In another thread, someone brilliantly referred to the TV series *Awake *as My Two Deads, which will always be its title to me. Over on the Television Without Pity site, they are calling Julian Fellowes’ *Titanic *miniseries Drownton Abbey.
I remember calling Barbra Streisand’s A Star is Born by the OP title, and her The Mirror Has Two Faces became The Camera has Two Filters.
Any other clever, nasty title take-downs you can remember?
I’m surprised you didn’t come up with Howard Hughes’s The Outlaw being called The Sale of Two Titties.
I used to refer to “Sex in the City” as My Friend Flicka. “Deadwood” was always The Cocksucker Chronicles.
Well, of course there’s Christopher Plummer’s coinage, “The Sound of Mucus”.
These have probably already been used by Mad Magazine.
Star Drek
Matin’ Place
Flee
More from Mad:
Loused Up in Space
Bananas (for Bonanza)
*The Mess of Adrian Lissinger *
My wife coined one of my favorites: “Long, Actually”
Mad had all kinds of great titles. Some of my favorites:
Jur-ass-has-had-it Park. (For Jurassic Park)
Botch Casually and the Somedunce Kid.
Star Roars Epicload I: The Fandumb Mega-mess.
The Odd Father.
The Odd Father Part, Too.
Jaw’d.
Jaw’d, Too.
Clod Encounters of the Absurd Kind.
Also, all of their Star Trek parodies have gone by the title of “Star Blecch.”
Star Blecch: The Next Degradation.
Star Blecch: Deep Space Swine.
Star Blecch: Voyeur.
Star Blecch II: The Wreck of Korn.
Star Blecch III: The Search for Plot.
Star Blecch IV: The Voyage Bombs.
Star Blecch V: The Farcical Frontier.
Star Blecch IV: The Uninspired Continuation.
I could go on and on.
Not a clever pun, but I heard more than once Avatar being referred to as Dances with Smurfs.
*Ha! *See, that is brilliant. Puns not nec.
She’s Got Mail
Braveheart II - The Patriot
You know that series about the plane crash on the uncharted island. Did it leave any mysteries unexplained or plot points unresolved? LOTS.
Han So Low, Luke Streetwalker, Princess Lay Orgasma, and many others were involved in a movie called “Star Whores.”
The OP probably doesn’t want the porn pun titles, do they?
Lord of the G-Strings (this one was actually kind of funny)
Sex Trek-The Next Penetration
Penocchio (it’s not his nose that grows!)
After **Ishtar **was lambasted as being an awful, expensive flop, Kevin Costner came out with Waterworld, which I heard referred a few times…as Fishtar.
The 1946 flick “Duel In The Sun” was often referred to as “Lust in the Dust” (way before the Divine comedy came out), due to its overwrought just-below-the-surface sexual tension. Fairly snarky, for the 40’s.
Roddy

Kelsey Grammar’s comedy about a navy submarine crew - “Down Periscope, Up Chuck”
There was an amusing thread on the SDMB where everyone came up with names for the just-announced Indiana Jones movie, all of course ripping on Harrison Ford’s age.
Raiders of the Lost AARP was my favorite.
Stephen Frears’ excellent film Prick Up Your Ears is generally referred to by the laziest and most prurient anagram ever, in our household. (Not sure if that counts as snark, though, as it is likely the intent of the author.)
