It's Good to Laugh when You're Unemployed

I found MeMo by way of The Morning News.  Her posts consistently make me laugh, and even though today's post is not a MeMo original, it made me laugh so hard that I had to call my spouse and read her some of it over the phone.

She found the idea at Videogum, but the idea is to take a well-known movie, and create a TV Guide-style synopsis, only so bland and obscure that it wouldn't make sense if you didn't know what movie it was describing.  Here are MeMo's examples:

Alien: Ship fails to deliver cargo, crew doesn't get bonus.

Blade Runner: Man with no apparent skill stumbles into escaped robots, fails to kill most, [does] one.

Die Hard: Dysfunctional cop saves marriage by murdering foreign national.

Groundhog Day: Misanthropic creep exploits space/time anomaly to stalk coworker.

Jurassic Park: Theme park's grand opening pushed back.

I liked the idea so much that I wrote one of my own, which I think is perhaps the best that has ever been written:

No Country for Old Men:  Injured thief takes trip to Mexico for cheap medical care.

If you've got one in mind, post it in the comments.  And if you're really nice, head over to MeMo's post and post it there too.
