#makeAMovieCanadian

i remain, as ever, a sucker for jokey hashtag games on Twitter. They remind me of an improv game i used to play in high school, where the team would hide behind a stacked pile of risers and the audience would name a theme – say, “space”. From there, you had to pop out from behind the risers, either alone or with one or more hastily-assembled team members who just have to go along with it, and improvise a scene based on the theme.

The hashtag game making the rounds on Twitter today, courtesy of the Comedy Central gameshow thing @midnight, was #makeAMovieCanadian. Here’s my entry:

Although there are a lot of repeats and weak entries, the hashtag is still raging on Twitter with no sign of slowing down. Give it a shot on Twitter, or share your favourites in the comments.
