A while ago I dated someone who once took a rather un-fulfilling trip to Reno. I guess Reno isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Who woulda thunk it?
Anyhow, while discussing his Reno Va-cay I had an epiphany: “Chance on Reno” would be a great porn title.
I tried to spec a script to him, but he declined. Apparently, not everyone thought it was as brilliant of an idea as I did. I think this disconnect, frankly, really began to weigh on our relationship. Ultimately, it’s probably why we broke up. But alas, the dream of “Chance on Reno” lives on for me.
Three possible plot lines:
1. “Chance” goes to Reno in order to drink himself to death. While there he meets “Reno” a lovable, sensitive prostitute with heart of gold. She’s also great in bed. P.S. I don’t want to hear anything about that little movie “Leaving Las Vegas.” Those bastards stole my idea…seven years ago.
2. “Chance” is a lovable but cautious young boy just entering into his “manhood.” His teacher, “Ms. Reno”, will show him more than just how to calculate dividends.
3. “Chance” is a sad man who’s lost his kitten. He lives in New Jersey. “Reno” is a hairstylist. She’s from New York. She consoles him. The rest writes itself.
Can anyone else say “brilliant?” Yeah. That’s what I thought.

The sequel, “I once shot a man in reno just to watch him die,” also writes itself, though it’s rather short and contains excessive screaming/crying.
