Yeah, Blade Runner and Total Recall.  By strange coincidence, I was talking about those two films with my band mate Alan, tonight.

Book and film titles work to a different set of criteria from pictures, IMO.  There's generally no room for ambiguity in a film title, given the aggressively commercial nature of the market and book titles can sometimes afford to be arty, pretentious, weird or just plain daft because there's often room - within the story - to make the reason behind it perfectly clear.

With a picture, the visual idea is right there immediately so the title is really a secondary thing, really a placeholder more than anything.  I think the only time I've used a title for a pic that's not a direct correlation to the image is "Everybody's Happy Nowadays" but even then, it's supposed to be an ironic comment on the idea we could all upload ourselves to a super computer, live forever and not suffer diseases.  Most likely at the price of losing whatever it is makes us human, since I am convinced body and mind are inextricably linked.
