Which is ironic because King Kong vs Godzilla was originally written as King Kong vs Frankenstein. But they liked the Frankenstein idea so much they went on to make Frankenstein conquers the World. And then a sequel, Frankenstein's Monsters: Sanda vs. Gaira. Which was released in America as The War of the Gargantuas, with the monsters called Gargantuas and all references to Frankenstein removed for some reason.

War of the Gargantuas has multiple references to the first movie, including the word “Frankenstein” in dialogue several times

Sweden also did the "Springtime" thing ("Dracula - Dead and Loving It" was "Springtime for Dracula", for instance). And similar to "Halløj", we had "Pang i Plugget" ("Saved by the Bell", or "[explosion onomatopoeia] in School") and "Pang i Bygget" ("Fawlty Towers", "[explosion onomatopoeia] in the Building", I guess?).

Translations are weird.

That's to translation what calling all video games a "Nintendo" or all CGI movies "a Pixar" is like.

Sherlock is literally a decade old and more or less popularized that iconography of having text messages appear as floating text on screen rather than having characters read text aloud, constantly cutting to screens to show text, or having pointlessly showing holographic displays pop up. Of all the things to criticize it for that isn't one of them.

Women are wonderful animals, they should be making music and writing novels about having a complex relationship with your mother.

Just to be clear, this is what you're defending. This is what you think was important revolutionary film making. This is your favorite thing, you love this.

This is ironically "a pointless holographic display".

Dracula should never be hot. He should be weirdly hot. Gimme a guy who you can't decide whether he's handsome or ugly.

e: Cumberbatch would be a decent pick by that criteria.

That's one of the stupidest examples of it, but you probably already know that. (Honestly the whole ~mind palace~ thing was stupid with or without the text.)

He's talking about this, although the video also points out earlier examples can be found as far back as 2001.

I sometimes come across this in newspaper archives.



The original title was A Modern Marriage and it was released in 1950. Didn't stop someone from adding some scenes with non-original cast later. This thing was still kicking around the second rate circuit in 1967, usually in a twinbill with B-grade horror films.

This stuff made me completely give up on that show, not that I really into it anyway.

If they reboot Columbo and he does that mind palace poo poo, I'd probably have an aneurysm.
