Oh, Hollywood. Is it the endlessly pleasant weather? Is that what seems to sap all of the ideas from your brains? You would think that with all of your legendary (and conversation-generating) traffic, that you would have some time to sit by yourselves and think things through a little more. In any case, Disney is making a movie called Opposite Day, and it is exactly what it sounds like. From the Hollywood Reporter (via FilmDrunk):
Disney will celebrate “Opposite Day.” The studio is developing a high-concept comedy with that title and has hired “Nancy Drew” scribe Tiffany Paulsen to write it. “Opposite,” based on an original idea by studio production president Oren Aviv, centers on a corporate hatchet man who wakes up one morning and finds he must follow the exact opposite of his normal routine.
High-concept, or THE HIGHEST-CONCEPT?! A corporate hatchet man has to follow the exact opposite of his normal routine? I think you know what that means…PANCAKES FOR DINNER! Hilarious.
So, Opposite Day is going forward. What, then, with the precedent set, should Disney focus its (clearly) abundant creative energies on after this?

Whoops, I just accidentally created an INCREDIBLY SUCCESSFUL franchise. Low to high millions.

From the director of “First Is The Worst, Second Is The Best, Third Is The One With The Treasure Chest”…
I’ve loved the Carpet Is series since I was a child, but honestly, Carpet Is Lasers, Tile Is Sharks, Wood Floor Is Quicksand, Grass Is Lava was too heavy on the teen drama and too light on the flooring based humor.
That film was essential for the purposes of character development though because they are breaking the last book into two movies.
I agree. The franchise really jumped the Tile Shark with that flick.

Unfortunately, sales for the sequel to Opposite Day, Wacky Tacky Day, plummeted after the opening weekend. This has largely been blamed on the replacement of Eddie Murphy with Cuba Gooding, Jr.

“SIMON DIDN’T SAY”
I was about to write up a list of suggestions, starting with ‘Wacky Wednesday’, when I had this horrible sinking feeling in my all of me that somehow it would actually get made, and it would be a Dreamworks picture with Steve Carrell in it as all of the (CGI) babies in the stroller, released Christmas 2012.
I thus withdraw my comments from this thread, in the vain hope that by not writing them down, they might never come to be.
You all owe me one.

I say Oren Aviv is due for a raise. Nice one, Oren!
The sad thing is every sarcastic movie idea I have is already a movie…..”He can’t tell a lie for one whole day!” being a good example, and also “He sees people for their inner beauty and falls for a fat chick.”
In a world… where sometimes people refer to fictional covered places just to try to make other people feel foolish for a couple of seconds, one man will refuse to ask the question on everyone else’s lips… “Under Where?”

“a corporate hatchet man…wakes up one morning and finds he must follow the exact opposite of his normal routine” So entire departments won’t be absorbed and senior employees won’t have to be let go without their full pensions? This movie is going to be fucking hilarious!
