"The Secret of the Ooze" is a pun?

Kim 08-02-2009 05:38 PM

I'd say it's a cheesy enough sounding title that it counts. It's like a second cousin to a pun.

Magus 08-02-2009 09:21 PM

Yeah but you can't just go with exceptions. We have to look at all the ones that support the rule, like Attack of the Clones (cheesy), Matrix Reloaded (pun on computer program being reloaded), etc.

By the way the original title was going to be "Boondock Saints II: The Second Coming"

So they took one pun that referenced it as a sequel and then replaced it with a pun that references the "Saints" part of the title. Whether that is an improvement I'm not sure.

By the way, the first movie is alright and I'm not sure why there are long essays against it, though I think it has something to do with the insane love expressed for the movie beyond any real reason (it IS a somewhat sophomoric attempt to copycat Pulp Fiction's style something like three years too late) as well as the director Troy Duffy, who is at best described as "an asshole" or something along those lines. But yeah I never watched the "Making of" featurette or anything so I only have the movie to go by, and hey. It was okay.

It's a cult movie. you can never make a sequel for a cult movie.

They made a sequel to Rocky Horror...

Wigmund 08-02-2009 10:47 PM

They did?

P-Sleazy 08-02-2009 11:01 PM

They also made a sequel to Troll and then again another sequel to that one. Which incidentally the second one had nothing to do with the first and the third had nothing to do with the first two. Not even the monsters were related in any way.

Magus 08-02-2009 11:24 PM

Also the Evil Dead sequels were way better than the schlocky original, if you ask me.

krogothwolf 08-02-2009 11:27 PM

And a sequel to Heavy Metal.

They also made a Video Game based on The Warriors

They'll do crap with cult classics if it'll = more money

Magus 08-02-2009 11:41 PM

To be fair, calling the original a "cult classic" when it's just a little over a decade old is kind of pushing it, I think.

I mean, if they made a sequel to The Toxic Avenger, I'd say they were making a sequel to a cult classic, but this is merely a sequel to a "cult" film (even though I think everyone my age that I know has seen it, in high school and such).
