Nope, not being ironic, just pointing out that not everyone on earth knows the plot to the movie despite it being 7 years old. Until I read a paper this summer on it, that went into explicit details of where the guy was getting his inspiration, I never even knew what the movie was about. I’d heard the title before, and assumed it was about some sort of crime, but never learned a single detail about it. No one I knew talked about it when it came out, and it’s so much later that no one I know now has ever brought it up in coversations. I don’t think I’ve even seen a commercial for it.
Umm… I was referring to your comment about A Beautiful Mind.
Twister: Oh, no! Killer tornado! Repeat.
Dude, Where’s my Car?- Guys look for car. Llamas!
Battlefield Earth: Worst. Movie. Ever.
** The Warriors: ** They’re New York gangs. Right.
** Sleepy Hollow: ** Johnny, give him his head.
Hey jjimm, I think you also need to disqualify both references to The Color Of Money. Unless there is a Director’s Cut out there that I don’t know about Vincent (Cruise) lost on purpose to Fast Eddie (Newman) to make more money in the Practice Room. Fast Eddie in turn forfeits the next match. So neither “Lose, train, win” or “Cruise crushes cues, captures championship” are valid.
I’ll make a change to read:
Color of Money - No “Cruise” control infuriates Eddie
I know this is your game but wouldn’t be better if we gave the clues and had everyone guess the movie? Just a thought. After all, it is your thread.
Two for Blood Work, one with spoilers and one without:
Spoiler-free version:
Fed gets seconds: heart, chance.
Spoiler version:
No one is the killer.
I can do four movies in seven words:
The Hobbit: Bilbo finds the ring.
The Lord of the Rings: Frodo destroys it.
Per ** NYR407 ** 's suggestion, I’m offering these descriptions. Anyone care to guess the titles?
-
Robokid lasts forever, unlike audience!
-
Dances with Ugly Duckling
-
Pink Bus Drags On.
That would be A.I.
I don’t know #2, so…
Probably Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
Here’s a few of my own… guess that movie!
-
Man answers payphone, chaos ensues!
-
Woman interrogated by schizophrenic molester?
-
“Too much i’ the sun.”
-
Alien sparklers attack the Earth!
- Artifical Intelligence - good one
- Is this Dirty Dancing?
- ?? No idea
Ha!
Requiem for a Dream: Drugs are bad, mmm-kay?
Meet the Feebles: Muppets fucking. You’re not tripping.
Kids: Deflowering young girls, with AIDS.
Bad Lieuntenant: Officer crackhead Keitel is nasty.
Gone In 60 Seconds - 59 seconds too long.
Deep Throat - Heady fun.
The Sound Of Music - the sound of mucus.
Braveheart - almost everybody gets kilt.
Cast Away - Isle be home late, honey.
Showgirls - nit wit tit pic; ick
** Avalonian ** and ** NYR407 **, you both got #1 right. ** Avalonian ** got #3. Nobody got #2 - It’s Strictly Ballroom.
4: Matrix? I can’t remember if Keanu answered the phone in that one, it’s been awhile.
6: Something shakespeare? That line’s so familiar… Hamlet?? If it is, I’d guess K. Brannagh’s, because that’s far too much of ANYTHING (sun, gesticulating, sitting still) for me.
Can’t guess 5 or 7.
DMark: Loved your Braveheart!
Some more to guess:
-
Gabby gimp gives big fib.
-
Major Tom’s crazy maze.
-
Houston hears biggest understatement ever.
- Sounds like The Usual Suspects
- ?
- Apollo 13
Here’s two:
11) Small dog shows up first
12) A Cage helps artist escape
Sounds like Miracle Mile.
Here’s one:
“Soylent Green is Kaiser Soze!”
Maybe I’m a little confused.
Nicely done, ** NYR407 ** , You’ve got 8 & 10. (granted, Usual Suspects is getting a little old, but my wits temporarily deserted me, and I couldn’t think of any other movies I’d SEEN).
Your latest 2 have me stumped.
Love to all,
Kn*ckers
Oh. The trailers did not give every single plot point from beginning to end of the movie, but the 4 page paper did. When I got to the point where the kid started talking about how neat it was that The guy’s former roommate and his contact weren’t real people, just something his mind conjured up and then when on to describe the end in exacting detail, I decided there was no point to seeing the movie.
Soylent Green: People chow-oh no!
