Oh dear God please don't let that movie get made. I just read the treatment. It's a bad after school movie. It's not worthy of the paper it's written on. I knew it was only a matter of time before there was a movie, I just hoped it would be good. Actually I thought we were going to see a reality TV show first. I could go on and on here, but I really don't think there is any danger of this movie getting any further than the lame web site it's on.

I can only surmise that this is some kind of joke on GC.com. The contact page says "Any input from the public that is received by Rapid LLC regarding screenplays, web sites or any other works, become the properity of Rapid LLC without any obligation." Sounds like someone from the "Read the Terms" thread. icon_biggrin.gif

I emailed the producer. It went something like this:

 

Mr. Bushey,

I read the treatment for 'Extreme Geocaching'. It's so bad I'm sure you have been completely unsuccessful find investors to funding the project. But just in case you get a few hundred bucks from someone you should spend it to hire a new author & screenwriter. And start with changing the name. As someone who is very much into films & an avid geocacher I can tell you this treatment is way, way off.

Just my 2 cents, but do yourself a favor and visit the forums on geocaching.com. I'm sure you will read the same opinion by most if not all the other players.

 

Regards,

JMB

You really need to check out ALL the links and all the pages this guy does. Even the sites are awful and he has the nerve to advertise that he builds websites. And yea, I have no idea why that picture of the lady is on the site. Look carefully at all his sites, he obviously writes all the copy himself and lets just say he doesn't have a complete grasp of the English language.

Are you kidding? It's so bad it's mildly enjoyable!

Friend says "I need a new truck!"

Personally I like it in screenplays and books when they give human beings and domesticated animals names. It makes it more 'real-like'!

 

It's right up there with:

 

** Then the captain said "Dive" and the crew-guy pushed a button, or whatever. And they dove! ***

Let me see if I can summarize the plot line.

 

Group decides to go geocaching for 5/5 cache.

Truck scrapes stump on back road.

Cachers get out and hike a lot.

It rains and they get a bit wet.

They camp out and keep hiking the next day.

They get to the cache area.

They have some trouble finding the cache.

They find the cache, log in, and trade.

They call home on the cell phone.

 

Is it just me, or do you all have a story or two that's a bit more "extreme" than this one?

 

Like my experience on a recent night cache:

 

quote:
Leprechaun waded across the swamp at midnight, with only a headlamp and a GPS to guide him, when he saw the reflection of many pairs of eyes staring at him from the edge of the woods. He thought, "this is what night patrols in Viet Nam must have felt like."
Am I already a better screenwriter?

 

x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x

Next time, instead of getting married, I think I'll just find a woman I don't like and buy her a house.

Unfortunately it does not appear that it is a joke. I looked up the owner of the web page and it is Jon Bushey. You will find out more about him and his production company here.

Oh just put out my eyes now!!!!

 

My 6 year old could write a better story than that. They have so many things wrong I'm surprised they didn't bury the cache in a national park.

Yup, afraid you're right. I Googled Jon Bushey and got lots of hits on product reviews (his new video camera). But if it looks like a joke, sounds like a joke, and movies like a joke......

IT IS!

 

The cache is far into a National Forest with difficult terrain.

Hmm... That's an interesting point. I think we all could write a better scrip. Sounds like a new thread. I'll start a treatment, we can all add to it with our own stories, made up stories, dialog, whatever. We can edit it later. I know film makers that would get involved. We could even pitch it to Miramax.

My favorite line in the story:

 

quote:
The Boy has saved up money for a necklace that he strongly believes will make him look good.

 

This apparently is to illustrate some tragic materialist flaw in the boy's character. Um, someone needs to tell the author that boys don't save up money for necklaces these days!

 

I couldn't read much past that point. It was too painful.

You wrongly assumed either that I'm female, or that I'm willing to have an operation. Are YOU willing? That would be fun, don't you agree?

I KNEW IT!!!

 

The minute I saw that picture I recognized the woman. She's got several pictures of herself (including the one on the movie webpage) on one of those cheap non-copywrited photo CD's that cheap guys like me buy at Staples in the discount bin because we're too cheap to invest in quality pics for webpages!

What do you think? Mitsuko II? I for one wouldn't want to cache in that outfit....although the belt's pretty cool.

Does your cd give her any type of ID? If you look at his picture properties link, he has her named Tracy. I wonder if that is what she is planning to wear to the Oscars ceremony?

My mistake, I assumed because of the avatar... never mind. icon_redface.gif

 

Since, it's turned out that there's somewhat of an incompatibility issue here, I'd have to suggest that Hydee and I do the moderating. That would be good. Hydee's cool -- and she is a woman, right?

I was wondering whatever happened to this tacky movie project, so I just checked it...  YAY!  Looks like it done died and rotted on the vine.  Man, if it wasn't for that stinky storyline...!  :D

That's not what I heard - last thing I knew was that they got Wil Wheaton to play one of the lead roles - they thought he was a perfect fit as a seasoned actor and registered geocacher....

I live in the general area of the "Rapid LLC company, and I saw a vehicle a couple weeks ago in traffic (a van or SUV with one of those magnetic panels on the door like real estate agents have sometimes). I thought about honking and asking them about the movie, but reasoned against it as I was hoping they had also forgotten, and didn't want to accidentally remind them! :o

Good thinking except you should have run him off the road just to be safe.
