For the TWQ (The Weekend Question), we look at what films would be titled if they had a lesser budget.
Can you list what some film titles would be if they had been made on a very tight budget? Name as many as you like.
My answers are:
One Dalmation
Harry Potter & The Philosopher's Pebble
Star War II: Attack Of The Clone.
The Fairly Ordinary Two (from The Magnificent Seven)
Happy Foot
Now it's over to you...
Wow, Jean-Luc...that's a tricky one......
ReplyDelete'One Thing I Dislike About You'
'One Whole Yard'
'One and a Half Weeks'
'Crouching Kitten, Hidden Gecko'
hehehe
Michele sent me to say hi, as I'm at home sick this weekend.

This is a clever twist on the classic comedy routine by Victor Borge called "Inflationary Language," in which words that contain a number are increased by one (e.g., "wonderful" becomes "twoderful"). That said, my choices are:
ReplyDeleteSix
None Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Thousand, Nine Hundred Ninety-Nine Years B.C.
The Puppy of the Baskervilles
and
Agnes of Idol
Great idea...I can't wait to see the other replies!
