Ingenious. Too bad they screwed up the capitalization. Yeah, I'm that guy.

I laughed the hardest at changing James M. Cain's Double Indemnity to Love, Actuary.

127 Hours became A Farewell to Arm. Giggle.

More right-wing bullshit, disguised as left-wing bullshit. Huh? Say, what?

These are hilarious. I loved the Twain title but then read Gus's mention of Love, Actuary, a title which is even better, and then TVDinner's mention of A Farewell to Arm which is absolutely brilliant. I don't think it's possible to outwit that one.

How about changing Norman Mailer's book title to "The Clothing Optional and the Passed On"? or Harper Lee's Masterpiece to "To Go Birdwatching Mockingbirds"?
