A frivolous meme on Twitter tonight was #nicertitle; re-write the title of a film to make it just a little big more pleasant.

Here's my efforts (real name in brackets):

• Unhealthily Obsessive Attraction (Fatal Attraction)
• Romper Tread-Lightly-er (Romper Stomper)
• OK, I Have Some Sympathy for Lady Vengeance (No Sympathy for Lady Vengeance)
• The Unauthorized Diversion of Pelham 123 (The Taking of Pelham 123)
• The Good, the Anti-Social and the Aesthetically-Challenged (The Good, The Bad and The Ugly)
• Ichii the Kisser (Ichii the Killer)

This list from Paste magazine offers up what it calls the top 25 foreign-language films of the 2000s so far.

I've seen 19 of the 25 on the list. My tastes largely coincide with those of listmaker Jeremy Medina.

I normally don't blog much about salacious Hollywood gossip, but the weird death of actor David Carradine makes me think of this clip from Kill Bill 2:

Bill (Carradine's character): Isn't it supposed to be bad luck for the groom to see the bride in her wedding dress before the ceremony?

Hubby-to-be Tommy Plympton (leans in): I guess I just believe in living dangerously

Bill: I know just what you mean
