Here, here, **NoCoolUserName**! Deathworld … Stainless Steel Rat … …Hammer’s Slammers… Any Honor Harrington novel. Other than that, the sex titles definitely work for me. Ex: **Britney Spears, Shakira, Avril Lavigne, etc. in the Variable Penetration Game Show!**. ---

I would gladly give my money over to a movie containing any of the following phrases in the title: \*\*“Gore…” “Russ Meyer’s…” (ex: if it were called ‘Russ Meyer’s MATRIX’, I’d be so there) “Peter Jackson’s…” (see above) “…O-Rama” ---

_Ender’s Game_. I’m past the point of caring of it’ll be good… I’ll see it either way! And, having just seen _Cube 2_ last night, I think I’ll be there for _Cube 3_, if they do it. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Fibber McGee \* > **Though I’ve never read any of the comics, Hellboy** :eek: Best comic books EVAR. Seriously. It’s so cool to see a series written by somebody who just _gets_ what’s cool. (And of course, he’s got the coolest art style around.) I really can’t recommend them more highly – start with _The Chained Coffin_, or _Box Full of Evil_. ---

Any movie that incorporates the word “Underpants” in the title will pretty much guarantee being seen by SPOOFE. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Knowed Out \* > \*\*Please tell me you’re kidding. PLEASE tell me you’re kidding!!! \*\* (re: Keanu Reeves as John Constantine) I’ve heard about this as well. Unfortunately, [it doesn’t look like a joke](http://www.insanerantings.com/hell/movie/). Yet [another reference](http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1471959/20030519/index.jhtml?headlines=true). Just Google Hellblazer Constantine Reeves, there’s lots of info about it. None of it good.
