Behind the Story (Swap Week)

Moonwalker Michael Jackson continues to play a controlling roll in global warming. Three months prior to the release of Thriller he joined a fringe group that protects the yeti. Yeti are commonly referred to in sightings as "Bigfoot" or "The Abominable Snowman". Michael took the lead in the groups effort to accelerate warming of the northern climates to accommodate requests of artic yeti for longer summers. Using royalty checks from the sales of Thriller he bought a controlling stake in the American auto industry and built the Neverland Ranch as an above ground cover for the operation. He successfully steered the American auto industry to produce and market some of the least fuel efficient vehicles in the world while pushing them to ignore the trend toward fuel efficiency. He worked feverishly to divert attention from his efforts by marrying Lisa Marie Presley, engineering false media scandals and adopting a chimpanzee named Bubbles. Few people know that Bubbles is actually the acting interpreter between Michael Jackson and international representatives of the yeti holding congress underneath Neverland.

The Black Lumberjack (Swap Week)

"COOOOOOOORN FLAKES!" yells Black Lumberjack as he descends from the summit of the most terrifying coaster he's ever been on. With his heart firmly lodged in his throat, his mind is elsewhere "Why the F*CK am I on a roller coaster? How did I get here? What about Tonya!!!" he wonders to himself.

As Black Lumberjack drops at an alarming rate he catches sight of Abraham Lincoln, he's laughing at me! He's half dragon? Before he can comprehend what's going on gravity sends him spiraling down.

boing...boing...boing...

"WOODY!!! yells Black Lumberjack as he bounces around the corner on his favorite childhood toy, a Kangaroo Ball. "It's Woody my childhood poodle. Wait a minute..."

"Damn how could I have accidentally fallen asleep during the big fight?" says BLJ as he wakes up groggy. Lumberjack's heart begins to race as he brings himself back into the moment, but still he can't help but ask himself "What was this weird Corn Flake, Lincoln, Poodle dream all about? NEVER MIND ALL THAT, I'VE GOT TO GET BACK TO SAVING TONYA!".

(Artist's note: I didn't want to disrupt the existing story for swap week so of course a dream sequence was a logical choice. I'd imagine this part of the story would end up on the Cutting Room Floor anyways.)

Cutting Room Floor (Switch Week)

Alternate ending to The Shawshank Redemption.

After making parole, Red travels on to keep the one promise he made to his friend Andy Dufresne. Red follows Andy’s directions to the North Buxton hay fields. Sure enough, Red soon spots the rock wall that looks like something right out of a Robert Frost poem and proceeds toward it. Red then comes right up to the large willow tree and spots the black volcanic glass rock he was instructed to look under. Red lifts the rock up and true to Andy’s word there is box underneath it. Red begins to break down as he realizes he will do anything for his good friend Andy Dufresne. Red then opens the box and BOOOM!! The box was an IED that took Red’s head clean off. It turns out that Andy Dufresne was indeed a murderer and just used Red to get him stuff. Andy was not only a bad husband, but also a bad friend.

This ending did not test as well with the one that made it to the final cut.

The Black Lumberjack

The award for Pimp of The Year goes to.....THE MAYOR! There is a roar of applause from the crowd. The Mayor get's up and prompts Tonya to get up with him. She is hesitant so he snatches her by the arm and wrestles her up from her seat, which in turn sent her seat sprawling into the next table. Seeing this scene causes the crowd of Pimps in the audience to break into an even louder applause. This is all that Black Lumberjack can stand. Black Lumberjack jumps up from his seat, throws off his disguise and calls out after The Mayor. "Mayor!" Black Lumberjack roars.

The crowd gets quiet and The Mayor turns around to see a seething, shirtless, Black Lumberjack. "You're a dead man!" Black Lumberjack growls. Tonya turns around and sees Black Lumberjack for the first time in months. She is so relieved to see him that she begins crying.
The Mayor's face turns pale. The last thing that he expected was for Black Lumberjack to find him, and on top of that, risk his life to confront him. Immediately The Mayor's men, and Pimps stand up to confront Black Lumberjack. Black Lumberjack turns to his brother, who surprisingly was also out of his costume, and in full Sumo attire.

"Where are you going?!" Black Sumo says to one of Mayor's goons as he grabs him and puts him into a headlock.

"Are you ready?" Black Lumberjack asks Black Sumo. "I've been ready!" Black Sumo answered back as he sent a pimp sprawling with one devastating punch. The brothers go back to back in defense of the increasing amount of attackers.
Meanwhile, Ronnie had tied all the exits closed with the rope. This way no one could escape. Then he entered the room. Floyd began tossing smoke bombs down into the crowd from up on the balcony. There were screams of panic. Black Lumberjack points to an exit and tells Tanisha to get all the women out of there. Tanisha and Stacey get up and begin escorting all the escorts out the room. Black Lumberjack then tries to find The Mayor and Tonya.

"He's getting away! Black Sumo yells. Look on the stage!"

Black Lumberjack turns to see the Mayor dragging Tonya behind him. He jumped on stage and ran off.

"I've got to go after him...Can you guys handle this?"

