Team Name Bonus Point – Week of 3 May 2020

There are a lot of great films out there in which characters don’t behave like they would if they were living in a world facing a deadly pandemic.

This week we want you to fix that.

With your team name, we want you to change a film plot to make it appropriate for our current situation.

Lord of the Rings: Sauron is defeated easily because Mordor doesn’t practice social distancing

Four Weddings and a Funeral (none of which had anyone in attendance)

Home Alone: Kevin just coughs in the direction of the burglars as they enter the house and they back off

Finding Nemo: Nemo had a contact tracing app installed, and is found in 5 minutes

Star Wars: Basically the same film, but with more force choking from a distance

Jaws: The beach was already closed

Give us a Coronavirus compliant film plot for a bonus point.

Have an interesting week.
