Note: This entry was lazily copypasted from that other dream topic
So it started out at a party where I was watching a really strange adaption (if you could even call it that) of The Three Musketeers that starred the Jonas Brothers as the titular characters. I remember that it had a sort of a bolivian army ending: at the climax of the film, they're buying cereal at a supermarket, but find out that apparently someone has planted a bomb in said supermarket, so they grab their Lucky Charms and set out for the exit at top speed - the movie ends before they can reach the exit.
As if that weren't random enough, the dream cuts to a strange sequel called "Ali Baba", evidently released many years later. The movie is a stop motion film which, as it says in the opening credits, was written and animated by Elijah Wood. It explains that in between the first and second films, the supermarket was... actually a library, I guess, and when it exploded, the Three Jonasteers or whatever took all of the books that had been scattered everywhere and stacked all of them into a huge, huge pile (it actually looked really amazing, I should make a painting of it sometime or something) that reached way up, like, you couldn't even see the top of it. It just disappeared into the clouds. So the Musketeers climb this colossal pile all the way up to a magical city in the sky called Ali Baba. It's a rather surreal, fantastical place, which is being ruled by an evil king and whatnot. The Three Musketeers get into a fight with some of the king's minions or something, and after what admittedly was a really cool action scene, in all of the commotion one of the Musketeers (let's just say it was Nick Jonas) and Clint Eastwood for some reason (I've given up on trying to attribute this film to any form of logic by any stretch of the imagination at this point) fall off the edge of the city and land back in the parking lot where the huge bookstack is.
It's a rather unstable bookstack, too - books keep falling from the sky down into the parking lot, and if I remember correctly there was even one part where a giant bucket of black paint fell down and nearly drowned our heroes. Clint firmly decides that Nick will need some training before he goes back up into Ali Baba to rescue his friends, so they have a generic Rocky training montage. But before Eastwood and Nick can celebrate, a crotchety old British policeman comes to inspect where Clint Eastwood had parked his car. After talking it over with him, Clint just barely avoids a parking ticket. And that's all of the story that I was given.
Yeah, nice job, Elijah Wood. You're definitetly on your way to an Academy Award. So that's it for today kids, I hope you enjoyed that. Also, if you want me to start posting more of my dreams, there's plenty more where this came from. As a matter of fact, this is actually Dream Log Entry #34, so I have enough material to last you hours of reading! Tell me what you thought in the comments!
