The Twenty-Fifth Submissions

When we last left The Bad Lieutenant's Wife, the bad Ed was too busy to save her and left her hanging from the precipice like an indifferent Simon Legree.

It took an idiot sp*mmer with more than an hour to kill and a nationally syndicated cartoonist to revive The Bad Lietenant's Wife...if only for a moment.

Sridhar J left off with-

"The Scary Simpson's Movie"

"My Best Friend's Wedding Crashers"

"Behind Thin Red Enemy Lines"

"Of A Few Good Mice And Men (I'm not sure if this has been done already, the search isn't as reliable as it once was. Ed)"

"Happy Go Lucky Gilmore"

"It's A Wonderful Bug's Life"

"When Harry Potter Met Sally"


Bucky Katt (sic) a.k.a. Darby Conley weighs in with this one and you have to click it to make it bigger-

The Twenty-Fourth Submissions

X. Dell pushed and pushed, and then he revived The Bad Lieutenant's Wife on his blog. Normally I don't encourage this and someone who blatantly ripped me off on the Internet (not Mr. Dell, I repeat, not Mr. Dell) should pray that I do not get ahead enough on my overtime pay to hire a lawyer. Yet The X Man has been lobbying for TV shows for ages and I said that if he wanted to do TV shows, by all means, do TV shows.

He asked his blog's readers and they came up with some good ones, which he posted on his blog. X. Dell notified me of this, and he forwarded them, unlike a certain rip-off artist. There are some serious gems in here, but why are you reading this? When you should be reading the Twenty-fourth Submissions-

The Twenty-Third Submissions

Rust never sleeps, and neither does The Bad Lieutenant's Wife! It's been nearly a year since the last submission. Flannery decided to wake this blog from its slumber and she chooses to fight the cold, cold winter of Ohio (note, with nary a yellow snowball in the list) with-

"Scooby Doo and the Reluctant American Werewolf in London"

"Get Smart Shorty"

"The Dark Knight's Tale"

"Dr. No Reservations"

"Charlie Wilson's War of the Roses"

"Jumper Cable Guy"

"No Country for Three Old Men and a Baby"

"An American Gangster in Paris"

"Love Story in the Time of Cholera"

"We're No Snow Angels"

"Good Night the Good, the Bad and the Ugly, and Good Luck."

"Pirates of the Carribean: Men in Black Pearls"

"Ocean's Twelve Angry Men"

"National Treasure: Book of the Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood"

"Fun with Dick and Lady Jane"

That Ed guy? He's completely unprepared and that is odd, considering he's had over eleven months to get it together. He panics and goes to his Fandango email for scraps-

"Underworld: Rise of The Mallcops"

"Bloody Inkheart Valentine"

"Cujo, Marley & Me"

"How To Marry A Slumdog Millionaire, Without Really Trying"

This Is Almost A Contribution

The multiplex in my wife's hometown almost posted a contribution. I am not very happy with another blog, who may or may not have "borrowed" my idea, but I can't stray to far from my writing to address this offense and devote time to it. Regardless, I will be writing to a few great minds, in an effort to help get this blog some fresh blood.

Issue Number Four of Astonishing Adventures is finally here!

The Twenty-Second Submissions

Becky says "how about 'The Ghost and Mr. Chicken and Mrs. Muir?' Two of my favorite movies!"

The Paper Anniversary of The Bad Lieutenant's Wife

By the time I click "publish post" on this submission, this blog will be hours short of its first birthday (and the crowd goes wild!). Who knew? I certainly didn't and the submissions that are forever on these pages, have amused, impressed, and even stupefied me in their humor and brilliance.

I salute each and every person who has submitted their take on this game and you all should pat yourself on the back. A game is only is good as its players and each of you should be tested for steroids/performance enhancing drugs...no seriously, drop this blue tablet in the toilet and fill the cup. I'll also need a hair sample and I don't want to hear any nonsense about shy kidneys.

