Sounds like someone’s OCD caught hold and drove them totally berserk to even ATTEMPT something like this.

Obsessive-Compulsive should be Compulsive-Obsessive to keep it in proper alphabetical order.

If he’d done this to Battlefield Earth it might have been watchable.

I prefer the Pink Floyd version.

Kept them off the streets, probably.

Might be a good thing.

I’m surprised he jumps around chronologically. In the “and” section he has scenes on the balloon before Dorothy even gets to Oz. Perhaps that is where the “artistry” comes in.

Pretty funny - the dog is just barking. “arf”

This is a shower idea. You don’t actually DO it!

He has this much free time and decides to do...that?

I have precious little free time, and I have learned its value.

(And yes, FReeping is an acceptable use of rare spare time.)

Well, everybody has to have a hobby, I suppose. But, good grief. This is a flippant idea seen all the way through to completion. An exercise in futility? Handy if you want to know how many times the word “sulfur” is used in the film. It was once, by the way.

I gave up before the end of the “A”s

But did note that “apricot” is only used once in the movies.

If you turn down the sound and simotaiously play Pink Floyd’s “The Final Cut” you can see a midget who hung himself on one scene, wait, let me get my bong..be right back...

Oh, I skipped ahead. I would have poked my eyes out if I watched any longer.

What kind of program do you need to convert the shooting script into an alphebetical production such as this? Another thing is how do you convert a video into alphebitizing every single word uttered in the movie. Once that’s been done, it’s another bear to actually edit the thing into this watchable form. This production had to be maddening to complete. Whoever did this must be in a facility to help get over their insanity.

Still, it’s a neat thing to see. What flick will get the same treatment?

I was rid of that particular desire by the time I reached "because."
