While watching the Oscars with some friends, the conversation turned to discuss the merits of the 80's classic movie,
The Beastmaster. We came to the conclusion that is the perfect movie title because it tells you exactly what the movie is about. There is a guy and he is the master of beasts. Fuck the plot. Fuck the dialog. That's all you need to know compacted down to two words. Using this as a basis, I've decided that all movie titles should follow this template.
