It’s been over a year since I retired my regular feature It’s all Greek to me Sunday so I thought it was about time I whipped it out again and slapped it back down on the table.
Here’s how it works. I’ve taken a short film synopsis from the listings page of a TV guide and fed it into Bable Fish, an online translating service. I then translated the synopsis from English into Greek, and then from Greek back into English. The resulting gobbledygook is posted below. Your task is to try and identify what movie the passage refers to.
Here goes:
With base [author] short history [title], [title] it says the history [character], a writer that looks at behind in his own days when they went to their adventure they find this and three narrow friends the body of child their age that it had it goes is absent and had considered dead. Are the stakes when they a lot watch the bad children in the city – and become does a does race in order to see who’ll it is in position it recovers the body first.
So first to identify the correct movie here in the comments wins the respect and admiration of their peers.
The last winner of the contest all the way back in April 2008 was the lovely Tracy from Whim. Unfortunately Tracy abandoned blogging shortly after her win. Some may claim that it was the shame of being exposed as a reader of All That Comes with it that did it, but I deny that rumor. Instead I think it’s only necessary to look just a few posts down her blog to see what was the real culprit: her abject disappointment at the crapness of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
I feel your pain sister, I feel your pain.

I thought I’d been spending a little too much time on the internet lately, when clearly the opposite is true!
Next week, I shall pounce like a tiger.
