Goat Day #3: TLDR Movie Summary
11Hi there! I’m not on the twitter, but apparently there is this thing going around where you TLDR the summary of a movie plot in 5 words, so that’s what we’re doing today because why not?
Along with the summary, you can either post the movie title, an image from the movie, or leave it for people to guess.
I’ll start:

@Thumperchick Is that five words?
@sligett I thought is was 5 or less.
@Thumperchick You’re likely correct.

@amehzinggrace
Thinking of a made for TV ‘movie’.
@amehzinggrace @PlacidPenguin you mean, like, on Lifetime or the Hallmark channel?
@amehzinggrace @moonhat
For US, think BBC America.
@PlacidPenguin Day of the Doctor
@stardate820926
Sure, that works.
(I was thinking of Twice Upon a Time, though I suppose I should have written ‘his past self’’. Confession: I barely watched the 13th Doctor. I only watched two seasons, and 1 movie.)
Ship hits iceberg and sinks.
@PlacidPenguin How many sinks? Why were they in the ocean?
@lichme
They were originally in the ship, but some came loose when the ship hit the iceberg.
The ship and the sinks then collided.
@PlacidPenguin Titanic. I first read this as shit hits iceberg and sinks…
@Kidsandliz
Presumably, the bodily waste was in the same predicament as the sinks which @lichme asked about.
@lichme @PlacidPenguin So what you are saying is that it should have read “shit hits iceberg and stinks”? Oh wait. That is what happens all the time with Penguins.
I can’t talk about it

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I enjoyed the movie, but liked the book even more; it handles the sub-plot about astrodynamicist Rich Purnell (“Houston, Be Advised: Rich Purnell is a Steely-Eyed Missile Man”) far better. That character really hits home in our family.
YMMV
