Memery
Pick 10 movies/video games/literary works/TV shows/music and put their summaries from Better Than It Sounds (TVTropes). Without cheating, have your friends guess.
1. Heiress attempts to woo paleontologist with use of leopard. Complications ensue. Bringing up Baby, from angelic_ink
2. A blonde high-school age female solves a crime every episode with the help of her African-American male friend, trusty dog, and protective father while she struggles to fit into the high school social scene. (Hint: it's not Nancy Drew) Veronica Mars, from unicornflautist
3. A mustachioed Bad Ass and his crew release giant dinosaur he once imprisoned to stop the invasion of leather wearing aliens by beating the shit out of all the monsters they control. Godzilla: Final Wars, from unicornflautist
4. In the grand finale, a girl is kidnapped, but the boy decides that's too easy and rescues seven. Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, from unicornflautist
5. Magicians who work for the British government regulate magic, travel to parallel universes, and die. A lot.
6. Woman's investigation of a possibly-imagined Ancient Conspiracy leads her to examine the history of the Holy Roman Empire's postal service. The Crying of Lot 49, from ellgato
7. A Japanese High School class has to fight to the death, or their heads will explode. Battle Royale, from babbled
8. Ridiculously human robot girls contemplating their robotic navels in front of scenery porn.
9. A widowed man tries to redeem a corrupt organization, but his father won't have it; meanwhile, his brother is breaking his heart and his sister is having marital problems. It's a comedy.
10. A magical wolf paints her way to victory. Okami, from angelic_ink
The problem with me is that I like weird, obscure things. So there aren't entries for a lot of my favorite things... and they actually are better than they sound (to me at least). So the jokey part doesn't really work, and half of these are just identifying the description... yeah.
A good movie, but not my favorite; nonetheless, going through the TvTropes entries probably the best one was for Blow-Up. Pics or it didn't happen.
In other news, I have a job interview for working as an attendant on the Victoria Clipper on Wednesday. There's a pretty major job fair I'm planning on going to right afterward. And so now of of course course I'm coming down with a cold...
