I’ll get the ball rolling:
Dead Man’s Shoe (2004)
Sounds like a tearjerking tale of a recently-bereaved man returning the shoe of a road accident victim he found in a bush to the victim’s late wife, through which they spark a deep friendship that goes beyond mere love. PG-13 5/10 Oscar-bait shite.

The Otter of the Medusa
First movie in the ‘Medusa’ trilogy. About an ancient order of sea otters called ‘Medusa’, that have saved the world from behind the scenes countless times over the centuries. Improved human technologies and destruction of habitats are causing cracks to form in the organization, and some are starting to question whether humans should be kept around at all. Based on a famous painting with the same name.
Posters for the rest of the trilogy:
Medusa’s Legacy: The second film in the trilogy covers the aftermath of first film and gives you a look at how deep the organization really goes.

Oh. My. Gods.
I love your posters and would totally stream these films!
Holy shit! That was great! The posters are hilarious!
I love them, they took a few attempts but it was worth it
The Cove 2: Tailhook Season
this time the dolphins are drunk, horny, and aggressive. Come for the beautiful actresses in bikinis, stay for the puffer fish fueled orgy scene.
Insides Out. A Pixar horror film.
by Chuck Palahniuk
Jaw.
A very impressive but ultimately harmless piece of shark jawbone washes up on the beach of beautiful Amity Island, where it is later taken to the city hall to be displayed under glass. The summer tourist season continues on with little to no issue.
James Bond: Singlepussy.
James settles down and gets monogamous.
I did it for King and Cuntry
Screenplay - “Goldfinger” (1964)
---- SCENE
James Bond lies strapped to a table and looks on with increasing anxiety at the laser beam between his legs as it moves slowly towards him.
Bond: “Do you exshpect me to talk?”
Goldfinger: Scoffs “No, Mr. Bond! I expect you to ask Moneypenny out. She’s really into you!”
Bond: Relieved “Sure, I could do that.”
Goldfinger shuts off the laser.
Goldfinger: “Good.”
---- END SCENE
ROLL END CREDITS
🎶Goldfinger. He’s the man, the man with the matchmakers touch…"🎶
Lord of the Fly. One man’s battle with forgetting to do up his pant zipper.
Or it is a strange sequel to The Fly…
That’s not a conch!
I feel strangely triggered

Gremlin (1984)
A 160 minute slog of an arthouse film presented in black and white with almost no dialogue, chronicling not much happening over the period of several days to the owner of a chronically cantankerous compact car, which he can’t get to start and thus can’t go anywhere. Unrated; for some inexplicable reason, also subtitled entirely in French.
Waiting for a Tow
Beautiful.
Snow White and the Dwarf
Alien
The exact same movie again, with no change whatsoever. 10/10
I’m on the edge of my seat! I just have to know if the next scene is identical too!
The Incredible - Instead of his whole family being super, it’s just him. He’s hidden his identity his whole life and is killed by Syndrome trying to reclaim his glory days because there’s no one to come help him.
Dead Poet Society - Just the sad story about the one guy who kills himself
One Samurai - Weeb who thinks he’s a Samurai tries to defend the innocent. Gets killed on his first attempt.
The Magnificent One (so many thing this could turn the movie into but I choose to believe it’ll end up about some religious figure)
Ghostbuster - Just Bill Murray being a quack scientist the whole time, or maybe Egon having a fruitless search for ghosts
One (previously Seven) - A documentary about some billionaire who thinks they’re special and the only one who can save the world.
Star War - Stops after the first movie. Wait, this may make it better.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle - It’s just the scientist on his quest to make the first turtle
The Musketeer - Given this movie exists and I doubt many people who watched it could even tell you what it was about, speaks for itself
Transformer - Documentary about the making of the first electrical transformer.
Tremor - becomes a movie about an earthquake that happens in Perfection. Destroys the few buildings in town and they are forced to rebuild or move.
X-man - Story of the last person in the X-men group, basically a rehash of Logan.
The Warrior - Yet another story about some special person in the distant past who’s a great fighter or saves his village from some bandits.
Overachiever
Helps that I’m sitting in front of my wall of movies.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle - It’s just the scientist on his quest to make the first turtle
I’d watch that documentary

Snake on a plane.
It’s just one snake and Samuel L. Jackson stomps it to death in 2 min. The end.
“I have had it with this motherfucking snake on this motherfucking plane”
Don’t you mean Monday to Friday snake?

Lotr: the two tower.
Something about a tower shaped like a two?
LOTR: the one tower
All the stuff about Isengard is cut. The movie is ruined.
Lord of the Ring
There is just one ring. The main story is basically the same.
Starring The Count from Sesame Street.
1 fast 1 furious
1 Angry Man
They actually made this movie, but called it Falling Down.
Great movie.
Am I the bad guy?
Decent 90s action schlock title.
A League of Her Own.
Just 90 minutes of Geena Davis playing baseball by herself. Tom Hanks bullies her the whole time.
