Stupid films. Punnery. →[More:]
So, I've got this idea for a heist film where rather than going through a complicated setup involving many twists and turns, the heroes just steal the money from the casino in the easiest way possible. I'm going to call it Occam's Eleven.

Anyone else got a short synopsis for a pun related film?

I heard IRFH is working on his own movie, which, based on Hollywood gossip, is either about his experience running a burlesque theater in Its Raining Florence Henderson Presents or his encounter with Bigfoot in Harry and Its Raining Florence Henderson. Just sayin'.

Have you mentioned Tarentino's upcoming movie with an all-dog cast: Pup Fiction?
Or the gangster movie about the mobster who tried to take over the Icelandic fishing inductry, The Codfather?
Since Don Knotts passed away, they've been trying to cast a Christmas fantasy about his most famous character: It's a Wonderful Fyfe.
And there's a very weird sci-fi movie coming out about android hair stylists: Braid Runner.
And don't forget the upcoming "300" prequel, which oddly, has no violence but gets an R rating for language: Sparta Cuss.
