As you came we’ll show you what we do.
Yes, during parts of it!
No, there weren’t, were there?
It was a great line, but I really wanted to see how the title was worked into the movie.
It makes perfect sense in the movie, doesn’t it? He reads the story until he runs out of story and then it keeps going because he’s in the story.
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (No, it was his monster, plus a couple of other monsters.)
Abbott and Costello Go to Mars (No, first they go to New Orleans, then to Venus.)
*Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff * (Karloff’s not a killer, and doesn’t play one in the movie.)
Jaws.
The Crying Game comes to mind.
Yeah, well, imagine how disappointed I was when I went to see this, thinking it would be the sequel.
Oklahoma! was really about some hell-hole cultural wastela…
Oh, um, never mind.
Ooooh, golf clap.
Hillary & Jackie was not about 20th Century US First Ladies.
And Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice had nothing to do with the Kennedys or the Bradys.
X Men was not about boys obsessed with the alphabet.
Fried Green Tomatoes is hardly a movie about the joys of cooking the titular dish. Hardly.
My parents wouldn’t let me see Dr. Strangelove, probably for similar reasons.
The Cars That Ate Paris
It has nothing to do with France. The Paris in the title is a fictional small town in Australia.
And the title seems to imply the people in the town are attacked by cars that have come to life or something like that. Which isn’t the case. They’re just regular cars and it’s the people in the town who are attacking tourists driving through.
I also wonder how many parents dropped their kids off to see A Boy and His Dog, because with that title, what could possibly be objectionable about it…?
The Birdman Of Alcatraz.
Stroud spent almost the whole movie in Leavenworth. And, at the end, when transferred to Alcatraz, he’s forbidden to keep pets.
I thought Deathwatch wasn’t a great title for this film.
Albert Pierrepoint wasn’t Britain’s last hangman. The death penalty continued for several years after he retired.
The actual last executionersin England were Harry Allen and Robert Leslie Stewart.
Well, in the spirit of obscurist pedantry, the title doesn’t mention which country, and is accurate for at least one :- Pierrepoint was Ireland’s last hangman.
(Independent Ireland carried out few executions, and never bothered appointing it’s own hangman. We used to get a British one over as necessary, and Albert performed the last topping, in 1954).
And yes, I know the film didn’t show his Irish activities.
The Shawshank Redemption. What the fuck does that even mean?
