Boring Film Challenge: Remove 1 Letter From A Film Title To Make The Most Boring Story Ever.
I got sent a WhatsApp message from brother today and in it was a game-type-challenge-thing: you have to remove one letter from the title of a film to make it the most boring story ever. For example: "Casper the friendly host"
