It is standard in Hollywood to get all the information about new scripts down to the shortest possible summary. Many times people refer to other movies when describing what script they have or are working on. It's mostly phrased as the following:

(INSERT MOVIE) meets (INSERT MOVIE)

a more detailed example for probably the biggest blockbuster idea ever:

HARRY POTTER meets TRANSFORMERS.

My friend Suds and I were discussing how often people use that format to describe new scripts and how ridiculous it is. So we in turn discovered some other phrases we'd like to see happen in Hollywood by using said example above.

1. HP brushes past TRANSFORMERS
2. HP meets TRANSFORMERS for the second time but can't remember TRANSFORMERS name and so refers to TRANSFORMERS as "you" for the rest of their exchange.
3. HP takes TRANSFORMERS out to dinner, TRANSFORMERS thought it was just friends, HP thought otherwise. TRANSFORMER then never returns HP's calls.
4. HP awkwardly hits on TRANSFORMERS in a bar.
5. HP borrows TRANSFORMERS car and goes for joy ride a la FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF.

So we encourage this new unnecessary system. Please feel free to add and change it. Let it grow...

I'm pretty sure that "HP punches TRANSFORMERS in the face" should added to that list.

HARRY POTTER sincerely forgives TRANSFORMERS for the sexual abuse inflicted upon HP but, due to financial difficulties, and the egging-on of greedy relatives, HP decides to file suit against TRANSFORMERS in a court of law
