This has been done on the scale of entire mathematics and CS papers:

Indeed, the creators of SCIgen have amused themselves by presenting randomly generated papers at conferences.

I love this, it reminded me of Crime Cops [1]. The best part is that actual screenwriters might come across this while searching for tech dialog and not realise it's satire. Then again, it wouldn't be much different from the stuff Hollywood currently uses.

Funny, but it's just a mad lib. Saw another one for mathematics jargon: http://theproofistrivial.com/

Would be more interesting to see if you could do this by feeding a learning algorithm the terrible one-liners from real movies.
