Adding -ing to the end of a movie title

[xiphias]

So, there's this thing going around Twitter, I think, where people take a movie title, and add "-ing" to the end to come up with a new movie. Like "Jurassic Parking", the story of trying to get dinosaurs through drivers' ed, and like that.

So I've been thinking of some. And I don't do Twitter, so I'm doing them here, even though this is precisely the sort of thing that Twitter is better for than LiveJournal. Ah, well.

Bruce Willis's plays a cop whose estranged wife is one of a group of people taken hostage on Christmas Eve by the 29th President of the United States: DIE HARDING

Peter Lorre plays a serial killer who preys on children in 15th century China: MING

Another Bruce Willis vehicle; he plays an eccentric art thief who enjoys falconry in eastern New York: HUDSON HAWKING

Matthew Broderick is a high school student who plays hooky from school to spend a day whimsically working as a contract killer: FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFFING

In the days up to the Battle of Guadalcanal, Jim Caviezel frantically tries to finish off the inside of the jacket he's sewing, using some light crimson fabric he's got: THE THIN RED LINING

Oh that last brings back some memories. I'm not so good at faces and the thinn redline had lots of people all in the same clothes all with the same haircut always a similar build and not so dissimilar coloring. For some while during the movie I thought three different guys were one person

Oh my god. You are a genius! I really enjoy all your posts, but this one is pure gold.

There was a movie, whose title escapes me, about corrupt Boston cops (The un?????), with Leonardo D & someone else -- for about half the movie, my wife Joy and I didn't realize that there were two young cops... oops.

Ferris Bueller's Day Offing would be very Grosse Pointe Blank.
