To be more precise, it seems that Giles has blundered into a secret passageway into the brain of Z.S., and then tricked Z.S. to enter that passageway himself.[1]
It's not clear at this point exactly what kind of passageway Jeremy has entered.

The buffalo thing is an old linguistics thing. You can make a whole
sentence just from the word buffalo.
It was actually used in a blog post recently by somebody who was
pointing out that just because something conforms to a language's
technical requirements for a sentence does not actually make it a
coherent sentence, and using that to explain why confobfuscated code
is a Bad Thing.

or is there a subtlety I missed?
As such things go, immediately after I posted I noticed some glitches
in the output that I had overlooked... 
Changing the last line to the following produces the intended output.
p x.tr('M','Z').gsub(/arklar/,'edhsaw').gsub(/\bme/,'ze').scan(/Ze\w+,\s+th.*,\s+or\s+z\w+s./m)

No, the whole point is to do it in Ruby.

OK, do it in Ruby, and then tell everybody you're going to kick their ass.

Yes. Unless we make it the next ruby quiz to query imdb.com

Is there a database of movie titles readily available somewhere?

Well, it shouldn't be too hard in principle -- they have complete pages
of just movie titles broken up by year and initial letter.
(Where initial is one of 'A'..'Z' or '*')
The main difficulty is normalizing titles where initial articles have
been moved to the end, and doing so in a language-insensitive way.
However, I think the nice people at imdb.com would frown on someone (let
alone lots of someones) mining hundreds of thousands of movie titles this
way, so I was wondering if there was a reasonably large corpus of titles
precompiled somewhere which we could use instead.
Of course, we could always just write the scripts anyway and pretend
we had a more accessible database of titles to work from.
