Oh! I love the bunnies. Check out Jaws. I think that's their best, although Poltergeist is pretty good too.

I just watched all of them. Brilliant!
Thanks for sharing.

Maybe. Though truthfully, most of those are pretty darn incoherent.
Jaws works well, because...well, the story's not very complex. It doesn't have to be, the sheer body count keeps you guessing about who will survive. Titanic...anything that spares you having to watch it for over an hour is a good thing. But all of them were fun in their own right.

Yeah, all of those were fun, but most didn't have the feel of a complete story. That's why I put the link to It's a Wonderful Life. As much as I like some of the others, I felt IaWL had the most coherence, especially "George's" monologue while he's growing up. That monologue flows really well.
I liked Jaws and my husband says it's his favorite. Personally, I get a kick out of Alien (I think it's the concept of an alien with bunny ears that gets me).
What fascinates me the most is how they could take what to me is a dark and fascinating film and condense it to 30 seconds of fun without losing most of the main plot points while still retaining some semblance of a story. Of course, the impact of the film is lost, but still...

Stories are like atoms; a tightly condencesed, positivly charged plot surronded by a shifting sea of detauks.

You know, I can't figure out any good way to pronounce your "detail" particle so it doesn't sound like "detox".
