| The idea is not bad, and some of the clues are clever, but many are not synonyms even in the loosest sense (Asia = Africa? Eagle = Cuckoo? 2010 = 2001? come on.) The silliest is Sierra Madre = Mierra Sadre, when you had the obviously preferable alternative of translating to Mother Mountain. The inconsistencies in the logic are also annoying: sometimes a name is kept (Kwai, Zhivago), sometimes it is clued (Kane, Oz), sometimes simply changed to a different, vaguely related one (Smith, Eve) and sometimes left out of the clue altogether (Schindler). |
