just for fun - rewrite the description of a movie

[Calliegirl]

I saw this picture and thought this would be fun to do. Rewrite the blurb for a movie, TV show or series from a completely different angle than the original.

Willy Wonka: A strange old man uses candy to lure children to his home.

Snow White: A young princess moves in with seven men in a cabin in the woods, and is later poisoned by a jealous rival.

The 70's Show: A group of teenagers spend their time smoking pot and finding ways to obtain alcohol.

 

[Second Summer]

The X Files: A tragic series about two FBI agents, Mr Mulder and Ms Scully, both single and of appropriate ages, who go on terrifying adventures together, fighting space aliens and monsters. Unfortunately, Mulder is too insecure to make a pass at Scully, and instead is wasting time watching pornography. Disappointed, Scully seeks the company of a space alien, which results in an unplanned pregnancy. Her Christian faith prevents her from getting an abortion, and she's removed from the series before it gets completely ridiculous.

In one episode of Bones (The Woman at the Airport), Dr. Temperance Brennan is in Los Angeles and she's being interviewed alongside Penny Marshall. She's asked which of the movies Penny Marshall directed she enjoyed, and Brennan says, "I particularly liked her exploration of the space-time paradox," Penny and the interviewer think for a second, and then simultaneously say "Big".

It's a real creative challenge for me, actually, but I'll give it a go:

Bewitched: A young witch inexplicably falls under the spell of a mortal man who marries her and for many years forces her to perform drudgery in his house without the use of any kind of witchcraft, poisoning her mind against her concerned relatives who visit often in many failed attempts to rescue her, remind her of her proud witch heritage, and bring her back into the bosom of her loving family.

Star Trek: Human barbarians from the planet Earth go rampaging around the galaxy, killing peaceful creatures they don't like, forcing others to change their ways to their own particular liking, stealing precious resources for their own use, and fleeing with a large number of stolen Tribbles on board their ship.

Yellow Submarine: Four musicians from Liverpool drop acid and hallucinate about living in a yellow submarine and meeting a creature called a Blue Meanie who terrorizes a military man named Sgt. Pepper.

Smokey and the Bandit: A sheriff from Texas chases two criminals through the South when they kidnap his son's fiancee.

Those were really good, much more creative than mine.
