In my dream I’m watching a movie. Not like on a screen, but sort of like how you fullscreen a YouTube video except it fills up my range of vision instead of a monitor. So it’s sort of like I’m there, but it’s definitely through a camera.
It’s about something like James Bond’s kids. Think teenagers. Actual teenagers, not 28-year-old Tom Welling as a high school Clark Kent. Brother and sister. They decide to take things in their own hands while their dad is on vacation. So they’re trying to foil the bad guy’s plans–your typical filthy rich enemy with a giant mansion. He has a butler. Don’t think too old. Not (looks, personality, he’s funny, he’s a hard-worker, my partner, ) Mr. Miyagi (!), but more like Lau Chan in Virtua Fighter 2 rather than the walking corpse version in VF5.
But the butler secretly helps the kids throughout the movie. And they manage to get to the mansion. And somehow they break the bad guy’s finger before getting captured. So he has them tied up in his den I guess. One of those large rooms with basically only a desk, statues, and other ornaments that you only see in movies. The butler is there. The kids are trying not to give away that the butler’s been helping them. Then the bad guy calls the butler over.
The audience doesn’t know if the bad guy knows that the butler’s been helping them or not. But as he walks over, you get the sense that the bad guy knows and is going to make the butler kill the kids. Then you think ahead and realize it’s a movie skewed towards young teenagers and kids, so the butler’s gonna find a way out of this predicament and get the kids out of there. And he walks up next to the bad guy, who’s sitting behind the desk. The bad guy pulls out a gun with a silencer. The camera cuts to the bad guy’s face and he starts to mouth words:
“What would you have me do?”
And he shoots the butler in the head.
Then I wake up. What the hell right?
