a collection of reflections by people i have known

From a reddit thread:

  • If you watch the movie ‘Jaws’ backwards, it’s a movie about a shark that keeps throwing up people until they have to open a beach. (also, short video almost proving the point)
  • If you watch Jeopardy! backwards, it’s a show about rich people paying money for answers to stupid questions.
  • Beverly Hillbillies backwards: Rich family loses everything, goes to live in a shack in the hills and ends up chasing a oily creature back into the ground with his shotgun.
  • If you watch Heroes backwards you realise that it’s been getting progressively better over time.
  • If you watch Rambo backwards, it’s Sylvester Stallone healing people with his magical bullet vacuum.
  • If you watch Scarface backwards, it’s about a man who gives up cocaine and crime to follow his dream of becoming a dishwasher to earn enough money so he can visit Cuba.
  • If you watch Fight Club backwards, you see Ed Norton turn from a crazy streetperson into a successful productive member of society.
  • If you watch American History X backwards, you see Ed Norton turn from a successful productive member of society into a crazy streetperson.
  • If you watch the Lord of the Rings trilogy backwards, it’s a saga about a little guy who gets a cool ring from a volcano and spends the rest of the films walking home.

Update: it’s going around this morning. Via Waxy, here is the same thing for videogames, plus a mention for Superman: A guy who flies around, putting people into precarious situations, then hiding.
