Friday Challenge: Movie Titles

Today’s challenge is to alter a movie title to make it more attractive to an audience of fundamentalists.

Here are a few to start:

‘Gentlemen Prefer Blondes Who Dress Modestly’

‘The Cider House Rules Are Not Written Down Anywhere But You Should Obey Them Anyway’.

‘The 10,000 Commandments’

(many thanks to John who sent in this suggestion and most of the examples)

    1. I want to see “Being J Frank Norris”. That is a movie I’d love to see. If it were honest, then I don’t know how fundy friendly it would be.

    2. Love “No Dogs go to Heaven”, you could go a lot of ways with that:

      All Presbyterians go to Hell
      All Catholics…
      All homosexuals (but we won’t list lying with “those people”)…
      All Jews…

      The possibilities are endless…

    1. You need a prize, Reader Mo! And if there were a “like” button I would probably wear it out on today’s post alone. Brilliant!

    2. Dang it! I wake up in time!

      I was going to go with Debbie Does Dallas Soulwinning.

    1. Just saw HP and the Deathly Hallows last night at our city park. No denim jumpers anywhere! 😆

      1. That shocks me. 😯

        oh, wait…no it doesn’t 🙄 but hey, i used to be the same way. i thought anyone who read the books were at the best confused and weak in their faith and at worst a Wiccan.

        1. Yes, I was like that too when I worked at Fundy U and went to their churches. Then I realized that EVERYONE who told me not to read the books or preached an emotional sermon about it had NEVER even read the books (I asked every one of them). Other normal people told me to read the books. Now we have all the books and the movies and the HP movie was our family excursion last night. I LOVE being normal now!!!! 🙂

    1. @Scorpio…What should be our in-flight movie today Captain? It’s Fundy Friday Flyer day. Should we keep the peace on board and show our Fundy passengers “A Soulwinning Superhero movie:10,000 Doors an Hour (iwasateenagefundy) so they feel secure during flight 🙂 or sucker punch’em and show “Hurt Pulpit” (by RobM)? 😈

      We’ll do whatever you say Captain but remember yesterday was rough with Jonathan aboard….

      Sincerely, 1st Stewardess Presbygirl

      1. Presbygirl – You’re doing a fine job with your duties and any of the titles you selected could work. But when I’m in the cockpit, there is only one movie that will ever be shown:

        Airplane! :mrgreen:

        1. @Scorpio.. Yes sir Captain!

          Excuse me, coming through..watch your shoulders and your legs (snack cart rolling). Would you like something to drink…the movie Airplane is to start..do you need a headset? They are $2…. 😀

    1. Yeah, most of the fundy women I knew didn’t have the skinny problem, quite the opposite.
