It takes alot of people to make a good thing sound bad.

Cowboys and aliens.

Well it took a lot of people in a board meeting to think up that name,,,

"Well paul what does it include?"
Cowboys against aliens.
"I know what we shall call it...."

What a way to make a film seem worse than it is, give it a name that sums up the entire film in three words.
Even the Return of the king puts a downer on it. I mean even Tolkien didn't decide that name because it was a big fat spoiler before anyone spent the 4 and a half hours watching it.

There's been a history of film names that have done the same. Some with oscar winning actors, the men who stare at goats is one of them. Even star wars, the return of the jedi, the empire strikes back, a new hope. In fact if you wanted to sum up what happens just look at the titles in order and you can work it out.

Theres a new film coming out soon and this one is just brilliant.

Its called.....

THE THING


Im not even joking. Theres a guy who has written a script. It gets picked up by the director and somewhere in that process someone decides to call it that. Perhaps its a homage to the classic film...

THE BLOB


At least this has comedic value.
