This is a fun little game. Go to [imdb.com](http://imdb.com), look up your favorite movie, and pick three of the plot keywords for other people to try to guess what movie it is just based on the keywords. When you guess the previous movie, post a new set of keywords for a new movie. I’ll start off with an easy one: **Wristwatch, Toothbrush, Nicotine Patch** ---

I had to cheat to find yours (never seen the movie). To keep the guessing rolling, I’ll box it: **Stranger Than Fiction** , right? But I just had to post this one, it’s too good to pass up: **Cardio, Blood, Twinkie** ---

It sounds fun but I don’t know either of the two movies already in play. Here’s one from me — Dead Man Crotch Grab Covered Bridge I think I picked some easy key words. ---

Beetlejuice, though that wasn’t easy. I don’t remember the covered bridge but made a guess based on the other two. Here’s mine. This should be easy: Polaroid Backwards Tattoo ---

Super-easy, it’s gotta be **Memento**. And **Zombieland** was correct for mine. So, let’s see, a new one, a little tougher: Cheating Covered in Feces India ---

> [@Little\_Nemo](#): > > Plastic Surgery > Samurai Warrior > Truck I know the answer but had to cheat (even though I’ve seen the movie twice) so I’ll leave it for someone else to answer. I guessed so many of the earlier ones correctly, too. Oh well, here’s another anyway: Hospital administrator perfectionist soap
