well for the media analysis that it is, i thought it was fitting. it's not a flashy title and not thought-provoking.
maybe you're right, it's rubbish

I haven't yet summoned the requiste courage to watch this one; the original, that is. I probably won't watch the remake, even if I ever get the nerve to watch the original. I hear it's quite harrowing.

"Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Undead"
This is described as a horror comedy, out later this year...the title does command attention, but will the target audience get the joke?

You just know the title came before the script. That usually bodes ill.

It's about vampires and Hamlet; the screenwriter said that it's an effort to create a trilogy with Hamlet and Stoppard's Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. He is at least ambitious.

"The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2"
There was another movie with this title? It practically guarantees that there won't be a single male in the audience.

Hollywood Titles get lost in translation
The Chinese title for "Knocked Up" is priceless.

I didn't think there was ever any doubt. If there has been, for whatever reason, let's settle it now. It's an awful title.

Well I glad you were able to give us the definitive answer. Personally I think it's a great title and QoS happens to be my favorite of Ian Fleming's short stories.

Frasier, Lost, and Whose Line Is It Anyway? are the best tv shows ever.

Well it is pretentious as hell to say the least, but then again, its a James Bond flick, so its going to be over-the-top anyway.

It's confusing, awkward, weird, vague, and just doesn't do it for me. I grew to like "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". I always liked the prequel titles. "Michael Clayton", I'll agree, is dull. This one, however, I'll just try and numb myself to, like how I don't think about how silly-sounding "Batman Begins" is any more. Though at least that gives you a hint as to the content. 
Looking forward to the movie at any rate, but there is a reason this title is the last to get used.
