So here I was living through the Long Dark Teatime of the Soul - when Removies popped into the mind. What are Removies, you ask? Simple - pick a film title, remove one letter, make up a caption for the new title. So.. here goes:
- Wall (from Wall-E) - a docudrama about the reunification of Germany
- Cap Fear - a terrifying tale about the truth behind Bodmin's (bonus points for Ukridge and Wodehouse)
- SumDog Millionaire - a canine with wicked math skillz brings untold riches to his master.
- U Forgiven (from Unforgiven) - a man commits a heinous crime and his victim texts him to say that everything is cool.
- Mad Ma (from Mad Max) - pissed off ex-suburban mom drives a muscle car in post apocalyptic Australia (largely indistinguishable from Australia)
- Raveheart - all this rebellious Scottish youngster wants to do is party!
- Fat Five - Enid Blyton's Famous Five finally get a big screen adaptation, except that they move to the States and subsist on a diet of burgers and soda - with sad, but predictable results, proving yet again that the colonies know shite all about running their own affairs.
- Dawn of the DEA - when the cartels had too much power, the Man sent in the Feds!
- The Princess Ride - this one, unfortunately is not for minors.
- Carface - Chris Bangle makes a movie.
- Kill ill - a documentary crew accompanies the brave people of Doctors without Borders on a humanitarian mission.
- Oodfellas - Doctor Who must stop an interplanetary crime syndicate.
- Even Samurai - a meditation on how much it sucked to not be rich and powerful in feudal Japan. Often compared to Kurosawa's 'Seven Samurai'.
- Rear Widow - NC17, enough said.
- Toy Tory - action figure of a British Conservative Prime Minister rounds up the other toys, imposes a poll tax and attacks Argentina.
- Rainspotting - a NatGeo documentary about some wishful people living in the Kalahari.
- Transformer - a PSA about power thievery by ConEd.
- Transformers2: Revenge of the Allen - when octagonal screwdrivers attack!
- Transformers3: The Dark Side of the Moo - a documentary about the fast food industry.
- The Evil DEA - this time the cartels make a movie.
- Spider Ma! - a kid has arachnophobia.
