Meme nicked from munkymp3 <3
Pick 20 movies/anime/video games/literary works/etc. and put their summaries from Better Than It Sounds and WITHOUT CHEATING have your friends guess. Oh, and for me, one Worse Than It Sounds and a lot of "WHAT, why does Love Actually not have a summary?"
Video Games
1) Defeat the Sealed Evil In A Can so you can jam sharp glass into your face
2) Everyone is an immigrant and spends their time forcefully displacing the natives. The local government is powerless to stop it since the immigrants will just come back in greater numbers.
3) A group of people are at the complete, utter mercy of a whimsical and cruel god who alternates between deleting their toilets and trapping them inside the very walls of their own homes. The Sims, guessed by munkymp3
Books
4) A squadron of insane soldiers try to not die in the war. Paradoxical bureaucracy gets in the way of that.
5) A boy finds a really cool book and learns from it. This turns out to be very bad.
6) Years after an eccentric philanthropist goes missing, it is learned that his most prized possession must be destroyed. Lord of the rings, guessed by munkymp3
7) Four siblings wonder where they are and then must prove their identities to someone who was looking for them even though he didn't believe they were real. Jesus helps Bacchus destroy a bridge that is confining a river god. Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian, guessed by munkymp3
8) God appears as a decrepit tortoise to a halfwit with perfect memory.
9) A girl learns philosophy from a book about a girl learning philosophy to escape a book about philosophy being read by the original girl, who as the reader knows, is also a character in a book about philosophy.
TV Shows
10) A soap opera wrapped in High School Musical- but it works. Glee, guessed by munkymp3
11) Based on a series of best-selling novels, six well-to-do young adults explore their own sexualities and social lives in a manner reminiscent of F. Scott Fitzgerald's novel The Great Gatsby (and some of his short stories), as they find that they cannot buy happiness, try though they might. Gossip Girl, guessed by munkymp3
12) A reporter rides in a jeep with a severely dysfunctional family to chronicle their adventurous road-trip. Oh, and ambushes.
13) A bumbling manservant uses non-specified superpowers to protect his unwitting and unappreciative master while taking advice from a dragon that basically speaks in subtext (and ships them). Corny CGI ensues. Merlin, guessed by munkymp3
14) A man tells his bored teenaged children stories about himself when he was younger. Evidently there's nothing good on TV in the future. How I Met Your Mother, guessed by munkymp3
Movies
15) A guy and his best friend bond over practical jokes and extreme sports. They conflict over a Love Triangle. Girl uses cancer to get the attention of her Love Interest.
16) Religiously obsessed diarist fabricates convoluted domino-effect murder/suicide.
17) A farm hand becomes a pirate and his girlfriend becomes a princess and then he kidnaps her and dies. Then, with the help of a hungover fencer and a stupid giant, he kidnaps her again after coming back to life. Whilst all this is going on, a grandfather tells his grandson a story. The Princess Bride, guessed by munkymp3
18) The four siblings learn that the Doctor was correct and that time really is just a big ball of wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey stuff. They save the day again, and manage not to miss the school bus. The Chronicles of Narnia, Prince Caspian, guessed by munkymp3
19) A Chinese teen becomes a transvestite and runs away from home for unselfish reasons.
20) A couple of hitmen discuss everything from hamburgers to theology. One retires, the other dies, and their boss is anally raped.
