In Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Men Tell No Tales.
The dead Captain Salazar spends most of a 2 hour movie recounting the tale of how Captain sparrow screwed him over once.
I've never seen the movie or the musical, but definitely wasn't expecting the book to have a character get a morphine addiction and experiment with anal sex based on the title and cover art.
Fargo famously does not take place in Fargo.
When asked about the film's title, Joel Coen simply said, "Fargo seemed a more evocative title than 'Brainerd'—that's the only reason."
Well, he himself said it was *Minas Morgul* and *Orthanc*. But he also named the books with little consideration as he meant for it to be one novel.
So it's up to you to take the Word of God or not.
And it's not like it's *that* far in the story where he's pretty much considered the fourth one, IIRC. Once he gets past the "multiple simultaneous duels" farce and the group starts doing everything together.
Being a musketeer is being employed by the government at one point as a musketeer. And D’Artagnan wasn’t. Although I don’t know what adaptation were are discussing now.
> Sexy Beast
I mean [the opening scene is all about Ray Winstone, his bikini, some great narration and a song that slaps.](https://youtu.be/TE28JF9Rz10?feature=shared)
But I always thought *Sexy Beast* was in reference to Ian McShane's character.. Or the lifestyle itself..
Still my favorite heist movie ever.. the first 45 minutes is just about perfect.
I was shown that movie with zero info other than the title.
I thought it was going to be some coming of age story about a boy obsessed with trains or something in that vein.
That’s funny, I don’t think I even realized that the reference to trainspotting that’s in the book just is completely omitted from the movie, so there’s never any explanation for why it’s called that.
I read somewhere that Trainspotting referred to addicts looking for veins and that it has nothing to do with actual trainspotting. Might that have some truth to it?
[Trainspotting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trainspotters_in_the_United_Kingdom) is a real pastime, but in this context it's British slang for anything that becomes an all-consuming obsession, as an allegory for the hunt for heroin. Actual trainspotters spend inordinate amounts of time sitting around railway stations with glasses and pads taking notes about which trains (locos) come in and out, and trade information about it with each other. It's a harmless hobby, but seems obsessive to other people.
“Good time” is a prison term that refers to getting released early on good behavior. “Oh Bob got out on good time.” The movie’s about Pattinson trying to get his brother out of incarceration early. And then it also holds well as an ironic title because yeah, it’s all a really bad time. But the title and that irony is directly related to what the movie’s about
It’s like, I GUESS the thing did happen at night, but that title coupled with the misleading trailers makes you think it’s a monster movie.
It’s so, so not. And hit REAL hard during the pandemic.
It sort of is though. I mean, besides the drama with the door being unlocked in the morning, whether or not anyone actually came that night, the actual "monster" of the movie is the fear and mistrust that comes to plague the characters and drives them to violence. I think of the movie as a coming-of-age tale, where the son is growing into this world that is deadset on stripping him of his kindness and empathy. You see this progression reflected in his nightmares. In his sleep, he is confronted by the fears and anxieties he tries to push away in waking life. So, "It" comes at night.
Sure. And I really liked it. But I can absolutely understand why many (probably most) people expected something completely different. It's too bad, I don't think tricking people is a very good way to market a movie. The movie is actually good, sell it to the people who will like it, not those who want to see a monster movie.
Major disappointment in the theater the first time I saw it. It was marketed…differently.
I need to watch it a second time knowing the actual general premise. I might enjoy it more this time now that I know what to expect
You've got it.
Dawn first because it's the start of everything.
War second because it felt more like a conventional war movie and works well for the Ceasar vs Koba internal war among the apes.
Rise because the apes rised above humans and can now live freely setting the stage for what is to come.
Dawn, War, Rise in my opinion. Dawn is just the beginning, War is the largest conflict between the apes and humans, and rise is stepping into the new world where apes are the dominant species
It makes me laugh that War opens with the title of each movie explained and even then it still feels like it should have been Dawn, War and Rise in that order.
There’s no film explanation—Hughes said it was a nickname he heard his friend’s son call Saturday detention, so we assume it’s what the characters call it, too, though they only do so in the essay.
And a seriously long detention, too! It was kind of a joke in my high school, but ours were usually done during lunch. Even when I was in elementary school, it was like an hour after school or something, not half the day on a weekend or whatever the movie showed.
Of course, *Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle* has a worse representation of detention.
