# I'm sure that's never come up
is there some kind of link people could follow to determine what these rules and/or guidelines might be?

# again with the pedantry...
It's not mash up two names its redo one film poster, in the style of another, i.e. Finding Nemo in the style of Jaws.

Come on B3ta, we can do this thought thing

# Isn't this "There's something about Mary"
in the style of Dirty harry?

# unless "there's something about mary" was released under the title
"Dirty Mary" in Canada, then no, not really. It's a pedantry point, but I'm fairly sure the point of the compo is to make the film from which the style is taken recognisable purely due to the style,r ather than by jamming words into the title of the subject film.

Edit: that said, it's very well done and I like it, I just don't think it's compo-y.

# I think you mean
"...it's a pedantic point..."

# you have one point
if you get to five hundred points I will drive to your home town and buy you a drink of your choice, within reason.

# It says Dirty Mary, unless that's a porno starring Cameron Diaz with teh same hair as in the comedy
I thought the point was it was still called "Finding Nemo", just done as the Jaws gob underneath the swimmer type thing.

# I take your point actually
i misread the instruction as including mashup the title.

# awww, don't be nice about it
now I feel like a cunt.

has anyone got a spare one?

# To be honest...
I'm not adverse to the guidelines being bent as long as

a) some effort's gone into it
b) it's amusing
and
c) they don't pea in a new post

Two out of three aint bad

I'd rather things like this than just changing the name on a poster, which I fear will happen a lot, but its within the guidelines of the compo

# true
the actual shop job is rather well done, and I have failed to mention this in my mouth-frothing lust to correct minor perceived errors.

I shall correct this posthaste.

# I'm inclined to agree with you here
and to be fair, the word "mashup" in the title of the challenge is a little misleading. I know people should read the whole thing, but none of us are here because we have long attention spans, are we!

# plus mashup films was a previous challenge
so it encourages the peas

# Indeed it does
but any movie poster challenge is going to do that.

I am being unusually sanguine today, I must have swine flu or something.
