I am calling this one a Four Icon MacGuffin Challenge – mashing up the Four Icon Challenge with Messing with the MacGuffin

MacGuffins can happen in real life. The world as we know it would be turned inside out. Countries overthrown. Entire cultural history tossed aside. Dogs and cats sleeping together. Cubs wining the Series. Stuff like that.

I was trapped in my car all afternoon burning with desire to feed the MacGuffin Alt Movie Syndrome. Seeing Michael Branson Smith’s “A Few Not Son Good Men” it struck my the same scene could be MacGuffin’ed the other way. For me, it better fits my loathing of Tom Cruise. And the community service idea connects me to the NoiseProf’s most awesome riff of Shawshanked. So who is going to be the first do do an Animated GIF MacGuffin?

I got MacGuffin fever- it might be this ds106 semester’s animated gif? We all know that collaboration is the way to go, right? We all hold hands, go off to northern canada, and sing tra-la-la-la? ;-) It’s 2011, a ds106 Odyssey! BA….. DA….. DA DA

Been thinking of movies to flip the McGuffin on for this week’s hot ds106 assignment, Messing with the McGuffin: Wikipedia defines the MacGuffin as “a plot element that catches the viewers’ attention or drives the plot of a work of fiction.” For this assignment forever change the plot of a movie, tv show, etc. by changing a single line of dialogue. Put this new line of dialogue below a screen-cap of the moment in the movie you’re changing. So if Luke had just slept off the binge, he would have awoken a happy well adjusted man, not eaten 50 eggs, etc… and we’d have a dull-ass movie. What we have here is a failure to MacGuffin-ate.