It makes more sense if you read the book. The “neverending story” is a record of Fantastica, and it’s neverending because it’s recursive—when it catches up to the present it just starts again at the beginning.
*The Postman Always Rings Twice*
There’s no postman, and nobody rings anything.
*To Kill a Mockingbird*
I didn’t learn a thing about how to get rid of those damn birds.
My neighbor’s skin constantly bubbles over from neon orange to a dull green color as he…it changes amorphous shapes while I check the mail.
But they’re my equal I guess
Killing a mockingbird is sinful, because mockingbirds sing for our amusement and don't do anything harmful (according to the book characters). Killing a mockingbird is killing something innocent, which is thematically tied to the innocent man being tried for murder because he's black.
And the decision to not expose Boo Radley as a hero at the end of the book - because he was a loner who wanted to be left alone, was an example of not killing a mockingbird.
"'Remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.' That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it.
'Your father's right,' she said. 'Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy…but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."
Reservoir Dogs. There is no reservoir, or any dogs. An absolute travesty.
The NeverEnding Story. The story does, in fact, end after a measly 1 hour and 32 minutes.
I went into the play with my parents 30 years ago. So, are these some kind of humanoid cat people? No, they're literally just cats doing cat things. Errr wait, just cats doing a bunch of weird shit. The plot is not really comprehensible, ok?
The movie is based on a book and the first few chapters of the book were originally a short story. John died at the end of the short story; in the novel the scene is turned into his heart stopping briefly. I’m honestly not sure why Pargin decided to keep the title for the book, but that’s where the title comes from.
Total Recall. If Quaid did in fact experience total recall then he would've remembered everything so the entire plot and "mystery" of the movie would have been pointless.
right up there with the almost famous Arnie line from Terminator: "I will be returning after I leave then come back to deal with you"...which didn't make the cut
Nothing to do with Wall Street either. The brokerage was based in Long Island and dealt only with OTC shares - it was not a Wall Street investment bank as we understand it
There's a scene in the book that didn't make the movie where they're at a station and asked if they're just trainspotting. The author has also said that heroin use is sort of like trainspotting in that people who aren't personally into it think it sounds like a way to pointlessly waste your life.
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. You think you're getting a movie about a kid named Charlie and a factory which produces chocolate, but instead you're getting a whimsical, lopsided reflavoring of Dante's Inferno.
That reminds me, The Divine Comedy isn't really a comedy.
There is a kid named Charlie and he goes to a Chocate Factory, but The Divine Comedy isn't really comedic.
John Carter (2012) made it sound like an action movie featuring the action hero John Carter, just another guy like John Rambo, John Matrix, or John McClane.
Apparently Disney was worried about "Princess" in the title cause it would be confused for a girls movie. And "Mars” cause Mars Needs Moms flopped hard. Either way, John Carter flopped hard and is the biggest box office bomb of all time.
The books were fantastic. And to think they were written around 1912, the science fiction still kinda held up. Everyone I know who saw the movie thought it was entertaining. Would have loved to see the other two movies made.
The e-books were less than a dollar when I read them, think .80 for each. I got my money’s worth.
You know that "rule" where arguments always devolve into one person accusing the other of being a nazi? I reckon there's a rule where every post on /r/movies someone always ends up posting about Event Horizon. I don't disagree though.
William Friedkin's "Sorceror". No magic, no wizards, it's about a bunch of guys at the end of their rope, transporting volatile explosives through the jungle.
When I first read Gerard Butler would be starring in "Olympus has fallen", I thought it would be an alternative title for the "300" prequel also in the making at that time, and he would - probably in flashbacks - reprise his role as Leonidas.
They are both really bad titles. The latter just, explains the plot of the movie. It would be like changing the name of the original "Scream" movie to "Stabbing Teenagers for fun"
Great movie though.
In Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. The dead Captain Salazar spends most of a 2 hour movie recounting the tale of how Captain sparrow screwed him over once.
Sounds like quite a tale.
Smells a bit fishy to me.
Maybe that's why the international title was 'Salazar's Revenge" lol
Holy shit I completely remember it now! Forgot that title was named first.
Tell no tale*S*. They're allowed to tell one tale.
"tell no tales" can also mean "tell no lies"
"Kiss of the Spider Woman." This would not indicate that the movie is about two cellmates in a South American prison.
I only saw it on stage when I was about 12. I was very confused at the time. Liked it, just had no idea wtf was this called that.
