there?

Besides it doesn’t look like a cloud. To me, it’s like a crossword puzzle on crack.

There’s so much about this modern world I don’t get. But story? I got your back. And front. Left. And center. So here are the five winners of this crossword puzzle on crack challenge:

An elite band of intelligence officers in the future are given their most desperate mission yet — babysit one mean little girl with mysterious powers. — Sabina Giado

James Cameron meets Stephen King. Where do I sign the contract?

A British academic gives up his career to pursue his dream of becoming a DJ. — maryp

You got your comedy, your international market with the whole British thing, sexy visuals of a bunch of dancers skivvying around, and erectile dysfunction music. What’s that… EDM is not erectile dysfunction music? Even better! Not targeting old farts with a pooped pecker, but young people who got ants in their pants and they gotta dance.

A police officer goes undercover inside a high security prison to investigate a series of mysterious murders. — Brian

Lemme bust down the six word version: Undercover cop. Prison. Investigates mysterious murders. I smell movie! And speaking of six word loglines…

Time-traveler troops take back powers. — Nick Fogg

It’s Back to the Future meets Looper meets George S. Patton… “Now I want you to remember that no bastard ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb bastard die for his country.” God, Patton was a great fucking flick!

And here is the Max Millimeter Kitchen Sink Award:

A desperate woman’s optimism crashes crumbling from terrifying brother-in-law arrest caught in undercover female relationships six times focuses British Intelligence searches for criminal plot in deadly London Christmas sleigh dating crime story. — rr6013

I got no damn clue what this is, but if it’s big and it’s got action and CGI and Christmas, how can it go wrong?

Look, let’s face it. This whole challenge deal is just goofy. But know what? If it gets you thinking up story ideas, then hey… that’s the thing, right? Ideas are the lifeblood of Hollywood. And if you ain’t thinking ’em up, somebody else is. So every day, you should come up with at least one story idea. Every. Damn. Day.

There you have it, words of wisdom from Max Millimeter: Legendary Hollywood Movie Producer.
