ATTACK OF THE CLONES (2002) - dir. George Lucas
Once a little boy went to school. One morning The teacher said: “Today we are going to make a picture.” “Good!” thought the little boy. He liked to make all kinds; Lions and tigers, Chickens and cows, Trains and boats; And he took out his box of crayons And began to draw.
But the teacher said, “Wait!” “It is not time to begin!” And she waited until everyone looked ready. “Now,” said the teacher, “We are going to make flowers.” “Good!” thought the little boy, He liked to make beautiful ones With his pink and orange and blue crayons. But the teacher said “Wait!” “And I will show you how.” And it was red, with a green stem. “There,” said the teacher, “Now you may begin.”
The little boy looked at his teacher’s flower Then he looked at his own flower. He liked his flower better than the teacher’s But he did not say this. He just turned his paper over, And made a flower like the teacher’s. It was red, with a green stem.
On another day The teacher said: “Today we are going to make something with clay.” “Good!” thought the little boy; He liked clay. He could make all kinds of things with clay: Snakes and snowmen, Elephants and mice, Cars and trucks And he began to pull and pinch His ball of clay.
But the teacher said, “Wait!” “It is not time to begin!” And she waited until everyone looked ready. “Now,” said the teacher, “We are going to make a dish.” “Good!” thought the little boy, He liked to make dishes. And he began to make some That were all shapes and sizes.
But the teacher said “Wait!” “And I will show you how.” And she showed everyone how to make One deep dish. “There,” said the teacher, “Now you may begin.”
The little boy looked at the teacher’s dish; Then he looked at his own. He liked his better than the teacher’s But he did not say this. He just rolled his clay into a big ball again And made a dish like the teacher’s. It was a deep dish.
And pretty soon The little boy learned to wait, And to watch And to make things just like the teacher. And pretty soon He didn’t make things of his own anymore.
Then it happened That the little boy and his family Moved to another house, In another city, And the little boy Had to go to another school.
The teacher said: “Today we are going to make a picture.” “Good!” thought the little boy. And he waited for the teacher To tell what to do. But the teacher didn’t say anything. She just walked around the room.
When she came to the little boy She asked, “Don’t you want to make a picture?” “Yes,” said the little boy. “What are we going to make?” “I don’t know until you make it,” said the teacher. “How shall I make it?” asked the little boy. “Why, anyway you like,” said the teacher. “And any color?” asked the little boy. “Any color,” said the teacher. And he began to make a red flower with a green stem.

I need snoots!
ok so i'm not actually making a movie. what i am doing is analysing minecraft and thinking about why i didn't like The minecraft movie, and what i was actually wanting out of a minecraft movie. and then like. writing an overview or something. a lot of my thoughts heavily reference the End Poem, and some things i've seen echoed around the community in the past decade or so in terms of minecraft lore.
if you have any thoughts please tell me. please please please. i wrote i think a whole essay on the worldbuilding and storytelling of minecraft in college i am rather passionate about it.
things i am thinking about so far:
-having the movie progression loosely follow the progression of updates 1.0-current. not Every feature has to be included, but just like, no seeing like, cornflowers in the beginning of the movie. i wanna start in that barren 1.0 wasteland of an overworld baybe.
-according to the update timeline as of 2025, we'd meet alex about midway through the movie. unsure of my thoughts on this, but it follows previous logic.
-we only see ONE pink sheep the whole movie. are those fuckers rare or what?
-no new characters that aren't in the game.
-the entire soundtrack is by C418 and Lena Raine. Definitely including some in game songs, but some new ones thrown in as well.
-the player is the freak, not the villagers. i personally am not a fan of the "there was a nuclear disaster that fucked up minecraft, and made the mobs and the villagers Like That." i've seen throughout minecraft fan theories over the years. I think that's too specific, too un-minecraft-y, and also. not a fan of the insinuations with the villagers. minecraft has no lore. at best it has soft worldbuilding- think studio ghibli. we don't really know why things are precisely the way they are, we just know they are, and we know a few rules. we know minecraft started out barren, and as the updates came and went (to be interpreted as either time passing, the player exploring further, or both), more and more life was seen in the world, more things were discovered, more things were fought, made, destroyed, learned. according to the End Poem, minecraft is a dream that the player enters. one could interpret that as us being an outsider- it would explain why no one else looks like us, plays like us. we are alone. minecraft is a lonely place. you see it when you compare yourself to the villagers, you hear it in the soundtrack. you are alone.
-get julian gough back to write a second short poem for the end of the movie, but this time pay him one billion dollars. by the end of the game, we'd achieved a high enough level to read the universe's thoughts, i think this time after the movie, and also after furthering ourselves in the long dream of life, we should have levelled up enough to hear the universe's thoughts ("Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe, yes." | this having audio also makes it more fitting for a movie).
I don't. actually know what the plot would be. obviously it needs to be minecraft-y, but it can't simply be the base game progression, can it? would that be too simple? i wouldn't want to rely entirely on nostalgia, it has to be an enjoyable movie regardless of it's association to minecraft.

I've been dabbling in character.ai and wonder if i should share the absolutely unhinged interactions I've been having. I know char.ai is known for this, but I really think I've done something here. I think I've found my calling.
