Dream Movie Challenge 2.0

The Rip Chat decided to do another movie challenge and here's the cast I was given:

Stephanie Beatriz, Tom Ellis, Malcolm Goodwin, Michiel Huisman, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Isla Fisher, Harrison Ford and my wildcard was Dame Helen Mirren. I added Amy Pemberton, Keith Szarabajka and Beth Riesgraf. I swapped out Michiel Huisman for Arthur Darvill. It is for the Rip Chat, after all!

Stephanie Beatriz

– Carla Gibbons, works for Mayor Tom Goddard and knows where all the bodies are buried. In exchange for keeping quiet, when he steps down he’ll throw all his support and his campaign team behind her.

Tom Ellis

– Terry Meres, assigned as Michael’s partner to show him the ropes. Bond over being Englishmen in New York.

Malcolm Goodwin

– Archie Barlow, cop and thief in charge of the evidence lock-up which also doubles as the safe of the ill-gotten goods of the thieves who have infiltrated police stations throughout the city. Only Archie knows exactly where the stolen goods are and to whom they now belong, minus Queen Bess’ twenty per cent.

Arthur Darvill

– Michael Stewart, who moved to New York City when his wife, Emily Lucas-Stewart was hired by a prestigious law firm. He’s about to discover an entirely new world and set of rules.

Emmy Raver-Lampman

– Alice Hardy, hacker who works for Queen Bess. After all, information is power and Queen Bess is the most powerful person in the city.

Isla Fisher

– Lily Heather Ross, lawyer at Emily Lucas-Stewart’s new firm who has recently moved in with her lover, Archie. If Archie’s criminal doings come to light, he has a lawyer ready and willing to defend him fiercely. Recently, there’s been talk of marriage.

Harrison Ford

– Mayor Tom Goddard, on the whole has been a good mayor for New York but not without a dark side. Life’s been good but perhaps it’s time to begin his retirement soon, somewhere without an extradition treaty with the United States.

Wildcard - Helen Mirren

– Police Commissioner/Queen of thieves Elizabeth Dean/Queen Bess. Now that her grandson is in the city, perhaps it’s time to retire and live the high life. First, she has to meet him and decide if he’s capable of running her operation.

Amy Pemberton

- Emily Lucas-Stewart, lawyer, Michael’s wife, they moved recently to the city when she accepted a job at a prestigious law firm

Keith Szarabajka

– Emily Lucas-Stewart’s boss, Charles ‘Chaz’ Bellingham. A brilliant lawyer and head of the firm, Bellingham, Davis and Williams.

Special Cameo by Beth Riesgraf

(Hit the image limit, but here's the picture I chose for this post: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Dmebv_6YpzM/URVng8CKOgI/AAAAAAADvhE/NuaBSSQm2wU/s150/Beth_Riesgraf_Photo19.jpg

- Parker, who walks out of the police station with several ill-gotten goods from Archie’s lock-up. His mission is to find her and convince her to return them to her before the others find out.

Location - Police Station

A Day In The Life

SUMMARY:

A day in the life of select police and lawyers.

PLOT:

Emily and Michael Lucas-Stewart moved from London, England to New York City a couple of months ago, where Emily became a high profile associate at Bellingham, Davis and Williams. Michael transferred from Scotland Yard to the New York City police. After qualifying to carry a firearm and learning the differences in law enforcement between England and America, it’s Michael’s first day on the job.

He first meets Terry Meres, his new partner. They spend the day responding to calls and sizing up each other.

The Mayor, Tom Goddard, has a flirtatious meeting with Police Commissioner Elizabeth Dean. If they are to consummate their relationship, they will retire to a warm island somewhere, with no extradition treaty with the United States. She mentions her grandson is in town, and, being English, will bring a touch of class to the city.

After the meeting, Tom Goddard has a discussion with his confidential assistant, Carla Gibbons. He drops hints he won’t run for re-election and his campaign team will become hers. She’s very good at her job.

Emily and her friend from the firm, Lily Heather Ross work on a case together until they’re interrupted. Once again, Emily has impressed the head of the firm, Charles ‘Chaz’ Bellingham, who invites Emily and her husband to dinner the following Saturday night. Emily accepts. He invites Lily and her significant other, Archie Barlow for the Saturday night after.

A blonde, pert police officer with a ponytail marched confidently through the precinct as people are interviewed, others booked, officers work, make plans.

Terry and Michael on the streets, deal with a mugging, a corner store that was robbed, talk with a woman who reported her son was missing and beginning the search.

Lily meets Archie Barlow for lunch and they discuss moving in together. After lunch, he returns to the police station and finds out his special lock-up has been robbed, as we see the blonde police officer toss her police hat and vest in the garbage. She is Parker, the best thief who ever lived.

Archie frantically calls Alice Hardy, the best hacker he has ever seen and demands she finds the thief.

Alice immediately reports the problem to Bess, the Queen of Thieves. She’s Elizabeth Dean. Perhaps it’s time to bring in her grandson as the new King of Thieves and she truly retires.

