Worst Movie Title Ever
 
I'm gonna have to go with Captain Corelli's Mandolin. I'm not 100% certain what this movie is about, but the title tells a stupid story.

I'll bet there's this tough, yet sensitive army captain, overseas, and he privately shares his delicate feelings via his stupid mandolin, with some dipshit underling who always remembers him, after he predictably dies leaving his stupid mandolin behind as a reminder to always treasure the precious things in life even under the worst circumstances. Or some equally stupid bullshit as that.

Anybody seen it? Am I right?

Oh, and the story is told via flashbacks. I'll bet.

Stars Nicolas Cage, that is all you need to know.



Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang
Not a porno, actually a good movie, stupid name.
Val Kilmer acts and is funny, who knew :eek:

For me, the worst movie title ever is "Sssssssssssssssssss".
It's about a man who loves snakes and does experiments turning humans into snakes and finally succeeds by turning his daughter's boyfriend into one. Word to the wise, when you turn people into snakes, lock up the mongoose!

Well, there has to be a woman in there somewhere... either the Captain's estranged daughter, who comes to understand and forgive him for his absentee parenting, through her gradual discovery of the joy of mandolin music. Or his lover, pining away for him, her only memento of him being the precious mandolin.

I've seen it. The only thing I vividly remember is Penelope Cruz's boobs, but if I recall, he was an Italian Captain who was stationed in Greece and had it in for ol' Penal-ope and showed her so by delivering wooden lines and playing the mandolin one night, writing a song that he named after her or some shit. They got separated after the war, he was apparently having second thoughts about shagging someone with armpit hair (which they showed in the movie, I didn't need to see that, especially when there were boobs on the screen) and didn't call, so years later he recorded Penal-ope's song and sent it to her on vinyl, assumingly in the hopes that she finally shaved her pits. I think that's more or less it.

Personally, I hold a grudge against movie titles from movies that star Jodie Foster or Ashley Judd. They're like the Sly Stallone or Arnie Schwarzeneggers of action chick flicks, and you can almost always figure out the plot without seeing the movie.

Is this a thread where we are to post what we think are the worst movie titles, or are we to critique this Mandolin movie?

If it's the former, I'll go with The English Patient (someone is English! Someone is a patient! Guaranteed to bore you from title to credits!)

If it's the latter, I haven't seen it.

No, critique the Mandolin movie title. Or post bad movie titles. Or post movies of your titties.

I had the same problem with The Perfect Storm. A movie about some dudes on a boat who get caught in a a bad storm. Am I right? I'll bet you a million dollars. Sample dialogue: "One thing I can say about that storm, it was perfect." ... Hey, let's sit for two hours to see if Marky Mark lives.

Shawnee123 05-14-2008 12:38 PM

Oooh, a clone thread: Worst Movie Titties Ever.

Not only was the storm perfect, it was a storm! Wow!

Dingleschmutz 05-14-2008 12:39 PM

Ahh, The Perfect Storm. I was wondering who would be the guy to spout off that phrase. I think it was the That Guy from Die Hard 1 and 2, the douchebag reporter.

Flint 05-14-2008 12:41 PM

It would've been funnier if the fat, black cop from Die Hard said it.

Problem is, many of these bad movie titles are in fact book titles.
And the only damn thing that Hollywood keeps in tact when it plunders books is the title anyway.

Just wait til they make the film of my autobiography - Pinko Globe-Trotting Cunt-Kicker. We'll see how valuable my bestselling title is to them!

Dingleschmutz 05-14-2008 02:34 PM

Sometimes a titles so bad it's good though. Muthafuckin' Snakes on a Plane, anyone?

That's dead sexy. Speaking of dead...who would want a snakes on the plane tattoo to take to their grave. "Hey dude. i like the movie. It rocked. Here it is on my arm."

It's going to look real nice when his arm rug grows back in and he has hairy snakes on a plane.

:vomit:
