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.
I’m thinking about retiring “All Greek to me” Sunday for a while as I’m not too keen on having two regular weekly features running concurrently. This won’t be the last one however, but it may be the penultimate, so get your guesses in quick.
Made for least from the cost of SUV, the first film of [director] finds 22-years fast employee [character] of attitudes ([actor]) that is called in the work for the precious day far. There it is from the customers that oscillate from upset as insane, in order to we do not report in order to it reports [character] ([actor]), the employee from the television next door of shops. Actually, it was employees intelligent dialogue, that with reports popular-culture, what they raised the [film] in order to they strike the place between production – Xers and they converted the [director] from the school abandonment of films in auteur indie. (USA, 1994)
Last week’s winner was Craig. Which raises an unfortunate problem as his presence on the internet is rather limited to say the least. The best I can do is point you to our poker site which he hasn’t even updated since February of last year. The lazy bastard. He does however have his own Wikipedia page. However according to that it appears he died in an avalanche in 2003. I wonder if his girlfriend knows.

OK, so next week’s “It’s all Greek to me” Sunday is going to be the last one for quite a while. And it’s going to be a doozy. With prizes!
I spent all day at work today coming up with it (thank you tax payers of Britain).
