Hi, puzzlers!
Today is the first Sunday of the month which means it's Potluck Puzzle Sunday! Anyone who wants to bring a puzzle, post it in the comments and I'll add it to the puzzle. Juliecrostics, one-offs, whatever you like, bring it to the table!
To get us started, jump over the scoop of potluck potato salad:
Last week, I posted some Lost in Translation puzzles to the Sunday Puzzle Placeholder diary. A Lost in Translation puzzle is where you take the name of a movie, use Babelfish to translate it into another language and then translate it back to English. Two of them were solved, but there are three more. All of these are in theaters now, and I translated them into German and back again.
1: Wild (solved! Savages)
2: Intensification of the revolution (solved! Step Up Revolution)
3: You was invented have
4: The appearance
5: As Touched by Thunder
