I was going to make my first official moderation duty locking this thread, but if people are still enjoying it, I guess I'll let it sit.
There is nothing hard about reading what happened in a movie and then saying the name of it.

More importantly than that there is nothing ENTERTAINING about it.

You're still only posting plot synopses. YOU'RE MISSING THE POINT.

No guesses?
Wristcutters? If so, yeah, pretty neat movie. :)
So, trying to describe a movie's plot without actually stating the plot. Okay... How's this?
An orange-garbed teenager attempts to drive away from a terrorist ambush, and by doing so, he winds up in a situation that begins to change his life. Only by teaming up with a recently-diseased older friend can he preserve his well-being. (Auramaster got it.)
Jumanji?
Anyways, Wristcutters: a love story is correct! Hooray for not being the only guy on Smogon who knows that movie exists! -parties hard-
Back to the Future. Disguise it as best you can, so anything that would be obvious to someone who's seen the movie (orange-garbed teenager, self-aware piece of jewelry, etc.) should be replaced with something less obvious (guitar player, metal weapon, etc.) and the ideal result is that anyone who's seen the movie still has to think about it for a while before figuring it out.RedMeowth said:
