#oneletteroffmovies

This weekend, Twitter was nigh overcome with thousands of Tweetees chipping in their two cents (or in some cases, about $.3.28 worth) in on the little #oneletteroffmovies meme.

For the uninitiated, Twitter is a thing. You type words in it, and they go out on the web and people read them. Some people get it, some people don’t. Occasionally, a “meme” comes along, which is a sort of game in which people add to the collective brilliance of the already-awesome internet by making a contribution.

This meme involved taking a movie title, and changing one letter…and making something odd, funny, raunchy, ridiculous or otherwise bizarre out of it.

For your viewing pleasure, I offer up my own submissions (and some of my favorites from others at the bottom):

• “Eh, Brother Where Art Thou?” Canadian prisoners escape to search for treasure, sing old timey songs.
• “The Malteser Falcon” Bogart discovers pricless treasure replaced with fake made out of crappy chocolate-covered candy
• “Glengarry Glen Hoss” Loveable big-guy from Bonanza trades in his spurs for a Chicago real-estate firm.
• “Mr. Dolittle” Eddie Murphy plays disgraced veterinarian who is stripped of his license in this dark drama.
• “The Green Milk” Tom Hanks lives forever after drinking milk John Coffee touched….
• “La Vin en Rose” Vin Diesel and a French singer race imports, steal stuff.
• “Shawn of the Dead” Similar to ‘Shaun of the Dead,’ but it’s Shaun’s friend Shawn battling zombies this time.
• “There Will Be Bloop” Crazy California oil man just can’t seem to get it right! Outtakes galore!
