'Making Movies Betters By Subtracting One Letter' Is Still One Of The Best Things To Come Out Of The Internet

Sometimes a thread on Reddit takes on a life of it's own. That seems to be what happened when people began to make movies 'better' by removing one letter from the title. People have been doing this for a while, but one man took it to the next level when he began to draw the movie posters for new names. He ended up with a bunch of fans who wanted to buy his work, and even landed himself a book deal!

The book is available now and is pretty amazing. Some of his original illustrations are still available on Imgur so you can get a little preview of what he does. By subtracting one letter from the title of popular movies, the entire plot is changed which obviously means a new poster and a synopsis are added in for fun.

A Behind-The-Scenes Look At The New Aladdin Is Here And At Least One Of Our Wishes Was Granted

We've been waiting patiently, okay mostly patiently, since Disney announced that Aladdin was being remade. The cartoon remains one of the most iconic movies of all time, and the fact that they were going to try and bring it to life with real humans instead of the animated versions was kind of concerning. We saw the first trailer a while ago, but the only character we actually saw up close was Aladdin himself. We didn't see how the Genie looked, or Jasmine, or any of the other characters.

Tim Allen Reveals The Original Plan For 'The Santa Clause' Was Way Too Dark For Disney

We've all seen The Santa Clause at least a dozen times, right? It's a Christmas classic and ever since it was released, it has become a staple in our holiday movie schedule. There's something about the movie that manages to keep that Christmas feeling without being way too over the top or corny. I mean, sure, Tim Allen literally becomes Santa, but somehow it all feels like that's totally plausible. The sequels may not have the same realistic feeling, but the original remains iconic. However, Allen just revealed that the original plan for the movie was a lot darker than
