As mentioned in the last post, my friend Kevin has started a cartoon which is much like 'Lost Consonants', above (which deletes a consonant from a regular phrase, then illustrates the result). 'Movie Misnomers' puns on film titles to give them a new theme, and I thought we could use this post to help him think up some more, given that so many of us like wordplay (like you, Justin).
Gavin suggested "Anemone Of The State - a small, innocent, many-tentacled sea creature is targeted by the American national security agency."
And I've thought up the following:
"The Codfather" - a Daddy fish tenderly cradles lots of baby fish
"Star Warts" - celebrities showcase their facial disfigurements
"Reservoir Logs" - workers struggle to build a dam before it's too late
"Singin' In The Train" a carriage full of commuters bursts into song
"Full Metal Packet" - the Chippendales decide to wear foil thongs
"The Green Smile" - because some people never go to the dentist
But you can do better than me...

Just when I'm supposed to be doing some proper work (two press releases and a newsletter article about nothing to write) you have to go and distract me...
I quite enjoyed "Dirty Lancing" - a documentary about poor hygiene in hospitals. And then of course there was, "The Sodfather", although that one, for obvious reasons, never got a release certificate.
Now, press releases..zzzzzz
This reminded me of this facebook group - I think there are probably some in there.
Road to pediatrician, one man's journey as he struggles to get someone to see his son's cough.
Good Seal Hunting, though this is more an instructional film....
And how could I forget, "Four Webdings and A Funeral"? You know, the one about a freelance web designer whose somewhat perfunctory effort for an important client doesn't go down too well.
PS. Love "The Road To Pediatrician" Josh.
Well, it wouldn't be right not to reprise 'Bake To The Future', one man's crusade to turn the world's flour supply into bread before it goes mouldy.
Then there's 'Manila Sky', in which the capital of the Philippines is invaded by owls from the Harry Potter stories, all carrying, you guessed it, manila envelopes.
And of course there's 'Pilots of the Caribbean', in which Johnny Depp and Orloomo Bland star as private jet aviators, flying pointlessly from one tropical paradise to another.
How about Boogie Knights - set in mediaeval times, the story of a young man's meteoric rise in the world of jousting due to the prodigious proportions of his lance.
And to celebrate the 10th anniversary of a classic:
"The Pig Lebowski" featuring an Eastern European hog, swigging White Russians and protecting its urine stained rug.
'Lawrence of a Labia' - A gynaecologist sets up a practice in challenging conditions.
'A Clockwork Door Hinge' - Wacky inventor Trevor Bayliss recounts some of his less successful ventures.
'Full Metal Jacket Potato' - A woman sues a roadside café after breaking her teeth.
'Trainspitting' - High impact greenies plague a lonely railway signalman.
'The Usual Pus Pets' - Lancing boils is no fun for a mobile vet in a small village.
Phil: Dirty Lancing made me lancelot. Er, I mean, laugh a lot.
Hattie: You'll be amazed to learn that I'm a member of that very group! Wonders never...
Josh: Road To Paediatrician is excellent (have you seen Road To Perdition by the way? We should watch it).
Phil: I love it, now I've found out what a webding is.
Justin: You are the punmeister, king of puns, big pun. Usurper!
Gavin: Boogie Knights sounds similar to Bogie Nights, in which a man with a cold sneezes all over his wife while sleeping.
Thom: The Pig Lebowski is fantastic.
Graham: I'm not sure I can look you in the face any more after Lawrence of a Labia. But I'll forgive you because of The Usual Pus Pets.
Yes, I have seen Road To Perdition several times, though out of all the times I've seen it, I've only managed to finish it once!
The Dark Night, in which Batman forgets to pay the electricity bill.
Borassic Park, where unemployed dinosaurs go to relax and play frisbee.
I Am Leg End, about a man that thinks he's an ankle.
Trans Formers, a documentary about retired cross dressers.
Moon Raker, the story of a gardener that prefers the night shift.
I really can't believe I just did this.
Ape Fear, where people are running scared of monkeys like me.
Both mine are to do with noise for a reason I don't understand.
Look Who's Squawking... a parrot's vocal cord operation is a success.
Silence Of The Prams... a town cottons on to the benefits of dummies.
Josh: Did you finish it the first time, then start watching it again and think, "Nah, I know what happens!"?
John: Very much like The Dark Night. Though Batman should really avail of some candles.
Duohedron: Surprisingly good. For a monkey.
Slurper: I like both of those.
After all this, my friend Kevin has no excuse not to produce more cartoons immediately.
I think it was the 3rd time I watched it that I was able to get to the end, a great film, would love to watch it again.
Did you ever see When Hairy Met Silly? It's an endearing love story with an ape and a clown....
Ewe've Got Mail - The touching story of two 'mail-carrier sheep' who fall in love.
There's Something About Maury - Gross-out comedy where the American chat-show host's the object of everyone's affections.
The Bone Connector - Detectives work against time to try and find a mysterious maverick non-NHS orthopedist.
Eternal Sunshine of The Spotless Rind - A man must try and decide whether or not he wants to remember how to prepare the perfect bacon rind.
Curl, Interrupted - Angelina Jolie makes waves as she explores the boundaries between 'curly' and 'straight'.
(Mine are rubbish... sorry! Haha :-P)
