I make fun of things I like. I don't like it when others do. I can get away with that shit, but woe betide anyone else who tries. tongue

Spooky: Its a pretty bad joke and pretty unfunny if you ask me.

Riiight, did you actually watch their videos or just watched one and walked off in the disgust?

Maybe you should watch their self parody video :p

Spooky: I have seen a couple. There is no funny joke. I find your definition of humor to be very questionable in this regard.

I saw the trailer for this movie. The whole time I was wondering if it was based on a video game, or had a video game tie-in. Turns out it doesn't!

It does. It's a mobile thingy though.

I don't have a device capable of playing either version so I don't know how good or how crappy it actually is as a game.

I played it on a laptop once. It's...alright. It's just a rail shooter, though the graphics are nice for a mobile game.

If there was any doubt as to how great Emily Blunt is, she also thinks that All You Need is Kill is a better title than Edge of Tomorrow or 'Live. Die. Repeat.

Eh. I think both titles are fine, or problematic in their own ways anyway.

All You Need Is Kill has edge, though. It makes you sit up and wonder "Huh, what's that about?" Edge of Tomorrow is just bland and Live. Die. Repeat. is just stupid.

Live. Die. Repeat. is the most descriptive though. That's what happens in the film.

I still think it's better as the tagline.

Yeah, it works as a tagline but is utterly dumb as a title.

I like the original title, and the one it has now. All You Need is Kill is a Beatles reference, and I despise them with the heat of a thousand suns, so I didn't like that title at all.

Yes, but what does "Edge of Tomorrow" mean? What meaning does it have to the title?

It describes Cage's situation. He spends the entire movie battling over the next day (and resetting to the previous day when things goes wrong), and in all of his simulations it is imperative he stops the invasion before tomorrow's end. So metaphorically speaking, he's fighting at the edge of tomorrow.

I personally think Edge of Tomorrow has a very cool vibe to it. It rolls off my tongue better.

Live. Die. Repeat. works as a tagline. I'm not so much a fan of it as an actual title.

All You Need Is Kill would work better if the movie were full-on comedy instead of an action movie with comedic elements.

[up]Maybes. But it's still a Beatles reference, gosh darn it all to heck. tongue

[up] On which note, every time I think of 'All You Need Is Kill', it makes me want to start humming the chorus but with the replacement lyrics.

Makes it very difficult to take it seriously as a serious movie title.
