What's In a Name? Bond & Indiana Jones Don't Smell as Sweet
Quantum of Solace. That is the title of the next 007 film. I liked it better when it was simply Bond 22. I'm sure the film will kick ass, much like Casino Royale did. So I suppose a questionably lame title will suffice.
And then there is Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. Need I say more? See for yourselves.
Then again, I remember the hoopla and ridicule when two of the 'new' Star Wars sequels were named The Phantom Menace and Attack of the Clones. Silly titles certainly had no effect on their record-breaking grosses.
I'm sure that both the new Indy and the new Bond films will also rake it in this year, and I admit that I will be among the masses clamoring for tickets to both when they open.
The Indiana Jones title is WAY worse than the Bond title. They are both pretty bad though.
The silly titles of the Star Wars flicks pale in comparison to the silliness of the actual movies. Maybe that is why Lucas named them what he did? He thought, "I better come up with a really lame name because these movies suck."
