Binge punning.
For a variety of reasons, I can’t really explain on a public web page the full origins of the epic list that follows. It’s the collected efforts of myself and a couple of friends from work inspired by a certain former workmate and that’s about as much as I can say. The truth is stranger than any fiction I could concoct.
So in the meantime, imagine if every film director in the world was an inveterate alcoholic, plagued with visions of the demon drink wherever he or she went. I’d like to think that it would result in the following great canon of movies. And yes, we did get a bit carried away.
