“Imagine the story of a man who travels back in time and molests himself as a child. Okay? Now I’m not seeing afternoon special here -- though we can talk afternoon special if you need afternoon special -- I’m seeing psychological thriller. I’d want it to be completely nonjudgmental at the beginning. Let the audience decide for themselves; is it child molestation or merely a space age form of masturbation? But the catch is this: the more he molests his younger self, the more he changes the future, driving his adult self insane. With each forbidden grope a new kink forms in his kinky, kinky mind. This makes him molest himself as a child even more to a dizzying crescendo toward the end of the second act when the kid actor tells his guidance counselor and gets his older self plopped in jail. But he escapes and tries to kill the kid him in this really scary climactic scene in an abandoned nutraceutical plant. Finally, the kid pushes him into a vat of acetylsalicylic acid and vows to never grow up into his horrible self from the future. Then just before the end we pop in some sequel bait. Maybe just a quick shot of the kid getting a boner over his older self’s corpse.”
