Opening scene: On a plane. A child is counting down from 10. It's late. Many people are asleep. The usual business and clatter. Comforting. Cramped, but warm and soon we'll be there.
But things start to go weird at "5..." As the child reaches "Zero" with a smile, the entire plane goes very, very wrong. Maybe seen from outside, a blue light flashes in the windows and it lands itself...empty. |

The origin of the word "amok" makes me think of that flick about interviews with a patient in an asbestos-abated mental hospital. Session 9, or something? |

So THE GOOD THINGS should be like a $15,000 movie. Totally broke. Everything cheap, and that's what the actual flick is about.
Right, so then it ends with TC able to see again, horrified by what he DOES see, by what he has been unable to see this entire time. The inverse chemistry of their relationship completely breaking through the film he thought he'd made, the flop he thought he'd planned, the success he's stuck with, and he opens his eyes only after realizing he DOES love Cindy and Lance is not the procreative force...
(flipping his original intent of getting them back together, which he abandons only to achieve it)
and sees them kiss.
HORROR, HORROR, HORROR!
Echoing and yet flipping what happens in SFN.
But the best part is "Play us out, Bomb the Music Industry" with "Even Winning Feels Bad."
Success can be so horrible. |

Lance to Cindy at close of a scene, or someone to Cindy at the end of a Lance scene, which is probably better -- "your roots are showing."
ah-ha! because Lance is her roots. |

Another immortal even worse than Savage. In fact Savage thought he'd defeated him centuries back, imprisoning him in stone or something. No super powers, just an absolute murderous, relentless bastard. |

- Where did Blackbird come from? He’s perched on the rear wheel of the car, birdlike, just waiting to pounce on them. His head is cocked at an angle, the way birds do when they want to observe you. Scanner staggers back. the Yellow Book forgotten in his hand. Inches from him, I mean inches, looming over him, is Blackbird, perched on the car, head cocked, unreadably alien, just like a bird.
- Bang! Blackbird already has Scanner by the throat, and we’re going to show readers something awful: He’s starting to tear Scanner’s arm off. I don’t mean we see any gore. I just mean the contour line of Scanner’s shoulder has a little snip in it, it has JUST started to tear. And this is very plain to us, all our attention is directed on it. - Scanner is hurled backwards by the sonic boom speed of Blackbird snatching the book. Just a blur, but we can make out his form, and there’s these visual distortion waves, it’s like Bullet Time for Blackbird. BOOM BOOM BOOM |
