This Is This

It would be cool if there was a film in which an ancient Native American Indian tribe wanted to dig a burial ground only to discover the site which had been sold to them was previously a quiet suburban neighbourhood.

Families burying their dead will discover in horror that the family tomb they were were digging had once been occupied by (gasp) a basement den, complete with pool table, tool rack and home entertainment system.

And local rumour had it when you listen very carefully on a quiet Sunday morning you can hear the sound of lawnmowers.

The film would reach a climax when the ground opened up on a stormy night and filled the air with the stench of pot-pourri. The film could be called “Keeping Up The Dead (With The Joneses)”

My other idea is a drama called Pastor of Muppets in which Kermit is torn between his calling to the clergy and the pig he loves. That’s just a working title, obviously.

I don’t often hand it to the French, language-wise, but they have one or two bon mots every now and then.
