Best part was the dude who drank the water and got split in half by the Ghost Shark OH and the kids getting eaten. Mmm yes.
I have to admit, I got a real kick out of the part when the girl stabbed Ghost Shark with a spear and it exploded.

My point is exactly the opposite of the claim you just made, just now. The title gives you a vague concept of a single exploitable narrative aspect. Good writing and direction can make masterpieces from terrible titles; just look at I Walked with a Zombie.
What you are talking about is an exception to the rule. There are MANY movies that are bad and you can tell that by simply looking at the title of it. And if you can tell that, why watch it, then bitch about it's shittiness?
I will explain slowly why you are wrong.

Good movies (or book, or paintings, or pretty much any form of creative expression) are always the exception to the rule, regardless of genre, title, or subject matter.

And there is absolutely no title which, in and of itself, definitively rules out the possibility of a good story being told.

GTAV didn't arrive, but I figured out why. It turns out I used the wrong credit card that had to low a maximum to get the Collector's Edition, so we switched credit cards and it should arrive soon.

Well I have an essay due tomorrow for LA that we were supposed to only do in class, but seeing how I didn't finish and I really need the time, I sneaked it outside the class so I can do it for HW, in which I am not supposed to do... I hope my teacher doesn't find out...

I found out the job I just got 2 weeks ago is only seasonal and that I'll probably be fired when Halloween is over. Its a job at a Party City. I talked to some people who said that they were seasonal at first and just never got let go but still I'm so pissed especial since I was saving most the money I'd be making for stuff going on next spring and summer.

Also, can someone please explain to me how history and culture can influence a people's relationship? It's a bit off-topic, but it plays relevant to what's ruining my day.

Could you ask a slightly more specific question? Because a person literally could not live long enough to throughly answer the one you asked.

I honestly tried to simplify an already long and convoluted answer and I'm still trying to but my brain just keeps saying "Drive read error: Abort/Retry/Ignore?"

Russell, you have my sympathies. Here, have this bottle of CVS brand Antibiotic & Pain Relief. I would've sprung for Neosporin, but well... I'm cheap.

Wait, so, did you just ask the board to do your homework for you? :)

Easy, some cultures have a forced/arranged marriage which can not only affect the relationship of the two in the marriage but what if one of them loves someone else. Look at Romeo and Juliet and in American culture the Hatfield and the McCoy feud, you can have old rivals in families but a stress on a budding relationship, and led to tragedy or have a member of the opposing family kill one of the two.

^Quick n easy response but it gives you an idea were to start.

Hindsight Edit: F'my life, should have PM'd that. Sorry :oops:
