I'm a thief
I stole this idea from Dan. Unabashedly.
He took a movie synopsis and ran it through Google's translation tool to a foreign language and then ran it back to English and wanted to see if people could guess the correct movie.
I'm doing something similar, but just using the AOLer Translator.
So, here are the snyopses of five movies in AOL speak. Can you guess them all?

Amanda, shit. Maybe next time I should run it through the AOLer and then translate it into Spanish, German, then English.
Kylah, thank Jeebus you don't talk like that.
BPR, I figured it might take a little longer than the first 15 minutes the post is up.
Hello, yeah, this might be too hard to read for those of you "older" folks.
Poppy, empanada?
Tori, yeah. Sigh.
Karen, you got it! How'd you know?
Neil, I know I would have been more interested in it.
Aunt Robin, a picture of my testicles.
Kapgar, I think I'm going to hear that all day long now.

I think Waterworld works better taking NetFlix's description and Japanesing it via Altavista's Babelfish translator:
The planet of the terrestrial liquid which can do the polar cap ice in the world of the Futurism which dissolved, (Jeanne Tripplehorn) as for the beautiful hostess to rescue the sailor of the mutation body from the jail of the floating atoll, (cabin Costner). Those escape, fullness and Enola where she is young (Tina Majorino) and also with from that trimaran navigate separated. But the torio the menace pirate who directly desires tattooed map "dry area" in the back section of Enola (Dennis's hopper) becomes the target.
That's right – fear Dennis's hopper. I don't know what it is, and I don't want to know.

You of all people could have picked at least a few challenging movies.
The Japanese translator is fun while the AOL version is just annoying.

I think I might do this but with Jive. The Dialectizer does Jive translations mighty fine.
I'll have to find a way to make it uniquely Waynerized so I don't get charged with Grand Theft Bloggo.
