It is the end of summer and all the blockbuster movies have been shown. Not quite blockbusters, but maybe block-chippers.
The movie industry has struggled over the years to create movies that would interest and inspire the public. There have been some great movies with great titles.

Gladiator—with Russell Crowe—had a big draw. The simple title, the historical accurate filming (well, maybe), and the actor made for a blockbuster.
Ghostbusters—Dan Ackroyd, Bill Murray, Ernie Hudson, and Harold Rami—was a unique title with a unique premise and host of SNL hits. People still watch it, despite all the movies that this hit spawned.
Then there are the awful bombs. Do you remember The Attack of the Killer Tomatoes? If you don’t, then you are lucky. How about I Was a Teen-age Werewolf with Michael Landon? The list can be pretty long.
What about these titles as possible movies? These are from a brain fog moment:
The Bloody Reign of the Duck Kings
Life and times of the Amoebas in Santa Fe
When Granite Dreams
Going, Going, Gone: Salt Flats Tortoise Memoirs
Cirque du Slugs
Rise and Fall of Gravitational Tendencies
Sex in Lettuce Beds
Okay, this is just plain silly, and I know it. But recently I heard that Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles was making a comeback.
I had to say something.
