Twitter user OrgoFlash started a Twitter meme with the question: "If someone made #ChemistryTheMovie, what would it be called? Ferrocene Bueller's Day Off? Boron the 4th of July?"
I was having dinner when it started so missed the first few, but jumped in as soon as I could with:
The Adventures of Tin
When Hydrogen Met Sulfur 2: The Stink
I'll benzene you
The Iron Lady
Xenon: Warrior Princess
Police A Cadmium 2
Conan the Barium
Amyl Hall
Methylate the Fockers
Boron the 4th of July (Yes, I'd missed that this was the first one!)
ChemistryWorld ran with "Naphtha the friendly ghost", Catherine Goddard did "The Elementalist" and "Cadmium Shack", Jean-Louis Bontront, "Attack of the Chromes". Simon Lancaster bonded with "Close Encounters of the Non-covalent Kind" and "The Bourne Haber Cycle".
Declan Fleming had "Chasing Amine" and "The Li Ion King". OrgoFlash later came up with "No country for old Mn". ChemJobber had "My Best Fluorine's Bonding" and "When Hydrogen Met Selenium". Kathryn Harkup gave us: "For me and my Gallium", "The Wizard of Osmium", "David Copperfield", "Thallium and Louise" and "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" and many others. Bridget Fauteux offered "Me, Myself and Pyrene". Rob Stockman came up with several including: "The Life of Boron". Adam Azman had "How to Lose a Gallium in 10 Days" and others. It ran and ran and ran and still is #chemistrythemovie.
