...With a Chainsaw
I recently
saw a post on Facebook asking you to mention the last ten book you have read
and then add “with a Chainsaw” to the title. Silly, but the thought kept me
awake for a large chunk of the night. What if I did that to the last ten movies
I have watched?
Let’s see:
1.
Some Came Running with a Chainsaw
Uh, I want
to see that one!
2.
My Uncle with a Chainsaw
Suddenly he
is not such a cozy uncle anymore
3.
Dracula with a Chainsaw
Now, there
is an idea for a Hollywood flat out of original ideas. Merging themes has
become come il faut lately and this beats the crap out of Superman vs Batman
4.
Ashes and Diamonds with a Chainsaw
Strange,
but not that funny
5.
Vertigo with a Chainsaw
This could
get really confusing. Sort of a random massacre
6.
The Music Room with a Chainsaw
Very
bizarre music! Or maybe the room is used for other things as well.
7.
The Defiant Ones with a Chainsaw
Not only
are they on the run, but they are armed!
8.
Cairo Station with a Chainsaw
Everybody
get out of there! The paperboy has gone completely bonkers!
9.
Gig with a Chainsaw
Now, there
is a musical with an edge!
10.
Touch of Evil with a Chainsaw
Hmmm… not
really working
And I will
just add an eleventh for good measure
11.
Man of the West with a Chainsaw
That could
work. A reinvention of the western
When you
think about it there are plenty of good titles in movie history that would work
and completely change the movie. Spartacus with a Chainsaw. The Dark Knight
with a Chainsaw. The Fabulous Amelie from Montmartre with a Chainsaw. The
Emperor Strike Back with a Chainsaw. Julia and Juliet with a Chainsaw. The
Devil Wears Prada with a Chainsaw. Or go a bit back in history with Swing Time
with a Chainsaw or Singing in the Rain with a Chainsaw. How about Citizen Kane
with a Chainsaw?
My favorite is the first. Who are the "some"? Zombies?
ReplyDeleteUnspecified. Zombies is a good suggestion. I sense a bit of panic in that title.
DeleteI think it's worth mentioning the movies I watched today with this addition. One works surprisingly well, one sounds like a home improvement movie, and the last is just odd.
ReplyDeleteBloody Birthday...with a Chainsaw
The Spiral Staircase...with a Chainsaw
45 Years...with a Chainsaw
Super gory! that is not a birthday you expect to survive.
DeleteActually that home impovement show sounds fun. I would watch it.
The life of a lumberjack. Could be dull.
My favorite recently viewed "chainsaw" film is: Farewell My Concubine with a Chainsaw (1993), followed closely by: Housekeeping with a Chainsaw(1987)
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome! I love Housekeeping with a Chainsaw.
