'BENEVOLENCE' the movie.


I was thinking of making a film called Benevolence

You know the kind of nonsense;  Credits roll interminably as is the way.

"You open... (I am making my pitch to a brain

dead Hollywood mogul). 

"So Lionel you see, you start with rocks hurtling from 

space..."

"then..." you don't say this to Lionel, '... that deeply resonant Hollywood voice that has been primed on soap powder commercialsbooms out...the stars provided the minerals from which we grew, yes someone did die to save us and it was the ‘stars; Then a time lapse, cut to primordial soup, bubbling away. The Hollywood voice again, (don’t you just want to stuff that face and shut that pseudo sincere voice up?)

Then jump cut to Dinosaurs, and maybe Imperial Rome, they lasted a long time too; Hollywood voice booms out; it is worth remembering that 99.9% of all species that have existed are now extinct. Thanks. Now in a series of jumps cuts we see various people in states of angst, happiness, joy, tears, rage; shaking their fist at the sky, and kneeling in pious devotion; then we cut to the sun and then that sick making Hollywood voice again thunders out

“At this moment in time, (background music...drum rolls...that kind of crap)...the sun is about 4.5 billion years old and it is estimated to still possess a 5-billion year supply of hydrogen. You guys, hydrogen is the fuel that drives nuclear fusion on the sun.  Therefore, it is predicted that our sun will die in approximately 5 billion years.
Once the sun has converted all its hydrogen into helium, the sun will change from its current form, a yellow dwarf, into a red giant. As a red giant, its diameter will extend well beyond the orbit of Venus, and even possibly beyond the orbit of Earth. When the sun enters the red giant phase, in which it will spend the final 10 percent of its lifetime, the Earth, (go on, in the words of another Hollywood icon, Clint Eastwood, '...make my day'; more drum rolls and repeat in that idiot Hollywood way)
"...When the sun enters the red giant phase, in which it will spend the final 10 percent of its lifetime, the Earth will be burned to a cinder.
Eh...whoever is responsible for this ....thanks a bunch.
