I’ve been trying for years to figure out what movie people are discussing when they talk about **THX1138** 😕

I really thought I must be the only one misinterpreting “PotC.” I kept wondering why people were spending so much time analysing a lighthearted fantasy tale. Then I found out they were writing about “Pirates of the Carribean.” 😉

While we are at it, to those who post things like, “this reminds me of the ending in [this movie](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082010/).” Would it kill you to write, “this reminds me of the ending in [An American Werewolf in London](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0082010/)”? It would certainly save lots of unnecessary traffic as readers click on the link to find out which movie the poster meant.

There’s no question in my mind. _Flying, Shooting, Killing, and Fucking_ was the worst James Bond movie yet. And while I haven’t actually seen the sixth one, I didn’t like any of the first five _Look Hooz Talking_ movies. But _Hot Potatoes With Jelly Donuts_ was a classic.

I liked F.I.S.T. And Swat. Even SFW had its moments.

SDMB has the Pit, E-I-E-I-O,  
and in the Pit we put the flames, E-I-E-I-O.

Clever and correct, as always, **Eve**.

_Help Pilate Whip Jesus, Dude_. Hands down the best movie Mel Gibson has ever made.

Didn’t fit any of **Eve** ’s abbreviations. Still, I like the idea of crucifying Ashton Kutcher.

Strangly enough, I’m going to hijack back to the OP.  
It depends on the residents of the thread and what the thread is about as to whether I’ll post in initials or use a full name.

For instance, in a thread about movies in general, I might say, _Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home_. Or in a thread about TV in general, I would say, _Star Trek, Enterprise_.

But, if I were posting in a thread populated by Trek Dopers, discussing specific aspects of the Star Trek franchise, I wouldn’t bother with it, because everyone there would know what is meant by TVH and ENT.

I definitely prefer _Four Sexually Knowledgable Females_  
However, I found _Harry’s Problem With Jelly Donuts_ to be occasionally hilarious, and that _Long Hair Tries Sausage_ was the best of the _Long Hair_ movies, FWIW.
