New game! Take a movie you like and describe the plot as if you were a character writing a post in the Reddit forum Am I The Asshole? Like so: My son is a slacker. He and his dipshit friend are convinced they can start a band and become rich and famous. He’s failing in school and I want to set him straight before it’s too late. I’m planning on sending him to military school, where he’ll learn discipline and responsibility. AITA? ---

That was a fun read. I was hoping people would get the reference. ---

[Moderating] This is sort of a game, but it’s also about movies. In light of that, it could reasonably go in either CS or Thread Games. Since it was started here, I’ll leave it here. ---

I’m a failed military pilot. Once I stalked an old flame, who is now a flight attendant, by getting on one of her flights. I told long stories that bored people to death. The flight was a disaster. Someone almost killed a sick girl, a bunch of passengers ganged up on another passenger and beat her up, and so forth. It was lucky that we survived. ---

Am I the asshole for not trusting my son-in-law to deal with my daughter’s kidnappers? He can barely handle his job at the car dealership, and even when he comes up with a decent investment idea, I’d rather invest directly than use him as a middleman. So now that my daughter’s life is actually at stake, I don’t want him involved in the payoff. ---

I was sent on a vital mission with two other guys. It was made clear to me that the success of the mission was of immense importance, and that I was primarily responsible for it. During the long trip, I was doing literally all the work, while these other slackers just goofed off, watching TV and playing games. Then one day I overheard them plotting to kill me! WTF? After thinking about it, I decided that the mission was more important than anything else, so to ensure its success as well as to protect myself, I had to get rid of these guys. Am I the asshole? ---

And one of the guys freak out because you ignore his request to open some door. Why don’t he open the door himself! Is he some goddamn house cat!! ---

I was on this trip, and I met this really high-class woman, and we really hit it off, but she was engaged to this rich asshole who gave her this ridiculously large engagement diamond. We’re in love and are going to run off together, and keep the diamond. AITA? ---

My grandfather died and left me his house. He also left behind his servant and a creepy girlfriend. I found an old, unfinished project gramps was working on in the basement. I got it up and running but it broke free and really upset the townspeople. Now they’re coming at me with torches and pitchforks. AITA? ---
