> [@Tengu](#): > > Men in Back. (Wouldn’t be surprised if someone’s used that as a porn title already…) A search of adultfilmdatabase (not linking because, well, it’s a porn title database) did reveal “Black Men In Black.” (Plus “Men In Black Chicks” and “Men In Black Leather”) No “Men In Back,” or for that matter the joke title that I always assumed would be made, “Men In Black Men.” ---

The late, great Brandon Lee in: **The Cow** “People once believed that when someone dies, a Cow carries their soul to the land of the dead, but sometimes something so bad happens that a terrible sadness is carried with it and the soul can’t rest. Then sometimes, just sometimes, the Cow can bring the soul back and put the wrong things right” Mooooo! ---

**Hedwig and the Angry Inc** - Transgendered rockstar goes up against an evil corporation. The real life Erin Brockovich has a cameo. **A Knight’s Ale** - I’m sure that Round Table can hold many a tankard. **Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Tone** - “‘Everyone pick their favorite tune,’ said Dumbledore, ‘and off we go!’” (HPSS, US version, p. 127) …not to mention that next in the series will be the currently-shooting **Harry Potter and the Goblet of Ire** , in which Harry must fight the contents of a very angry cup from which Voldemort once drank. **Snow White and the Seen Dwarves** - The Disney version didn’t notice any of those OTHER dwarves lurking in the shadows. Like Stabby or Drunky. **My Far Lady** - Henry Higgins WOULD transform a cockney girl into a proper lady, if only she weren’t living on the other side of England. **Interview With The Ampire** - An electrifying primary-source documentary. (If only there wasn’t that pesky misspelling) [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/drop-one-letter-off-the-sign-and-change-the-movie-title/294617.md?page=3) [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/drop-one-letter-off-the-sign-and-change-the-movie-title/294617.md?page=5)
