Kinzcove, I cannot see that idea in Lego. Live action TV series, perhaps, but not Lego.
I beg to differ, I'd love to see that idea in Lego, and I wouldn't count my eggs before they hatch. He could surprise you, and I fully support you in it, Kinzcove.
It not really was intended for LEGO. More of a live-action film inspired by this girl I know.
Anyways, new page and my idea was the last post so.. quotes.

Blood Thick Bonds
A clique of teenagers, lead by a rich teenage girl who is not exactly the 'nun' like type and hates her parents. She and her friends go into a bad, gang filled neighborhood. This decision was made by the rebellious rich girl who has a liking to bad-boys. She runs into a gang of Latinos and purchases drugs from them and hangs around with the gang. But they still owe a big sum for the drugs and they keep stalling paying it. The rich girl soon is being followed by the gang on a weekly basis and stops by the neighborhood to 'hang out' with them every now and then. Her friends refuse to go with her, fearing they will run into trouble. The girl keeps getting harassed about the drug money and to get the gang off her back, she goes to the police and claims the gang attacked her and etc. Due to the police's racist judgement they beleive her
and arrest the gang. They are put to trial and the girls series of lies win her the case, but the gang is only put in prison for around a month or two since the charges are small. The girl now is suffering major abuse
from her parents who know question what she was doing in the bad neighborhood.Time passes and her friends now hang out with the girl more knowing the gang is behind bars. Time passes and the gang members are released from prison and now go after the girl. The girl now goes out partying late once more, now that her parents restrictions softened. The girl and her parents forgot about the gangs release. The girl continues to go back to the bad neighborhood secretely to hang around with the bad-boys to anger her parents and fuel her never-ending rebellious behavoir. One night upon returning home, her dad is furious and kicks her out of the house. While packing, gang members barge into the home, rob it, and that is only the start of the terror that would continue. The rebellious party girl now finds herself stuck as a slave to the gang members and must escape soon before she meets the same fate as her parents.
About your ideas RealBrick, they all have that sorta cliche 'trying to be epic' feel to it. The first one is the better of the two but 'okay' at best. It'd be good if you executed it like a gaillo film with a lot of plot twists.

Synthetic
An orphanage is short on hands, so a robotics company donates a "boy" helper to take care of the orphans and to assist the runners of the orphanage. However when parents come to adopt, they choose the Boy because of it's perfect nature, but the Boy must decline because his job restrains him from going, thus, the other children begin to grow a extreme distaste for the Boy and abuse him physically and verbally. This continues until the end.
Feedback?
Talk about a positive feedback loop. The more people choose the robot, the more the other kids hate him, the less likely those kids will get picked.

Exposed
A man is simply driving home from his workplace when a seemingly out-of-control car slams into the rear corner of the car, sending it head-on into a truck. He then wakes up in a hospital to learn that the car had been driven purposly and that the "accident was really an attempt made by a criminal thought to have died in a office building fire 7 years ago. Being given a fake Identity by the Witness Protection Program, he feels determined to learn more about the criminal and why it tried to kill him. But can he do this with an over-protective police captain breathing down his back, and can he perform this opperation without exposing his Identity?
It'd be better imo if his wife died in the car crash. And he is trying to kill the criminal with the captain breathing down his neck. And when he finally gets the chance to do it, his conscience stops him.
It's a pretty nifty idea.

Criminals are "its" now?
@Kinzcove: I am probably going to modify the virtual reality story a bit. How do you think I can "Fix" Exposed so it is "good."
@CartoonKid98: The guy isn't really going to be married, perhaps he is car pooling? I don't know.
I fixed it Vik.
Ah, I wasn't sure wether or not it was an actual mistake.
Hey guys, I'd like more feedback on my idea above. Thanks.
@RealBrick: I'd like for the whole office building thing not to be revealed till the end and the man who crashed into him was a criminal, just save it for the end. Make the guy want to know what happen without knowing the clues about a criminal and an office building. If you save those details for the end, they could help make a good plot twist and story.
The whole story is basically revealing how the man was involved with the fire, and why the criminal came after him.
Escape to Reality
The military has been expirimenting with virtual realities and artificial atmosphere creation since the end of 2047. And it is the beginning of 2056 when Cedric Whitney is asked to test the first virtual reality in hopes of sucess and possible use for containing prisoners and criminals by mental imprisonment. But when the generator faces problems due to a power shortage and the main computer refuses to continue the expiriment, the man is unable to leave the reality properly, is he now doomed to live his life in a cubic room with only a projector showing footage of his real life, or can he get out, and alive.
I must say, I like the idea of a virtual reality, as precious few have even been attempted in Lego, and most of them are mighty fine. I hope you're going to build up the story, though, as it's a bit bland - maybe put other things in the room with the man, make him relive his life, or his imagination, etc (yes, those are cliched suggestions, but they are only suggestions to open up possibilities). Maybe the man is enjoying his time in the virtual reality when suddenly the machine is fixed and he comes back to real life. Or he's a criminal and seeing his past makes him become 'good'.

How did the nice folks in the hospital know who the driver was, why it wasn't an accident, why there was a murder attempt, and how the hell did they figure out it was a criminal who was supposed to have died in a fire 7 years ago? If they were able to stop the car and figure all that out, why hasn't he been arrested?
Feedback for my idea would be lovely and all.
The story seems interesting. I love the drama, action, and realism of it. I would say that there is nothing wrong with it, but I would just watch out and make sure not to make it to racist. Other than that, beatiful, it looks to be an epic film 
Well MM, the criminal's car was caught up in the crash and left behind, and this was in a city street, so there would probably be a security camera or two, and there are bystanders, the car may have DNA samples if you want to get that detailed, and the Hospital didn't figure it out, chances are, they don't know all of ehat happened except a car accident. The police are in the room when he wakes up, so thats how he learns. I could also adjust the story so this accident is only a first attempt and nobody know who he is, but the second attempt reveals it, like breaking into an appartment with a handgun.

It'd be extremely tough not to give off a racist feel from the idea, especially since the idea really targets the stereotypical minorities that would be involved in gang violence on a typical basis, but I'm not really going for the message "Don't trust [this race] or [this race]." The message really is supposed to be one decision could ruin your life.
Well, that's the beauty of minifigures, all of them are yellow. (Not anymore, though.)

I think that no one of movie sets has yellow minifig's. (Harry Potter, Prince of Persia, Star Wars, etc.). I think it sucks, cause I love the yellow minifigs way more then the flesh one's.
DAMN YOU LEGO!!

Hear hear! It's really annoying when you're trying to animate, you have to perfect faces but they're both different colours.
