Real movie that couldn’t possibly live up to its title: _Everything You’ve Ever Wanted To Know About Sex And Were Afraid To Ask._ A movie I’ve always wanted to make: _The Return of the Ghost of the Son of Frankenstein’s Bride, Part Two._ ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > I haven’t seen “I Spit on Your Grave,” but the title is a hard act to follow. The working title was The Day of the Woman. But the movie is a masterpiece of a kind, which definitely more than lives up to its title. But that reminds me of another female-revenge movie\* with a great title: _Thriller: Or, They Call Her One Eye._ \*Both of these movies were major influences on _Kill Bill_. ---

**Man of the Century** I only watched about half of that insufferable movie before I turned it off. And since it came out in 1999, it had no chance against, say Hitler (and/or his brain). Fake: Bat Boy in Wonderland ---

> [@Ronald\_C.Semone](#): > > A movie I’ve always wanted to make: _The Return of the Ghost of the Son of Frankenstein’s Bride, Part Two._ At theater camp a few years ago, we came up with _The Son of the Queen of the Flying Bananas, Part II, From Space_. Come to think of that, just _Queen of the Flying Bananas_ would be an awesome title. Especially if you cast the original Queen of Flying Bananas (from another camp of mine), falsetto and all, in the title role. ---

_Krakatoa, East of Java_ could never live up to its title, because of one minor detail… Krakatoa is west of Java. ---

**Children Shouldn’t Play with Dead Things** is one of the most perfect movie titles ever, but alas, the film did not keep up with it. We need an IMAX 3D CGI balls-out extravaganza called **Chimps with Guns**. ---

There’s a movie I see from time to time on my cable channel guide called _Busty Models_. I watched it once. I think the bustiest model I saw had a C cup. _Power Girl v. Silk Spectre I: The Jello Round_. ---

I have a title rattling around in my head, but I don’t know if it’s real or fake. Does anyone know if **Frankenwienie** was ever actually made? ---

[Frankenweenie](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087291/) was one of Tim Burton’s first movies. He’s in the process of remaking it. It’s about a dachshund. ---

Apart from being total crap,“Things to do in Denver when you’re Dead.” For a start he wasn’t dead and it certainly didn’t recommend to me anything that that I might like to enjoy in Denver alive or dead. “Dont Look Now”,well I did look,I had to it was a good movie. And for my fictional movie I offer "Things God doesn’t want you to know!.
