Thanks to Dandelion for this suggestion! The game is simple… describe a movie really badly. People then either guess your movie, or start a comment thread with their own.
For example for Alien… “murderous and icky Alien released on spacecraft. Many dead, but fortunately the cat survives”.
Nobody listens to a woman and then everyone dies, apart from the woman. And her cat.
That’s a way better description of Alien than mine!! I love it, bloody love it.
Well done, you got it! How about a harder one? (Hint: much more recent)
