shall we play a game?
I said we would play a game today, and so we shall. No, it's not called Global Thermonuclear War.
But it does have to do with movies. (And this idea is obviously not original. I played it on someone's site about two years ago).
What you do is you take two movie titles that share a common word and put them together. For instance, American Beauty and Beauty and the Beast. Together, they make American Beauty and the Beast. Sure, sounds easy enough, except you have to come up with a plot line, too. Other examples are When Dirty Harry Met Sally or A Few Good Men in Tights. Get it? Good.
Depending on how many submissions there are, I may turn it into a prize-winning contest.
To quote our favorite singer, "All I wanna do is have some fun."
So...two movies. One Title. Plot. And if you can get more than two movies in there and make it work, go for it.
Have fun.
I'll put mine up here as I think of them.
