I watched an awful Christian propaganda flick by Michael Landon Jr. called The Last Sin Eater. It tricks the viewer into thinking it is actually good by starting out as the trials and tribulations of a suicidal young girl who may have murdered her own sister in mid 19th century Appalachia attempting to get her sins mystically devoured by a Sin Eater. Unfortunately, it turns unwatchable about halfway through and becomes even worse as we learn that the older citizens of the little mountain village committed genocide several years ago and yet they somehow end up getting their guilt washed away by converting the Protestant Christianity and everyone lives happily ever after.
I rewrote it so that after the PCs successfully convert the Sin Eater cult to Protestant Christianity, an act with relieves their unbearable guilt, the ghosts of the innocent Native Americans they exterminated, angry that the villagers' moral suffering has been relieved, rise up and slaughter them all while pretty much leaving the PCs alone. Really, the Last Sin Eater has potential but it is just one of those movies that would be better if angry ghosts killed everyone in a horrifically slow and painful manner. |

Damn, and here I was actually considering seeing that one. |

Nope, wasn't me. Unless you really liked it (since this thread is about plagiarizing) then I will steal credit. :D |

You can safely watch it up to the point where the little girl stops being suicidal. Until then it is good. After that, it goes downhill fast. |

Naw, I'm too much of a completionalist, if I stopped watching if partway through I'd just feel dirty about myself. :cyber:

It may have been mentioned before in another thread (or even in this one - I just skimmed it), but . . .
Payback with Mel Gibson Robbing a Triad to buy into the Mafia is a great storyline and the scenes in the first part of the movie where Porter rebuilds himself with some skillful pickpocketing, credit fraud, and fencing really showcase the sort of talents a street character would need. |

Also may have already been mentioned, but I think "Silence of the Lamb" would make a great cyberpunk plotline as well, with the characters either being paid by a grieving ex/Lonestar Detective or are being used by the prep to track down suitable women.
