Movie Titles get dumber
Lately, I've noticed that the powers-that-be who create movie titles are just getting lazy. Case in point, Fast & Furious as opposed to The Fast and the Furious. These are two different movies with nearly the same title.
Just when I thought it was just a blip on the movie radar, here comes The Final Destination. Here's a sample conversation on how people will distinguish between this movie from its original, Final Destination:
"Hey, did you see the new previews for The Final Destination?"
"Uh, yeah. About nine years ago."
"No -- The Final Destination. New title -- it has 'The' ."
"Oh, THE Final Destination. Wow. This must be THE final one then! Awesome."
Basically, the "The" in the title is about as subtle as Clark Kent's glasses.
Here's a clip of THE Final Destination. I'm really glad to see that horror films are venturing into Racetrack territory. I hope there's a cameo by Danica Patrick!
