Movie game of remove a letter and summarize a plot

Postby PufPuf93 » Mon May 13, 2019 12:06 pm

Here are some examples to start:

Eyes Wide Hut - Woman on vision quest rents hut in Iceland during the off-season that has poor illumination and is rife with vermin (cockroaches, spiders, mice, rats, Icelandic elves and other creepies). Decides her life wasn't so bad after all.

Trading Laces - Valley girl with OCD barricades herself in mall shoe store and won't come out until spirited away by delivery truck driver to distribution center.

Da Vinci Cod - Talented young artist gives up his art to marry a fisherman's daughter and become a fisherman. He invents an automated cod cleaning and fileting machine. In his spare time he paints fish murals all over the village. Today the fishing industry has died but there is a tourism industry based upon his murals, some are still being discovered. As a tie-in to the movie release, there is a coffee table book of his restored murals.

Men in Back - All the men in the world wake up to a medieval world where they have just been released from slavery to the women. The never-ending story of how they strive to become equal and free in an unjust world.

Fee Willy - An ex-POTUS with a weight problem wanders the world collecting stipends for The Fee Willy Foundation. He is uncertain as to whether he wants his wife to be POTUS.

^^^ :thumbsup I love these--they're are wonderful (esp. 'Da Vinci Cod')! Does it have to be just one letter removed or are the rules flexible (inc. interchangeable summaries)?

If so, I recently purchased The Criterion Edition of Barry Lyndon, so following the last listed film's ex-POTUS theme...

Bar Lyndon: in which Washington big-wigs controlling conservative factions work behind the back of a closeted President to prevent him from running for re-election. Disgraced, Lyndon kills his wife, changes his name to Lad Bird to cover the crime and retires to his Texas ranch. He changes the ranch’s name to A Cockwork Orange, grows 2001 varieties of fruits and vegetables and begins an affair with Full Metal Jack, a Nazi dentist wanted for war crimes in which he hid his cache of silver in the teeth of his patients. To prevent detection, Jack undergoes a sex-change operation, changing his name to Marathon Ma. Meanwhile, Lyndon’s White House successor enjoys his party's Pats of Glory by winning two presidential elections, after which the same big-wigs reveal his Chin Syndrome, a congenital lack of Jaw and he faces his own disgrace, leaving Fields of Reams of legal paper as his only legacy.

Tar Wars - The Empire wants to get it's hands on the Tar Sands of Denibius III and only the Rebellion stands in their way. Spook, Wayer and Dan, along with two droids - Fairly Effeminite and Trashcan, travel to the far-flung planet of Earth in the Sol System, looking without luck for evidence that Palpatine was once a member of The Backstreet Boys. Imagine the shame. Instead, they find The Holy Sceptre of The Tar Sand God which, when weilded, sets your enemy's hair on fire and instantly makes their bowels empty. They use it to smite Palpatine and his cronies time and time and time again, much to the merriment of The Rebellion. For a while, The Empire suffers from a galaxy-wide dearth of incontinence pants, much to the chagrin of the elderly residents. But things are set to change... Rated U.

The Empire Trikes Back - Enfeebled by constant attacks from The Rebellion and forced to use old tech, The Grand Moff Tarkin and Emperor Palpatine take to their three-wheeled trikes, fitted with oversized pedals, lightweight cranks and ray guns built in to the handlebar stem. Capable not only of fast land travel but also of space flight, the trikes have rocket ion boosters under the saddle. Moff and Palp put peanuts up their nostrils and wear ski goggles to survive the vacuum of space. They bomb Tatooine and laugh while they're at it. Palpatine accidentally sets off a nuke he was just about to launch from his utility belt, blowing both himself and Moff to pieces. Moffs hairpiece is found drifting in the Ferretti Sector several years later by a tribe of space-mercenaries with 18 foot long necks and tiny eyes that swivel back into their head at inopportune moments. And now the adventure really begins... Rated U.

Return Of The Edi - nah, doesn't work.

