After about a century's worth of movies, television shows, literature you'd think scenario writers have run out of new ideas. Most of what we now get are sequels, rehashes, retellings, retcons, resets, prequels or just plain carbon copies. And after awhile people notice that trick, hence they find their way to more interactive kinds of entertainment like GTA (of which you have at least six games in one series).
To draw in the viewer to your story, scenario writers are taking things a little bit too far. Crystal Skulls? C'mon. Bruce Willis downing a jetfighter with a handgun? Yep. Freakin Mummies in China? Come and get 'em.
Few stories come out with even an ounce of realism. People are stuck with trick vehicles like real-time (24, Before Sunset), or flashbacks (How I met your mother, Memento). But a truly unique story? Can't find them. Haven't seen them. Or you would have to mean the artsy stuff (although that's more intended to shock rather than actually being intelligent).
So, if you have a link to a genuinely original story, please post it here. If I find a story similar to it, if it's part of a series, if I find it in a religious manual, it is disqualified.
