Build a movie plot around this: What does Dr. Herbert Talley think the claw came from? A giant squid.
Ans: A rustic Afghan village in a dry, rocky terrain. The villagers look up to the sound of jet airplanes, explosions rock the hillside and buildings and a group of three tanks approach, firing and destroying more of the village. People and goats run for their lives. An Afghan man fires an anti-tank round but misses. Women pelt and hammer a tank with stones until a yellow smoke canister is deployed, the poison gas drives off the Afghans. The gas-masked soldiers get out and continue to ransack the village.Major Daskal (George Dzundza) a tank commander exits and fires his machine gun at another tank being attacked. Koverchenko (Jason Patric) runs to aid the other tank. An Afghan elder is captured and dragged to Daskal's tank and placed under the tread.

As the women wail the village elder is crushed.The three tanks depart but Maj Daskal's tank misses a left turn and heads into an area surrounded by high ridges. Back in the village the menfolk return to see the destruction. Taj Mohammed (Stephen Bauer) is distraught and laments to his uncle Akbar (Kabir Bedi). A group of modern rebels arrive on motorbikes, led by Taj's cousin, Moustafa (Chaim Girafi) with his Ray-Bans, AK-47 and cigarettes. Moustafa reports the tank is lost in the valley of the jackals. Taj is now the village Khan as it was his elder brother who was crushed.

Build a movie plot around this: Where did the dying Grendel tell his mother what was done to him? his cave
Ans: Movie opens up with a celebration in the Great Hall of Heorot, built by Hrothgar (Anthony Hopkins), king of the Danes. The Danes are celebrating the completion of the Hall, and theyre really boozing it up and partying quite loudly. Booziest of all is Hrothgar himself quite inebriated, half-naked, slurring his words and barely able to keep his balance. He's somewhat repulsive and a bit of an embarrassment to his young wife, Queen Wealthow (Robin Wright Penn).The revelers begin to chant, pounding the ground in time with the chanting. The camera pulls away from the Hall, to the snowy hills surrounding the kingdom, where the chanting and thumping have died out and all is silent. Finally, we pull into a cave miles away, where the chanting and thumping are suddenly heard at an almost unbearably loud level. We hear something in the cave screaming in pain, as if the noise is too much for it to bear.Back to Heorot, where after-hours are still rocking full-blast. The large wooden entrance doors are blasted off their hinges, the halls torches blow out, and the hearth in the middle of the hall erupts in eerie blue flames. People start wigging, as we hear same the something from the cave screaming right outside Heorot's doorway. As the Danes gird their loins and take up arms, the creature enters.It's huge, about 15 feet tall and vaguely humanoid in appearance, but clearly not all human. Its misshapen, deformed, and appears to have, instead of ears, some highly sensitive pads that serve as hearing organs. The screaming of the Danes seems to hurt the creatures ears and, enraged, he begins to tear the revelers apart, literally.Eventually, the creature makes his way to Hrothgar, who, to his credit, didn't run away in a drunken panic, but held his ground. The King demands that the monster fight him, but the creature is unafraid. It simply takes a long almost quizzical look at Hrothgar and abruptly withdraws.Back at his cave, the monster is chastised by his mother for killing men. We don't see his mother, though we catch...

Build a movie plot around this: Where is Yu Ming? Ireland
Ans: Yu Ming is bored out of his skull. He's stuck in a dead-end job in China, tending a store for a grumpy grocer, and wonders where his life is going. On a whim he goes to the library, spins a globe with his eyes closed and jabs his finger on a random spot, which turns out to be Ireland. His atlas tells him all about the country, including the fact that the official language is Irish, so Yu Ming gets himself some audio tapes and goes about learning the language of Ireland.Six months later, he flies to Dublin, checks into a local hostel and asks for a bed with "Ba mhaith liom leaba." [I'd like a bed.] The Australian clerk has no idea what he's saying, but with the help of another resident is able to determine that Yu Ming would like a place to stay.Yu Ming goes out for dinner, and we see him struggling with knife and fork, which he has never used. It's too many for him, but he's a clever lad and comes up with an elegant work-around. Poor Yu Ming has disovered that nobody understands a word he's saying, and assumes that his language skills are at fault. He goes into a bar and tells the bartender "Taim ag lorg obair" [I'm looking for work]. The barkeep responds, "No, we haven't got any of that, how about a Guinness?" At the end of his wits, Yu Ming explains [in Irish] that he's just arrived in the country and he's sorry his Irish isn't better. The blank stares he encounters seem to spell doom for Yu Ming's aspirations until an older gentleman at the bar says to him, "Suigh sios, a bhuachill, agus ceannoidh me dioch duit." [Sit down, son, and I'll buy you a drink.]Delighted to find someone he can understand, he sits down and the man asks him his name. He answers proudly, "Yu Ming is ainm dom" [my name is Yu Ming], whence the title of the film. He tells the old man that he just arrived in Ireland yesterday, but he thinks it was a mistake, because nobody understands his Irish. The gentleman explains to him that he speaks Irish better than most of the people in the country, and educates Yu Ming to the fact that Irish...
