The Stupendous Automatic Movie Logline Generator!

Coming up with new ideas is like trying to push an elephant into a doctor's waiting room - it's not going to be as effective if you try and force it. You've got to let the elephant appear there when the situation demands it. And that terrible analogy is exactly the kind of brilliant result you can expect from this, my latest invention - the Stupendous Automatic Movie Logline Generator! Sometimes you've just got to throw the alphabet at the wall and see what sticks. So grab a pen and paper, or prepare to memorise if you're that badass, and marvel as a new film idea forms in front of your very eyes!
