Kim Kardashian's Private Island Birthday Celebration Becomes a Meme
10/27/2020 08:02 pm EDT
'Lost'
TV writer Michael Schur — known for shows like Parks and Rec, The Office and The Good Place — imposed Kardashian's tweet on a promo photo from Lost. Appropriately, many readers were confused and upset by Kardashian's tweet, as well.
Ahch-To
Star Wars fans added Kardashian's text to an image of the planet Ahch-To, the home of the ancient Jedi temple where Rey trained with Luke Skywalker in Episode VIII — The Last Jedi. Here, Kardashian's "inner circle" was replaced with the Lanai, the native people who protect and maintain the ancient Jedi temple grounds.
'Wicker Man'
Author Joe Hill dug deep to use Kardashian's caption on an iconic image from The Wicker Man — the original, not the remake with Nicolas Cage. In a twist with horrific implications, he added: "I was the special guest of honor!"
Leo
Journalist Hunter Harris applied Kardashian's tweet to photos of Leonardo DiCaprio on his infamous trips with groups of younger women. She even carried the joke on with multiple tweets — and multiple pictures of DiCaprio in action.
'Midsommar'
One of the most apt comparisons for Kardashian's tweet was the movie Midsommar, with screenshots to match. Although the movie wasn't set on an island, the surreal and gradual turn from vacation mode to survival mode seemed to match.
'Jurassic Park'
There have been plenty of Jurassic Park references throughout the coronavirus pandemic, but Kardashian's tweet may have been the best opportunity fans have had yet. Many have said that, after seeing the world's reaction to coronavirus safety measures, they "understand" now why the characters kept reopening the doomed theme park in these movies.
'Castaway'
Finally, film critic David Ehrlich may have hit the nail on the head with a simple image of Wilson, the personified volleyball from Castaway alongside Kardashian's tweet. For many people in isolation, the image hits closer to home than ever before.
