Unrelated Movies Described with the Same Sentence

Have you ever read a one-line movie description before you read the title and assumed it was another movie? A recent Ask Reddit thread posed the question: “Which two unrelated movies can be summed up with the same sentence?” Summing up a film in only one sentence makes it overly simple, and only highlights that we have very few types of stories, and they are told over and over. The pair above can use the line, "A Bitter Old Man Loses His Wife, Befriends His Young Asian Neighbour Who Helps Him Overcome His Bitterness And Cyncism." That's pretty detailed. However, it's not only a similar plot that can be used this way- sometimes it's a joke. The line for the movies below is "A Bunch Of Dinosaurs Kill A Lot Of People."



See 47 pairs of films that have nothing in common except the one-liner that describes them at Bored Panda, and read the original reddit thread here.

Maybe the pollsters neglected to properly factor in the large number of independents who are (oddly) free to vote for either party in NH primaries. I know if I lived in the state, I would register Independent so I would be always be free to vote for the opposing party's weaker candidate -- especially if my own party's race was not close.

Maybe we need more polling to predict the accuracy of the poll... It's a shame we can't be satisfied with the actual results rather than allowing the media to create news by boosting up the soothsayer aspect of their biz.

As far as I'm concerned the 'weather team' has the monopoly on that area.

Here's an idea... let's John Edward and Sylvia Browne to contact the spirit world and tell us where each primary will go...

Maybe it was a rigged election. Maybe somebody actually holds the controls to the voting machines. Maybe the primary is a better time to fake an election, since fewer people will look at it. The polls are never wrong, (cliche phone polling example aside) Obama won.

It is well known that Diebold's machines can be easily hacked in about ten minutes, so anyone who had access to them for that amount of time (perhaps in the factory) could have decided the results months ago.

The totals from the hand-counted counties were VERY different from those that used machines, in many cases off by 7%, which is more than enough to give second-tier candidate the win.

There needs to be a real discussion in this country about this, but most people just dismiss the very concept of a rigged election as tinfoil hat conspiracy talk. All the while our freedoms are taken from us one by one by one.

Polls and projections seem to have the effect of inspiring underdog voters to vote and/or, in the supporters of the sure-fires, blunting the sense of urgency to get to the polls.

Why polls anyway?

Primaries should be conducted nationwide in the same few hours.

I never did understand the point of your primaries, anyways. Why not just vote for them all on one night?

I listened to Obama's speech after the vote - wow, he's a great speaker, with good writers.

Hillary's speech was lame, uninspiring.

I think people are so afraid of a fiery black man that they'll vote for the tired-out, wimpy white woman.

Instead of looking at the pollsters, look at the ballot paper trail. The vast majority of impartial polling today is unimpeachable. If the polls are "wrong," you should smell a rat.

There are serious discrepancies between the hand count and machine count districts, and there is a single company who is the chain of custody for all the machine counts. The company is owned by an avowed Republican, and a principle in the company has a felony conviction. All of this is circumstantial, but very, very, suspicious.
