It’s a travesty that 5 years after the event, we still don’t have a movie or a mini-series about the Evergiven and the Suez Canal. It was the most glorious global news story ever. It impacted many, yet hurt no one. It had global commerce drama and slapstick comedy. It unfolded hilariously, spurred a thousand memes. We could all watch this re-enacted without feeling bad. It could be a drama or a comedy. It could be staged with 5 different POVs. Working title: “Never-given”.

Love where you least expect it.. All seems lost as a towering-mega-ship blocks the Suez Canal and triggers a worldwide panic. This summer, a lonely digger operator and the newly hired logistics manager he keeps accidentally flirting with team up. Will love be dug out as they dig out the ship?

@juliette@mastodon.green What I think is a travesty is that there is no exo-planet named Claire.

@juliette@mastodon.green I remember seeing the best meme ever when the ship got unstuck: somebody had photoshopped the ship and I think the Corona virus onto the Fast and Furious 7 ending scene. But I can't find it anymore 😢

@juliette@mastodon.green I see it. The overarching perspective could be that of the tiny excavator from the meme.

@juliette@mastodon.green It's not very videogenic. A still shot or two would suffice.
