Hot Heart Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 This was inspired by this thread and an old idea I'd had. You can use a whole sentence if you want, but if you can use six words, then, even better! Basically, sum up a film in one sentence with as few words as possible. Please remember to use spoiler tags if needed. Not sure they're a quick option but you're probably all aware you can create your own by using 'spoiler' between square brackets to start and then the same again but with a slash between the first square bracket and the s. Like so: FILM TITLE [s...]FILM SYNOPSIS[/s...] Still unsure? You can copy (quote) my example: Citizen Kane Man builds media empire. Misses childhood sled. Dies Have fun!

Cyber Rat Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 You used three sentences! Cheater! Machete Steven Seagal shows no emotion even with a machete in his chest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr W Phallus Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) Star Wars Farmer uses space voodoo to save galaxy far, far away. And don't you dare complain about the lack of spoiler tags. Edited January 19, 2011 by withoutphallus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hot Heart Posted January 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 You used three sentences! Cheater! Yeah, I know. I kinda adapted my six word one. I think its brevity makes up for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudkip3DS Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood (1957): Japanese remix of Macbeth, but far better than any English adaptation of Macbeth today. Sorry, but is there REALLY any point in spoiling a play that everyone knows the ending to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battra92 Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hamlet Dude's uncle kills the dude's dad. Dude kills everyone. Everyone dies. Dude! EVERY romantic comedy: Boy meets girl. Boy loses girl. Boy wins back girl. or a variation: Girl is too busy for a family but has to take care of one due to death and through that kid she meets the love of her life whom she first hates until the final act.

Commander Shepard Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Majority of Superhero movies: Hero rises to fame, Villain disgraces hero, Hero triumphs and saves the day. The Expendables A bunch of old action heroes shoot up El Presidente's estate and save the girl. 2012 The Earth goes to hell on a very predictable schedule and the US President is black. War of the Worlds (Remake) Germ warfare triumphs against aliens. Alternate War of the Worlds spoiler: Just another chapter from Tom Cruise's normal life.

Battra92 Posted January 20, 2011 Report Share Posted January 20, 2011 War of the Worlds (Remake) Germ warfare triumphs against aliens. Original War of the Worlds: And scattered about it, some in their overturned war-machines, some in the now rigid handling-machines, and a dozen of them stark and silent and laid in a row, were the Martians--_dead_!--slain by the putrefactive and disease bacteria against which their systems were unprepared; slain as the red weed was being slain; slain, after all man's devices had failed, by the humblest things that God, in his wisdom, has put upon this earth.
