The <insert word> title is kinda annoying as a trend ngl. Just make it one word or a few worlds. Imagine if Lord of the Rings were called "The Ring"? It would probably be a lot scarier with way more wet hair.
the virgin American "The <word>" minimalist title vs the chad Japanese "Let me just give you the entire plot summary in a giant run-on sentence so you know exactly what you're getting yourself in"
I too love "quiet man who delivers newspapers before dawn and never sees anyone and then his uncle dies and he inherits a small Ramen shop and learns the joy of socializing and cooking for others"
Such a heartwarming flick.
To be fair titles like: "That time was run over by a car and woke up with an underage harem" are obnoxious as hell too
That time when i was a peasant boy in belarus who joined the soviet partisans in the summer of 1943 and saw horrors beyond human recognition
Why didn't Florya get a harem at the end? Stupid commies don't know how to make movies
The Saw franchise was a mistake.
Seriously though - the "short as possible" trend is crazy. About 30 minutes after I started this thread - I saw the horror movie title Clock. For movie stuff - I'm going to have to google because however ridiculous I think my joke is - show business reality could trump it. Now I can't make a bad joke in a megathread like "I'm looking forward to the movie Clock which is a horror movie about a clock. Other stuff happens - I think. Maybe? But the clock itself is the main arc."
I wonder if Table is still kosher for a joke. Does a movie with that title exist? Ninja edit: According to Imdb I still have a chance to make a joke. So far.
Lmao, now I am imaging a film where it's narrated by a melancholy table like "Johnny Get Your Gun" but it's like "they won't even cover me with a cloth. My wood grain is exposed." "The microwaved soup bowl scalds me, why don't they let it cool on the counter, he is an asshole who deserves it! He is always bragging about having a sink. Why wasn't I built with a sink. I'd drown myself in it."
they won’t even cover me with a cloth.
Rated R if not pushing the envelope for an X.
You're just plain old naughty.
The 1996 movie starts out with that eerie electric guitar duet and then the beginning features a sex scene and Deborah Kara Unger is beyond beautiful. Your friend was certainly confused and wondering why the movie had a zero LA vibe and it felt oddly like a horror movie.
And when the more direct creepiness started - he might have even said "What the hell is this!" out loud.
Keri Russel is the one from The Americans right? That was an entertaining show.
Yes and yes.
Last year I went to the Imdb page for the 2023 tv series The Diplomats and I put it on my "skip it" list. But hours ago I got confused because I knew the series didn't have Keri Russel. If it did - I'd be interested. So I went to Imdb and I learned that I had gone to an Imdb page for one of the two 2023 tv series with exactly the same title.
"Alright compromise, neither of us get to use the definite article, let's just call both A Diplomat"
I dunno. The studios of both movies could use
The adjective noun. I know it's "wordy" but they would be unique - at least for few decades or so.Oh sorry, I meant a show called "Material Conditions". It has the ability to be a double entendre, like a commentary on Marx and maybe they work in some material supply warehouse getting in hijinks.