You are good at this Cordelia Think you invented a genre :yay

I think the rule is to remove one letter. There was a thread several years ago in the DU Lounge and the OP is my post to that thread. I was searching for an old post and found that post in the process and thought it would work here only more clever and underground and that my movies were more clever than my current mind is capable not to mention subversive in the ClintonUnderground. Seriously, these plots could be filmed. You and cd already proved yourselves more clever. Humor is good. :bigsmile

Thanks PufPuf! But I shouldn't have sailed so far off course. Removing one letter followed by apt summaries are better rules and certainly more challenging (probably too much so for my mind). I like yours and cd's far better.

Such are my Rues of the Game .........in hindsight this morning. :wink:

Forrest Gum - the incredible and inspiring story of Troy Preteen, a man who suffered from Benkhauser-Duggenschite syndrome, an incurable condition that causes trees and other fauna to grow from his gums. After a lifetime of bark and leaves soiling his palette, follow Tre on his quest to find a dependable lumberjack in the midst of a zombie outbreak. Starring George Clooney as himself, Ellen DeGeneres as 'Hooter' and Tom Cruise as 'Shoeshine Boy'. Rated PG-13. Caution: contains scenes of uncontrolled drooling, flesh-eating, mild peril, gore, vulgar language and auto-erotic asphyxiation.


Rock - the heartwarming chronicle of a piece of stone that struggles to realise the American Dream, by the reknowned French Director Jean-Paul Hehawhehaw and his indominatable striped jersey and claret-coloured beret. Charting the formation of Rock from prehistoric times to it's final placement in the steps leading to The White House, this intimate portrayal of an incredible lifespan and solidity in the face of adversity is a triumph of modern cinema. Co-starring Ghiselle The Wonder Chisel in her first screen appearance since the 1960's masterpiece 'Tap, Tap, Tap', incidentally directed by Jean-Pauls uncle, Pascal-Phillippe Hehawhehaw. Rated G. Caution: contains scenes of mild peril and ocassional drug use.

Hostbusters - Delilah Shatscraffen and Dezzie Effindoltard head an all-star cast in this hilarious romp through the trials and tribulations of a society hostess and her bff trying to keep their forthcoming 'Coming Out Ball' a secret from the local biker gang, who wish to gatecrash the party and fondle all the guests. Much hilarity ensues, including car chases, an unusual use for rubber gloves and great difficulty for the ladies in keeping their clothes on! Rated R. Caution: contains scenes of male aggression, male and female promiscuity, drug abuse, malice aforethought, nudity, wickedness, ambiguity, bodily waste and harsh language, verging on the obscene.

The Wizard of Z

The Wizard ruled Rome. Pope Floyd was know as Pink Floyd to his intimates, nicknamed for the favorite color of his sole soul food. Pink had a secret, the powers-that-be were not Satanic pedophiles, they were worse. Few knew that the Wicked Witch was his twin sister; the Wicked Witch procured and groomed Floyd's diet.

Halfway around the World, Dorothy and her companion dog, TarTar, had a crisis. They had eaten the brains of all the Christian children and Little People in Kansas. The Christian children grew up very stupid, lacking a brain but living none the less. The zombie tween and her zombie dog were considering their options when a tornado picked up their home that subsequently dropped on the Wicked Witch in Naples, freeing the Pope's prime source of brain, the Munchkins. Generations of Munchkins rose in joy to celebrate, dancing and singing.

Dorothy squealed with glee, "Brains TarTar". Dorothy and her dog munched. They munched. And they munched some more.

In this tale there is no Yellow Brick Road; no Tin Man, no Cowardly Lion, no Scare Crow, no Good Witch; there is a blood splattered path that leads to the abattoir that is the Vatican. Pope Floyd summoned Dorothy and TarTar to Rome to answer for the death of his lover and sister, the Wicked Witch.

Oddly Pink took an immediate affection for Dorothy and TarTar. Dorothy could manage food and Pope Floyd discovered he liked pedophilia and beastiality as much as incest as long as he was well-fed. Dorothy rebuild the Coliseum and farmed the masses. Together Pink and Dorothy figured they were set for 1000 years, the best Rome ever.

Dorothy often mused, "there are no brains like Rome".
