How to tell if your movie title is shit



This is how movie titles are created today: a puppy is covered in glue and fed a bottle of bourbon, then let loose in a room full of pieces of paper with random words on. After ten minutes, the puppy is released and whichever words are stuck to it are then arranged into order by a blindfolded chicken and divided midway by a colon to form the title.

And so as long as there was breath in my body and intelligent people still casting him, I knew that one day I would meet Timothy
