The Miranda Warning (Starring Miranda Cosgrove)

In this made-for-TV movie: The Miranda Warning, Miranda Cosgrove stars as Miranda, a psychic girl who can see impending deadly disasters, and she runs around trying to warn people about what’s going to happen; but because she’s Miranda Cosgrove, nobody pays any attention to her warnings, and they instead just ask for her autograph, and say stuff like: “Oh my God; aren’t you that girl from iCarly? My daughter loves that show! Wait ‘till I tell her I actually met you!” (etc.) And then they walk or drive off straight into their impending disaster that costs them their life. (Or else it turns out that because Miranda Cosgrove is a celebrity, people get distracted when they see her, and that's how the deadly accidents occur; so by people rubbernecking or doing a double-take from seeing her out and about in public, she ends up actually causing all the accidents simply by trying to prevent them!) Oh, the irony! It would be a perfect social commentary about how being such a celebrity-obsessed culture makes us ignore the important, substantive things in life. Plus, it shows how being selfish autograph-hounds will kill us all horribly in the end, or something. Oh, and it also demonstrates how we naturally assume actors never have anything interesting or genuine to say when they’re not playing a role written by someone else, or else that we all expect actors always to be acting in something, so we all assume it’s part of some movie or TV show whenever they say anything (and because as a made-for-TV movie, this is both a movie and a TV show, they’re right!). [<P.S.: This is just a joke. It's not a real movie.]
