Movie Titles

[bhskittykatt]

The nearby theatre is playing "Battle: L..A." and "The Adjustment Bureau". While we were in line buying tickets for the latter, a woman a couple groups up apparently flubbed the title of the movie she wanted to see. She apologized, and the manager said it was fine, that he'd heard all sorts of interesting flubs from customers ans she was far from the worst offender. He expressed his annoyance at the particularly high number of customers who requested "Battlefield Earth" when they meant "Battle for L.A."

The next guy in line walked up with a big grin and, without missing a beat, asked for two tickets to "Battle Bureau." (It took the theatre manager a brief moment to process he was just being a smartass.)

I feel sorry for the customers who wanted to see Battlefield Earth.

See? even I get it wrong. I will fix. You are right.

Heh. I remember when The Last Samurai was out, and I heard a woman request a ticket to "The Last Summary"

When I worked at Hasting's, we got people asking for the "Twin Towers". You know, the second movie in the LOTR trilogy.

My gaming group went to see it.

The only movie I've ever heckled aloud in the theatre.

It didn't help that the rest of the theatre was doing it too.

I think we got our money's worth in spontanious MST3K moments.

Perhaps I should steal that title: The Battle Bureau.
