The Title Of This Blog Is 'Me On A Tirade'

By now, maybe you have heard about Samuel L. Jacksons new movie Snakes On A Plane.

The upcoming summer release has already found a huge cult following on the internet solely because of its title. Fan-produced trailers scour the internet. Hollywood screenwriter Josh Friedman has deemed it the perfect title. And even Sam Jackson himself admitted that it was the only reason he took the job.

I am not kidding.

When studio executives attempted to change the title to Pacific Air Flight 121 (which admittedly, is actually much worse) there was outrage on the web, forcing the suits to switch it back.

Pretty wild, eh?

At least with that title, I will not have to waste any time telling you what the movie is about, but come on - if the title is any sign of the film itself, be sure to wear your dunce cap to the theatre because there is a good chance you will actually walk out dumber than you were walking in.

Ya know, it kinda made me wonder what other famous movies might have been better served by a similarly-plot-direct title as Snakes On A Plane. Who knows right? Would King Kong have been better served if it were called Monkey On A Building?

What about Brokeback Mountain? Kind of a confusing title, right? 2 Men On A Fishing Trip (But Not Really Fishing) seems to make a little more sense to me.

And ofcourse the new animated family flick The Wild seems a bit too ambiguous to me. Would it not be clearer if it were just called Capitalizing On The Success Of Madagascar?

Just a thought.
