So u can't expect them to give the film a different name when it's based on a book. <BR/><BR/>Anyway, who cares about the title! The book is beautiful and the film looks great, can't wait to see it. Why should the title matter: 'Don't judge a book by it's cover'.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10759084.post-48739458928778312382008-09-18T14:31:00.000-04:002008-09-18T14:31:00.000-04:00I blogged awhile back about the johnny-come-lately...I blogged awhile back about the johnny-come-lately media sensation behind spelling bees, a sensation that still baffles me a bit. I wonder if these writers actually come up with crappy "bee" titles, or if focus groups steer title-making into a mind-deadening realm.<BR/><BR/>Also, doesn't it bother you the never-ending parade of gerund-preceding titles? i.e. "Judging Amy", "Watching Ellie", "Crossing Jordan", etc. These titles don't even make sense! Judging Amy do what? Crossing Jordan what? You mean you're crossing her path? Crappy titles like this just are... are... wrong.is that so wrong?https://www.blogger.com/profile/17381583480546191643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10759084.post-89506517078017766632008-09-18T11:20:00.000-04:002008-09-18T11:20:00.000-04:00The plot of The American's Wife's Beekeeping Secre...The plot of The American's Wife's Beekeeping Secret: her bees make oil, not honey.J.J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07815005929352267468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10759084.post-60235449345417896182008-09-18T08:47:00.000-04:002008-09-18T08:47:00.000-04:00The American's Wife's Beekeeping SecretThe American's Wife's Beekeeping SecretMike zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158138863301039389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10759084.post-21532133461605000172008-09-17T10:49:00.000-04:002008-09-17T10:49:00.000-04:00The Secret American Beekeeper's WifeThe Secret American Beekeeper's WifeAlannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07379022159566734705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10759084.post-63887881142226679282008-09-16T22:12:00.000-04:002008-09-16T22:12:00.000-04:00Or titles that use the word "American" as the sole...Or titles that use the word "American" as the sole adjective.<BR/><BR/>American Beauty, American History X, American Pie, American Gangster, American Psycho, American Graffiti, American Splendor, The Quiet AmericanMike zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18158138863301039389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10759084.post-31970381385657233822008-09-16T17:31:00.000-04:002008-09-16T17:31:00.000-04:00Unimaginative and kind of sexist.
