I just hit 3900 if it even matters anymore, what with the implosion of OT.com.

Yeah, that's a good point... There seems to be no method to the name-changing madness.

And to think there's some guy with a ponytail getting paid to say 'that name is OK for Europe but not the US'.

Boggles the mind. Just think of a single good title that suits both markets and use it. And if you're adapting from a book, use the book's title.

Well yeah, the fact that MI:2 sucked also added to me not seeing 3. Tom was the deciding factor though. (Incidently, I heard MI:3 was actually quite good)

Kinda like a BTTF Jerk/Asshole deal? Hmm, good question that. I haven't seen the film for ages and don't remember noticing... Guess I won't find out for a while either. Anyone in the UK care to help?

Another one was Fried Green Tomatoes. In England it was called Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistlestop Cafe, which is a bit more of a mouthful and presumably would stop Americans watching the movie? Baffling.

Formula 51 was called 'The 51st State' in England, suggesting that the UK is basically an extension of the USA. Not sure why an English person would get that but the filmmakers didn't think and American would.

There are more but I can't think right now. I'm not just talking about films with different names in different countries - I'm talking about films that have been dumbed down for the American market. Which is funny since most of the movies are actually American...

Well, perhaps Cosmo is talking about them but very few others are. I just spoke to my brother who works at Blockbuster and he said they have received absolutely no promotional material for this new release. In fact, if it wasn't for me he wouldn't even know they were coming out.

I know they're sub-standard transfers and all, and I know Lucas is treating us all like a bunch of c*nts, but I can feel my resolve to not buy these discs cracking.

Do you hold us all in such contempt Jay? It seems that after the fan****ed debacle you are relishing the departure of certain members and are treating this as an 'out with the old, in with the new' opportunity.

Just wondering where we all stand.

No idea why they changed it over here. It's normally America that gets the dumbed-down sorceror's stone titles, so this is a mystery to me.

May I also take the opportunity to quote this little ditty recently posted by Warbler in the things we hate thread:

How about 'Batman Continues', Batman's Back!!' or 'Batman: The Caped Crusader'?

EDIT: Oh, and can everybody please stop referring to them as the 'Burton/Schumacher' films? Whatver you may think of Burton's movie, they don't deserve to be lumped in with the pieces of shit that followed.

I can guarenty you that line will be "Autobots, transform and roll out!"

Yeah! has to be. Although I would hope and pray that the filmmakers have enough of a clue to include that line without needing the fans to tell them.

I'm wondering how they are gonna do Megatron in this movie. I never really got how he could be a huge robot then transform into a handheld gun... same deal with Prime's trailer...

Sure was. It was in the microscopic print invisible ink section. Loss is the opposite of profit and the opposite of Warbler recieving is giving. It's a very balanced contract.

Yeah Warbler's right - I'm a greedy bastard so I do consider donations to be profit and the contract reflects that.

However, in recent months we have actually made losses, so Warbler owes us money.

To recap, the FrobozzCo lineup is currently as follows:

Me: Owner and Overlord
Warbler: Ruthless Profiteer and Honorary dignitary
Ricardo: OOC
Sybeman: General Manager
Sean Wookie: Company 'Werepire'
Nanner Split: Advertising manager
Hot.Like.Fire: Sexy Secretary
Dork313: Bitch

We might have to address the Sybeman situation if he doesn't show up for work soon...
