Lame titles for movies or tv shows

[caj]

There are some titles given to films or tv shows that can only be described as lame.

For example, "All The Pretty Horses". I know the film is based on a book by that name, but they should've come up with a better title for the film.

It's a great name. From a nursery rhyme. Which belies the dark McCarthy story.

I thought the recent "Project Power" Jamie Fox Netflix movie had a very lame title.

"Extant" is sort of an awkard word.

"The B-- in Apt. whatever" and "!@$!$! My Dad Says" -- Shows with a swear word (even masked) in the title will probably never become water cooler friendly.

It's like they took two very real comic series and mashed them together.

"Abominable" Disney kids movie about a yeti. Yeah def coulda came up with a better name why not snowman or even Yeti. " Can I get a ticket for Abominable?" Can't see how they thought that would work.

I liked the movie, hated the name.

Whiskey Cavalier on ABC, how can anyone give that name to a tv show and not expect it to cancel?

Its a much better name than The Road and I like it as well.

"Cougartown" - even the creator regretted that name.

"Selfie" - a decent show that had an uphill climb because of the name.

"Touch" - a tv show about a man and a boy .... and that's where everyone tuned out.

Thor: Love and Thunder - I'm still hoping its a working title and it gets changed into something less laughable.

God Friended Me - I literally get annoyed watching the NFL when I have to hear this being advtised just because of the dumbass title.

Freddy's Dead: The Final Nightmare - Word? You couldn't just go with A Nightmare on Elm Street 6? Hell The Final Nightmare could have been its subtitle and it still works fine. But if you want to advertise that this is the movie where Freddy dies, just market it that way. Don't name it that. Which leads to...

Jason Goes To Hell: The Final Friday - The exact same thought. Friday The 13th Part IX: The Final Friday. Marketed as the movie that kills off Jason (though none of these films did end the franchises, of course).

Most all movies with Vs. in the title, the only exceptions being Kaiju films.

Remember the trend in the late 90s where so many shows had the character's name in the title:

Suddenly Susan
Caroline In The City
Judging Amy
Veronica's Closet

Maybe we're all used to it now that the show got so big and popular, but 'Supernatural' is such a lazy title.

To be fair though, as on the nose the title is, it really does hit almost every aspect of the supernatural.

Dragon Ball Evolution. In all honesty, it was more than a step back on the evolution scale for the Dragon Ball franchise.

Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker

Star Trek: Into Darkness

Body of Lies

Thank you for not smoking.

Two Guys, A Girl And A Pizza Place (the Pizza Place was dropped but that didn't help it)
Homeboys In Outerspace (only in the 90's could this work)
Schitt's Creek (how do you even bring that up in conversation)

[RockyHorror]

The Bridges of Madison County. Made me not want to read the book, and made me not want to see a movie co-starring 2 two of my favorite actors. And I live in Iowa. Stupid, pointless title.
