Wall-E Street

Wall street execs have become fat and bloated, so overstuffed from greed and avarice that they need to have a cute little anamorphic robot show them how wrong they are and that a little humility, love and a bit of hard work can make everything all better.

"Just when you think you're out,...they drag you back in...."

So I love this thread so much I have to post to Barbelith a few more times. Initially I was toying with "Deaf in Venice" but couldn't make it work so I give you...

24 hour party people vs Larry Flynt

This movie's got it all: From his humble beginnings selling moonshine in Manchester, to his multi-million dollar soft porn publishing and music empire, Tony Wilson's story is a wild ride. Along the way he starts Factory records and Hustler magazine,gets shot and paralysed, discovers Joy Division, gets imprisoned, gets on one with the Mondays and gets taken to court thanks to his nemesis Jerry Falwell. Phew.

The Forty Year Old Virgin Suicides.

Steve Carell has to make them seem as if they were accidents. Nothing to do with him.

A frank, brave, study of sexual alienation.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court

Its laughter will ring through the centuries!

A bump on the head sends Hank Martin, 1912 Yankee mechanic, to Middle Earth, where he is befriended by Gandalf and gains power by judicious use of technology. He falls in love at first sight, but draws unwelcome attention from her fiancée after trying to summon the Army of the Dead; but worse trouble befalls when Hank meddles in the Kingdom's politics.

The epic climax of a nine hour trilogy of Hank's charming medieval capers.

One year gone since this thread last rose from the dead, but as I enjoy writing these things so much I decided to take it to the next level. Look on my works ye mighty and despair! The Movie Mash-up Game webpage is up and running. I have started the ball rolling with 3 of my old works from this thread, so I invite anyone to add theirs to the website. They will be voted up and down by visitors in a frenzy of cinematic comedy competitiveness.

Done:

Good Will Manhunter
A moving story of two best friends from Boston, one of whom is a mathematical genius cum renegade janitor, one of whom is a hare-lipped serial killer. Can Matt Damon get twinkly-eyed mentor Hannibal Lecter (Robin Williams, probably) to like his apples before the Tooth Fairy gets to work on Minnie Driver's panoramic grin?

(Contains scenes of extreme algebra and mild cannibalism).

Cheers Whisky P. I moved it from the comments there into the actual module where people can vote them up and down. Anybody else going to add theirs? Feel free to copy and paste your own from this thread. That's what I did with the first 3 of mine. Let the fading lifeblood of Barbelith feed other webpages.

Up The Road (prequel to "A Boy and his Talking Dog")

A young Boy meets up with a Man in a flying house and a talking Dog in a post apocalyptic world. The Man adopts the Boy and they both learn about the meaning of hope, enforcing their will to survive while trying to avoid desperate cannibals.

Up The Road shows a lighter, more tender side of Boy (and Dog) as this film takes place before their own descent into madness and cannibalism.
