Well, to be fair, it is a pretty appropriate title for the film. Although the thing that sucks is that it's pretty much a major plot spoiler.

I think they did. It was a STV film, and they just needed a title. I always found the name to III to be just flat out corny.

It was suppose to jumpstart the anthology Halloween series Carpenter believed in. Did it need the subtitle? No, but they had to seperate it in some way from Michael Myers. But of course, we know how that all turned out. But you can't blame Carpenter for the film itself, Tommy Wallace wrote and directed the film (yes, the guy Tommy and Lindsey were named after in Halloween). But I'm sure Carpenter came up with the name of the film.

that was to represent durants opinion i guess
Was the movie any good? I never bothered to see it.
I still think that the first Halloween is possible the best film of the slasher genre... but most of the sequels were terrible, IMO. Even part 2 was pretty dumb when you consider that no hospital, even in the middle of the night, is ever that dark and deserted.

I love you. Go post in the Simpsons thread.
The Sisterhood of the Travelling Pants....
. Maybe I'm biased.Also, I hate movie titles that are intentionally esoteric, but when spelled out, really don't make a lot of sense. Ones that just sound cool, if anything-- a lot of action films follow this formula.

Naked Lunch....
I can think of at least two things wrong with that title
You too! Get your butt in the Simpsons thread!

Read the book, if you haven't already. I can assure you that the title is appropriate there.

No, you're right. That title is f**king stupid.

It was a Simpsons joke. The boys are coming out of the movie and Nelson comments on the title.

The first time I saw the trailer....
Fighting looked like a totally generic run of the mill stupid film about some dude kid who dreams of making it big so he starts fighting...
...
...and then the title appeared:
"Fighting"
and I was amazed at the lack of originality.
I never saw the movie. Zero interest to do so.
It's like calling a comedy "Laughing" or an romantic movie "Loving"...
The new trailer should of just been two guys talking:
"Hey what is that movie Fighting about?"
"It's about fighting."
"Oh? what kind of fighting?"
"I don't know. The Fighting kind of Fighting."
"Sounds good. I like fighting."
"Then you should see... FIGHTING. In theaters this APRIL!"

it's because "I Still Know What You Did Last Summer" no longer makes sense if the movie takes place years later. It should have been "I Still Know What You Did THAT Summer"

No it wasn't.
It illustrates the popular perception of those events, and it's the title of the book. It's actually a great title.
"The Incredibly Strange Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies!!?"
That's the actual title. Complete with hyphenation and "!!?"
And let's not forget the third one...
I Will ALWAYS Know What You Did Last Summer.
God, I wish they'd keep pumping out DTV sequels of that series for the titles alone...
Before I Knew What You Did Last Summer (prequel)
I Know What You'll Do Next Summer
I Will Never Forget That I Know What You Did Last Summer
The "I Know What You Did Last Winter" X-Mas Special
Son of I Know What You Did Last Summer
I Will Always Know That I Still Know That You Don't Know That I Know What You Did Five Summers Ago
