mc5 - So the Danish guy dies

Well, we've all seen those promising trailers that make the worst films seem like the next Oscar winner - how about writing a description that makes a classic sound absolutely dire? e.g. So there's this teenager and he hates his mother and his stepdad and there's loads of drugs and gore and they all die. Only better, hopefully. And without Mel Gibson.

Troy

Some pretty girl bunks up with some ditzy boy, only -- wouldn't you know it? -- politics gets in the way. Duh! This huge "war" thing happens -- like, bummer -- but the big hero spends the whole time sulking in a tent -- until his boyfriend gets snuffed. Then there's this crazy horse business -- dude, you don't wanna know. And they go off and found Rome or something. Yeah, the Sistine Chapel and shit. Ice cream and pizza. Three coins in the fountain. Man, I'm hungry. Can we get take out?
