[Q]: Build a movie plot around this: What is Mill's position at the studio? studio executive
****
[A]: Griffin Mill (Tim Robbins) is a studio executive dating story editor Bonnie Sherow (Cynthia Stevenson). He hears story pitches from screenwriters and decides which have the potential to be made into films, green-lighting only 12 out of 50,000 submissions every year. His job is endangered when up-and-coming story executive Larry Levy (Peter Gallagher) begins working at the studio. Mill has also been receiving death-threatening postcards, assumed to be from a screenwriter whose pitch he rejected.Mill surmises that the disgruntled writer is David Kahane (Vincent D'Onofrio). Mill lurks around Kahane's home and is told by Kahane's girlfriend, June Gudmundsdottir (Greta Scacchi), whom he watches while talking to her on the phone, that Kahane is at a showing of 'The Bicycle Thief'. Mill goes to the theater, pretending to recognize Kahane in the lobby after the film, and offers him a scriptwriting deal, hoping this will stop the threats. The two go to a nearby bar and have some drinks. Kahane gets intoxicated and rebuffs Mills offer; he calls Mill a liar, pointing out that he knows Mill didn't really go to the theater to see 'The Bicycle Thief' because Kahane saw Mill wander in late and only catch the last five minutes of it, and denies responsibility for sending Mill the postcards. Kahane continues goading Mill about his job security at the studio. In the bar's parking lot the two men fight. Mill loses his balance and falls, and feeling threatened, kills Kahane, then makes the death look like a robbery gone wrong.The next day, Mill receives another postcard. Mill attends Kahanes funeral and gets along with June; she knows none of the other mourners. Studio chief of security Walter Stuckel (Fred Ward) confronts Mill about the murder and says that the police know Mill was the last one to see Kahane alive. Detectives Avery (Whoopi Goldberg) and DeLongpre (Lyle Lovett) suspect Mill is guilty of murder. They question him and DeLongpre keeps an eye on him. Mill receives a postcard from the writer suggesting they meet at a...


[Q]: Build a movie plot around this: When was the House of Bricks built? 1776
****
[A]: The film opens with the narrator singing how we, the audience, remember the story of the Three Little Pigs by showing a book titled "The Three Little Pigs", and then tells the audience that they are still around, but "playing music with a modern sound" (which is upbeat jazz), while it cross-fades to a nightclub, ironically called the "House of Straw".Suddenly, the wolf appears, dancing to the music. He shakes the hands of the pigs and tells them that he's joining up with the band. He pulls out his trumpet from his coat, and begins playing out of tune, much to the dismay of the pigs. The pigs throw him out through the emergency exit. The wolf tries to barge back in, but to no avail. As a result, he vows to "huff and puff and blow the house down". He does this by blasting his trumpet, causing all the straw that surrounded the nightclub to be blown away.The pigs then travel to their next gig, the "Dew Drop Inn", also known as the house of sticks, and as usual, all goes well. The wolf, again, comes in, sits down on the stage, pulls out his trumpet and begins to play. Again, he plays out of tune, this time, to the dismay of not just the pigs, but also the patrons, who tell them to "throw the square out". In anger, and like in the original story, he blows the the place down with his trumpet, causing the sticks to collapse on the pigs and patrons. The three pigs then conjure up a plan to keep the wolf from ruining their future gigs, saying that their next place will be made of bricks.Cross-fading into the next scene, we see the "house of bricks" (built in 1776). A sign is shown on the entrance saying "No Wolves Allowed". The wolf lifts the sign up, only to be punched in the face by an unknown person's fist that was on the other side of the door. Desperate, the wolf grabs a large log, and attempts to use it as a battering ram, but unfortunately fails. He then tries to blow the place down with his trumpet numerous times until he ran out of breath (which the narrator points out that he stopped at 10:00 PM). Upon...


[Q]: Build a movie plot around this: Jim mocks Gloria's attempts to fund the band's trip to where? London.
****
[A]:
Answer: During the opening credits a brass band plays Death or Glory as the grimy coal miners return from the depths of the earth at the conclusion of their shift and head for their locker room to shower the coal dust from their bodies (but not from their lungs). As they leave the colliery, they wave at their neighbors who are keeping vigil outside the mines property protesting the anticipated closure of the pits.As the music ends Gloria Mullins (Tara Fitzgerald) enters a boarding house, The Lantern, with her luggage. The house-lady notices Gloria is carrying a horn case a flugelhorn which she calls a flugel. She had hoped to do some practicing. Not wanting her to disturb her other boarders, the house-lady suggests Gloria find the Grimley Colliery Bands rehearsal hall. She is certain the band would welcome a lovely young lady. Gloria has been sent to her old hometown by the British Coal Board to prepare a report on the Grimley mine. In the next scene, Vera (Sue Johnston) and Ida (Mary Healey) talk about their husbands, Jim (Philip Jackson) and Ernie (Peter Martin), playing in the band again. One laments if the pit closes the band will also fold. Jim and Ernie, a couple of tuba players, head for band rehearsal, but agree to tell Danny (Pete Postlethwaite), the groups director, that under the current economic conditions they cant afford the bands dues, so they will resign. Dannys son, Phil (Stephen Tompkinson), a trombonist in the band, is badly in debt and his wife, Sandra (Melanie Hill), hounds him to take the redundancy money that is being offered like others have done in other coal mining communities. Phil makes a little extra money as Mr. Chuckles, the clown, at birthday parties. His father picks Phil up on his bicycle on the way to band rehearsal.On the way, Danny sings his part to The Floral Dance and when they arrive, the band rehearses the piece. When the number concludes, Danny berates the groups playing as a load of bloody crap. The players contend their minds are distracted by the threat of the pit...
