A sequel to Big where the now properly-aged Tom Hanks is recognized as the man that his mother mistakenly believed to be the kidnapper of his younger self and is incarcerated. I wanted to add that maybe Zolar is his cellmate or that, from prison, he rekindles his relationship with a 90-year-old Elizabeth Perkins, but I think it should maybe just be about his trial and imprisonment.

There are a lot of high concept '80s family films that are great fodder for terrible, tonally-inconsistent sequels. A sequel to Flight Of The Navigator that's all about the main kid's unhealthy obsession with the younger version of Sarah Jessica Parker. "The future teenage version of you was totally into the ten-year-old version of me! We were meant to be together!"

But a sketch where Nickelodeon or Disney is having their annual Kids Awards! Program hosted by the girl from Hey Jessie! or one of the dudes from Lab Rats.
And after a big award, they bring out the Boy Meets World guy who solemnly says to the camera, "tonight, we fondly remember those we lost this year."
And a black-and-white montage plays for five minutes of nothing but children. "Brayden Atikinson. 2008-2014" "Farrell Morgan Grace, 2011-2015" "Kendal Qwan-Lucas, 2013-2014"
And after awhile, there's Regis or David Cross or somebody sitting in the crowd, who says to his date, "How can there be so many kids on this thing?" and the date simply says "heroin will kill us all."

Or maybe make the same sketch except with dogs. A hound dog, "Flash Corduroy, 2001-2015", a really regal looking terrier, "Spangles McDooDoo, 1997-2014" <-- crowd (of dogs) go nuts for this one. A Great Dane, "Rockingham, 2007-2014" <— everyone starts howling even though, you know, that's about what you get with a Great Dane.

In Let's Talk About Carl Wilson's Let's Talk About Love, the author embeds himself in ilxor.com's I Love Music message board for a year in a quest to understand a subculture where people have earnest discussions about the gimmicky album books they sell in record stores. conclusion: people who like 33⅓ books are people too, and if you can set aside your preconceptions about 'taste' and 'quality', you'll find that there's something oddly endearing about their loyalty to such a debased art form.

related idea: a 33⅓-style series in which each author focuses on a different 5-second segment of Boz Scaggs's 'Lido Shuffle'. the series will run for 44 volumes, and when placed in order, the spines will form an image of 'Lido Shuffle's waveform.
