[nite-owl]

Lol dosen't Mr. uninformed know Cameron came up with the idea of the movie years before the cartoon.

About ten years ago I would say.

 

[Doctor Jones]

Avatar has a prett general meaning anyway. I mean, the x box live dudes are called avatars.

 

[CelticPredator]

Midnight Meat Train rocks.

 

[BestGirl]

Midnight Meat Train rocks.

I saw in the Avatar thread that you said TF2 rocks. What is this, your own personal opposite day?

oh man, stupid me

anyway, if i were him, i would just change the name of the movie. Since the cartoon Avatar also has a film coming up. "The Last Airbender"

Been a while for this thread, and with so many crappy movies coming out, I figured it deserved a bump.

Here are a few that are just lazy and uninspired (IMO). Seriously, some of these titles are what you call a movie when you just can't think of a name that fits.

Takers

Ninja Assassin (one of the most bland martial arts movie titles I've ever heard)

Old Dogs

Everybody's Fine

Killers

And a few others that are worthy of a facepalm:

The Spy Next Door

Transylmania

Knight & Day

Cats & Dogs: Revenge of Kitty Galore

Far Cry- Should have been named a "far cry from being a good movie."

 

[Sarge 2.0]

Avatar has a prett general meaning anyway. I mean, the x box live dudes are called avatars.

Avatar is an ancient term rooted in Hinduism, dude.

 

[Sarge 2.0]

It stands for Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers & that is exactly what they were.

That doesn't make the title any better.

Far Cry- Should have been named a "far cry from being a good movie."

lol, good one. It's sort of like "Drag Me to Hell." I know a lot of you guys liked that movie, but I personally thought it was terrible and so the title sounds like a metaphor for someone trying to get me to sit down and watch it again.

Nick of Time.

Such a horrible but enjoyable movie.

Johnny Depp VS Christopher Walken in a 90's real time "thriller".

[That-Guy]

Yep, bad movie and bad title there, for sure.

You know it's a bad script and a bad director when you have Johnny Depp and Christopher Walken in the same movie and it still manages to suck. That movie was supposed to be a suspense thriller and it was pretty much 90 minutes of Depp getting a shoeshine.

 

[Vengeance]

Half Past Dead

Starring Steven Seagal

Yes but it was so unintentionally hilarious. It was like one of Walken's SNL sketches.

"arrgggh... You f**ked upppp!!!!" lol

 

[redhawk23]

have you guys noticed that Hollwood has gone colon:crazy lately

X-Men Origins: Wolverine
The First Avenger: Captain America
Twilight Saga: ...oh God not another one

its a surefire way to crap up a title in my opinion

 

[That-Guy]

I think that a colon in the title is a subtle indicator that the movie is going to be sh**.

Isn't The First Avenger: Captain America the way they marketing it worldwide..?

 

[That-Guy]

I thought that was the title they were supposedly going to use. It's stupid if it is.

 

[[A]]

I read about it -- maybe they dropped the idea. But they were going to call it just Captain America in the US..

 

[That-Guy]

That's good. Supposedly the "First Avenger" thing was just because of the negative attitude a lot of people have towards Americans right now. While I can understand that, it also makes me wonder, why make a movie about Captain America, then?

You can shy away from "the American way" with Superman. You can't do that with Cap. It just doesn't make sense.

 

[[A]]

Right now?

But yeah, colon in titles are usually dumb (unless it's before an explanation--meaning, well used)

Barn of the Blood Llama

Beast from Haunted Cave

The Buddhist Fist

Class of Nuke 'Em High II: Subhumanoid Meltdown

The Crippled Masters

The Curse of Count Chocula

The Forbidden Dance is Lambada

High School Ghosthustlers

Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers

House II: The Second Story

 

[That-Guy]

I also think I have to add Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day to this thread. You should never use the same word in your title and subtitle. It just sounds awkward.
