Although I didn’t contribute to the zombie portion of One sentence summaries that miss the point which was started 03-16-2003, 03:15 AM by 3trew and which has run for 5 pages up through 03-14-2009 02:48 PM (by The Tofu Kitty) with 236 Replies and 8,092 Views, nor to the “revival” which began with this post with approval in this post, I do see some potential for a flip-flop sort of game.
Simple rules:
Either rip off one of the entries from that thread or, better still, create one of your own, with the one-sentence summary as your guideline, and post it as a “clue” to a movie that has a decent chance of having been seen by at least a dozen Dopers.
To respond to a clue, quote the clue, guess that movie, and, if you want to, post a new summary of your own.
When somebody guesses your movie, quote their guess and say Yea or Nay as to the correctness of the guess.
Lather, rinse, repeat.
