Were you aware that Star Wars was about how religious extremist terrorists destroy government installation, kill thousands?

Or that Serenity was about men who fight for possession of scantily clad mentally ill teenage girl?

Re: Uncomfortable plot summaries

the joke seems to be that summarizing various plots out of context leads to hilarious misunderstandings, but then the joke is obscured by very accurate summarizations of plots that are sad and pessimistic.

CLERKS: Aimless loser remains in dead-end job, abusive “friendship.”

that's... the theme of the movie, and not taken out of context.

some of them are funny though!
