Rewriting Romeo & Juliet. What two conflicting groups do the star crossed lovers come from?

Windows laptop vs. MAC laptop

This is a real battle in my house.

With different endings.

But of course only some endings are made public. The others you need to figure out from the secret clues that were put in the fake versions to find the real version.

Wherefore art thou up in this bitch?

Romeo is a butch lesbian and Juliet is a bi-curious heiress, to her family’s consternation. I see Cara Delivigne and Kristen Stewart in the lead roles. Not sure which is which.

For sheer absurdity, the “one space before a new sentence” people versus the “two spaces before a new sentence” people.

Even worse, indent (or two spaces, if the media doesn’t allow for indenting) the beginning of a paragraph vs. why the fuck would you put extra spaces there.

I can relate.:smiley:

Jesus Christ, dude. We’re just kidding around here. There’s no need to go there.

The movie “R” is about a teenaged zombie who is slowly coming out of his zombiehood, and Julie, the daughter of the commander of a barricaded city fending off zombies.

Red Sox fans vs. Yankees fans; Cubs fans v. White Sox fans.

I actually had to do this in groups in high school and then act it out. My group did East Coast vs. West Coast rappers.

This was around 1994, so it was before Tupac was murdered.

I’m not really sure what groups to pick, but I think the story could be vastly improved in a rewrite by adding a giant, rampaging land squid.

The movie is called “Warm Bodies.” R is the main character’s name. Which until I read a recent AVClub article, the obvious parallels completely flew over my head.

Pedestrians vs Motorists.

Cowboys and sheep-herders.
