This Weekend, Watch This
|
The Fighter | Tron Legacy | How Do You Know | Yogi Bear | WINNER (1 point per category) | |
Clearest Title | This is a title I understand- the movie is going to have a fighter in it. | This is a title I do not understand- what's a "Tron"? (Don't judge me, I was born in the mid '80s). | This is a title that I can read clearly, but also that I hate... where is the %&*$ question mark???? | This movie is going to be about Yogi Bear! | Please notice my correct punctuation in these sentences. And notice the point for Yogi Bear. |
Best Genre and Rating | Sport/Drama
Rated R for language throughout, drug content, some violence and sexuality. | Sci-Fi Action
Rated PG for sequences of sci-fi action violence and brief language. | Dramedy
Rated PG-13 for sexual content and some language. | Animated Comedy
Rated PG for some mild rude humor. | Who gets the point. Do you know@ It's Tron Legacy for the unusual genre for a PG film? |
Cleverest Tagline (out of 5 stars) | "Based on a true story"
That doesn't count as a tagline 0/5 stars | "The game has changed"
Cleverish, cause it's a sequel about a computer game. 3/5 | "A new comedy from James L. Brooks"
That is also NOT a tagline -2 / 5 | "Life's a pic-a-nic"
Not too bad. A nostalgic reference to Yogi Bear's pronunciation of "picnic". 2/5 | Here's a tagline: The second grade education standards state that kids need to put question marks at the end of sentences that begin with "How." Oh, and Tron will win the point. |
Best Part of Trailer | I was engrossed- forgot I was watching a trailer. And Amy Adams. | It looks stylish. And light-up death frisbees. | The final scene in the trailer was awesome. And there were question marks!!! | There were only two brief moments in the entire trailer that were enjoyable. And Anna Farris. | I may be the only person on the planet not on the Tron bandwagon, which may be one reason why The Fighter gets the point this round. |
Coolest Lead Actor | Mark Walhberg from Boogie Nights, The Departed, and Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch. | Jeff Bridges from The Big Lebowski, Tron, Iron Man, and Crazy Heart. | Reese Witherspoon from Cruel Intetions, Legally Blonde, and Walk the Line. | Dan Aykroyd (Yogi's voice) from SNL, The Blues Brothers, and Ghostbusters. | The gentlemen have quite the acting chops, but can't quite beat Reese in this round. Point for the girl. |
Best Cast | Christian Bale (The Dark Knight), Amy Adams (Enchanted), and Melissa Leo (21 Grams). | Garrett Hedlund (Four Brothers), Olivia Wilde (House), Michael Sheen (The Queen), and Daft Punk. | Paul Rudd (Role Models), Owen Wilson (Wedding Crashers), Jack Nicholson (As Good As it Gets), and Tony Shalhoub (Monk). | The voice of Justin Timberlake, Anna Farris (Scary Movie), and Tom Cavanagh (Ed). | How Do You Know wins point for Best Cast. (Please forgive me, Amy Adams. Please don't hurt me, Christian Bale). |
Best Street Cred For the Production | Director David O. Russell has also directed Three Kings and I Heart Huckabees. | Writer Edward Kitsis has also written episodes for tv shows, like Lost. | Directer and Writer James L. Brooks has also directed As Good as it Gets and has wrote for The Simpsons, Taxi, and Mary Tyler Moore. | Director Eric Brevig has also directed Journey to the Center of the Earth and Xena: Warrior Princess. | James L. Brooks, despite forgetting about question marks, easily wins this round. |
