Worst Movie Title of the Year?

Post by Pink Freud »

Just imagine how many people will hunker down for two hours to watch "Winner", expecting a feel-good movie about a star athlete...or a lottery winner...or someone who overcame long odds to triumph.

Nope. Here's what they'll see, courtesy of the New York Times fall movies preview:

This biopic follows the life of Reality Winner (played by Emilia Jones), a former National Security Agency contractor who was convicted after leaking a classified report about Russian interference in the 2016 United States presidential election.

Yes, it's titled "Winner".

Like Steve Mizerany often warned us, "Don't be confused!".

Maybe you should watch the movie so you will gain what we call in the biz, "context".

I watched Longlegs a few weeks ago, there wasn't a single spider in the whole film. Just FYI.

I saw Blow Up and nobody blew up.
I saw Blazing Saddles and did not see any saddles on fire.
I saw Oh God and it was George Burns.

Sorry, but delivering DoorDash pizza to someone watching a movie at home does not put you "in the biz".

You're not going to watch the movie, are you? Hack.

Slight spoiler below :

Re : Winner - perhaps the title is making some sort of statement either about the whistleblower, or the state in detecting/apprehending them.

It was interesting. The dilemma of a person facing a moral crisis / acting as whistleblower - a skillful interrogation. A dog orphaned.

Worth seeing.

The guy posts garbage all over the various topics...he's got a running daily thread on Cards Talk about the White Sox...he's obviously in an assisted living facility?

"Joker: Folie a Deux" is the worst title of the year, by a long shot.

Also, FYI, Gaga and Phoenix will be singing Burt Bacharach songs, a capella. Do with that info what you will.

The 80s comedies nailed it.

I saw Airplane and it was about an Airplane
I saw Caddyshack and it was about some caddies.
I saw Fletch and it was about a guy named I. Fletcher
I saw the Sure Thing and it was about a sure thing.

It's striker. Hope all is well NB.
