Episode #42: Great Flicks/ Crappy Titles
November 18th, 2012
- The Lovely Bones
- The Shawshank Redemption
- The Last Samurai
We’ve all been in that situation. You are trying your damnedest to convince a friend/family/lover to screen one of your favorite films & you’re met with resistance & hesitancy. “I don’t know, I don’t usually like that actor." "What’s that? I’ve never heard of it." "Sounds foreign & I don’t do subtitles,” - just a few of the myriad of phrases we here @ the Triforce have heard over the years. Usually these battles are of an uphill & slippery-sloped nature, but are eventually resolved with praise & concurring judgments. Heck, Matt didn't wanna watch Samurai with that title.
Once in a while, the studios (in their ever-present wisdom) slap these amazing films with titles that are, at their best, esoteric and at their worst, downright insulting. Curious yet? Good.
