It’s one of those ideas that just works: pick a film, any film. Now condense its plot into a three panel comic strip using Paint or an equivalent art package. Use stick-men or photographs or screen captures or paintbrushes but, whatever you use, try to communicate something witty, profound or pithy about a 90 minute film in a 5 second comic.

Finally upload the strip for others to see, critique and vote on. Tell your friends and repeat until all films have been covered.

The site (only two days or so old) has all the right ingredients in just the right quantities to make an Internet niche blockbuster: Almost anybody can join in; films can be neatly filtered alphabetically, by user or by peer voted score and, moreover, it’s just a really good idea. You’re only limited by your imagination, ideas and, obviously, three small, blank squares.

Visit the site here have a giggle and then try some of your own out. I’ve been doing about one a day and, as well as being a serious mind-space squatter, it’s also really a lot of fun. You’ll probably think so too.
