1. Maybe a good idea from the "common because it's working" variant could improve "Ghost Rider". Sending a demon/android to kill the messiah's mother, like in Terminator, could make the movie much better than the final cut. I have reasons to believe the good people who created "Terminator" did a research about their great idea. One of their sources was probably the Shahnameh, especially the story about Fereydun, who become the messiah and killed Zahhak the demonic emperor after the latter killed Fereydun's mother from the same reason the terminator tried to kill Sarah Connor. The people who made "Ghost Rider" have a huge variety of mythologies/movies/books/games they could be inspired from. Why they couldn't search inspiration and processing it into a good product?

2. Morbid humor is indeed a good way to keep the story serious. Very well played :-). I know you know your way with theological satires. I will try my best with "Project Maria". But does all theological satires know what we know about morbid humor? Also, does a morbid humor can give comedies a tone shift to the dramatic/serious parts, change the genre of the setting and improve the story?

3. Know Don Quixote? So I have a theory that Sancho had a toxic influence over Don Quixote, somewhat like Hyena-Swine and his monsters mob. Don Quixote was out of touch with the world from the beginning. He was the kind of people that have too much money and too little common sense. Sancho was paid generously for aiding Quixote in his misadventures (fighting windmills whom mistaken as giants, saving Dulcinea who heard nothing about Quixote and so on). Sancho wouldn't be paid if his hallucinating master wouldn't believe himself to be a knight in a weird fairytale. It's possible that Sancho fueled his boss' craziness to keep getting paid

4. Recently I heard a theory about Willy Wonka's relations to the mad hatter. The person who got the theory say the mad hatter is Wonka's birthfather, or even Wonka himself. I wouldn't rule it out just yet, because both went crazy to stay sane, both have crazy hats and both are portrayed by Jonny Depp. Would it make sense if Skeet Ulrich's version of mad hatter (in Police Legend 4) will turn out have a secret identity, similar to Depp's version?

5. Would you do a reboot to Friday the 13 (the remake was good, so a reboot might be even better)? If so, how would your reboot look like?