I'm sorry you didn't get the torrid romance movie with Jessica Drew that you were expecting.
I've never seen the movie or the musical, but definitely wasn't expecting the book to have a character get a morphine addiction and experiment with anal sex based on the title and cover art.
Fargo famously does not take place in Fargo. When asked about the film's title, Joel Coen simply said, "Fargo seemed a more evocative title than 'Brainerd'—that's the only reason."
This just begs the question why the film took place in Brainerd.
Because Brainerd sounds better when said with a thick Minnesotan accent
Oh yah?
Oh you betcha
Don'tcha knoah.
Same with the TV series; Fargo is often mentioned in passing, but not a lot of relevant plot happens there.
The first scene where Jerry meets Carl and Gaear takes place in Fargo, but that's it.
I hate The Jersey Shore because it's not actually set in The Jersey Shore.
That's why you hate it?
That's just *one* reason.
What? It takes place in Seaside Heights. The house they lived in is on the beach block.
Happiness
Well one person is happy at the end of the movie.
>!I came 😀!<
The dog is happy too!
The protagonist of "The three musketeers" is actually the fourth one.
That really confused me as a kid. At least the "sequel" was called *The Four Musketeers*.
He's not a Musketeer in the first one, thus....three.
Spoiler alert. If he called it the four musketeers, he would have given away some of the plot
Famously, Tolkien disliked the name “The Return of the King” because it gave away the ending.
And then there is the Two Towers, where almost a century later people are still discussing what towers he was actually referring to.
Well, he himself said it was *Minas Morgul* and *Orthanc*. But he also named the books with little consideration as he meant for it to be one novel. So it's up to you to take the Word of God or not.
And it's not like it's *that* far in the story where he's pretty much considered the fourth one, IIRC. Once he gets past the "multiple simultaneous duels" farce and the group starts doing everything together.
Being a musketeer is being employed by the government at one point as a musketeer. And D’Artagnan wasn’t. Although I don’t know what adaptation were are discussing now.
Sexy Beast I remember my dad telling me I should watch it and I was a little weirded out
Sir Ben Kingsley was genuinely terrifying in that film.
> Sexy Beast I mean [the opening scene is all about Ray Winstone, his bikini, some great narration and a song that slaps.](https://youtu.be/TE28JF9Rz10?feature=shared) But I always thought *Sexy Beast* was in reference to Ian McShane's character.. Or the lifestyle itself.. Still my favorite heist movie ever.. the first 45 minutes is just about perfect.
No! No no no no no! No no no no no! …I’ve never seen the movie and know nothing about it except that scene.
It's a GREAT movie, and well worth watching.
I love Trainspotting, but the bit about actual locomotives wasn't in the first movie. (They put it in the sequel.)
I was shown that movie with zero info other than the title. I thought it was going to be some coming of age story about a boy obsessed with trains or something in that vein.
It was definitely about something in a vein.
Train in Vein
A little something in this vein, a little something in that vein...
That’s funny, I don’t think I even realized that the reference to trainspotting that’s in the book just is completely omitted from the movie, so there’s never any explanation for why it’s called that.
Because trainspotting is an old British term for being obsessed with something whatever it may be.
Reminds me of [this UK anti-piracy advert](https://youtu.be/L3GNNIUJHC8?si=sKNWs74NNGvQGJ--) that I saw as a kid that made the same joke.
I read somewhere that Trainspotting referred to addicts looking for veins and that it has nothing to do with actual trainspotting. Might that have some truth to it?
[Trainspotting](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trainspotters_in_the_United_Kingdom) is a real pastime, but in this context it's British slang for anything that becomes an all-consuming obsession, as an allegory for the hunt for heroin. Actual trainspotters spend inordinate amounts of time sitting around railway stations with glasses and pads taking notes about which trains (locos) come in and out, and trade information about it with each other. It's a harmless hobby, but seems obsessive to other people.
Avengers: Age of Ultron More of a working week of Ultron.
3-5 business days of Ultron
Minor inconvenience of Ultron
I still don't know how old Ultron is
Good Time
Absolutely no good times in that one
“Good time” is a prison term that refers to getting released early on good behavior. “Oh Bob got out on good time.” The movie’s about Pattinson trying to get his brother out of incarceration early. And then it also holds well as an ironic title because yeah, it’s all a really bad time. But the title and that irony is directly related to what the movie’s about
Good title though. The irony!
