Russell Crowe is in a film called "The Exorcism" this year when he already did the completely unrelated "The Pope's Exorcist" last year, and there already exists movies like "The Last Exorcist", "The Exorcism of God", "The Exorcism of Emily Rose", and, of course, "The Exorcist"

there is a movie called "Trunk - Locked in", about... you guessed it, being locked in a trunk; and another called "Buried", about... you guessed it, someone who finds themselves buried alive

I have to think "Snakes On A Plane" was a piss take of this titling phenomenon and I respect that

last night I did a rewatch of one of my favourite horror films with an incredibly simple premise, "A Dark Song"; the title is evocative, intriguing, non-literal, yet perfectly describes events
Have you heard of the movie "Cowboys vs. Aliens"? :lol:

Never. Everyone I know (myself included) would just send it as a text.

No

Well, one old guy I used to work with loved to show me YouTube videos on his phone of various synthesizers. But that was a while ago

He was always too afraid to accept my challenge. Also I think maybe he got banned from chess.com for being mean to children
