Dungeon Master Forum

A meme popped up on Twitter at the weekend: "One Letter Off Movies" -- you simply take a movie title and change one letter to make something funny. Most people simply posted the changed names, but I also tried to come up with a synopsis. In a fit of egomania, here's mine, perhaps you can add some of your own?

# Gay Anything - John Cusack as a horny teen tries it on with the football team

# House of Flying Gaggers - Tales of trapeze artists and their penchant for eating too much

# Man on Wife Documentary about a french guy and his obsession with sex on a tightrope

# The Day the Earth Caught Fine - Intergalactic traffic wardens slap a ticket on our lovely planet

# Entz - Animated movie all about Tolkien's tree guys

# Bean Streets #oneletteroffmovies

# The Misfats - A story of obesity in modern America

# Moonbaker - An improbable tale about a lunar bread maker who overcomes the problems of cooking in space

# Thunderbell - A fairytale about a small fairy with a big problem

# Goldenrye - Three short stories set on a grain farm in southern England

# Dr. Go - An evil villain eschews world domination in favour of a night in playing the ancient Chinese game

# You only Give Twice - Story about how charity mugging has disillusioned a generation about charity contributions

# Licence to Mill - A super secret agent infiltrates an evil gang's hideout dressed as a grain farmer

# Three Colours Bed - Tracy Emin re-stages her infamous sculpture in garish primary colours

# Three Colours Blur - Documentary about how to mix paint

# Shaun of the Mead - A world-wearly slacker becomes successful after resurrecting and commercialising medieval beer

# A Boom with a View - Simply about a poor mike boom who tried to get into movies but never quite made it

# Clarks - Story of two slacker sales staff in a popular British shoe shop

# Entz - Animated movie all about Tolkien's tree guys

I'd definitely go to see THIS one.

My excuse is that it's nearly 11:30pm and I really should be going to bed having only been in half an hour after a day of work and an evening of DnD .
