Okay, help me out, guys. Without knowing anything about the movie's plot, besides that it's a comedy/romantic comedy, which of the following titles most gets you interested in seeing or finding out more about the film? (It's a short film, by the way, so it's not the kind of thing you'd see on a billboard or advertised on TV. Rather, it's the ( Read more... )

I'd like it MOST if it were called "Robbyn Robbyns: Portrait of a CFS, AIDS, etc. victim."

That title is too similar to an already in-the-works documentary - Robbyn Robbyns: Portrait of....Man, I'm Tired.

The truth is out there!

Do not do STFU. The festival circuit - what little I've seen of it - is filled with too many colons as it is. (Note the double meaning of that.)

He Loves Me Inside Out is either a deliciously sleazy piece of sexploitative trash (your 12-minute SHOWGIRLS) or a super-ditzy romcom. Either way I'm seeing it.

Ellipses? What are we, poor people? Yeah so...

I do have my favorites, and a couple I would have to be seriously convinced to use, but decided to throw 'em all out there and see what the response is.

It's interesting to get the feedback from those who don't know what it's about.

Do poor people trail off a lot? Or...

I'm going to concur on STFU. It strikes me as insanely amateurish. I don't mind "but he has a great personality..." but it ought to be "...but he has a great personality!" Yes?

S.T.F.U. is the really divisive one. People love or hate it. I tend to think it's too jokey and gimmicky - for my film, anyway - but my manager (and obviously others) seem to like it best. I tend to favor the two "personality" ones.

S.T.F.U. is the one that made me chuckle to myself. And I like chuckling to myself.
