Au pair
Aw, geez, I thought you guys would want to come out to play. So, what, did your mom tell you never to take puns from a stranger?
Uh, okay, I’m done. But I’m going to give it one last try.
Drawing on a much less proud tradition, for today’s game all you have to do is to combine two or more movie titles, to end up with something like this (only better):
Twelve angry men and a baby
Bringing down the house of sand and fog
8 1/2: cheaper by the dozen
The petrified forest Gump
The lion king and I Claudius
A few good men in black
A shark’s tale of two cities
The third man who wasn’t there
Dressed to kill a mockingbird
Allez, go.

Thanks to Textile, all you have to do is place an underscore at either end of the text you want in italics.
For bold, it’s an asterisk on either end.
