Before I really understood the point of "5 Second Movies" or who created them, I just thought it was a random YouTube meme and tried to contribute. I didn't realized that the originals were made by Doug Walker, of whom I am a big fan. I also thought the point was to literally compress the movie to a 5 second chunk. The real point, however, is to show a clip from a movie, then a second clip that shows how the first is ironic in a funny way. The videos are almost never 5 seconds long. In any case, my 5 second version of Airplane! showed, in order, the title screen, the "shit hitting the fan," and the ending title. It was dumb, and it totally missed the point.
