‘It’s all Greek to me” Sunday

Here’s how it works. I’ve taken a short film synopsis from imdb.com 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.

A very easy one this week, but to be fair I couldn’t really have chosen anything else

A new tomboy, [character], finds her sentiment for better friend, [character], runs deep from precisely friendship when this takes date with more very popular girl school. Unfortunately, girl the old friends, that is from the rich department of city, is incompetent to abandon her, and it programs it returns in [character].

The winner of last times contest was Dwayne. Dwayne is another person who’s website is more like a ghost ship than a blog. no doubt he’s been too busy watching Are You Being served and thinking about Mrs Slocombe’s pussy. The dirty, dirty boy.

    I have no clue whatsoever. It sounds like something that supermum wouldn’t let me watch.

    Some how I know what it is which is kind of wonderful but I feel like I’m not allowed to play being married to Mr HUGHES and might get accused of insider trading

    Oh! I see! It’s something by John Hughes. OK, I give up. Though the original version of Pretty In Pink was great before the Psychedelic Furs recut it for the soundtrack of some film or other.

    This is easy. All you have to do it retranslate it back to Greek, then Chinese and finally back to English again. It spit out the answer right away. The movie you’re referring to is Dirty Harry.
