Just when you didn't think Hollywood could dredge up more filth from the sands of la la land, comes a stirring tell of a... uh... dred-locked dude's quest to protect the girl in his life.  Also don't forget that this movie offers... SABERTOOTH TIGERS AND MAMMOTHS IN ANCIENT EGYPT!  SABERTOOTH TIGERS AND MAMMOTHS IN ANCIENT EGYPT!

One last time... SABERTOOTH TIGERS AND MAMMOTHS IN ANCIENT EGYPT!


...

You know it would have been a lot cooler if Roland Emmerich had a story about the Sumerians having Giant Robots.  Sumerians are cool being the first civilization and all, but giving them Giant Robots?  Thats made of win and awesome.  [always wanted to say that]

Don't forget raptors. Raptors, mammoths and sabertooth tigers in ancient Egypt. I think it's time for Hollywood to take a time-out in the corner.

I still like my Ancient Sumerian mechs idea personally.  Post-apocalyptic tale where the last Sumerians resist the conquering Akkadians with big ass robots and cuneiform derogatory slang all over the place.

Worst excess of Anime and Hollywood blended together into the most unforgettable movie ever concieved.

The title would have to be "Sumer" in big ass lettering.

EDIT:  I guess this is what happens when you have a Getter Robo marathon for yourself.  Would still be a nice piece of satire... I wonder if I write the script, would a Hollywood company make it?

     Giant robots would explain a lot about how the pyramids were built.

Also stonehenge, Easter Island... I think I just came up with a theory that explains it all.  Here I come scholarly world!

The Atlantians (not the state) were ancient construction contractors that built many of the ancient peoples greatest monuments with their giant robot technology.  Rivalry with Athens caused the failed invasion, and the subsequent political upheaval sparked a civil war that weaponized these robots and caused the island to be destroyed in a single day.

You know what a Golem is right? There's tons of er Bronze-Punk Mech potential there, the chem could be in cuneiform on a clay tablet rather than Hebrew on paper and we'd be in business.

Don't forget Vikings. Vikings and Viking knockoffs have so far been squirted into every movie set in the period between the creation of the universe and the First World War. Vikings on bronze, steam-powered motorcycles.

Robots made entirely out of clay. Like the golem. That's why we haven't found evidence of them. All that's left are pot sherds.

Or, ooh, oooh, oooh: the epic of Gilga-MECH!

Heh heh, "Sumer" might just be an interesting OEL manga to write.  Time to start reading history books!  Bronze punk just sounds awesome!

EDIT:  This an idea that just might work!

No I meant if you wanted to write one and fancied writing with somebody in a collaborative type thing. I have big ideas about hopw to make Bronze Punk work but you know it's good to bounce them off somebody and, conversely to have somebody try out their ideas.
