Here’s how it works. I’ve take a short film synopsis 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 and your task is to try and identify what movie the passage refers to.
A particularly easy one this week I think:
Madman realises a slaughter in a club, after it hears popular DJ [character]. Disheartened from the compunction, the DJ strikes above a friendship with the former-professor that became impostor because the violent death wife’s (it was killed from madman). The [character] decides him it helps and that searches non-existent holy grail and that conquers the [character], the girl that felt in the love with. (USA, 1991)
The mighty Greg won last time. Which I’m rather pleased about as it gives me the opportunity to point you in the direction of his most recent movie masterpiece. Not only does it have a soundtrack that was written and performed by yours truly, but I also have a starring cameo in it. Check it out, you won’t regret it.
Is it the Fisher King? Jeff Bridges and Robin Williams.
See? I’m here earlier and still too late! I loved that film… sigh.

Should I be worried that, as a film fan, I NEVER come close to getting any of these. I think I must have some kind of condition…

I had no clue once again. I’m not very good at this. At least I didn’t embarrass myself again by being the first to comment.
I’ve never seen Fisher King, so if that’s correct, I’d never get it. If that’s not correct, I have no idea!

Is it ‘The Life and Times of Grizzly Adams’? ;-)
Suddenly I have a craving for chives.
I don’t know the backstory to the Chives video, but you’ve done a very nice job with the soundtrack.
That’s quite a lot of chives growing out of your head. But then again that’s quite a lot of head from which to grow them from.
Hey, fair is fair.

What do I win? What do I win?
I really should try and log on on a Sunday and try to win this for once.
This film is an absolute classic.

Oli - Sorry for the delay, I forgot I hadn’t replied. Correct!
Bec - I admire your integrity. I offered you the opportunity to cheat the other week and told you exactly when I would be posting and you declined to enter.
Xbox4NappyRash - I think it requires a certain type of brain
Jason - I think Oli never knows the answer either, he just states random films. He just got lucky this time.
Avitable - You should see it, it’s an excellent film.
Morticia - Something tells me you do not take this game very seriously.
Phil - Well I’m not giving you any of mine.
Jeff - The whole backstory to the chive thing would be such an anticlimax that I’m just going to leave it a mystery.
Oli - Nowt.
Rol - It’s a fantastic film, and has many truly beautiful moments. We went to grand central station when we were in new york and i got shivers up my spine.
