If You Watch _________ Backwards...

First thing first, this idea is definitely not mine, it is actually sixdoublefive654's posted on reddit but I think that more people needs exposure to this idea.

I've been saying this quote a few times at school: "If you watch the movie `Jaws' backwards, it's a movie about a shark that keeps throwing up people until they have to open a beach." Now if you think about it, it actually is quite true, along with the obvious consequences of thinking that Americans all of sudden all starting speaking Pig Latin.

Then you start to think about where the "If you _______ ______ backwards" concept applies and suddenly, almost a huge plethora of items pop up. I shall list some obvious ones:

  • If you watch 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' backwards, it's about a person who likes to date younger woman as he gets older. Also, it still doesn't make that much sense with one person going with the normal time continuum and the rest going against it...

  • If you read Twilight backwards (this is based upon my imagination of what happens as I never read it before...), a girl with his boyfriends got into a family feud which resulted in the girl being single.


  • If you play Brawl backwards, you see people flying in from the sky, fight for a bit, then teleport to some random place. Then come flying back again till they all appear at once and stop fighting and wait to be teleported.
Now there's a few ideas for the struggling movie industry which recently stated that it's making a movie based on the Battleship board game. Ludicrous.

p.s. I would like either 1. Jaw's Backwards t-shirt or 2. Sudo Comic from xkcd shirt for my birthday/Christmas. :)
