Sometimes, two ideas are better than one
If you look hard enough ... check that, if you look at all, you’re bound to find some weird stuff on the Internet. As I’ve made a lifestyle practice, though, weird doesn’t necessarily mean bad. In fact, it can mean the polar opposite − as long as you imbue the weirdness with a bit of wit.
Take, for example, this Web site. It’s an intentional blending of two films at a time to make a unique poster for a new movie. And I don’t know about you, but I’d love to see a blending of “Pi” and “American Pie” (“American ∏”) or a melding of “Memento” and “Dude, Where’s My Car?”
Suggestions for new amalgamations:
HBO’s “Hung” and “The Magnificent 7” (“Hugely Magnificent 7”).
“Bolt” and “Raiders of the Lost Ark” (“Raiders of the Lost Bark”).
“Sssssss” and “Up”(“Sssssssup!”)
Anyway, you get the picture.
