Creativity Wasted

Idea (NSFW): To make comic books out of photos of miniature setups/scenes created using Legos, such as a Predator-style military jungle shootout. Also: Lego comics which are customized for a specific person, a customized adult film where a woman burns a man's stamp collection, a self-building miniature modular skyscraper city prototype built with Lego robotics Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 43 Louie Michael (twitter.com/LouTheSurgeon, Podcast: https://anchor.fm/free-consultation) Shelly Smith (Podcast: http://readsandweeds.com) Nick "Martin" Perry Menkin (twitter.com/perry_menken) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: To create multiple versions of the same movie, each one for a different geographic region (using that region as a green screen backdrop and using supporting actors from that region). There would be many versions of the same movie in the US (like maybe in Seattle, New York, Chicago, Las Vegas, Nashville) and a large percentage of the scenes would look totally different. Also: selling half-completed movies (with celebrities scenes and big action scenes completed) to other movie studios in other countries to complete making that country's version of the movie using local actors; telling award-winning actors to "act worse" because if their acting is too good it might make the acting of the local supporting actors unwatchable Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 42 Eric Fadie (twitter.com/bigedetroitcast) Tim Reaburn (twitter.com/timrebrn) John Eric Ballinger (twitter.com/Glubchuck44) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: To try harder to recognize people with unique talents instead of ignoring or rejecting them because of their shortcomings (such as in school). Also: using people with photographic memories to comb through crowds like Bruce Willis in the movie Unbreakable; questioning why nobody has given me millions of dollars to create the ideas discussed in this podcast Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 42 Eric Fadie (twitter.com/bigedetroitcast) Tim Reaburn (twitter.com/timrebrn) John Eric Ballinger (twitter.com/Glubchuck44) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: Tubes that shoot garbage into space. The Venturi principle and the surface tension of water would theoretically cause the liquified garbage to climb up the tube (like water in a tree). Also: Earth would look like the villain Pinhead from the Hellraiser movies; maybe Jupiter and Saturn look brown because they're surrounded by trash that got sucked up into orbit by alien garbage tubes; bending the garbage tubes to launch the garbage into nearby cities with rival sports teams; accidentally sucking the Earth's atmosphere into space Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 42 Eric Fadie (twitter.com/bigedetroitcast) Tim Reaburn (twitter.com/timrebrn) John Eric Ballinger (twitter.com/Glubchuck44) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea (NSFW): A poorly performing gigolo that other men can hire for their girlfriends to make them appear better in bed by comparison. Also: questioning how you'd know the gigalo is actually bad in bed, not wanting another man who has issues with finishing prematurely to accidentally impregnate your girlfriend, hiring out a gigolo to do the post coital cuddling Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 42 Eric Fadie (twitter.com/bigedetroitcast) Tim Reaburn (twitter.com/timrebrn) John Eric Ballinger (twitter.com/Glubchuck44) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: A performance venue where you vote on Twitter (or some other social media platform) for who will perform that night. It would encourage friendly competition between performers, and would encourage famous people who are in town for other reasons to "drop in" spontaneously Also: purchasing the ticket as part of the vote and getting refunded if the performer you voted for loses; checking the candidates every day at lunch would keep people interested in the venue; it would be a step towards freeing humanity from the prison of constant time commitments Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 41 Avery Sommerfeld (facebook.com/crazeecomedy, YouTube: Funny News) DC Bradley (instagram.com/dcbradleyonig) Steven G Sullivan Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea: A deeply personal dark comedy movie (loosely based on a real person) about a young female comic's struggles with schizophrenia Also: living with a person with mental illness, family secrets of mental illness repeating themselves Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 41 Avery Sommerfeld (facebook.com/crazeecomedy, YouTube: Funny News) DC Bradley (instagram.com/dcbradleyonig) Steven G Sullivan Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea (NSFW): To pay a bunch of people to follow pedophiles and suspected pedophiles with drones to make sure they don't do horrible things Also: being followed by a drone might cause little boys to think you're cool, the creepiness of drones, R Kelly's alleged cult of young aspiring female singers Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 41 Avery Sommerfeld (facebook.com/crazeecomedy, YouTube: Funny News) DC Bradley (instagram.com/dcbradleyonig) Steven G Sullivan Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)

Idea (NSFW): Sci-fi clones which share both your memories and your current thoughts and feelings. Also: dividing work between clones; making sure at least one clone is doing something pleasurable at all times; accumulating all of the fear and sadness of all of your clones and developing PTSD; if you share thoughts with your clone, what happens if your clone goes to hell?

Idea: To build super-high-speed highways from the US to Russia and to South America, to compete with China's "new silk road" in Europe/Asia/Africa. Also: transporting oil using self-driving electric trucks instead of pipelines; since there's already a device called a "salmon cannon" to allow salmon to go upstream past dams, we could create a "bear cannon" to shoot bears across highways Originally from Creativity Wasted episode 40 Lauren Uchalik (twitter.com/loyooch) Misho Shakur (twitter.com/mishoshakur) Tony Vasek (facebook.com/tony.vacek.33) Tom Walma (twitter.com/thomaswalma) Recorded at Podcast Detroit (https://PodcastDetroit.com)
