These movies are kind of meant to be totally ridiculous, and honestly, in focusing on my higher priority projects, this is just a fun way to just say "fuck it all" and play just for fun. In a way, they're a chance to just completely relax and just make something super stupid that's more fun than just making a generic filler.

 

Obviously we're not making the Mona Lisa here, but I have to admit that I had a blast writing Jonny Jonny. 

To add to this before the oscars begin... it’s not like we’re making more than one a year. Lord knows making one bizarre 4K-word film isn’t gonna be too hard for everyone to read

“Please welcome to the stage to present our first award for Best Use of Action, Nicolas Cage and John Travolta, co-stars of the classic action film, Face/Off!”

 

Nic: Thank you! It is an honor to be presenting the first award of the evening!

John: Yes, and a very fitting award for us to present, isn’t it?

Nic: Yes, I agree. Although, I wouldn’t say any of the nominees for this award come close to matching the amazing action in Face/Off.

Nic and John: *raise eyebrows at each other with smirks on their faces. The audience laughs at their comedic expressions

Nic: (laughs) I kid, I kid. I’ll say this: they almost match the incredible action scenes of our film. Otherwise, why would they even be nominated?

John: I don’t know man. Anyways, here are the nominees for Best Use of Action:

 

Spoiler

Jake is getting worn down by his constant attempts to avoid the Dark Dragon's attacks, and finally a swing of the villain's thick, heavy tail connects. The American Dragon is swatted out of the air, smashing into the old, brittle wall of the abandoned sewer, the force cracking the concrete. He collapses down onto the floor in a daze and the Dark Dragon moves in for the kill.

 

American Dragon: Darkness Rising

 

Spoiler

During a prehistoric jungle avoiding stampeding triceratops, the duo chase after Black Beetle as the watch spasms sending them further in time, as they all narrowly missing the meteor impact. The three finds themselves in medieval ages during some type of brawl, as Jaime pulls Excalibur out of a stone, and throws it at Black Beetle slightly damaging her armor, who throws it back at Booster Gold, who catches it and throws it to a random person who catches it who is later to be revealed as King Arthur.

 

Blue and Gold

 

Spoiler

We cut back to the main facility, where Shepard’s group starts their attack, with the unit divided into thirds, each led by one of Shepard, Nihlus, and Banes, coming from three different angles. This catches the Batarians guarding the exterior in a cross-fire, and several are dropped quickly. The others regroup and pull back into more compact defensive positions, making the next stage of the advance harder. A couple marines are hit at this stage but everyone else continues to push on.

 

Mass Effect

 

Spoiler

He (Telemachus) charges at Antinous, swinging his sword at him at all angles. Antinous finds an opening and socks in the nose. Telemachus collapses to the ground. Antinous swings his ax down towards Telemachus who moves back, dodging each attempted swing. Telemachus jumps back on his feet engaging in a duel with Antinous. The two clash metal with each other fierce veracity.

 

The Odyssey: Homecoming

 

Spoiler

As Alex fights Xevarre, she holds up shockingly well, much to Kozar and Aera’s delights. Mevino, feeling more courageous and brave than ever, steps in and uses his flight to stay one step ahead of Xevarre, even as more guards come into the room. He tricks guards into beating each other up, also managing to swiftly avoid blasts of energy. Aera helps as well, rolling across the ground and knocking guards out like a pinball on the loose. Kozar also gets a few shots in.

 

Spark: Beyond the Sky

 

 

John: And the Oscar goes to…

 

Spoiler

The Odyssey: Homecoming

 

Nic: Third time’s a charm I suppose

 

Winner: Wow, three times in a row! Unbelievable. Thank you our wonderful Matt, everyone at Lager Pictures, and our incredible stunt team for all the hard work you put in. Most importantly, thank you for letting us be apart of this three-film ‘Odyssey’. It was an absolute privilege to be apart of this series.

“Please welcome to the stage our presenters for Best Visual Effect, Aera, from Spark: Beyond the Sky, and T-Bot, from The Scavenger Wars!”

 

*Aera and T-Bot come on stage with a bodyguard sporting a tattoos on his arm and a taser by his side. The two of them look at him nervously.

T-Bot: Um, I’ll let you explain this one.

Aera: So… after we, um, burned down the theatre that the Oscar picks were announced at and staging a robot riot, we were sentenced to 1,000 hours of community service for our actions. We are both greatly sorry for our actions and hope the Academy and all you lovely people watching us at home can forgive us.

*The audience applauds.

T-Bot: (whispers) Aera, this dude is freaking me out.

Aera: Why the hell are you whispering to me? Everyone can hear you.

*T-Bot and the guard slowly lock eyesight with each other. The guard cricks his neck back and forth.

T-Bot: Okay, I’m freaked out let’s just present this award and get the hell out of here.

Aera: The award we are presenting is one that celebrates the achievements of those who are able to create the seemingly impossible. New characters, new creatures, new environments, and new worlds. Hell, they even created us! That’s gotta count for something, right?

T-Bot: Thank you to all the… uh, nice humans that spent nearly 24/7 trying to create us.

Aera: Here are the nominees for Achievement in Visual Effects

T-Bot: ...and the Oscar goes to…

Aera: WHAT?!?!?!

T-Bot: (laughs hysterically) Hahaha fooled ya, idiot!

*The two get into a full out brawl. Aera rolls on top of T-Bot, crushing him. The security guard watches them fight, not doing anything. He picks the envelope up and reads it.

Spoiler

Security Guard: It’s actually Spark: Beyond the Sky

 

Winner: Well, this is certainly a bounce back from the second film wasn’t it. I guess one award is better than none!

Commercial Break #1:

 

Blankments Productions logo.

 

Clark Gregg sits at a desk, talking directly into the camera.

