Pinoy movie title massacre: Lord, ano ba ito?

Flori

Nestor Torre of the Philippine Daily Inquirer has a very interesting article called, “Wanted: More creative and evocative movie titles … please.”

Come to think of it, the list of Pinoy movies has been deluged with titles such as:

Iputok Mo… Dadapa Ako (1990)
Kapag Ang Palay Naging Bigas… May Bumayo (2002)
Romeo Loves Juliet… But Their Families Hate Each Other! (1989)

And don’t forget those Carlo J. Caparas masscare movie titles. I mean, he has his moments but sometimes the titles are just too… out there. Hmm…

I cringe.

Yung bloopers ng ginagawa naming short thriller film na nag-re-revolve around an elevator will have “Kapag bumukas, may pumindot” as a title. LOL
