I remember seeing a Tiktok a while back that was talking about how a large number of French titles of films just add "Sex" to the film title. For example "Eurotrip" just becomes "Sex Trip"

Think I'm sick of Patrick Wilson in general. Never seen an aquaman but I don't think I'm a fan of the guy as an actor

He's never really beefed it but I can't think of anyrhing I've genuinely thought "hell yeah Patrick Wilson you turned up and made good"

Apparently unchanged.

Some other examples:

No Strings Attached -> Sex Friends
Wild Things -> Sexcrimes
Not Another Teen Movie -> Sex Academy

The Hillary Swank race drama movie Freedom Writers is known as Écrire Pour Exister In French.

It’s not a great title, but the bizarre thing is that Écrire Pour Exister translates back to English as Write To Exist.

So the French is an untranslatable pun that only works in English, yet wasn’t used for the actual English title of this very American movie.

I think it was pretty funny when Patrick Wilson showed up in the original Aquaman, and if I remember correctly he wasn't in the start of In the Tall Grass so it was a pleasant surprise when he showed up.

SuperMechagodzilla posted:

I also really liked that nobody really refers to him by his codename in Part 2, so it’s like ‘we gotta stop David before he blows up the device’ and so-on. It’s not played as a joke; that’s just his name.

It's much more ridiculous than that. They only refer to him by his full name, David Kane.

Aquaman 2 was entertaining but it's a real dumb movie.

Kentucky Fried Movie is Hamburger Film Sandwich in French.

Weird Al has a story about how when making UHF, the studio asked him for suggestions for overseas titles because UHF means nothing outside the US. He suggested something like “Vidiots” or “The Vidiot”, and so the overseas title became “The Vidiot from UHF” and so at every foreign press junket he was asked why the film was called that.

Ben Platt was around 27 when they would have been filming Dear Evan Hansen and while I'm sure there are older people who have played high schoolers he definitely looks like he's the oldest.

Goddamn, Get on Your Knees by Jacquline Novak might be an all timer stand up special. It's her first one and it's fuckin' crazy funny. A genius throwing jokes away at a mile a minute

I also really liked the fight where Jackie Chan gets attacked by five guys with swords and he keeps taking their swords away. Chan didn't invent that style of fight, where they keep trading an object back and forth in clever ways, right? But he's so loving good at it.