 

Clark Gregg: I'm sorry guys... but apparently people don't want to see anymore of you.

 

The camera reveals Chuck Norris and Liam Neeson sitting uncomfortably on a love seat too small for the two of them.

 

Chuck Norris: What exactly do you mean? We haven't finished shooting this picture yet!

Clark Gregg: About that...

 

A quick montage of action scenes from the previous movie appear, followed with the logo Chuck Norris and Liam Neeson vs. the Loch Ness Monster.

 

Clark Gregg: I actually had an evil plot to force you two to film action movies together because no one would ever take you serious in a drama.

Liam Neeson: Excuse me? I'm an Academy Award nominee, I've worked with Martin Scorsese, and...

Clark Gregg: Cool story, but I'm not the one to complain to. I'd try to finish shooting the drama... while also continuing to shoot the action movies on the side.. but we got one problem.

Chuck Norris: And what in the Sam Hill is that?

Clark Gregg: The movie bombed.

 

Cut to Blankments Productions headquarters. Edward Nadny (Jamie Foxx) throws a phone against the wall while Intern Claire (Lana Condor) sits in silence.

 

Edward Nadny: Chuck and Liam are total box office poison. It didn't even make 100M domestic!

Intern Claire: Cancel the movie, just please stop breaking phones!

 

Back with the trio:

 

Clark Gregg: So we gotta close up shop here. Sorry guys.

Chuck Norris: You can't just fire us.

 

Samuel L. Jackson walks in.

 

Samuel L. Jackson: He sure as *CENSORED FOR TELEVISION BLEEP* can. There's nothing we can do.

 

Chuck and Liam look at each other and smile.

 

Liam Neeson: You thinking what I'm thinking?

Chuck Norris: I'm gonna roundhouse kick this movie back into production!

 

THIS SEPTEMBER

 

Chuck Norris and Liam Neeson stand on top of the Hollywood sign.

 

$H*!

 

- A giant CGI Sir Thymes Time (Elijah Wood mo-cap) dances towards Chuck Norris and Liam Neeson, threatening to hug them to death. 

- Intern Claire and Xevarre (Olivia Cooke mo-cap) ballroom dance next to Samuel L. Jackson and Salma Hayek.

- Michelle Haywood (Willem Dafoe in a wig with heavy eyeshadow but chapped lips) aims a sniper at Clark Gregg.

 

GETS

 

- Mann's Chinese Theater explodes.

- Alex Hirsch (Jake Johnson), Phil Lord (Kyle Mooney), and Christopher Miller (Beck Bennett) torch Edward Nadny's office.
- A giant skybeam comes out of a studio backlot.

 

REEL

 

Chuck Norris and Liam Neeson remain tied up in a chair as Edward Nadny holds guns to both of their heads at the same time.

 

Liam Neeson: Why do you hate us so goddamn much?

Edward Nadny: We have a long history, Norris and Neeson. And let's just say I'll have the last laugh.

 

He laughs maniacally as the title appears:

 

CHUCK NORRIS AND LIAM NEESON VS. THE CURRENT HOLLYWOOD LANDSCAPE

 

Intern Claire pulls up a file and looks at it, concerned.

 

Intern Claire: What does "Operation: Reboot C.A.Y.O.M." mean?

*“Coda” from The Odyssey: Homecoming is played

 

“Please welcome to the stage your presenter for Best Supporting Actor, last year’s Academy Award winner for Best Supporting Actress from Notes From the OtherSpace, Joan Cusack!”

 

Cusack: Well after that escapade, I’m just gonna keep this little escapade short and sweet. For this award, we recognize the achievements of five extremely talented actors for their ability to disappear into their roles and give us five of the most memorable performances this year:

 

The son of a king trying to salvage his kingdom from slipping further into darkness, the ruthless and slimy leader of a pack of suitors trying to win the hand of that son’s mother, an infamous film director with sinister intentions, a high ranking general of the British army in 1776 who is hellbent on returning home to his sick wife, and the dad of a college male athlete on a woman’s basketball, who goes many lengths to ensure his son’s success.

 

Cusack: Yeah, that last one was really weird for me to say. Anywho, here are the nominees for Best Supporting Actor:

 

Spoiler

Gael Garcia Bernal as Mauricio Lopez in Resonance

 

Spoiler

Bradley Cooper as Thomas Russell from By The Balls

 

Spoiler

Luke Evans as Eurymachus from The Odyssey: Homecoming

 

Spoiler

Damian Lewis as Sir Charles Cornwallis from Fortnight

 

Spoiler

Dacre Montgomery as Telemachus from The Odyssey: Homecoming

 

Cusack: And the Oscar goes to…

 

Spoiler

Bradley Cooper for By The Balls

 

Cooper: “Oh wow. You know, when I first looked at the script for By the Balls, I thought it was a really smart movie. Very timely and really funny. When I asked who they wanted me to play, at first, I was a little insulted but then I discovered just what an honor it was to play such a piece of shit. As much as we hate to admit, all of us men are Thomas sometimes. From talking over a woman to, as our president puts it, grabbing them by the BLEEP,  I’d say it’s definitely not hard to be a white man in America these days. My daughter should not have to grow up in a world where her government refuses to listen to her, where a Supreme Court judge can be credibly accused of sexual misconduct prior to his confirmation and nothing happens. We like to all say that art can change the world. I’m not sure if By the Balls did that, but this speaks for itself. Thank you Tony for directing a damn incredible movie, and also Jessica and Dan for their marvelous work on the script. Thanks to the studios for putting this risky project together and letting me produce it. I know I’m running out of time but I’d like to thank my partner, who I love very much and has faced many of the problems Thomas perpetuates in her professional career. This one’s for you and Lea. Thank you again.”
