Just add ninja's

    [​IMG] I was having a discussion with a buddy of mine on all the 'chick flicks' we've been forced to watch, and what it would take to make them better. After some debate, we came to the conclusion that just about any of these movies could be worth watching if you just added ninja's! (granted, this was after quite a few beers! :beer: )

    Let's take You've Got Mail for example. Yawn...but wait...who is that shadowy figure following Mr. Hanks? Suddenly, Tom pushes Meg Ryan to safety as he draws his katana and faces off against some black-hooded baddies!

    Imagine, halfway through Garden State, a group of ninja's suddenly appear, forcing Natalie Portman to utilize her skills with a quarter-staff. Zach Braff is of course hacked to bits in the ensuing battle.

    This could apply to TV shows as well. What if on American Idol, the singers not making the cut would be strangled from behind by a shadow warrior? Or make a new reality show...Survivor: Ninja Island?

    :evil: :grin:

    An excellent idea! But why stop there? Picture Super Nanny Ninja. Spice up those boring presidential press conferences and senate hearings with Crouching Tiger-like super vampire ninjas! I would sure watch em.

    Wouldn't Love Actually be far more interesting if Colin Firth was on his way to the airport at the end and three ninja masters block his way into the terminal?

    If you click 'no' at that link, it takes you to the Oprah website!

    Anyway, I just got back from seeing Hitch with my wife. Now, while it was actually a pretty funny movie, I couldn't help but imagine Kevin James having to fight through an army of ninja's to save Amber Valetta...with Will Smith's help of course.

    And hey, if ninja's aren't your thing, you could always substitute something else. Drop a dragon into Legally Blond, some vampires in to Sleepless in Seattle, maybe some soccer hooligans in to My Best Friends Wedding.

    I dunno, I've enjoyed the chick flicks I've been forced to watch. Romantic comedies actually are funny--until the last quarter of the film, when they suddenly become "serious" (read: sappy) and bore me to tears.
