It's like Robocop meets Gone With The Wind!

In the heady, high-concept, coke-fueled days of 80′s Hollywood, it was rumored that some movies got produced simply on the basis of having an easily-communicated premise, like “Think ‘Gremlins’ in the Sahara!” Frequently, these premises would simply be a joining of two different movies into one (“It’s ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ meets ‘The Godfather!’”¹).

Thankfully, two decades later, we now live in a world where computers can do this sort of thing for us, thus eliminating the need for Jerry Bruckheimer.

Introducing, I Apocalypse Now Pronounce You Chuck And Larry (via Metafilter), which does but one thing: movie title mashups.

In some cases, they’re just plain dumb (“Kill Bill Vol. 1 Vol. 2″?) but frequently you get nuggets like the following not-so-subliminal message to M. Night Shymalan:

Stop Making Sense + The Sixth Sense =
Stop Making The Sixth Sense

…or the “Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas” of soft-serve sugar rush paranoia:

Sky High + Vanilla Sky =
Vanilla Sky High

…or, Charles Grodin being haunted by the ghost of his dead dog:

Beetlejuice + Beethoven =
Beethovenlejuice

You get the idea. Who said technology never gave us anything useful?
