“Their idyllic holiday turns nightmarish as they are subjected to unimaginable terrors and struggle to stay alive.” This for the movie Funny Games. Watch the trailer. It appears to be The Rope meets an emasculated Straw Dogs meets With a Friend Like Harry. I’m excited cause it’s got a release date smack dab in the middle of the first Movie Watching season, or the time when studios shine up their shit and hit up the general public for a ticket.
I love that time of season, bad sci-fi films galore, but this isn’t really why I began with the quote above, to inform you I have a sadomasochistic streak. I quote from the trailer blurb because I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, my dream job is being that guy. The guy that writes the movie synopsis you read off the back of DVD covers. Someone needs to get a collection of these things going cause a few tickle the edge of genius.

That seems like a nice job to have. I’ve often wanted to write the little summaries that the cable provider gives. On comcast they sometimes interject a little criticism with the synopsis.
