The Sketch Movie

So we've been working on our sketch show for a while now and like all great comedy shows: SNL, Kids in the Hall, Mr. Show, we need to come out with a movie. So here it is, Chess, the movie. It's a movie about a bunch of young guys that spend the whole summer playing chess on one of those giant chess boards you see in the park. They trash talk each other, argue, help each other work through their problems and fight with the mimes and the soccer players from the field beside them who always come and beat them up. Some of the chess characters are, Randy the nurortic and paranoid human torch who lights himself on fire whenever he loses, which is all the time. Everyone thinks he should attend the swimming club instead. Sickle, an anarchist in a punk rock band who hates rules that dictate anything, ie. football, because it is so organtised, fast food line ups, smoking laws and gravity - he really hates the law of gravity. That's why he is always jumping. Unfortunately, Sickle is in love with the queen black chess piece even though it only looks like a common piece, not a person. Then there is the coach, an exhigh school teacher who ran the chess club and comes down to the park to yell at the chess players. He was fired for once slapping a kid who lost a chess game in the high school finals. There is a French guy too who does all his moves in French and no one understands him. He's Cnaadian content. Other characters are the mimes in the park, several dogs that crap on the chess board and Steve and Andy's mom. The soccer players come and kick the pieces over or one day switch them all with statues of giant peni or penises (sp?), or actual small, two inch sized chess pieces. That can be the straw that brakes the camal's back. (Especially for Sickle whose precious queen has been stolen.) Yes there is a camal in the movie who needs to be worked in some how. Then the chess guys get back at the soccer players. Maybe with the help of the camals. Or perhaps they make a truce with the mimes and band together and take out the soccer players. That gives it a gritty gang flavour. I really like this idea. I mean, come on, how hard would it be for us to write this screen play. We could do it in one evening. Then it would be easy to film as an indie movie because what do we need? a giant chess board with pieces in the park, and a bunch of actors. That's it. If you guys don't like this idea then I might turn it into a funny book. Get in on the ground floor guys. And we can drop Frenchie if you want. Or the mimes.