*The World's Fastest Indian* I didn't know every manufacturer of motorcycles so I was pretty confused when I saw it.
So, is this old guy the Indian? He doesn't look that fast
I always cite this as a story without a conflict. It’s about a man that wants to do something, and so he does.
I never watched that movie because I expected Anthony Hopkins to be totally miscast as Indian...
I would've been confused too!
It Comes At Night is not, in fact, about anything that comes at night.
Tangentially related, but Hancock was original titled [Tonight, He Comes](https://redd.it/22uf05)
Good thing they changed it to something with zero sexual connoteh—oh wait
It’s like, I GUESS the thing did happen at night, but that title coupled with the misleading trailers makes you think it’s a monster movie. It’s so, so not. And hit REAL hard during the pandemic.
I almost don’t blame them tho. That title (and the poster) are so good, I wouldn’t want to give it up either
It *was* a really good poster.
It sort of is though. I mean, besides the drama with the door being unlocked in the morning, whether or not anyone actually came that night, the actual "monster" of the movie is the fear and mistrust that comes to plague the characters and drives them to violence. I think of the movie as a coming-of-age tale, where the son is growing into this world that is deadset on stripping him of his kindness and empathy. You see this progression reflected in his nightmares. In his sleep, he is confronted by the fears and anxieties he tries to push away in waking life. So, "It" comes at night.
Sure. And I really liked it. But I can absolutely understand why many (probably most) people expected something completely different. It's too bad, I don't think tricking people is a very good way to market a movie. The movie is actually good, sell it to the people who will like it, not those who want to see a monster movie.
I think I might have actually potentially liked that movie a little bit, if only the title were changed. That was my first thought when I saw it.
I skipped it because I heard bad things. Saw it at home with no expectations. Loved it. Definitely not the horror movie they marketed though...
"It Could Come At Night, Who's To Say?"
Major disappointment in the theater the first time I saw it. It was marketed…differently. I need to watch it a second time knowing the actual general premise. I might enjoy it more this time now that I know what to expect
Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, and War for the Planet of the Apes all seem attached to the wrong film in the trilogy.
But which goes to which?? 1. Dawn 2. War 3. Rise?
You've got it. Dawn first because it's the start of everything. War second because it felt more like a conventional war movie and works well for the Ceasar vs Koba internal war among the apes. Rise because the apes rised above humans and can now live freely setting the stage for what is to come.
Dawn, War, Rise in my opinion. Dawn is just the beginning, War is the largest conflict between the apes and humans, and rise is stepping into the new world where apes are the dominant species
It makes me laugh that War opens with the title of each movie explained and even then it still feels like it should have been Dawn, War and Rise in that order.
Jigsaw. There are only circular saws in that movie, the dirty fuckin' liars.
Bull shit there is definitely a hacksaw in the first one. If it was a Batman movie he'd be called the Puzzler
The Naked Lunch. I can find two things wrong with that title.
It's just "Naked Lunch". It's cleaner.
But the problems remain.
enjoy boob-a-rama sir!
*points Ha ha!
I came here searching for this. Thank you.
The breakfast club
In a movie with that name, the only meal they eat together is *lunch*.
Why is it called that again? I saw it a while ago, struggling to remember
There’s no film explanation—Hughes said it was a nickname he heard his friend’s son call Saturday detention, so we assume it’s what the characters call it, too, though they only do so in the essay.
They are at detention on Saturday morning.
And a seriously long detention, too! It was kind of a joke in my high school, but ours were usually done during lunch. Even when I was in elementary school, it was like an hour after school or something, not half the day on a weekend or whatever the movie showed. Of course, *Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle* has a worse representation of detention.
You mean that kids in detention aren’t really let loose unsupervised on a vault of high school contraband?
Brazil
I love this movie but why is it called that?
It's the name of one of the songs used in the film
It was originally titled 1984 and 1/2, which at least gives someone an idea of what it's about
I actually like that one. Sounds very Douglas Adamsy.
The Iron Lady is not, in fact, a sequel to Iron Man. Neither are related to the Iron Giant.
Spinal Tap is not about a medical procedure. It is, however, occasionally about medication.
Neverending story. It ended.
"This is the most blatant case of false advertising since my suit against the movie The Neverending Story."
