Quote - Or, you could go the Chinese route; I heard a story that they tend to like very literal titles, and so the title of "The Crying Game" was changed to "Oh No! My Girlfriend Has A Penis".
ROFLMAO :lol:
I do think a good title is probably both descriptive and a little surreal... I always liked Philip K. Dick's titles... e.g. "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep", "We Can Remember It for You Wholesale" or "The Zap Gun".
The film adaptions of those first two obviously bore very different titles, even in their English language versions...
