It is also the ultimate chick flick. Two chicks fighting to the death over a pair of shoes.

Technically they never did meet. She just kills the person right away.

Hmph. I know the guy who wrote the original version of that, and it wasn't "Inquirer Television Writer Lee Winfrey." It was Rick Polito, then of the Marin Independent Journal, whose capsule summaries of TV shows and movies was reason enough to read that paper.

So just to clarify, we're supposed to be looking at the thing that is circled and highlighted?

I disagree, I saw this one a few days ago... http://i.imgur.com/lX2wg.png

My personal favorite is the synopsis of Jaws played backwards, which went something like this: A shark vomits out people until they have to open a beach.

I too have watched Jay Leno

This is a good breakdown that sort of elaborates on this synopsis.

I can't wait until Wicked gets a film adaptation.

For more, check out this 2010 AMC blog post about accurate but misleading synopses, which also gives a source for the Wizard of Oz synopsis.

My favorite is the synopsis of 2001: A Space Odyssey:

"A well-meaning computer's attempt to fulfill its mission runs afoul of a human crew with other plans."

Here's a different take on the story NSFW..

shulz-nuggets · 1 day

that's pretty accurate.

"Pill-popping computer nerd befriends mysterious black man in plot to overthrow government. Donning shades and leather trench coats, this unlikely pair embark on a drug-induced rampage, taking out law enforcement agents along the way." - The Matrix

The good witch is actually the villan if you look at it.

This movie has a robot in it.

That's all i need to know.

Bitches be crazy.

Seriously, how Dorothy isn't considered the villain is beyond me. She's a murderer and a thief

Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first person she meets and then teams up with three strangers to kill her sister.

FTFY

ThaMac · 2012-10-26T08:29:37+00:00

On a side note, how does everyone feel about the upcoming Sam Raimi prequel to The Wizard of Oz? That's a pretty amazing cast that they put together.

InternetCrank · 2012-10-26T11:48:25+00:00

I think I prefer a synopsis of that god-awful film, Pearl Harbour that appeared in the papers here:

"The Japanese bomb a love triangle in the south Pacific".

I'd love to see a wizard of oz trailer recut in this style.

ans84 · 2012-10-26T08:25:49+00:00

8-10 pm? It's been a while but I'm pretty sure this movie is close to four hours.

Selfbias · 2012-10-26T08:31:18+00:00

They should have also mentioned it's best viewed while listening to Pink Floyd

Johito · 2012-10-26T08:33:34+00:00

"The film about the space hairdresser and the cowboy, he has a tinfoil pal and a wheelie bin, his dads a robot and he fucking fucked his sister and they all wear lego" the best synopsis of Star Wars i'v ever heard. Malcolm - the thick of it.

no-game · 2012-10-26T08:35:57+00:00

I fucking hated that movie when I was a kid.

how do i make my response a link? ive been on reddit maybe four years now, haven't tried. thanks in advance, redditors.

ParadoxN0W · 2012-10-26T08:40:55+00:00

Not really accurate though, right? Dorothy doesn't gather allies to kill the Witch, she gathers them to see the titular Wizard of Oz. Duh.

HilarityEnsuez · 2012-10-26T08:48:49+00:00

Speaking of witch movies, I think it's time we watch this and this again. The second one is actually brilliant storytelling.

kellykebab · 2012-10-26T08:52:24+00:00

Ah. They totally missed this trenchant critique over at Studio 360.

.

Anyone?

Well fuch, now I have to watch this? Is it on Netflix, or will I have to use other means?

tha_ape · 2012-10-26T10:06:07+00:00

She never met her. She was asleep when the house fell on her.

AlexanderMoore2 · 2012-10-26T10:16:32+00:00

Correction, this is the best set of film synopsis' of all time.

sammich_no_crusts · 2012-10-26T10:29:44+00:00

I've always thought I was one of the few that hated this movie...'Sob" now I don't feel so alone.

emilycoward · 2012-10-26T10:47:03+00:00

My favorite movie is The Wizard of OZ.

kmorgaen · 2012-10-26T11:13:24+00:00

Sounds legit. Just a very special point of view.

Lee Winfrey, 70, former TV critic Died on April 2, 2003 Does asking him to put his synopsis down about Inception count as reason of substance in accordance with "The dead are to rest where they have been lain unless reason of substance is brought forward for disturbing their repose." ?

manlord · 2012-10-26T11:47:06+00:00

She didn't kill the first witch, the house landed on her. Dorothy didn't control where the house landed.

This is the first thing I've seen in funny that made me actually laugh in a long time.

Somewhat related, but hilarious either way.
