Uncomfortable/amusing plot summaries.

You —

Mainly from here, but feel free to add your own.


A few that I liked:



  • ALIEN: Ship fails to deliver cargo, crew don’t get bonus.

  • ALIENS: An unplanned pregnancy leads to complications.

  • BATMAN: Wealthy man assaults the mentally ill.

  • DEMOLITION MAN: In a future where crime is completely eradicated, a black man steals and murders.

  • DIE HARD: Dysfunctional cop saves marriage by murdering foreign national.


ok, max 5 per person, otherwise I would post the full list.


PS I think I need to watch Blade Runner to see what all the fuss is about.

Watch a movie, any movie and then describe it in its most simplest way. Extra points if its funny.


In the batman example, Bruce Wayne is a rich millionaire. The baddies (the joker including) and derranged lunatics - people who in the real world would be put in a padded cell.


So its a rich person beating up the mentally ill.

Have you seen any of the movies? Or do you mean you get the point of this (there isn't really one, btw).[/quote]


Except Batman, nope... (and I think that batman was pretty old)


Oh OK cool. [/quote]


Watch The Dark Knight. Its about a year old. One of the best recent blockbusters.


Of course you may hate it, but atleast you will learn how to make a pen disappear.

LOL!!!! That is really funny!


Man in the Iron Mask- A man (Leo DiCaprio) wants to overthrow himself.

The Deathly Hallows- Some teenagers run away together

Phantom Menace- a maverick Jedi takes a boy from his mother


That's all I can think of at the moment.

Ok, original ones?


THE MATRIX: Black man gives white man drugs...and guns.

THE ONE: Paralell universes used to explain why chinese people all look the same.

TERMINATOR 2: Psychotherapist not impressed with his patient's rage-against-the-machine attitude. Does not admit he was wrong when patient's 'terminator fantasies' walk through a locked door and fight right in front of him.


Sorry Jet Li.

nope. Pick a film and try to explain its plot in one line. add a little twist to add humour.


Wait, not waffling *may* be a guys thing...


/hides


Any Indian Film: Boy meets girl, Boy can't have girl, much song and dance, boy can have girl.


(Have the plots moved on from that? in the last decade?)

Pirates of the Caribbean- Curse of the Black Pearl: Two pirates squablle over some treasure


Dead Man's Chest- Three boys fight over a girl and some Octopus' heart (very romantic)


At World's End- Some East London (by this I mean Global) gangs come together to fight it out on water.

[quote=The Lamp]Pirates of the Caribbean- Curse of the Black Pearl: Two pirates squablle over some treasure.[/quote]

😂 Not bad at all. Here's my take...


Pirate of the Carribean CotBP: Orlando Bloom stars in a pirate caper in which a damsel in distress must find her inner woman to save the day. Also features Kiera Knightely.


Too subtle?

Good tries, both of you, but I hae to disagree with both of your summaries! How about:


Pirates of the Carribean CotBP: Young boy is found floating on a plank of wood. He grows up to become Orlando Bloom, thus being so wooden he can float without the plank of wood.
