I just got a job writing and editing a dumb, glitzy show called "Hollywood On Set." It features clips from three new movies out this week plus interviews of the stars and director praising their own work. Anyway, one of my tasks is to write a cheesy narration (for example, "This week on 'Hollywood On Set,' George Clooney gives Al Pacino a run for his money in the new crime comedy caper, Ocean's Thirteen."
Anyway, my boss told me that my cheesy TV writing isn't cheesy enough for him and requested that I include more puns about the specific movie (such as "a run for his money" for Ocean's Thirteen). I figured, what better place to find puns about movies than FWFR!
So here's my proposal: if I'm desperate for a pun about a specific new movie and I use a review from FWFR, I'll be happy to give votes to the person who's review I used and I'll alert them about my use of their pun on the FOURum or through a PM. Is this ok with everyone (especially Benj)? |

If I have anything you can use for inspiration, GH, feel free. No need to give votes. |

If I have anything you can use, please do.
(Do check with the Whip as well... he's a master at punning.)

| Fine by me, and no need for any votes. However, it would be great to see a video clip of anyone's F.W.F.R. being used, if that were possible. |

 What they said.
Although I may not be all that much use to you, as by the time I get round to seeing/reviewing any new movies, they're not so new anymore  |

Feel free to use any fwfr's of mine and if you want to post here about any upcoming movies I'm sure someone may be able to provide additional inspiration without the 4 word restriction |

Sure, you can use my reviews if it's OK with benj. The only iffy thing about it is passing it off as your own work: keep doing that long enough, even with permission, and eventually it's gonna catch up with you.
EDIT: But my reviews are never puns. They are carefully crafted plays on words which are each a work of literary art.

But, if they're of help, have at them.