Floyd made it down to where the 3 men were standing. "We can handle this...You go get your girl". "Here, you'll be needing this". Floyd hands over the case carrying Black Lumberjack's axe.

"Thanks!" Black Lumberjack grabs the case and runs off, hitting each attacker with it as he chased after The Mayor.

The Lumberjack couldn't feel any pain from the hits that he was receiving. His rage was focused on one thing. And no one would be able to stop him until his enemy was defeated, and Tonya was safe with him...

The Black Lumberjack

The scene was set, with the help of Ronnie and Floyd, for Black Lumberjack's rescue. All he had to do was wait until the Pimp of the Year category to be called. Black Lumberjack was getting nervous. It seems like it was so long ago when he and Tonya were last together. He begins to reflect on his journey. The months he spent searching all over for Tonya.

Going to the Bar where he first met Tonya...

and then finding out that she formerly associated with this Pimp, The Mayor.

Black Lumberjack suddenly felt a rush of anger as he thought about the things The Mayor must have done to Tonya! The pain that he must have caused her....

Suddenly Black Lumberjack gets distracted from his thoughts by the sound of clapping. There is a spotlight shining around the room and it lands on a table.
It's The Mayor, and he's sitting with Tonya! It was the first time Black Lumberjack saw Tonya in 2 months! He couldn't get over how sad, and depressed she looked. All her happiness just drained out of her. He couldn't believe that this Mayor could have such an effect on her.
The award presenters walked on stage...This was it...This was the moment everyone was waiting for. He hoped that all the guys were ready, because this was shaping up to be the fight of their lives.

Cutting Room Floor

With all the hype surrounding X-Men Origins: Wolverine I thougth I'd share an excised scene from X-Men explaining Wolverine's general anger and impatience with Cyclops. Extensive last minute reshoots were made to replace this scene with the Alaska sequence in an effort to speed up the pacing of the film.

Cyclops calls in reservations at Fogo De Chão for 7:30 pm. He and Rogue arrive promptly and are seated by the hostess. Cyclops asks her if it would be possible to be served by Wolverine.

Wolverine is having a bad night. Two of the other Gauchos have called in sick and he has been assigned to serve nine tables. The lady at table five keeps asking him for more cheese bread and he keeps having to remind her that Gauchos only serve meat. When asked to take on another table he gives his manager some guff but reluctantly agrees because he likes the look of the girl at table ten.

When Wolverine stops by to serve the new table the jerk wearing sunglasses keeps interrupting him as he is carving meat for the girl. He is pretty sure she is flirting with him but this jerk won't shut up. After serving them three times he continues to stop by because it is evident that they are in no hurry to leave. Mr. Sunglasses keeps turning his disk over from red to green, back to red again, and each time Wolverine is about to walk away he turns it back to green again and smiles at him. This guy is really pissing him off. How could the girl like this clown? Who wears sunglasses inside anyway?

As the restaurant is closing Cyclops breaks the news to Wolverine that he is in great danger and would be wise to join them back at the X-Mansion. Wolverine only agrees because he kinda likes Rogue.

The Black Lumberjack

"So, which one of us is going to let Ronnie and Floyd in?" Black Sumo asked his brother, who had been sitting quietly at the table.

"I'll go get them." Black Lumberjack responds.

Black Lumberjack gets up from the table and goes outside into the lobby. He asks a patron for directions to the restroom and heads off towards the suggested direction.

When no one was looking he snuck off towards the stage area where Ronnie and Floyd were waiting to be let in. He finds the exit and lets them in.
"You guys call those silly mustaches a disguise?" Black Lumberjack asks the two brothers.
"They may be silly...but the ladies love them!" Floyd replies. "Now how do we get backstage? We need to get things ready." "Yeah, this is where we'll begin the smoke bomb ambush!" Ronnie chips in.
"It's over this way." Black Lumberjack leads the brothers to the backstage area.

Floyd is carrying Black Lumberjack's Axe and some rope and Ronnie, who is carrying the smoke bombs. The brothers find places to hide and get set-up.

"So how will we know when to begin?" Ronnie asks Black Lumberjack.

"The Mayor will be accepting the award for Pimp of The Year...I'm going to be the one that gives it to him!" "When you see me come backstage that will be your cue to start. Black Sumo will need all the help he can get. Just leave the Axe here behind these boxes."

Ronnie and Floyd nod in agreement and place Black Lumberjack's Axe behind the boxes. Black Lumberjack heads back to his seat. Soon he would give the Mayor an award...his fist!

Burt Reynolds playing Death Star Trooper Corporal Grenwick in a cut scene from the movie most of us fondly remember as Star Wars. What follows is an excerpt from the script.

Corporal Grenwick is able to maintain his composure during the interrogation of Princess Leia Organa but he is also very excited to return to the Death Star Office of Interrogation for a fix. Corporal Grenwick is a truth serum addict. In the comfort of his office he takes off his helmet and gloves and rolls up his sleeve while beckoning the IT-O interrogation droid to his side. He faces away from the window as his mind is altered by the truth serum. Everything inside the Death Star makes perfect sense to him. He is oblivious of the Death Star laser that destroys the planet Alderaan behind him.
