The Bleeping Title


I hate how they changed the title to Now Is Good when the original title is Before I Die. They should respect the original. If I'm the author of this book and they turn it into a movie but changes the title, I'll be so pissed off..

Anyone agree?
Disagree?
Why?

Two Hours to Doom/Red Alert = Dr Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.

The Body = Stand By Me

Rita Hayworth's Shawshank Redemption = The Shawshank Redemption

Push = Precious, Based on the Novel Push by Sapphire

Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? = Blade Runner

Sometimes it works. 'Before I Die' is a bit on the nose anyway, and 'The Bucket List' was already taken. I will agree that 'Now is Good' isn't a great title either.

Well, castanz, as lyrical and nice as that sounds, it isn't exactly true. Imagine if, for instance, in a gynecologic exam the doctor was all, "OK I am now going to insert this into your K unt" instead of "Vagina". It may still smell as sweet but so would that girl's compensation money for sexual harrassment.

I laughed so hard at the replies on this thread. I don't particularly like Now is Good either, but it's only slightly worse than Before I Die. I do like the idea of How Soon is Now, though. I probably would have called it that, and probably because of The Smiths, haha.


You heart me? What is that? Is that like I love you for pussies?