Michael and Terry have another crisis on their hands, which they quickly resolve. They file their reports and finish for the day.

Dinner finished, Michael and Emily are standing, arms wrapped around each other, "I think we're going to love it here." either in unison or one of them starts saying it and the other finishes it.

Michael’s cell phone rings.

Dream Movie Challenge 2022

Another year, another Dream Movie Challenge!  I went with option two, and got myself a brand new movie!

My cast is as follows:

Lamar Johnson, Ariel Mortman, Dove Cameron, Mark Ruffalo, Essie Davis, Chris Pratt, and Martin Sheen.

My wildcard is Helen Mirren.

My location is an Island.

And I had the option to switch out one cast member, so as part of an unholy pact with @copperfire, I chose to replace Chris Pratt with Charlie Cox.  (Sadly, he doesn’t actually suffer exquisitely in this movie.  He does look pretty though?)

The Island

Quick Synopsis:  Welcome to the Island, a secret paradise known only to the rich and powerful, where you can feel, and BE, years younger.

For a price.

Our Guests:

Dick Jameson:  (Martin Sheen and Mark Ruffalo):  A businessman past his prime, who longs for the virility and power of his younger days.  But not too much younger.  He wants to look like a powerful man, not a child.  Youth is a woman's game.

Sandra Jameson: (Helen Mirren and Dove Cameron): A long suffering wife of a man who values looks more than talent or ambition.  Sandra actually possesses all three.  She wouldn't have minded a transformation like her husband's, but what good is a trophy wife in her fifties?  He called the shots, and she's stuck with what she's got.

Dr. Elizabeth Barton (Essie Davis and Ariel Mortman): A biologist and physician, Dr. Barton is fascinated by the ramifications of the youthening effect, and has chosen to undergo it so as to observe the effects from the inside out.

Aaron Reynolds (Lamar Johnson): A rabble rouser who had been brought to the Island against his will, early on in its inception as one of many unwilling test subjects.  So far, he’s had trouble getting anyone to listen to him, but that’s about to change.

John the Hot Pilot (Charlie Cox): He’s the guy who flies everyone to the Island.  He occasionally takes off his shirt for our benefit.  He doesn’t have much role in the plot except to be blatantly objectified, but oh goodness, does he do it well.

--

Full Synopsis:

A pilot flies three rich guests to the Island, where they undergo "treatment" to great effect.

Newly transformed, Dick Jameson enjoys his newfound vigor and enjoys the decadent lifestyle of the Island.  Sandra, far less amused, finds herself gravitating toward Elizabeth, who is at least asking questions about all of this.  They eventually meet Aaron Reynolds, another "guest" who knows far more about the dark side of the Island.

They learn that it's a trap.  The youthening effects aren't permanent, but they are addictive.  Anyone who leaves the Island requires special medication to maintain their condition, medication that comes at a ridiculously high price.  Anyone unwilling or unable to pay is forbidden from leaving the Island, becoming instead prisoners and unwilling test subjects.

Finding this unacceptable, Sandra, Aaron and Elizabeth work together, recruiting like minded people and stage a revolt, freeing the Island, and giving everyone the choice of whether or not to stay (and remain young due to the Island's effect) or go home.

Dick, who had helped with the revolt, chooses to stay.  He hasn't been satisfied with his life for a long time and he feels like he can be useful here, preventing the kind of exploitative situation from happening again.

Elizabeth wants to see the Island's nature made public, so that its properties might be used to (ethically!) benefit all of humanity, while Aaron just wants to see a bunch of rich and powerful people humiliated for their extreme vanity.  Since their goals are mutually compatible, and they'd developed something of a romance, they leave together.  It's a happy surprise to Elizabeth when the youthening effect wears off and Aaron turns into Idris Elba.

For her part, newly single, Sandra decides that she wants to take some time and enjoy herself, at her proper age.  She's joined by John, the helicopter pilot who'd brought her there in the first place.  John has never been subject to the youthening effect.  He's just a young guy who thinks Helen Mirren is very sexy.  As do we all.

Bonus, Aaron Reynolds at the end of the movie:

You’re very welcome.

Straight ROBBED >:DDD

Happy Anniversary Ya Losers

You know I sat down for a really long time trying to decide how to make an intro for this thing that is both witty and appropriate but honestly…

.... How the fuck do you even introduce this?

Anyways, hello everyone, my name is DestinyGuardians, also known as ‘that one bitch over there’, and in honour of today being the one year anniversary of the Rip Hunter Stan Discord Chat, I have decided to give you all the facts, FACTS, that you need to know to become a member of this chat.

A wonderful and accepting community where everyone is treated with the love and appreciation they deserve... 

--

(Who the fuck do you think you are) 

---

... and where you are sure to find a bunch of people who will treat you with nothing less then utmost respect.

---

(WHO THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE-)

---

So at this point y’all might have heard about us, the “Rip deserves better stans then he has” squad, the creators of the Rip’s Bitch Ass Club of Losers, the scourge of the LOT fandom. As of this day we have compromised a staggering amount of a whole 30 people who 

really 

need better coping mechanisms. 

