After a seemingly endless string of Twitter-based party games, which rely almost exclusively on pun-based wordplay, it is nice to have a party game that harkens back to the world’s very first Best New Party Game. If you can remember that earlier era (were you even born yet?), the games back then relied more on the imagination and a deep understanding of the nuances of plot. All the pieces were made out of wood. And it was WHITES ONLY. Now, of course, anyone can play. Even women!
“Thanks.” — Women
This week’s game comes courtesy of tipster Fabiola, who saw the following thread on lamebook.com:
You get it. But now let’s see how WELL you get it!

Tell me someone has seen the one where Ashton Kutcher has a bowl cut and screams like an underdeveloped 14 yr old when confronted with a problem.
What’s the James Bond movie where he nails hot women, drives fast cars and has gadgets?
The Golden Compass?
Who’s that one actor from Entourage who is just as douchey as his onscreen character??
Hey guys, seriously though, and quick, what’s the one where Keanu Reeves saves the day and entertains millions? (He just stopped by my place wanting to hang out and he looks SUPER depressed.)
What’s the David Lynch movie that I don’t really understand?
Yeah, and what was that Twin Peaks episode with the sweet music and agent Cooper being wicked?
Wait, you mean the David Lynch movie with all the tits?
What’s that 3D movie that just came out that made everyone say, “How come nothing comes off of the fucking screen anymore?!”
do you know the one where ellen paige is sarcastic and thinks she is better than everyone else?
What was that post about an actor that always does the same thing in every movie they are in? Damn it. This is gonna drive me crazy…
I’m trying to think of that Steve Buscemi movie where he’s completely unhinged and dangerous, but not a single other character takes him seriously… or was he completely passive and docile, and no other character takes him seriously? It’s on the tip of my tongue… you know, it’s the one where he has a lot of loud, condescending dialogue – or was it a little bit of soft, sheepish dialogue… – and he ends up dying… or was it running away like a coward? Help me think of it!
This guy doesn’t know what you’re talking about
What’s that one apocalypse disaster movie that made BP go, “That’s so unrealistic”?
How about the one with Adam Sandler where he’s a man-child who learns some tough comedic lessons (usually from children) and ends up acting like an adult?
Do you remember that Simpsons episode where one of the kids is mad at Homer and then Marge threatens to leave him but then he learns his lesson long enough for the cycle of abuse to start again? Was that the movie?
I’m trying to remember that one remake that no one thought was necessary and then everyone was right…
Oh wait, it might have been a “reimagining.”
What’s that one movie where Meryl Steep plays a…woman? Dammit.
whats that movie where john travolta does an impromptu dance number?

………… Too soon?
Oh yeah, that really funny one.
Which is the one where Daniel Day-Lewis got an Oscar Nomination?
I think it was a period piece right?
What’s that one where Robin Williams is borderline insane?
Or the Ben Stiller one where he plays a neurotic everyman?
Oh! And the one where Owen Wilson ruins any credibility he once had?
Royal Tenenbaums? Ya burnt, Wes Anderson!
You mean that one Wes Anderson movie where Jason Schwartzman and Bill Murray’s adversarial relationship is backed by a score featuring a British Invasion band?
What’s that movie based on a Nicholas Sparks novel where the two main characters are from different class levels and their parents don’t want them to be together, but they end up together against all odds?
hmmm…can we narrow this down: Does one of them die?
It’s the one based on the book that was so much better than Blood Meridian.
You know, the one that’s kind of like Hemingway
What about that movie where the earth was about to be destroyed?
Pretty Woman?
No, I think shim means the movie EXACTLY LIKE Pretty Woman except it starred Richard Gere.

This Hausfrau person jumped all over me last time I couldn’t stand unbearable Steve Winwood. How many fake personalites do you have Steve?

Actually, I can’t think of any Leone movies with cowboys in them. His Westerns are always about gunslingers and rarely involve livestock of any kind. #pedanticgum
What’s that one that Jay Baruchel isn’t in?
What about that one indie movie where people come to terms with things? Or maybe it was a play?
Oh, maybe the one where Russell Brand doesn’t quite look like he’s been bathed?
Whats that movie thats got steve buscemi in it?

What is that one movie where the pivotal action scene happens exactly at the 60 minute mark and the stakes are raised for the main characters?
Which one is about war and it’s really just the best action movie, and we get to see people’s heads and body parts getting shot off for 2+ hours, but it’s war, so we’re supposed to think it’s really important. I might be thinking of that episode of that miniseries Tom Hanks and Spielberg produced.
is it the one that the racist teabaggers want to blacklist?
Do you mean that indie movie with the quirky free spirit who falls briefly in love with the tortured twenty-something writer? I think she has dyed hair. Or wears headphones all the time?
No, I think its that one Anthony Hopkins movie where he makes us all afraid of old white men…?
What’s that film where things go wrong before they go right? You know, it has boobs in it, but like, tasteful boobs?
What’s that one movie that seemed like it was made on a dare?
What’s that Gus Van Sant movie with the naked dude in it?
the one where he kills somone accidentally/on purpose?
Whats the movie where the whole extended family gets together for a holiday and everyone ends up reliving their old childhood issues, and reopening old wounds, and the climax revolves around a three-legged race, and then someone dies and everyone learns a very important lesson about life and the meaning of family. and don’t forget the karaoke scene!

What about the one based on a book, but it doesn’t live up to the source material?
What’s that one where the guy is kidnapped and forced to do drugs and buy alcohol for some gang?
Oh, that’s not a movie? I really thought that was a fictional movie.
“Next week, on a very special ’7th Heaven’”…
I think it’s the one where Amanda Bynes isn’t accepted (because she’s too pretty?) and gets revenge by rejecting social norms. R.I.P., Amanda Bynes; Hollywood–and, what the hell, the world–will miss you.
Ah crap. I’m tardy to the party game again! But it’s ’cause I was up all night watching a movie marathon.
I think one of them was the one where Steven Seagal played the ex-special forces guy with a chip off his shoulder and a vague blend of martial arts abilities looking to get some revenge.
And then we followed that up with that Jim Carrey movie where his face goes all weird.
I think the last one we watched was that one that used to be an Asian horror movie, but it got remade and then it SUCKED GIANT ONES.
So you can understand why I was a bit slow on the uptake this morning…
What’s that one pop song that some indie kids covered on youtube?

What’s the name of that movie in which artists are portrayed as semi-retarded fops with no moral character or practical skills?
Does anybody remember the name of that movie with the inexperienced lawyer who gets in way over his head, but manages to overcome seemingly insurmountable obstacles and win his case? I think it’s set somewhere in the South, and stars that actor nobody really takes seriously anymore.
