Oops. There goes my newly acquired godhood. Pity, that.

I’m just going to repeat my summary here:

“Man writes a screenplay about a man writing a screenplay about a woman writing a book about a man growing flowers, while audience stops caring.”

42

Oops again. Simulpost with Ellen Cherry.

The Orchid Thief is the book. The film is called…

43

Here we go:

  1. “An actor receives unwanted guests.”

  2. “An eclectic group of people band together to prevent a home invasion by overbearing stiffs.”

  3. “Real estat concerns drive desperate kids underground.”

  4. “Quirky heavy metal youngster exerts his right to life.”

  5. “A man attempts to reconcile with his estranged wife on the holidays, complications ensue.”

44

Here’s another –

Italian tradesman’s attempt at foster parenting goes awry.

Where’s Waldo: The Movie? :smiley:

Seriously, I dunno. My only other guess is Shock Corridor, but that’s probably too obscure a movie for this game . . .

46
  1. “An eclectic group of people band together to prevent a home invasion by overbearing stiffs.”

Night of the Living Dead
4. “Quirky heavy metal youngster exerts his right to life.”

Edward Scissorhands

  1. “A man attempts to reconcile with his estranged wife on the holidays, complications ensue.”

  2. Nope

  3. Yup

P.S. The sad part is that it is only a matter of time before “Where’s Waldo?: The Movie” is made. Stupid Miramax!!!

And yes, I think we have to make sure that these are movies/books that anyone is likely to have seen/read.

Book-

Part 1: Big guy shows up, tells everyone to do what he says, or risk getting turned into a condiment. Part 2: Little guy shows up, says he’s sorry, but the big guy was wrong, and there will be no more condiment changing going on. At least for awhile.

50

Shortguy Adaptation is the movie.

51

By the way Ellen, “Dude who got raped pines for chick with giant nose” would have been a better description of Prince of Tides. For the record… :slight_smile:

52

… And HoviBaby that book would probably be the Bible.

53

  1. Sshhhhhhhhhhhh what was that? Fck fck f*ck. Running in the woods makes me nauseous.

  2. After bad people “cut in” on the dance, no one gets to leave.

  3. This movie isn’t on my Top 5 Best Film list even though one of the actors made my Top 5 Favorite Rockinest Dude list.

Did anyone catch my “A man attempts to recreate his death-by-lawnmower lost love.”? Hint - it’s a cult classic.

54

1: Blair Witch Project
2: Carrie
3: No Idea

Movie

"Things are scarier until you find out IT’S A GIANT F@<KING SPACE SPIDER!!! OH MY GOD, IT’S “IT”!!! I CAN’T STAND IT!! I HATE THAT MOVIE!! STUPID STEPHEN KING AND HIS SEEMINGLY IMPOSSIBLE ABILITY TO END A GOOD STORIES WELL!!!

Carrie is not.

56

Diane…FRANKENHOOKER.

57

YAY! You are correct bluethree!

58

Anyone know my numbers 2 and 3 yet?

59

Pinocchio?

60

Yay! Protesilaus you are correct.

HoviBaby, regarding The Prince of Tides, I was referring to the book not the movie, which I haven’t seen. The Jewish psychiatrist’s big characteristic there is her long black hair, which Conroy moons over incessently. LOL

Diane, you’ve stumped me!
