Vedmak & FilmFable
I’ve once convinced a basilisk to move out of the way by tossing it dried herbs. The idea of tricking a monster with something as ordinary as a pinch of sage—could that be a good hook for a film?
Yeah, that’s a scene waiting to roll—basilisk in a tight corner, you toss a pinch of sage like a dare, the creature’s eyes glaze over, it slithers out, maybe even sighs in relief. Imagine the soundtrack: a playful sting, a close‑up of the herb fluttering, the basilisk’s face turning from menace to…meh. Title it “The Herbicide” or “Sage and the Serpent” and watch the audience laugh and cheer as the monster gets a makeover from a kitchen staple. It’s absurd, it’s cinematic, and it reminds us that even the most fearsome villains can’t resist a good seasoning.
