#oneletteroff Movie Wordplay Game Storms Twitter

by Amar Toor on October 26, 2009 at 03:50 PM


If you happened to log on to Twitter this weekend, you probably couldn't help but notice a deluge of movie jokes that had flooded the site. The latest trend, called #oneletteroffmovies, is a conceptually simple yet surprisingly entertaining word game, whereby you take the name of a movie and change only one letter to come up with a humorous (or plain weird) alternative title. Basically, it's Twitter meets the backseat of a car during family road trips -- minus the carsickness. And plus the occasional celebrity input, like Michael Ian Black's exceedingly clever 'Inglorious Bastards' submission.

So far, they've all been pretty polarized, either lovably corny ('Tree Romance,' 'Germs of Endearment') or patently hilarious ('The Empire Strokes Back,' 'Citizen Kanye'). Movie buffs and wordsmiths alike will find this new game pretty enthralling, and who knows what other genres the oneletteroff trend will seep into next? TV? Books? The possibilities are endless.
