Update: “Awesome Infographic: Music Metaphors, Simplified” — Redux!
It’s fascinating that I still keep getting hits on this post originally going live in July:
So a few weeks back, I posted this from FlavorWire: “Awesome Infographic: Music Metaphors, Simplified.” Here’s the graph:
I asked “How about something similar for movies? Suggestions?” We got a lot. Here are a few:
Jon Molly said… Perdition: Road
Mike Dachuk said… The Future — Back, The Planet of the Apes — Return
emily said… Oz: Yellow Brick Road
Jon Molly said… Come to think of it, the better one for movies might just be a chart demonstrating who goes where. To whit -
Mr. Deeds : Town
Mr. Smith : Washington
Medea : Jail
Bill and Ted : Hell
Earnest : Camp/Jail/School/Africa
But most folks stuck with the music theme and there were some terrific ones:
Ben said… Desert: Horse with no name
chuck said… Out of here: fast car
Mike Dachuk said… Your Door — The Long and Winding Road
danielt3 said… Just “Leaving” — On a Jet Plane
flipswitch5point said… To fall down at your door: Walk 500 miles then 500 more
acrobatsausages said… Destination: Off the rails / Means: Crazy Train

How to get there: Airplane
strawberry5 said… over it: bridge
InternetNinjacy said… Love Shack: A Chrysler as big as a whale. / Danger Zone: Highway.

I think we’ve just scratched the surface both re music and movies.
The list has grown with these suggestions:

wombat1138 said… Levee: Chevy / Paradise: Dashboard Light

And now some recent suggestions:
Jon Molly said… Dinner: Guess Who
Gregaria said… The Wild : Into / The Center of the Earth : Journey / Utopia : The Road
Glenn Hauman said… West Virginia: Country Road
Squall said… Bangkok : Passage
