Our company went to see Harry Potter yesterday with families to celebrate a particularly nice deal closing. Great event, and wonderful to see everyone there. I have to say, though, that the movie bored me to tears. However, it did allow me to come up with another “three line summary” for a big-ticket film. I’ve added my other two as well, so they can live in infamy on this site.
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 1
Oddly-attired British person stares meaningfully at another oddly-attired British person.
Pointy sticks aimed at each other emit lightning bolts.
Running and debris flying.
… repeat …
Lord of the Rings Trilogy
Slowly panning scenic vista from New Zealand.
Picture of an elf.
Battle with orcs.
… repeat …
Titanic
Room on ship fills with water.
Run and/or swim to another room while screaming.
Tearful hug.
… repeat …
(BTW, I have never actually seen the film, Titanic, but from all reports, my summary captures it well. Teresa and I are proud to be members of a very select group of people who have never seen Titanic or an episode of American Idol.)
Add me to that august group.