Beware now, as this editor will get self-indulgent and pick the best of that guy Ed's submissions. Remember, only you can prevent forest fires and that guy Ed, by creating more submissions of your own-

"When Harry Met The Usual Suspects"

"National Blue Velvet"

"True Underworld Romance"

"On Any Given Girl Friday"

"Five Easy Pieces of About Schmidt"

"Goodfellas, Bad Boys And The Ugly"

"Cloverfield of Dreams"

"Play Gorillas In The Misty For Me"

"The Best Truman In Show"

"The Bourne Elf Identity"

The Twenty-first Submissions

Who's ready for more? Spot serves it up like he's at the Australian Open-

"National Velvet: Book of Secrets (A drug-addled Liz Taylor teams up with Nicholas Cage in this adventure yarn to prove that Abraham Lincoln was actually assassinated by John Wilkes Booth's horse.)"

"Juno Country For Old Men. (the new Cohen brothers movie in which a pop-culture-reference-dropping teen mom puts her stash of smack up for adoption. It's got Jason Bateman!)"

Ed tries to return the volley with-

"Half-baked, Full Frontal Double Indemnity"

"The Glass House Of Mirth"

"Boxing Helena Troy"

"The Best Truman In Show"

"Blazing And Confused Saddles"

Spot rushes the net with-

The Cohen brothers return with "There Will Be Blood Simple" This confused tribute to film noir westerns has detectives, dames, cowboys, oil, and a cameo by Frances McDormand's underpants.

And a little something for the tween crowd: "Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus: War of the Worlds Concert Tour" In this remake of the classic H.G. Wells story, martians invade the east coast, only to find that they have no resistance to crappy Disneypop. For god's sake, root for the martians.

X. Dell jumps down in the court and chaos ensues-

"I Know What You Did Last Summer of Sam (Somebody spied on David Berkowitz)."

"Mr. Mari’s Little Drummer Girls (Diane Keaton stars as a drug addicted prostitute who doubles as a spy)."

"Love Finds Amos and Andrew (Andy) Hardy (Samuel L. Jackson and Mickey Rooney both get lucky).Bananas! Meatballs! Cold Turkey! (A gripping drama about a restaurant with a limited menu)."

"Get on the Short Bus (Richard Belzer and Andre Braugher enjoy an orgy en route to the Million Man March)."

(The Ed will make a few exceptions for old school pron movies, because they were technically movies released in theaters and technically, they had scripts)
"Debbie Does North Dallas Forty (In this sequel, Bambi Woods branches out to the suburbs.)."

"Bad Boys on the Side (Whoopi Goldberg and Drew Barrymore challenge Will Smith and Martin Lawrence in a contest to determine which pair can chew more scenery)."

"Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid Again (Because of hypnosis, Steve Martin can’t recall a serious fashion faux pas)"

"The Opposite of Sex and the Single Girl (A film about marriage)."

"A Repo Man for All Seasons (Harry Dean Stanton refuses to steal the popemobile despite Henry VIII’s order)."

"I Write, Therefore I Strike"

The Missus and I have worked hard to bring screenwriters, writers, as well as their friends, and family everywhere, a way to show their solidarity and support. We have a whole new section at the shop dedicated to The Great Writers' Strike of 2007-2008, with the slogan "I Write, Therefore I Strike." Doesn't that sound like something Rene would've said if he were a striking screenwriter?

Some of the clothing costs a little more because the designs are printed on both the front and the back, this is a Cafe Press expense because of the cost of printing on both sides. This was also my idea because this way the message can be seen up and down the picket line, as well as any where the writer or supporter goes.

In effort to show our solidarity, we are also offering the "Value Shirt" that Cafe Press sells AT COST.

The Twentieth Submissions

Originally I envisioned the twentieth installment to be the "Best Of, but really, shouldn't the "Best Of" installment stand on its own? Other things kept piling up and I never got around to until now, some seven months later.

The problem being that I wanted to kick this off with a bang, but double checking submissions, I hadn't realized that I had already posted them on the Nineteenth Installment. All I have left over is one meager joke that didn't pass muster and I already set today as the deadline, so...

"Hellraiser Arizona."

There it is and as I've said before when I kicked this thing off, surely you can do better and I know you can do better than that. Make me proud!

The Best of B.L.W. Volume Two

Once again this is the "Best Of" and this time we have installments eleven through nineteen. Everybody is listed in the order they appeared, not by preference and with their best ten submissions for those installments. If there are less than ten for that person, that is because they submitted less than ten during this time period.

From Angel's Mind:

"12 Alien Monkeys" "Kiss Kiss Romeo & Bang Bang Juliet"

"The Jazz Piano" "All The President's Few Good Men"

The Best Of B.L.W. Volume One

To pare all of these submission down to a "Best Of" list was easier in some aspects and harder in others. First, I thought it would be both fairer and simpler to break it down to the first ten installments of the Bad Lieutenant's Wife. Also to maintain partiality, I thought it as editor, I would not post any of my submissions.


That being said, I know that everyone is going to be upset that their favorites aren't up there. This is true of any list and I hope everyone can understand this, as taste is subjective and other than my choice in spouse? I have no taste.


Once again this is the "Best Of," installments one through ten. Everybody is listed in the order they appeared, not by preference and with their best ten submissions for those installments. If there are less than ten for that person, that is because they submitted less than ten during this time period.

From John D. Carlucci:

A Moment Of Silence, Please

From one of the editors of Astonishing Adventures Magazine-

I don't want to intrude on Katherine, but I just wanted to say a little something.
We lost one of our pulpsters recently and we at AAM want to say we're sorry. Katherine's sister Mary contributed the illustration for Tit For Tat in the first issue and she passed away on Saturday.

Please keep Katherine and her family in your thoughts.

A Prayer For John Donald Carlucci

A pox on Yahoo and a pox on blog-city. I have just received an email some three days after it was intended, John Donald Carlucci has pancreatitis. If you go to here, his sister posted the general information in the "comments section."

Please take the time to say a prayer for him and try to post a get well, though I don't know how strong his comment moderation is.

Thank you

P.S. An update from John's sister Leslie via John's blog:

John was moved from ICU late this afternoon. He will be in the hospital for at least another couple of days. At this point we are just waiting on test to come back. His color looks good and he was awake and talking for awhile today. He is not aloud any food or drink. That of course is making him very unpleasant. They said this occurred because of extremely high cholesterol and he is diabetic. We are waiting to hear if the diabetes is primary or secondary. He had an MRI today and should know tomorrow if he is going to require surgery. Friday he was in critical condition. The doctor said we almost lost him. That is very, very scary..... he's a pain in the ass, but I love him. Thanks for any prayers. Leslie

"The Unbearable Lightness of Being Earnest"

The best blogger in all of Canada, Dale:

"Match Point Blank"

When there are enough submissions that are left in the "comments" section, they will be added into another submission section.

The Beginning

A friend of mine and I had a conversation years ago, where we came up with a word-slash-title game. You combine two disparate movie titles into one, as if it was a natural thing all along. Thus, "The Bad Lieutenant's Wife" was born.

So, using the aforemention as an example:"The Bad Lieutenant" and "The French Lieutenant's Woman," become "The Bad Lieutenant's Wife."

Capisce?

"Three Men And A Little Lady" + "The Lady In The Lake" = "Three Men And The Lady In The Lake."

This was before Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, I think, but I'm not entirely sure. So using a movie with Kevin Bacon, "The River Wild" and couple that with "A River Runs Through It." You get the "The River Runs Wild Through It."

Any movie with "Friday" in the title is too easy. "The Friday The 13th After Next," right?

You can mix eras up, by taking something older and combining it with something a little more recent. Thus, "Bad Santa At Black Rock." You can use a maximum of four titles, because things tend to be confusing after that.

If you can, before posting your submission, please type in keywords of your titles, click "Search Blog" to make sure that your combination is not redundant.

Surely, you the reader can do better, "Jude Law, The Obscure"...well, that's not really a movie title compliation, but you get the idea.
