You'll notice that my "Overheard" Web log, which keeps an accounting of small interesting quotes and snippets I come across, has been featuring a number of movie pitch lines taken from this year's Variety-published guide to movies being sold at MIFED.
I did find one trend that was worth gathering together into one big post: That of Reese Peanut Butter Cup-like amalgams of ideas that really don't go so well together. Allow me to present....
These Don't Go Together
"Shadows of the Dead: A couple contracts a deadly disease [...] after their car breaks down in the woods."
"I Heart Huckabee's: An existential tale of love, philosophy and [...] Shania Twain."
"Annie the Nannie: A family's new English nanny turns out to be [...] an orangutan."
"Cornered: Three distant men are re-united [...] for an underground boxing match."
"Samhain: A disfigured mutant hunts [...] students on a class trip."
"Cosmic Rescue: Young men and woman live [...] on the moon."
"Les Daltons: Unsuccessful outlaw brothers steal [...] a magic sombrero that makes them invincible."
