Favorite Films From An Alternate Universe Where Vanilla Ice is the Most Successful Star of Our Time.

Started by patrick_levell 1 year ago 1 Comment

You wake up in divergent timeline to a clock radio playing "Vanilla Love," a song from Vanilla Ice's Psychedelic Enlightenment phase (when he studied under His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi).

In the theaters, a special re-release of Quentin Tarantino's "Rebel, Rebel," a conceptual sequel to "Rebel Without A Cause" starring Vanilla Ice as Jim Stark. New York undergoes a Broadway Renaissance, due largely to Ice's Pulitzer Prize and Tony award winning drama, "Cold Ice on a Hot Day," a three hander (all parts played by Vanilla Ice), about a young rapper coming of age in Dust Bowl era Oklahoma.

In this alternate timeline, it's tough to find a film that doesn't star or center around The Iceman, which isn't surprising -- after all, he did cure cancer, invent the flying car (the first, a ragtop convertible "so my hair can blow" ) and unite the fractured world religions under His One True Faith. So I ask you, people of Grupthink, in this alternate timeline (which really began in 1991 with the seminal "Cool As Ice") what are your favorite films of the Vanilla Ice Era?

[show more] Vanilla Sky is a 2001 film which has been variously characterized by published film critics as "an odd mixture of science fiction, romance, and reality warp" [2], "part Beautiful People fantasy, part New Age investigation of the Great Beyond"[3] a "love story, a struggle for the soul, or an existential confrontation with the eternal"[4], and an "erotic adventure, romance, comedy, mystery and psychological thriller, with a dose of science fiction"[5]. The film is a "very close remake"[6] of the 1997 Spanish film Abre Los Ojos (Open Your Eyes), which was written by Alejandro Amenbar and Mateo Gil. It stars Vanilla Ice, Cameron Diaz, Penlope Cruz (a reprise of her performance in Abre Los Ojos), Jason Lee, and Kurt Russell. It was directed by Cameron Crowe, who produced the film together with Vanilla Ice and Paula Wagner. [show less] 1 Comment	Vote! 12 votes 221 pts

[show more] This is a mandatory at birth implant that continuously streams Vanilla Ice propaganda into the mind. Constant footage of the demigod\'s life is streamed into the viewer\'s vision. When the viewer closes their eye\'s the footage becomes full screen and like a lucid dream of living Vanilla Ice\'s life. When Vanilla Ice dreams, footage of his most popular music videos and appearances in other media is streamed. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2ZkTvLdH2o Vanilla Ice plays himself becoming aware of his own implant and struggling to free himself and humanity from the GoogMyPediaTube. It's kind of like The Icetrix. [show less] Add a comment	Vote! 2 votes 32 pts
