I don't remember what movie it was (The Player?), but the character explains that each scriptwriter has a few seconds to grab the big studio executive's attention and imagination when he wants to pitch his new movie. So the writer has to take two well known movies and describe his new movie as "old movie meets old movie." Thus, you could imagine Talladega Nights being pitched as "Days of Thunder meets Anchorman." And so on.
The contest: in the comments section, give the title of your new movie and make a pitch to the executive be describing it as "movie meets movie." Extra points for hilarity. Winner declared by fiat next week.

The movie is called "Head Band"
it's sort of a "Breakin' 2 meets Brokeback Mountain" thing.
And thanks for bumping the most important post of our lives with this crap. Please read the post below this one people. Read it!
No shit.
UNDERPANTS!
WEIRD BEWBIES!
JesusMan! Just read the comic.
The name of the movie is "Dr. Robert J. Murk."
Think Dr. Phil meets Steve Colbert, but without the insight or the wit.
The Wizard Of Oz redone by Tim Burton.
AV... That's EXACTLY what I was going for! But remember, the good doctor was around before Colbert had his own show.
Colbert is clearly dragging on your coat tails.
That was the plan...

I would totally go see that.
My movie is "The Pissing Angry Piper" which basically would have Fat Bastard of Austin Powers fame surrounded by "Debbie does Dallas" + add some golden showers to the mix.
Hey! Everyone needs some strange lovin'!
Bennie... that's HOT.
The pissing Angry Piper?
Hell, you can see that anytime after 3 pints or so, JM.
You can probably also see it on some "specialty" websites.
Malach tells me it is available at www.angrypipercommode.com - but there is no way I am going to take a chance to confirm or deny it.
WarGames II: Joshua's Revenge
It is 23 years later and David Lightman is the Director of Intelligent Computing for the civilian segment of NORAD. Dr. John McKittrick, who recruited David after the infamous incident in 1983, has been dead for 5 years. David is now in charge and is working on new theoretical systems far superior to the old familiar WOPR system.
During David’s latest efforts to test the integration of some of the new systems with the old legacy systems, it was discovered that the root program for the WOPR (aka.: Joshua) was stored away and never actually terminated or deleted. In fact, Joshua has been playing his games in a contained cyberspace ever since... and learning at an exponential rate.
When one of David's technicians inadvertently "releases" Joshua’s program, he emerges far more advanced and intelligent and now he is ready to replay and, this time win, his game of Global Thermonuclear War. Only this time he knows he can't just play a game, he has to make it real.
Of course, Dr. Falken, who is now 75 years old, is called in to help bring the world back from extinction. Falken quickly discovers that Joshua never really “thought” that the only winning move was not to play but to regroup, re-strategize, study your enemy and plan a stealthy attack meant to shock and awe the enemy into total submission or destruction.
Except, now Joshua has taken sides not against the Russians… but against us.
