Worst Loglines

(thread idea from Heath)

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

While going to get his memory repaired, an amnesia patient remembers that he had his memory erased so he wouldn't remember a memory of having his memory repaired.

and the book/movie title is: "What?"

The movie would have to be called 'swimming with sharks'

At the local pool, the lifeguard calls some patrons friends, while the rest are known as 'chum'.

In an attempt to discover the identity of his own killer, a ghost puts up hidden cameras in his haunted house, and all sorts of humorous antics are caught on film, with hilarious results.

Re: Testing - Worst Loglines

(this seems like an ok idea, but i don't think there is much interest in it.  I say we kill it quietly now)

Never again will we allow vampiric muffins to attack us again.  But we never allowed them to do anything in the first place, did we?
