Saw:

The phone is ringing. The screams of your family emanate faintly from it as you reach feebly for it.

>TAKE OFF SHIRT

You take it off.

>USE SHIRT AS A TOURNIQUET; SAW OFF LEG; SCREAM UNINTELLIGABLY;GET GUN;LOAD GUN;SHOOT VOYEUR

Man, that would be great.

I watched Phantoms last night and had this thread in mind for most of the first half of the movie.

There was a moment when Ben Afleck opened up a car bonnet to look at the engine, the engine was trashed and he looked at it and said "The engine looks like it's been flattened with an industrial presser" (or something similar), which just sounded like the result of an 'examine' command.

If I were rich, I would love to spend my days creating obsessive artifacts like that. Trying to think of other works that could be recreated in a similar fashion...
