Electrocuted horses!
This has to be one of the strangest stories of the year so far, and would make a great alternative to Seabiscuit and Secretariat feelgood nonsense horse movies.
Earlier this week, two horses were accidently electrocuted by a cable running under Newbury Racecourse. A further two horses were seen to "wobble"
I love horses as much as the next person, but there is certainly a film in here somewhere - maybe a knockabout comedy, but hopefully a Lynchian thriller!
Personally I'd cast two Pantomime horses as the leads.

Lapland theme park
This story is perfect for a comedy.
It is the story of two brothers who set up a dodgy Lapland-style theme park. The Lapland New Forest attraction located on the Dorset Hampshire border - which costs up to £30 a ticket - promises a magical festive experience including a winter wonderland full of reindeers and log cabins, a skating rink and a magical tunnel of light.
It was closed a week later, after disgruntled customers attacked Santa and his elves!
"Instead of a magical festive treat, visitors who came from far and wide to Lapland New Forest found mud, wooden buildings with the "lightest possible dusting of snow", fairylights hung from trees rather than creating a "magical tunnel of light" and a broken ice rink."
Surely this story is crying out to be made into a movie! The larger of the two brothers already looks like a fucked CGI swollen Ray Winston, and the other one could be played by Liam Neason, after a few hours in the make-up chair.
The brothers have now been convicted.
Here is a great video of visitors complaining.
