SubUrbia, eXistenZ - titles with a mix of upper and lower case letters are just annoying.

I thought there were come really bad titles last year.

"The Widowmaker"
"Ecks Vs. Sever"

Of course, the titles were as bad as the movies so I guess it fits.

I don't know, it's the Martin Lawrence stand up film.  I guess it means "run until that" or something because he got into some sort of trouble with the law after a smoke.  Anyway, it's a horrible title.

Half Past Dead
Helldorado
Dogma
Big Daddy
Dude, Where's My Car
K19:The Widowmaker

As for 'Run Tel Dat', I think it means-you like something (the film) and you run and tell that to others?

I dunno, it's Martin Lawrence though, you gotta give him credit for not putting the word 'ass' in the title (he says it in every sentence when he's on screen in any movie!)

The upcoming "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World"

They actually made the film's website http://www.masterandcommanderthefarsideoftheworld.com/

Any movie with two part titles, like k:19 The Widomaker or Master/Commander: The Far Side Of The World, usually are not very good. Star Wars and LOTR movies are exempt from this rule, however, because the colon is used in distinguishing parts of a series.

Helldorado is now known as the Untitled The Rock project. I wish they had stuck with Helldorado, because that would have easily gone down as the worst title of all time.

My favorite title of all time, "Dancing About Architecture", gets changed before release to the completely generic "Playing By Heart".

In the same vein, "Animal Husbandry" became "Someone Like You".

Don't forget Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb. It's got two parts, but it's not a bad title.

ya know what pisses me off is, when porno movies take normal movie titles and they twist them, the films they make are never as witty as the title implies

I ask you how many amongst us have been burned by " EDWARD Penishands" :: sobs::

that film turned out to be no where as funny as that image it created in my head . Bummer !!!

Lets not even get into " coming in America" the cover even had a guy dressed like Eddie Murphy, its for this reason alone I am not renting " the ozporns"

worst movie title ever: LXG.  it wouldn't have been so bad if they didn't make it an acronym---nobody knows what the fuck LXG is unless you're a comic fan, which so many of us are.

speaking of which, most cleavage in a movie poster ever

Any movie with two part titles, like k:19 The Widomaker or Master/Commander: The Far Side Of The World, usually are not very good.

this year the film industry went CRAZY with colons.

• Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
• Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street
• The Water Horse: Legend of the Deep
• In the Name of the King: A Dungeon Siege Tale

the Subect: Description documentaries --

• Jimmy Carter: Man from Plains,
• Joe Strummer: The Future Is Unwritten,
• Kurt Cobain About a Son should have one but apparently AJ Schnack thinks he's too cool for colons.

not to mention the countless colonized sequels  --

• Alien vs. Predator: Requiem
• National Treasure: Book of Secrets
• Elizabeth: the Golden Age
• Hostel: Part II
• Fantastic Four: Rise of The Silver Surfer
• Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End

2007: year of the colon.
