Exactly the kind of response I was hoping for! You're not so bad after all, zOtx. But nah, I wasn't particularly hurt. I kept repeating the word in a sort of tongue-and-cheek manner, deliberately overusing it to make a... pointless point (and to mock you, which was mean).
I do admit the title sucks, anyway. I really do. But as you stated later, there are exceptions. Quite many, actually. But indeed. It is usually quite important to have a intriguing title to make people remotely interested (something What Happens In Vegas... fails to do out of pure lamesauce), especially when it comes to the mainstream crowd. It inevitably holds true with me as well, but if the genre is, say, thriller, horror or sci-fi, I'll look into it regardless of whether it's called Quantum Strain, Killer Space Monkeys, Cut Night or Born Unborn or whatever. I still don't think it actually does make a difference when it comes to the movie itself, though. However, it's always more fun to say you like a movie if it's called something cool like Re-Animator instead of, I dunno, Big Fish (sounds like a pseudo-intellectual's choice... hides deep meaning lols).
Anyway, I still don't agree with the rating per se being ridiculously funny. Maybe it's funny in the sense that the creators so utterly failed to create something people like. But yeah, ratings themselves hold little meaning to me. I've watched and loved a lot of movies that have around 3/10 on IMDb (admittedly, they are schlockfests and practically "so bad they're good", but regardless, I found A LOT more entertainment in them than many movies with over 5/10).
Still, sorry if I offended you. I realize I shouldn't have been such an ass about it. There were no real harm in what you said.
In all my life, I will never love a woman the way this officer loved that lip ferret.
