Default Re: Movie Plot Twist-Up: Twitter Style

I think it's 140 characters but it doesn't matter, 160 is all good.

As a side-note, there's an actual term for this, it's called a log line. I only know this because of a film class I took. But it's basically a one sentence summary of the pitch that people give to studios when proposing a movie or TV show.

Just want to make sure Twitter doesn't get undue credit.

This one's funny:

Quote:
The following "log line" has been widely circulated on the internet:

"Transported to a surreal landscape, a young girl kills the first woman she meets, then teams up with three complete strangers to kill again."

-- Log Line for The Wizard of Oz, attributed to Richard Polito of the Marin Independent Journal, who writes humorously sarcastic briefs for the paper's daily TV listings.
