Bruce Willis Goes to the Zoo, and Then Some Other Stuff Happens
It is a beautiful, sunshiny day. Bruce Willis has gone to the zoo for a delightful day of watching otters and petting zebras (screw fences. This is Bruce Willis. He will climb into the motherfucking zebra pen if he wants). He's got one leg over the fence, and Zed the Grevy's Zebra is eyeing him with interest when he hears a scream from the vicinity of the reptile house. He drops back down to the ground and goes running, just as the reptile house explodes in a burst of light. He charges in, and through the smoke, he sees the faint outline of a young girl. "Don't worry, I'll save you!" he yells, running towards her. Once they're safely outside, he sets her down and surveys the situation.
"Thanks Bruce," Miley says, straightening her mussed hair. "Man, this shit never happens to Hannah."
*Meanwhile, on the other side of the zoo*
"Blast!" Pogo the Penguin yells, setting down his binoculars. "Our plan has been foiled! Pete, call the Jonas Brothers. This means war!"

The best film, by far, was "License to Drive". It not only features "Get Out Of My Dreams, Get Into My Car" by Billy Ocean, but it also stars a young Heather Graham. Also, neither Corey even HAD their license at the time of filming this movie. Lastly, Ben Affleck tried out for a role, and was denied. 'Nuff said.