That’s a fact. 

I mean who can blame them though, trying to stan Rip Hunter requires every single person to immediately turn themselves into a dead ass tired warrior as they have to overcome every single goddamn hurdle thrown at them by both the fandom and the writers as they keep moving that goalpost farther and farther away. 

Have you seen the content we make, our fics and posts and some of the conversations we hold. Look at this and what do you see?

What you’ll become if you join that’s right. 

Guaren-fucking-teed. 

Another important fact that you should know is that at some point you’re going to have a stroke-

-and begin making as much sense as a Donald Trump Presidency. Have an ambulance on the line and keep on going. 

But you’re not here to listen to me complain, you’re here to talk about what to expect when you get into the chat, full of knowledge and those FACTS- 

Alright so when you get in after you’ve spent way too long choosing your nickname and your icon that you’re going to be changing whenever the fuck you want either way- 

(that’s a fact) 

-you’ll immediately be confronted with this:

That’s right, ladies and gents, we got more than three channels, and guess what, out of all twenty or so (i can’t count) of these channels, 

you’re only going to be using three. 

As you can see, it’s divided into two large sections: the Waverider and the Jumpship. 

And that’s it. 

That’s it there’s only two. 

We were going to have three but...

There’s only two...

...

Anyways let’s be honest, the Jumpship... no one really cares about. 

Maybe the non-lot spoilers cause like, that’s where we can talk about other shit and the lives we pretend not to have, but you’re still going to be muting it half the time cause you’ll always be behind on something popular. And besides that two of the chats we’re not even allowed to fucking use, and the other’s we just... don’t. 

(Like, seriously, when the FUCK did we ever use this channel: 

for literally anything-)

(That’s a fact!)

And this, 

this is just 

this is the like the creme de le creme 

of 

of just

jesus christ-

(That’s a fact) 

That’s just the Liar, and I swear to god the Fight Club alone can take the happiest person in existence and turn them into a monster...

... wiling to buy a plane ticket and fucking egging Phil Klemmer’s house...

... because they’re all so fucking ready to throw hands with him and the rest of the writers after season 3. 

(That’s a fact!) 

But the Waverider is what really makes The Rip Chat Group, The Rip Chat Group. 

This, my intrepid explorers, is where we do the majority of our talking and discussion, and where our best work (patent pending) is posted upon these channels that you see under them. 

Alright so we got the channels, we got so many channels, we got like... five. 

We got General, where we do most of our complaining talking. We got Pictures, where we show each other our cats and decide that they are more important than you. We got Fanfic-Channel, where wonderful stories are written while the rest of us complain about if that One Dude is going to give up their fucking publish button they press whenever the hell they want (you know who you are). We got Roleplay, where we pretend to be someone else to mask the fact that we have lives. Finally we got Spoiler-Chat, which might as well be renamed Fight-Club 2.0 at this fucking point because we’re STILL BITTER. 

And that’s it. 

Those are 

the only ones 

And that’s a fact. 

So basically when you join us it’s really very simple you know. You come in, you introduce yourself in the introduction chat if you want to and reads all the rules (located in the Jumpship, yes, it does have some worth, kids), and then you just come in and chat with the rest of us, pretty simple. 

Until you realize that we have FUCKING LORE NOW. 

*deep breath* 

So what happened was Kalinara/Kale (not the vegetable, tho a vegetable would be a better leader than her) decided that she was going to make a team in the chat and call it team fish in honour of The Arthur And Fish Picture (you know which one you know which one) for reasons that have yet to be fathomed. 

And since the nsfw section is actually called the Fish Lair you can imagine where on the alignment chart we all fell under. 

And everyone else like LETS NOT MISS OUT ON THIS HOT ACTION, so they all made teams of their own and that’s how such teams like Rainbow Dragon Squirrel (yeeeeaaaah, those fucking guys, whoo!) and Team Yeehaw were formed. 

Then one day our benevolent ruler T.D said NO MORE TEAMS because she said so. 

We don’t have any obedience so we called them cults instead, and if T.D said we couldn't do that we would call them bands, and all the drama only happened in Team/Cult/Band Fish. 

(That’s a fucking fact) 

Then one day I fucking overthrew Kale and she was like CURSE YOUR INEVITABLE BETRAYAL and then I lost the throne because I gave it to someone on their birthday and then THEY lost the throne back to Kale. 

She then decreed that if anyone could get Arthur Darvill to sign the Fish Pic (you know which one you KNOW WHICH ONE-) they could do whatever the fuck they wanted with the teams. 

And T.D using pure willpower, a year of dealing with the bullshit, and the ability to get over social anxiety, she goddamn got that fucking picture signed. 

And now all the teams are one massive team and someone made a fucking picture of the union to commemorate it, hold up- 

Yup there we go. 

...

I think that’s everything of importance. 

As you can see there’s... 

There’s a lot of shit. 

FACT. 

---

Though honestly... 

I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Love you guys, Happy Anniversary.
