Posterous theme by Cory Watilo

The movies that almost were

One of the top trending topics on Twitter at the moment is #oneletteroffmovies, where you replace / switch / add one letter of a movie title, tweet your new film, and hilarity ensues.

Some of my faves: Mortal Wombat, Homey I Shrunk the Kids, Dial Q for Murder, Pilates of the Caribbean, Jews.

Some of the worst: The Dark Night, Kool Hand Luke, The Hungover. Way to use a homonym, spell like a 5th grader, and use an adjective as a noun. Right.

This was pretty much the only thing I was thinking about while taking a shower today, and here are some of my surefire box-office hits, crossing all genres:

– Russell Crowe catches a train downtown, but will he make it to the bakery before it closes? Find out in 3:10 to Yums (ACTION)
– Takes place 30 yrs after the original, follows really really good looking male models as they struggle with retirement: Poolander (DOCUMENTARY)
– The Mayans forget to account for the leap year, crazy end-of-the-world hijinks delayed in: 2013 (COMEDY)
– Tyler Perry presents another awesome movie that everyone will watch: Minority Resort (NO ONE WILL ACTUALLY WATCH THIS)
– Medical drama at its finest; these CAT scans go to 11 in Spinal Map (DRAMA)

Pure cinema gold. If you're honest with yourself, you know you'd rather watch 3:10 to Yums than Transformers 2.

Of my own submissions, I was most proud of:

- Where the Wild Thongs Are

and

- The Bad News Beard

I'd say the overall best I saw were "Doug: Store Cowboy" and, of course, "The Men Who Stare at Goatse." Gen-ius.

I think I'd rather not be one of the men who stared at goatse, but that's just me.
