It can be anything at all. Actor, director, a song, a setting etc.

I'll start:
Brokeback Mountain but the opening credits are playing over "It's Raining Men".

Everyone but Feines is a muppet.

Jokes aside, I think he'd made a decent Amon Goeth.

Spielberg: "No Mel, Oskar saved the Jews".

Ghostbusters but with an all female line up! Oh...

[–] samoanjoes (58611) 4 years ago

Maybe it could have worked if they didn't get the most annoying comedic actresses of all time.

[–] NotoriousRio (12927) 4 years ago

Which one? I thought the entire cast was awful, they needed a different director and different script too.

[–] samoanjoes (58611) 4 years ago

All the actresses were bad. Jason Reitman's verson will be better.

I like Wiig. I was looking forward to it (other than Jones). It was shit but an all girl GB could have been cool.

I'd keep Wiig and replace the rest with Olivia Munn, Debra Wilson, and Rose Burn. Plus, of course, an entirely different writer.

Citizen Kane, but instead of a sled, Rosebud is a homemade sock puppet.

Could you imagine the audience in 1941? They wait the entire movie and then they see the flashback to that.

[–] Stratego (31083) 4 years ago

I think those 3 people had already fallen asleep by then.

Gone with the Wind, but instead of the American Civil War, it's the Anglo-Zanzibar War.

Wasn't Cathy Lane in that?
