Arnold Schwarzenegger stars in "Charlie Brown: Enough is Enough" where he exacts his revenge against Lucy, played by Janet Jackson.

Michael Montage Stars in "Typing against the Machine" where in he types leaning against a sewing machine!

How about a slight alteration to the game.

You post the tagline, and the person below you writes the title to the movie.


So: Post 1: A whale escapes from the zoo, and then comes back looking for revenge

Post 2: ^ "Free Willy 4: Willy's Revenge"

         Everything was going well for Jack, he had a house, a family, a dog. Until a breakaway Eastern European republic declares war on him.

This game seems similar to this site: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmw...n/BetterThanItSounds

... only the game isn't with real movies/books/etc...

I'd be fine with the change.  I don't think he's saying to reference it to a real movie, just a funny made up title to go with the strange logline.

No, it's more fun with made up titles to made up taglines!

I think that'd be more fun.

player 1:  P1's tagline

player 2:  P1's title
           P2's tagline

player 3:  P2's title
           P3's tagline

Yes...let's go ahead and open a thread and see how it works.


...Yoss...

Why bother with a new thread? Why not just start here?

This is the testing thread.  The new thread needs the official rules posted in the first post and to start there.

But we're still testing it, right? Why bother making a new testing place? I'm confused... Not to mention if you really need the new rules, Yoss could simply update them in the first post.

No, I didn't mean to stop testing it.  I just mean I think we've hammered it out enough that it's now ready for a new thread without further testing.

I want some kind of credit for my brilliant, earth shattering idea! I want a cookie!

** hands praguepride a Girl Scout Cookie made from real Girl Scouts. **

"Girl scouts sell baby food made from real babies."

"Chainsaws take over the world."

"Cavemen split the atom."

Okay so the point of this game is to make up a name for the previous movie proposition, then make up a new proposition, right?

Please note:  Rules have been modified in the first post to reflect the suggestions of Praguepride

They are now:

Rules: You post a one sentence logline about what a movie or book is about.  The goal is to make it EXTREMELY bad and thus humorous.

The next person posts (1) a suggested title for the logline above and (2) a new logline for the next poster to create a title for.

A logline is a one-sentence line that explains what your story is about and shows the "hook" - the unique idea that makes people want to see more. You see loglines all the time in TV Guide and on the back of DVD boxes.  This game looks for really, really bad examples. Nay - terrible, stupid, "oh-my-God-that-idea-is-dumb-as-hell" examples.

EXAMPLES:
Post A:
"After the death of his goldfish, a priest renounces his faith and gets a job at the local White Castle, where he becomes addicted to special sauce and tries to dance his way to getting respect on the streets."

Post B:
The Holy White Castle

"A man's lifelong plan to dress up like Jabba the Hutt and star in a new line of workout tapes finally comes to fruition, but everything goes horribly awry when the man gets ink poisoning, lead poisoning and mercury poisoning all at once."

Post C:
Jabba's Big Butt

"When a woman dies and is reincarnated as a power saw, she uses a telepathic link with feral cats to help trick and trap and kill her former-lover-turned-murderer-turned-taxidermist."

Post D:
Saw the Puss in Alligator Boots

"After his dog dies horribly in a freak toilet water drinking accident, a plumber obsessed with analyzing toilet water for the cause of death finds that his dog’s spirit has possessed his vacuum and seeks revenge in all its suckiness."

Post E:
His Dog Sucks

"An inventor trying to find a method of cleaning dirty soap bars falls in love with a vegetarian vampire with dirty teeth who was exposed to inappropriate levels of solar radiation and can only be healed by a product that will also clean dirty soap bars."

Post F:
Vlad Should Have Had a V8

A man finds his remote stuck to the bottom of his butt when he takes a shower. He get's electrocuted when he tries to pry it off and dies. Now his spirit has come back and haunts the TV.

So yeah, I was right.

In reply to Ikyu Gyet (msg #40):

"The Man Killed by Remote"


A midget is accidentally thrown onto a football field and used as a football during the game. The underdog team somehow wins the big game by using this advantage.

The Pigskin Midget

Two men row down a river. One falls out and catches a fish. All with out a boat.

Maybe that could be another game. A game where someone comes up with just the proposed movie, then someone else posts the title, similar to the so-but game.
