  1. I describe a film plot based on two movies.
  2. You tell me the combined title.

For example: Plot: suburban family gets mad at a hairy mountain-beast for satirizing them in his roman-a-clef.

Title: Deconstructing Harry and the Hendersons.

So reblog or comment with an answer to the following, but ONLY if you write your own too.

Plot: A conman accidentally teaches an Austrian family about the joys of song. But soon after they form a marching band and perform to a wildly appreciative audience, they’re forced to flee the country.

The Sound of Music Man?

PLOT: A newly engaged couple, whoose car breaks down in an isolated area, come upon a strange residence where they seek aid from a nerdish florist and his giant man-eating plant who demands to be fed.

Answer: Little shop of Rocky Horror Picture show

My post: Two pot smoking half-wits from New Jersey travel back in time to stop hollywood from making a movie about their comic book character personas.

Answer: Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back to the Future

New plot: A delusional young man buys a life-size sex doll over the Internet, and falls in love with her. The family intervenes by sending the doll to a mental institution after an apparent suicide attempt, where she befriends the other patients and battles her personal demons.

Answer: Lars and the Real Girl, Interrupted

And now the royal bacon plot: A sentient, robotic orca whale is the lone remaining being on the planet. It’s single goal is to collect and compact the world’s trash into giant skyscrapers of waste. The whale is lonely and wants to leave this empty planet. On a routine planetary mission to Earth, a young boy from faraway lands discovers this whale and helps him escape.

If we were all reading Kindles, and someone began raving about this new technology, the ‘book’—here’s something you can’t share, can’t search, that only holds 500 pages—no one would be interested.

— New York Magazine profiles the Interactive and R&D dream team at the NY Times. This article probably made the rounds when it was published back in January, but I somehow missed it.

From the season finale of SNL, this is the best Jeopardy skit yet. It has it all. Burt Reynolds (Norm MacDonald); Tom Hanks (who was not the guest host of the night, and made a cameo just for this skit); and of course Sean Connery (Darrell Hammond). The best. Saturday Night Live: Jeopardy, from May 17, 2009.

I’m the only calm, cool and collected one around here, it seems.

— That’s a pretty funny statement, coming from the ex-Mariner’s manager famous for picking up and tossing first base across the field. I love Lou, and by association, the Cubs. Be sure to watch the video of Zambrano taking a bat to the Gatorade machine. Zambrano loses his cool after ejection at Cubs.com

Colombo’s phone drawing is very much in the tradition of a certain kind of New Yorker cover, and he doesn’t see the fact that it’s a virtual finger painting as such a big deal.

— I just picked up Brushes for my phone, inspired by the video of Jorge Colombo drawing/painting this week’s New Yorker cover.
