The title. If you had full Hollywood sex pest money and power what movies would you have made?
I've had a concept for a movie just called Action. It would open on a street corner, a car would come Tokyo drifting around the corner with another car chasing it. The entire movie is only chases, fights, explosions and stunts. There are two bad guys and two good guys and they refer to each other literally as the bad guys and the good guys. The bad guys got away with the briefcase that contains the codes, it is never specified what the codes are for. All dialogue is immediate exposition "they're getting away!" or snappy one liners. It would be all practical effects and cost more to make than most wars
Chris-chan biopic. There's just so much material to work with there, her life's been documented way too hard and always manages to reflect what's going on in the world really well.
It'd probably be impossible to make though, I can't think of any director who would do her story justice.
Her privacy has been violated and she's been exploited enough. I would like something with a sympathetic angle, but that would create an outrage war over it and I really just want Chris Chan to be able to just chill. Would need someone really good and full consent from Chris Chan.
That's another part of it, there's no way Chris Chan would ever consent to what the director would need to do. I also don't think any movie studios would ever finance it. I definitely think there's been roles in movies where she's been a bit of an inspiration already, but I don't think a movie just based on her without being about her would ever work either.
90% of people who bullies her in 2007 are definitely Nazis now
The reason Chris Chans so interesting is that they evolve with the internet. The first bullying is a bit more innocent because a lot of it is people who had never seen someone get doxxed before and not realize how horrifying it could be. But then like as people see what horrifying shit people do online, the people trolling her either get more extreme with it or immediately recognize it as something shitty to do. Like you go from someone pretending to be like Chris Chan for laughs to someone straight up fleecing him for 10,000 dollars.
Then you got characters like null, these objectively pathetic people who start a forum basically to convince people that a bunch of leftwing content creators are just like Chris Chan so they can bully them, but then also have this weird love for Chris Chan where they've set up contingency plans to financially support her when disaster happens. Like its just such an interesting, bizarre relationship.
Personal Involvement Disclaimer (in that I was friends with the guy who made em) but DStecks had a Sonichu review series that started out with the same snark and condescension as any other reviewer (and done hilariously in my opinion at the time), but over the course of the series (it took several years to get through) his opinion on CWC and his own involvement in her life and the drama around her matured and the ending (that could not have possibly been planned in advance) had an absolutely incredible payoff. I dunno if I'd recommend watching it since it's probably over a dozen hours in total, but that last episode just made me soyface uncontrollably
There's a lot of youtubers that were involved with Chris Chan, especially early ones. Like a lot of early Machinima and Newgrounds people were involved in it since they had talent that they were able to put to use bullying Chris in different ways and a lot of them were pretty young and probably had a harder time seeing the problems with what they were doing (I know for a fact that the prank caller who played Casey's dad was between 14 and 16 at the time).
