A TVtropes-related meme! Taken from windexneenja.

Pick 20 movies/anime/video games/comic books/literary works/television series/musicians and post their summaries from the TVtropes Better Than It Sounds page. Make your flist guess the fandom!

(I have edited one or two a tiny bit for clarity and hilarity.)

Yep, to all of the ones you've got. :D

You are right! I love that 3 could be either of those. It was actually Hot Fuzz. (I have still never actually seen The Wicker Man.)

[opportunemoment]

BUUUUUUURNEM.

Also, what understanding of the plot of the Wicker Man I haven't picked up from cultural osmosis I got from The Muppet Wicker Man. Which was properly quite disturbing.

7. Mirrormask
10. HMS Pinafore
13. Temeraire
16. American Beauty?

[opportunemoment]

Yes, yes, yes and no! (In that order.) Although I can totally see how that could be American Beauty. And to be fair there's a pretty large plot point from the film that isn't in that summary...

5. The D&D cartoon!

I was initially thrown by the lack of reference to uni.

[opportunemoment]

I can see where you'd get that, but no - oxfordgirl has guessed that one right if you want to look. It's kind of absurdly obscure if you've never seen it though. Mwahahahaha.

Correctamundo! I thought you'd probably get Velvet Goldmine :P

And yeah, that's Queen. There is a whole page of descriptions like this for bands and musicians - Queen were the one I'd heard of that was also an interesting story.
