I, Robot isn't a stupid title if you'd read the book.


I'm gonna go with The Squid and the Whale

Snakes on a Plane.

"Lucky Number Slevin" is an annoying movie name because it forces you to reread it again and say it correctly.

That's actually part of the point. Even if you do "get it right the first time", the title itself, at least from a marketing standpoint, is a horrible one.

Any title of anything has to follow certain unwritten rules in order to appease the public (I know this because I'm a double business major and I've done projects involving coming up with a fake business product from scratch). One unwritten rule is to try not to use more than three syllables or words in your company or title, whichever is greater (i.e. Best Buy, McDonalds, Wal-Mart, Superman Returns, The Davinci Code, Miami Vice, and so on). Of course some titles get away with it (that whole Borat title comes to mind) but those are the rare exception. K.I.S.S is the basis for this.

Another unwritten rule is to not do any kind of gimmicky play on words or letters with your title or else it'll put off the consumer and make them feel uncomfortable. Such is the case with "Lucky Number Slevin". Just google "Lucky Number Slevin worst title" and you'll see what I mean. I know such a matter might seem inane, but each day whenever you step into a store or eat a restaurant, there's tiny specific things that were done in said place in order to help appease your experience with the company, product, business, etc.

Interesting.

some people just dont get it Strangelove

only stupid name that comes to mind is:

Snakes On A Plane (mentioned above) and Lady In The Water

...and these titles basically described main point of the movie

Snatch and Blow both made me think they were gonna be a little, ahem, different, to what they are....

i think "the indian in the cupboard" wins this thread

Indian in the Cupboard is extremely tough to beat, but in 2007 I cringe every time I hear Little Miss Sunshine.

I'm not particular with the title of the movie, Its the movie that is important.

Snakes On A Plane
IIRC They did consider giving it another name and wanted to change the name to something along the name of flight 175(or something like that). But then Samuel Jackson said that the name was one of the reasons why he signed up to be on that movie. Personally I'm quite fine with it.

Yeah, it's probably better than something like "Fang Air" or "First Strike"

epic sounds lame for a movie

Like the argument for I, Robot, Indian in the Cupboard is the name of the book. Don't blame the movie if you dislike the title.

Okay.

It's still a stupid movie name, which is the name of the thread.
