The many elements of film creation – cinematography, editing, sound, script – can often disguise the fact that a film’s plot, at its very core, is a tad underwhelming…

Last week, REDROMINA, a filmmaker and author, assigned Twitter a simple, yet unexpectedly difficult, task – to describe the plot of famous films in the most boring way possible. The tweet amassed over 50k comments, with the dull, sleep-inducing descriptions arriving in droves.

Can you describe your favorite movie as boring as possible?
