Uncertain Movies: The Meme That Ate My Brain

Yesterday, someone started a Twitter game called #uncertainmovies, in which people alter the titles of films to make them sound more vague or less definitive.  (Examples: “Some Like It Lukewarm” or “Split Decision at Nuremberg“.)  Since I’m both a film buff and a compulsive personality, this is the kind of meme that can simultaneously eat up my whole afternoon while alienating most of my followers, who become alarmed when I get too prolific.

Considering I came up with nearly 30 of these yesterday, followed by another 20 while I was out running errands, I figure it’s better to spare my followers the hassle and just post the ones I still find personally amusing here:

• The Mediocre Life Coach of Oz
• The Bourne Ultimatum… Unless You Want to Talk About It
• The Good, the Bad and the Ones With Great Personalities
• The Last of the Mohicans Who Bothered to Fill Out a Census
• Disinterestedly Seeking Susan While This File Uploads
• Any Given Sunday That We Aren’t Having Dinner at Your Mother’s
• Not In the Hallway, Lola, Not In the Hallway
• That Thing You Occasionally Do
• A River Runs Through It on Some Maps That Have Yet to Be Cached by Google
• It’s Not a Bad Life, Although “Wonderful” Might Be Pushing It
• Star Trek 2: The Heretofore Unseen Peevishness of Khan
• The Lion, the Witch & the Family Heirloom Most Likely to Be Undervalued on Antiques Roadshow
• The Greatest Story Ever Told, If You’re Into That Sort of Thing
• She’d Like to Have It But, Honestly, She’ll Take What She Can Get
• Yeller, Who’s Getting Up in Years But Still Has an Occasional Burst of Speed
• A Clockwork Fruit Genetically Engineered by Monsanto
• Gone with the Slight Breeze That’s Unavoidable Because the Fucking Yankees Burned the Whole Goddamn House Down
• Moderately Attractive Woman (If You Like Horses)
• Hang ‘Em High, But Not So High That Joe Can’t See ‘Em Because He Forgot His Glaucoma Medication
• Boyz N That Section of Town We Usually Try to Drive Around
• Willy Wonka and the Gluten-Free Carob Factory That Meets LEED Standards
• The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas That Doesn’t Involve Toll Roads
• Arthritic Tiger, Hidden Gecko

Ahem.

Now, here’s hoping I’m not gripped by another spurt of arbitrary inspiration until my real-life deadlines have passed.
