I'm not complaining about it, I'm saying it's a perfectly functional film title which is nothing but the main character's name.

you could re-cycle most of those to pretty much any production involving Reed or Winner - Ollie Reed trying to sleep with an elephant was probably a not uncommon event

Lyrics of the extended 12" version?

 

[nuffsaid]

Pocahontas ("What the heck is a 'Pocahontas'?")

Have you not heard the story of Pocahontas? Seems an ok film title, it was obviously going to be about her life story, which was very interesting.

Anyway - John Carter - now that's a fictitious name, unlike Pocahontas, and about an adventure on Mars, that's a title that doesn't really give you much detail on the content.

"We've got this movie about a Civil War general called John Carter who finds a Spider Cave of Gold and has thrilling adventures on Mars, what should we call it?"

"How about - "John Carter"?"

No wonder their movie lost $200 million.

But after watching it I really enjoyed it.
