So...this is still just a rudimentary idea thus far and is not fully developed...let me know if you think I should give it a little more juice and actually produce it...
IDEA FOR A SHORT FILM: "Drowning Hitler"
Two people debate whether or not the world would be a better place if Hitler hadn't started WWII and exterminated millions of Jews...one is the uncorrupted Paladin-type of person while the other takes a more neutral position saying we can't be sure of what will happen if we change things...butterflies and earthquakes and such...
Enter Corn..."HAI GUYZ! I BUILT A TIME MUSHEEN! LET'S FUCK WITH STUFF!"...and so they go to solve the debate...
They appear in 1912, Germany...Li'l Hitler is taking a relaxing stroll by a riverbank...they argue briefly over who should do it...
RPS ensues...
Righteousy McPaladin is the lucky winner...he kicks Hitler into the river and proceeds to drown the bastard...sobbing while he does it (after all, it's a little kid)...they go back to the future...
*maniacal cackling*
Drastic changes have occured (as punctuated by the line "What the fuck happened?")
A narrator comes on and explains the impact of Hitler's demise including, but not limited to, the following...POLAND, THE SLEEPING GIANT, ROSE UP IN 1934 AND ENSLAVED THE REST OF HUMANITY...THEY CAPTURED EINSTEIN AND DEVELOPED THE H-BOMB, THUS SEALING THEIR POSITION AS THE SUPREME RACE...THEY GENETICALLY ENGINEER THEMSELVES TO HAVE 18'S IN ALL STATS AND DEVELOP TRIANGULAR UNIFORMS WITH SILLY HATS BECAUSE L. RON HUBBARD SAYS THEY'RE MORE EFFICIENT...
"Told you so."
Corn - "Well I guess we should go back and fix it."
They go back to mere seconds before they arrive...
"So how do we stop ourselves?"
"Simple. We just tell-"
Corn cocks a pistol as their past selves appear and fires 3 shots as the other 2 scream "no"...
As they watch themselves bleed out the face...
"Huh...I thought we might start fading out of existence or something."
Corn - "Don't be ridiculous...that only happens in the movies."
*pause and awkward glance towards camera*
"So what should we do now?"
"I dunno."
*pause*
"HEY! I KNOW! LET'S GO BECOME OUR OWN GRANDFATHERS!"
All in unison - "YEA!"
BLACKOUT
