I'm not talking about the worst movies ever. I'm talking about the movie titles. The movies might actually be good. The most recent abomination is what got me thinking about it in general.
---------------------------
"Lucky Number Slevin" (2006) - Aweful play on words. It's like, did they name the character Slevin just so they could put a stupid ass pun in the title? Or did they name the character and then, in an utter stroke of retard genius, go "Check out this name for the title, ain't we clever!" I can't wait for the sequel, "Unlucky Number Slirteen".
"Murderball" (2005) - This movie sounds like it would be A LOT cooler than it actually is. So, it's a documentary about wheelchair rugby? No, and no. Ok, I know, the "sport" was actually called that, but they fucked up then too.
"Gigli" (2003) - Everything about this movie sucked. And I'm not just picking on it, it's really that bad.
"Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones" (2002) - I don't care how accurate of a title it is to the story. With as much anticipation that there was just for the releases of these prequel titles, this one was a big fat turd. Thank you, Mr. Lucas, for putting your movie title in the B-movie cult classic category, with titles like "Attack of the 50 Foot Woman" (which incidentally, doesn't appear in this list, so that should tell you).
"Steal This Movie" (2000) - Ok, I get it. You're underground. You're a rebel. You don't support the mainstream capitalist establishment, or whatever. It makes for a decent biography, but fuck all if the title isn't a complete gimmick. And with a title like that, it's only the 2nd most stolen movie in the U.S.?
"BASEketball" (1998) - Thank you, Trey Parker and Matt Stone. This just edged out their gem from the year before, "Orgazmo". In a way it makes sense, since Spielberg already had "Footgolf".
"Teen Wolf Too" (1987) - Just, why?
"Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song" (1971) - You know there had to be a blaxploitation film in this list somewhere. Blacula, Blackenstein, Black Caesar: all too easy to pick. Do you think there was any debate over how many s's to put in the title? "Man I told them niggas to drop anotha S in that title!" "Sheeit, ain't five enough mothafucka?"
"The Longest Most Meaningless Movie in the World" (1970) - With the movie at 48 hours in length, at least the title is accurate (actually there is one longer at 80 hours). But this is a case of a title being too accurate, like "The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain" (1995). Ok, thanks, I guess I don't even need to see it now.
"The Killing" (1956) - One of the most generic, unmemorable titles ever. Is this supposed to give an idea of what the movie is like? Uh, this and every other fucking movie ever made. C'mon Kubrick, there's an ex-con, a track robbery, a horse shooting, a double-crossing wife, and everyone dies at the end. That inspired you to call it "The Killing"? Why not just call it "Movie"?

our posts are completely different, ass clown. yours is a list that you claim to have some sort of claim on what constitutes a shitty movie title. mine is a parody of what jesus would say. yours isn't meant to be a parody because it's actually trying to give reasons why those are bad movie titles.
get a clue, douchey mcgee.

wardy,
I was going to show you, but you'd have just gotten even more sand in your vagina.
Imagine if I reviewed your most recent Jesus post with the review you gave me, replacing "literary or linguistic" with "political or religious".
It wouldn't make any sense, because you're obviously just trying to be funny/entertaining. So even if you COULD prove anything I wanted you to prove, why the hell WOULD you prove it?
I.e., if I told you I had a B.A. in Linguistics, and proved it, what the fuck would it matter? The post stands on its own merit or it doesn't. And I know you get all bent up when someone does the same shit to your posts.
But you and I argued this in Rd 1 FUPA, and you still go around doing it, so that's not going to change.

Little baby wardy, the only authority and expertise I need is the warmth and love of your mom's nether-regions. I might have to break up with here soon, though. She's too hairy for me.
Rampant hypocrisy going on at Ubersite recently. First pen_name, now wardy.

what makes you an authority on this? come back to me with that answer and i'll change my rating, but until you can prove that you have some sort of literary or linguistic academic expertise, i'm going to dismiss this as complete bullshit that you thought was going to be clever and turned out just being a waste of my time. goddammit. goddammit.

ewwwwwwwwwwwww burn
actually, i spent like an hour making that collage o' license plates and then couldn't figure out how to make a post around them.
then i realized i could make fun of all the stupid uberpolls by creating the ultimate uberpoll--one that would have the stupidest question in history.
to that end, it was one with grandert visions than this post, and considering the effort to splice those plates together, had alot more effort than this post.
So...FACE!

pen_name:
I knew it wouldn't take long to find. I guess if I put "Uberpoll" in the title it'd be ok? Example: "Uberpoll: Your Favorite State". Sound familiar? http://www.ubersite.com/m/64190 .
That link had some good examples, "Feardotcom", and some of the same examples, so thanks for that.

Never you worry Matt. I checked around on this site, IMDB, Amazon Listmania, etc., to see if there were similar lists out there. Don't want to waste my time, you know?

The last one made me smirk. Then I checked to see if this was a copy and paste job, and surprisingly, I came up with nothing.
You win this time, Gadget.

These are your opinions. Come back and give me some mathematical thesis as to why these movie titles really suck and then we'll talk......or type or fuck, dude, I don't want to talk to you. Forget it.

Romy & Michelle's High School Reunion...
Shitty movie, too.
I still get wood from it from time to time.
No reason, really.
