Meme time!

I found this on thats_my_rule 's page and thought it looked interesting.  Here goes.

Pick 20 movies/anime/video games/literary works and put their summaries from better than it sounds and WITHOUT CHEATING have your friends guess.

1. Troublemaking kid takes up old man's creepy cosplay fetish to get revenge on a Corrupt Corporate Executive that glows in the dark. The old man likes to watch. fullmetal_cute 
2. Amnesiac from Canada travels the world, admires the sights and sounds, and has a drink with his Cajun friend every once in a while.fullmetal_cute 
3. Lots of children get sick, and join a cat-eyed cult led by three brothers, whose mother is a head in a box. One brother eventually grows up to become their father, only to get beaten up in a spectacular fashion. Meanwhile, a man sees dead people, thinks about deep things, and fights lots (often doing all three at the same time). fullmetal_cute 
4. A  Tall Dark And Snarky man and his Frankensteinian creation charge astronomical sums of money to cut people open. fullmetal_cute 
5. A man injured on the job gets no worker's compensation, so he decides to shoot up the place with an immigrant friend. (HINT: Academy Award nominated movie from last year)fullmetal_cute
   
6. A Vietnam vet gets upset when his family's picnic is ruined. fullmetal_cute
   
7. Freak lab accident causes a teenage boy to become not quite undead. This leads him to fight crime caused by dead people alongside his two best friends and, eventually, his older sister. Also, the Big Bad wants to bang the hero's mom. fullmetal_cute
   
8. An old woman breaks into a con man's house. Romance ensues.fullmetal_cute / thats_my_rule

17. Terrorist takes over the world with mind control. Pizza is involved. OR Convoluted Love Dodecahedron develops between British teenagers attending high school in Japan; the fate of the world hangs in the balance. (HINT: Popular anime from the last five years)fullmetal_cute
18. A charming young soldier meets some interesting people, then gets killed by his employer.  Or...Gackt recites bad poetry while all hell breaks loose. (HINT: Video game spin-off) zeffy_amethyst

21. Ex-cop spends the night in a cheap hotel counting the number of apples in paintings. If he thinks fast he can use a vending machine. vampirenaomi 

 

Bonus: A private eye, a goverment agent, a high school student and a tiny winged creature. Together, they fight demons! The private eye's ex wants him back.

        I will be shocked and will love anyone who gets this without cheating.

EDIT: I just realized 1 & 2 were smooshed together, so I technically have 21.  I'm too lazy to fix it, so I have 21.  Deal. :P

EDIT 2: I added another version of 17 to maybe help you get that.  It's the only one left besides the bonus.

o.o Damn.

13 is wrong, but the rest are right.

[fullmetal-cute.livejournal.com]

Still, not bad all and all. *grin* Soon all shall fear my geeky might.

[red_confession.livejournal.com]

lol. We have very similar interests if you know most of those. Most of those are my favs (exceptions: FFVII:AC, Punisher, Love Hina--I just thought those were funny).

[fullmetal-cute.livejournal.com]

Watched Advent Children mostly because that was what my friend was watching when I went over to her place one time. I'm oddly unimpressed with FFVII in general (though I harbor a perverse lust for Vincent Valentine). But I will admit to having once been a fan of both The Punisher (Garth Ennis' Welcome Back Frank arc is what I pull out to remind myself that Ennis doesn't always suck) and Love Hina.

[red_confession.livejournal.com]

I like VII, and I buy all the VII related stuff, but I'm not the biggest fan of the movie (oh yes, Vinny is hot). It's a ton of fun to have good friends mock it through as you watch it. The Punisher's never been my cup of tea (though I did enjoy "the Punisher kills the marvel universe") and I like Love Hina, but I'm not "OMG Love hina" about it.

And to save comment space, yes, to both.

[fullmetal-cute.livejournal.com]

Also, I figured out what 8 was, finally.

Howl's Moving Castle.

Also, 16 is the first X-Men movie.

[vampirenaomi.livejournal.com]

9: Golden Sun

Yeah, I suck. XD fullmetal_cute already got most of the ones I know.

[red_confession.livejournal.com]

You're right. No worries, half of them were guessed already anyway :)

[vampirenaomi.livejournal.com]

Does it count if I discovered one by accident when I went to do this meme myself? Turns out I know it, but the description didn't ring a bell. XD

[red_confession.livejournal.com]

Go ahead, I don't mind :P

[vampirenaomi.livejournal.com]

In that case, 21 is Hotel Dusk. :3

[red_confession.livejournal.com]

yup. It really, sadly, is the plot to the game...

[cjspooks.livejournal.com]

13) Power Rangers: Ninja Storm! Yay! (And he's a guinea pig, not a hamster)

[red_confession.livejournal.com]

Correct, my lovely roomie.

[fullmetal-cute.livejournal.com]

Ah, THAT goes a long way towards explaining why I didn't get it.

*puts on her 'Original Flavor Power Rangers FOREVER' hat and wanders off*

[red_confession.livejournal.com]

We (being myself and cjspooks), are big fans of the original, but we also like SPD and Ninja Storm. 13 was mainly for her :)

[thats-my-rule.livejournal.com]

I only recognize one of the remaining ones... I'm pretty sure 8 is Howl's Moving Castle.

[red_confession.livejournal.com]

that's correct :)

[fullmetal-cute.livejournal.com]

#5: District 9?

[red_confession.livejournal.com]

Yup.

[zeffy-amethyst.livejournal.com]

18. Crisis Core? Or whatever that game was with Zack and Cloud pre-Jenova.

[red_confession.livejournal.com]

Yes!

[zeffy-amethyst.livejournal.com]

It was the mention of Gackt that did me in. I only know of one gaming franchise he's been involved in.

[red_confession.livejournal.com]

Technically Genesis/Gackt was in Dirge of Cerberus too.

[fullmetal-cute.livejournal.com]

17: Code Geass?

[red_confession.livejournal.com]

Yes.
