Holy Bob Dylan Song Titles!
Recently watched "Watership Down" for the first time (and have a fwfr pending, of course!), and I have to ask: Has anyone read the book? If so, could you please explain what rabbits moving from field to field and occasionally attacking each other has to do with a submarine accident, as implied in the title????
My only serious guess is that it references the rowboat the cleverer-than-real-life bunnies get into, but that doesn't go down. Is it the name of the field they were in? Oy, it hurts my head!
Whilst on the topic, what other films inspire your migraines when it comes to the titles?
Let's rant! |

Perhaps he was planning on being a cheesemaker in the Bahamas and they misspelled 'way'...
Hey , Cheesemaker in the Bahamas - I smell a franchise here!!
" It was a time of Edam....Emma N Thal was a retired Hitter for the Philly Mob...She retired to the Bahamas to make Cheese ...however someone followed her and raised a stink....he was up to no Gouda! "

On the naked front, what about Naked Lunch? (I know, I know. Ripping off the Simpsons, but it has to be asked does'nt). Oh yeah, I was being a complete dodo when I suggested BTTF in this forum topic. It is a bit like a war in Iraq, just was not thought out at all.
Mampers.

The great RedKate beat you to that pun.

Die Long and Hard?
Upchuck and Die Hard?
Die Hard Day's Night?
Live and Let Die Hard?
Die Hardcastle and McCormick?
Try these two:
Die... oops, too late!
Enough, it's DEAD already!

This got me thinking. What's the deal with film titles that replace words with numbers, as if the film-makers were sending you a text message and coulnd't be @rsed typing the whole title: Cradle 2 the Grave, 2 Fast 2 Furious etc.
Do they think this saves time, or looks cooler to the target market!?!? Are they right!?? Makes me a sad panda... 
I know that line. That is from Sexual Harassament Panda from South Park. On matters on hand, Back To The Future 1. It is not techincally Back to The Future for the majority of the movie, since Marty McFly travels to the 1950's. So techincally it should be called Back To The Past, but it does not sound catchy enough.

Sexual Harassment Panda is one of the best throwaway characters from southpark, his song was brilliant!
I thought 'Speed 2: Cruise Control' was a particularly groansome pun for a movie set on a boat, or should i say a turkey set on a boat.
And why was 'Pretty Woman' called 'Pretty Woman'? By that logic, every movie Jennifer Connelly has ever made could be called 'Gorgeous Woman'... ah, Jennifer... (if you're reading this, call me!)

Actually, the goal is to get back from 1955 to 1985, thus get back to the future. This is even a line in the film said by Doc. |
