Title: If you watch a movie backwards.
Post by: Chino on March 28, 2011, 08:49:21 AM: Inspired by the Godzilla and the Cinderella pictures. In this thread we discuss what are favorite movies are about if we watched them in reverse.

If you watch Avatar backwards, it's about an na'vi who wakes up one evening to find his clan at war with aliens who have been troubling them for a while. He begins to suffer from dimentia and slowly starts to forget all his skills. He gets kidknapped by the aliens who take his DNA in an attempt to make a remotely controlled body called a human, which is na'vi DNA mixed with the DNA of the natives. They succeed but fucked up somewhere and his legs don't work. They send him back to Earth where he finds out there is a guy who looks just like him who recently died.

...well that wasn't particularly funny, but it's the best I can do for now.

So in the meantime:
