This week’s game focused on movies with #ImprovedMovieTaglines and with Christine Wonders [aka @googlegirl98] and Portmanteau Jones [aka @SadlyCatless] jumping in to perform co-hosting duties, we knew it was going to be a blast… and it was. Thank you to two wonderful, amazing and fun women who are kicking the butt cheeks of the Twitterer in the absolute best of ways. Was great to have you on board…

Twitterer’s Christine Wonders (@googlygirl98) is an impulsive, emotional, overly empathetic badass. She got invited to co-host my game because she is an absolute CHAMP at championing other peoples’ games and gives great promos for @AfrikkinHashtag every single week.

She is currently hiding from adulthood. (Please don’t tell it where I am…)

Oh, and she plays a lot of hashtag games.

Sadly the quest to get South Africa’s Premier game trending in South Africa remains a thing of the future, but Americaland and Canada were there in full force as were many others from around the world and we had a lot of fun. AND this was the most family friendly game i have yet played so WELL DONE EVERYONE for keeping it clean. You guys went for witty and clever and misdirectional and random which are my four favourite things to see in Hashtag Games. Well done on bringing it.

#IMPROVEDMOVIETAGLINES

So this week’s tag was pretty straightforward – you’ve watched the movie, but you felt there was a more appropriate or realistic tagline to go with it. As usual i put together a few of my own, you know, to get the ball rolling…

001GameDieHard

Maybe with a whiff of spoiler, but if you haven’t seen it yet… The next one was a widely hated movie [in Fantastic Four’s third movie outing] so the tagline looked to the future in hope:

Fantastic four tagline

Subtle reference to the Sharknado movies with this one:

Jaws alternative tagline

Whereas this one nodded to that great pencil-in-the-forehead moment in the best of the new Batman movies:

The Dark Knight alternative tagline

A pair of Star Wars movies, again with the subtle spoilers cos surely by now…

007gamestarwars 008GameAwakens

A reference to how many times the movies have had to save Private Damon…

009GameMattDamon

And finally, one last spoiler for one of the best twists a movie has brought us:

The Usual Suspects alternative tagline

Which of these was your favourites? I really liked, “Look ma, no HanS!” Leave your preference in the comments below…

But then there was the main focus of the game, which, as always was you, and as always there were way too many good ones to grab them all, but some of them we did manage to hold on to, and these are the entries that made it on to…

THE FISH LIST OF PRIZEWORTHYNESS [F.L.O.P] 

Paul got all scientific on us:

While Matt looked at the bigger picture:

Conduct spoke the truth which could have been applied to a whole lot of franchise offers:

roc

While Guapo asked the question:

Conduct was back with a literal tag:

Thor

And Jonathan said what we were all thinking:

Christmas Fairy nailed it with this one:

Geff called Marvel out [although personally i LOVED Ant-Man! Don’t judge me!]

Craig is clearly not a fan of this franchise:

While Rob and Damo both caught the essence of this brain-bender:

Memento

Misty called out Hollywood:

While Greg riffed a classic with another classic:

rob

And Bradley crossed genre with this brilliant catch:

There were SO MANY good ones this week, but the THREE i loved the most had to be
our regular F.L.O.P. appearee, Bunniboila with:

Wayne's World

Followed by Barnaby with the absolute PUN of the week:

While John is my @AFrikkinHashtag Winner of the Week with this misdirection beauty:
