Just giving everyone something to do other than contemplate the pressure that comes with the day. Play me games instead, lassies and laddies! And speak with a brogue for no apparent reason!
GAME #2:
I’ve picked 10 famous couples from 10 famous movies. Happy couples. Tragic couples. Star-crossed couples. Mismatched couples. Warring couples. I tried to mix it up. They’re listed below. Your job now is to mix and match them. Rematch them. (I know. It may seem like a sacrilege in some cases.) Too BAD!! Rhett is no longer with Scarlett. Pair him with someone else. Explain why, if you’d like. AND also, with your new couple, create a new title for the movie they’re in.
Again, MB and I did this at breakfast. One of us came up with this one:
Mr. Darcy and Rhett /Gone with the Pride
Uhm, okay! We’ll just move along here.
Here’s the list of couples:
Harry and Sally — When Harry Met Sally
Rick and Ilsa — Casablanca
Rhett and Scarlett — Gone with the Wind
C.K. Dexter Haven and Tracy — The Philadelphia Story
Jack and Rose — Titanic
Henry and Eleanor (the happy couple!) — The Lion in Winter
Hubbell and Katie — The Way We Were
Alvy and Annie — Annie Hall
Sean and Mary Kate — The Quiet Man
Elizabeth and Darcy — Pride and Prejudice
Westley and Buttercup — The Princess Bride
Okay, there’s 11. Me + math = ?!#%?!! Do as many as you like here. I have absolute confidence that you can all come up with something better than Rhett and Darcy in Gone with the Pride. Okay?
GO!!
I don’t know… yours is pretty genius.
Jack and Buttercup – The Princess Died (he stays dead, Inigo never gets Rugen, and you know what – WAAAAAAY too depressing. Now I can’t finish playing)
That IS sad! But, uhm, funny, too, because isn’t Buttercup kind of a brat?
I’m going to play on famous lines: Rick and Scarlett–Tomorrow We’ll Play It Again (Sam)
Kate — Good one! Heeheeheehee!
