Pick 20 movies/anime/video games/comic books/literary works/TV shows and put their summaries from Better than it Sounds and WITHOUT CHEATING have your friends guess.

( I snuck some video games and stage productions in there, just to spice things up. )

7: lol Fruits Basket
9: I feel like I've heard of this one. Princess Princess?
15: LOLOLOL OH MERLIN
16. ...Supernatural? What?
18. YAY AVENUE Q

There are some others I could guess but other people probably know for sure. And I have no idea about 20 but I am now very curious. D:

You got them all right! :D

And 20 is Cat On A Hot Tin Roof. I highly recommend the 1958 Elizabeth Taylor/Paul Newman film version, unless you can find a stage production. It's one of my favourite plays, ever.

And 2 is The Historian (which I just started reading last night, ahaha)! \o/

FUCK YEAH TOKYO BABYLON! Back when CLAMP was properly dark and all their stories contained gorgeous twists and hot, hot evil. (*ahem* Yeah, all of those guesses are correct. :D)

I could watch the Seishirou/Subaru self-destructive downard spiral of sexy doom for the rest of forever
Yes, please! God, that makes me want to dig out all my old X manga... They were definitely the best part! (Kamui is way behind Subaru for the angsty uke of the decade award.) That was one thing that really pissed me off about the movie: Seishirou and Subaru are killed off without even getting an introduction!

This is so much fun. But I can only maybe guess a few-
3= Anna Karenina?
17= Star Wars?
And 15 is obviously Merlin :)

fresica April 28 2010, 18:09:49 UTC

Actually, number three isn't Anna Karenina, though it almost could be, huh...? (It's The Scarlet Letter, which is one of my all-time favourite books.) And I hadn't realised the similarities between #17 and Star Wars til I looked on this site, but 17 is really Final Fantasy XII. :D Of course 15 is Merlin! 'Bumbling manservant' gives it away a bit, doesn't it?

shiny_starlight April 25 2010, 15:04:45 UTC

This looks like fun!!

Ok,

9) Sorority Boys?
12) Being Human?
13) Wouldn'y br Borat or something, would it?
15) MERLIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
16) Mmmmm. Supernatural....
17) STAR WARS FOREVER OK?
18) Avenue Q or something?
20) Equilibrium?

fresica April 28 2010, 18:15:23 UTC

You got four of them! 12 is Being Human; 15 is - obviously! - Merlin; 16 is Supernatural (it was the 80s rock and great car that gave it away, right?); and 18 is Avenue Q. 9 was actually Princess Princess, an anime about an all-boys private school where the prettiest underclassmen are dressed up to act as cheerleaders for the various school clubs and sports teams. 13 is The Colbert Report with Stephen Colbert, which I will always, ALWAYS find hilarious. 17 is Final Fantasy XII, though I do agree with your statement because STAR WARS OWNS THE FREAKING UNIVERSE, AMIRITE? And 20 is actually Cat On A Hot Tin Roof, which you MUST read/see, if you haven't yet! Look up the 1958 film with Elizabeth Taylor and Paul Newman.