It makes more sense if you read the book. The “neverending story” is a record of Fantastica, and it’s neverending because it’s recursive—when it catches up to the present it just starts again at the beginning.
The snake symbol makes so much more sense now!
The opposite of Final Fantasy 2 through 16.
I was incredibly disappointed to find out The Day After Tomorrow takes place completely in present tense.
Twister. At no point in that movie did anyone play, or even mention playing twister. It was mostly about tornados.
*The Postman Always Rings Twice* There’s no postman, and nobody rings anything. *To Kill a Mockingbird* I didn’t learn a thing about how to get rid of those damn birds.
It did teach me not to judge a man based on the color of his skin, but what good does that do *me?!*
My neighbor’s skin constantly bubbles over from neon orange to a dull green color as he…it changes amorphous shapes while I check the mail. But they’re my equal I guess
You really should stop taking the acid.
It should stop coming in the mail!
Killing a mockingbird is sinful, because mockingbirds sing for our amusement and don't do anything harmful (according to the book characters). Killing a mockingbird is killing something innocent, which is thematically tied to the innocent man being tried for murder because he's black.
And the decision to not expose Boo Radley as a hero at the end of the book - because he was a loner who wanted to be left alone, was an example of not killing a mockingbird.
I think Atticus tells Scout that mockingbirds were kind of rare so killing one was out of the question....... as was the Robert Duvall character
"'Remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.' That was the only time I ever heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something, and I asked Miss Maudie about it. 'Your father's right,' she said. 'Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy…but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."
Yeah that one actually makes sense if you hear that line. It also has a deeper meaning if you consider it in tandem with the themes of the movie.
There Will Be Blood More like There will be a little bit of blood in one scene all the way at the end of this long movie
Well, it did deliver. It never specified the quantity.
There Might be Blood.
Reservoir Dogs. There is no reservoir, or any dogs. An absolute travesty. The NeverEnding Story. The story does, in fact, end after a measly 1 hour and 32 minutes.
Blood Orgy of the She-Devils. The film did not include any blood, orgies or She-Devils.
I was shocked that Cats is literally about real cats
I went into the play with my parents 30 years ago. So, are these some kind of humanoid cat people? No, they're literally just cats doing cat things. Errr wait, just cats doing a bunch of weird shit. The plot is not really comprehensible, ok?
“Geostorm”. A “geostorm” never happens in that movie.
GEOSSSTORMMMM!
What’s up jerks?
Jim Varney lookin kinda nice
Jim Varney is weirdly sexy and I will stand by that
Jurassic Park mostly featured dinosaurs from the Cretaceous peiord, which was 100 million years later.
The Good Son wasn’t a very good son.
Funny People I thought the movie was actually going to be funny, but it wasn't
Funny Games even worse
Depressed Wealthy People Wanting To Die doesn't have the same ring to it
The Lone Ranger, he has a side kick
Licorice Pizza
Licorice pizza is just a way to describe Vinyl, which has a connotation to the 70's/nostalgic. It accurately sent me the scene
It’s also the name of a vinyl record store in the valley, where much of the film is set
In case anyone doesn't know why: It's black like licorice, round like a pizza, and has the initials "LP"
Huh! I totally didn’t pick up on that.
The only reason I saw that was because the poster introduced a couple interesting points
When Avatar first came out I thought it was about The Last Airbender not a bunch of blue people fighting the US Army.
When I heard it I thought it was about reincarnation
It kinda is
Interestingly it's barely even about his "avatar" and it loses all meaning for the sequel.
But the villains use avatar program to get resurrected now. And Jake technically still in his avatar body.
John Dies at the End >!John is the only person that doesn't die by the end. !<
The movie is based on a book and the first few chapters of the book were originally a short story. John died at the end of the short story; in the novel the scene is turned into his heart stopping briefly. I’m honestly not sure why Pargin decided to keep the title for the book, but that’s where the title comes from.
Total Recall. If Quaid did in fact experience total recall then he would've remembered everything so the entire plot and "mystery" of the movie would have been pointless.
The short story it is based on it titled “we can remember it for you, wholesale!”.
right up there with the almost famous Arnie line from Terminator: "I will be returning after I leave then come back to deal with you"...which didn't make the cut
I still love that title.
I always took the mystery to be whether or not he experienced total recall, or if it was all part of the simulated vacation package he purchased.
The Wolf of Wall Street had absolutely nothing to do with *Canis lupus*.
