Having "The Runs" in Hollywood

ADD Symptom" Is it dyslexia or is it that you just can't read?

As I was speed walking underground from one subway to the next, I saw this film poster duplicating itself along rows and rows of wall tile.  When I finally got to the No. 2 train platform, I saw the poster again. I stopped and stared.

The Runs.  That's right. 

Not The Ruins but The Runs.

That's what my unfocused eye saw. I must have stared at the poster

for a solid three minutes and as each second ticked by, heat rose beneath my shirt collar. So I turned to the bike messenger standing next to me and I said:

"Leave it to Hollywood to profit off of diarrhea.  Why couldn't I have thought of that?" 

He walked away from me.  Feeling slighted, I called back to him, "Shouldn't you be on a bicycle?"

I figured this bike messenger must have been a fan of the film and I kept thinking irritable bowel syndrome and gastric intestinal issues are never the plot devices I typically have in mind.

Should I?

The Runs, I thought.  What could it possibly be about? 

LOG LINE 1: A bloated woman has less that 24 hours to "hold it in".

LOG LINE 2: A dehydrated woman has less that 24 hours to "hold it in" while saving the world from extinction.

LOG LINE 3: A laxative overdose reunites a young woman and brings relief to a Mayan civilization.

I can imagine the trailer....it remind me of a film I shot years back.  Some of you may have already seen the trailer...you might be able to get the DVD...
