Don't you see the family resemblance?
So my team lost in the first round of the playoffs, which sucks, but at least they lost to my second-favourite team? I still have someone to cheer for, is what I'm saying.
This seems like a fun meme, so...Stolen from lyo: Pick 20 movies/anime/video games/comic books/literary works/musicals/TV shows/etc. and put their summaries from Better Than It Sounds and WITHOUT CHEATING have your friends guess.
1. The only guy in town and his monkey are dragged all the way around the world by a cloning expert and a secret agent so secret she doesn't have a name.
2. A bunch of people abducted from random points in time come back all at once in modern day Seattle... WITH SUPER POWERS.
3. Nine people look out into the blackness of space and see nine different things.
4. Laser tag is Serious Business, Real Time Strategy games even more so.
5. A man beats himself up. Lots of people think this is a good idea.
6. A struggling Shakespearean theatre company is reinvigorated with the help of a director who suffered a nervous breakdown, and the bisexual ghost only he can see.
7. Undermotivated British teenagers do drugs and run up their cell phone bills.
8. Some kids go through worlds, kill God accidentally and discover they don't need Him in first place. And there's loads and loads of talking animals! Technically speaking.
9. Concerned citizens protest government legislation. Things go out of hand. Youtube and My Space are somehow involved.
10. This was described in some TV listings which took brevity too far: "A farmboy seeks his destiny."
11. People stuck in a place where weird things happen and no one has any idea what's happening. Not even the producers. Also features a soap opera set in East Asia.
12. A soap opera wrapped in High School Musical- but it works.
13. A Massive Multiplayer Crossover featuring characters from Fairy Tales and folklore, who are forced out of their homelands by a ruthless dictator and take refuge in New York City.
14. A widowed surgeon imprisons his daughter. The dead wife's ex-boyfriend tries to break the daughter out. Daughter befriends a drug dealer. Everybody sings.
15. Two disgraced angels try to exploit a loophole in Catholicism to kill God and destroy the universe, and it's up to an abortion clinic worker, two stoners, a stripper, and the 13th Apostle to stop them. And there's a monster made out of crap.
16. An anti-social teenager sees visions of an anthropomorphic rabbit, has a jet engine crash into his room, and has one month to prevent the end of the world... which he is the cause of.
17. Car salesman can't convince his employer that his paperwork is finished, also fails to upsell a promotional extra to his customers. Grumpy Old Man shits on everyone beneath him, refuses to help his daughter in an important financial transaction. A pregnant sheriff tries to work out who the main character is in the movie.
18. Smartass kid neglects his education, shamelessly manipulates the sympathy of his parents and those around him and, for his own self-gratification, triggers a series of events that results in the destruction of his best friend's father's priceless car. Without remorse. Despite this, everyone loves him.
19. Police officer ruins village inspection.
20. A boy keeps a big tin can in his family barn. They become best buddies.
In other news, I am writing again! I have one SH fic to finish, and then two figure skating fics planned with other people (alex_boylove), and then possibly a sequel to that figure skating fic I posted a week ago. Maybe. This fandom has totally consumed my brain.