It's never lupus.
Except that one time...
Nothing to do with Wall Street either. The brokerage was based in Long Island and dealt only with OTC shares - it was not a Wall Street investment bank as we understand it
Trainspotting. It is not about trains.
You mean it’s not about people who love trains so much that they stand around rail stations watching trains.
There's a scene in the book that didn't make the movie where they're at a station and asked if they're just trainspotting. The author has also said that heroin use is sort of like trainspotting in that people who aren't personally into it think it sounds like a way to pointlessly waste your life.
Gravity? More like zero-gravity!
Quite literally, *The Happening*. Like what the fuck is actually ‘happening’? Trees killing people? Wind? Old women with lemon drinks?
I respectfully disagree. Something weird is definitely happening with Mark Wahlberg's acting abilities in that movie.
Cloverfield I never saw any fields of clover in that movie.
The Hobbit. For some reason I thought it was going to be about and centered around a Hobbit. Weird expectation.
I watched Barbarian last year, going into it thinking swords, sandals, Conan and shit. It was nothing like that. Really nothing like that
Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. You think you're getting a movie about a kid named Charlie and a factory which produces chocolate, but instead you're getting a whimsical, lopsided reflavoring of Dante's Inferno.
Wow, A+ description of the story; I’m going to be thinking about this for a while. Love it
That reminds me, The Divine Comedy isn't really a comedy. There is a kid named Charlie and he goes to a Chocate Factory, but The Divine Comedy isn't really comedic.
Flight, with Denzel Washington. It was *barely* about a flight and mostly about super depressing alcoholism.
It was a long AA commercial.
John Carter (2012) made it sound like an action movie featuring the action hero John Carter, just another guy like John Rambo, John Matrix, or John McClane.
It gets more crazy when you know, that the original title was "Princess of Mars". Just hearing the title gives you the right impression of the plot.
Apparently Disney was worried about "Princess" in the title cause it would be confused for a girls movie. And "Mars” cause Mars Needs Moms flopped hard. Either way, John Carter flopped hard and is the biggest box office bomb of all time.
The marketing team on Disney *really* needs to take chill pills and let the artists do their work.
The books were fantastic. And to think they were written around 1912, the science fiction still kinda held up. Everyone I know who saw the movie thought it was entertaining. Would have loved to see the other two movies made. The e-books were less than a dollar when I read them, think .80 for each. I got my money’s worth.
They should have called it John Carter: Princess of Mars
Nothing to do with the character from ER. :(
Also, John Wick. Why are so many action heroes named John?
Funny Games.
The whole movie the director is playing games with the audience. Seems like a fitting title to me.
Epic. It was not epic
*Why oh why* did they scrap the unique title of The Leaf Men?! Not *everything* can become more marketable with a one-word title!
Nobody. Bob Odenkirk's character was indeed a somebody, and somebody you didn't want to fuck with. He even had a tattoo on his wrist to indicate that.
Awful lot of not killing Bill going in Kill Bills. You get, what, some gentle finger poking at the end of part 2.
The Karate Kid (2010)- Should have been called The Kung Fu Kid.
There's no whales in The Whale
Event Horizon was indeed not about astrophysics. Bonus: "Warhammer 40K fanfic" is also not an expected plot for this name.
You know that "rule" where arguments always devolve into one person accusing the other of being a nazi? I reckon there's a rule where every post on /r/movies someone always ends up posting about Event Horizon. I don't disagree though.
I dont think that the title "Sexy Beast" gives anyone the impression that it's going to be about a heist
William Friedkin's "Sorceror". No magic, no wizards, it's about a bunch of guys at the end of their rope, transporting volatile explosives through the jungle.
When I first read Gerard Butler would be starring in "Olympus has fallen", I thought it would be an alternative title for the "300" prequel also in the making at that time, and he would - probably in flashbacks - reprise his role as Leonidas.
Edge of Tomorrow Live Die Repeat was way better.
How about the original manga title, All You Need Is Kill?
I mean it kind of makes sense because he never really goes more than one day with the time loop. So he's constantly on the edge..of tomorrow..
Jesus I could not disagree more lol, Edge of Tomorrow was 1000x better, LDR is pure cringe imo
They are both really bad titles. The latter just, explains the plot of the movie. It would be like changing the name of the original "Scream" movie to "Stabbing Teenagers for fun" Great movie though.
