[PG] [NSFW] Film Titles That Take on a New Meaning
I was listening to the The Nerdist Podcast with Jonathan as a Guest and they mentioned a game they played with John Hodgman.
I thought it might be fun to play on the forums. It is a little PG rated though....
Think of film titles that take on a whole new plotline when you assume the film is about poo!
Here are some to get you started (that I nicked from the podcast):
The Whole Nine Yards
A river runs through it
Speed 2
Rear Window
If someone wants to list the rest, that would help, I'm working from memory.

Really you guys? I thought that one would be obvious.
PG (at least in the US) tends to mean that it is for a younger audience. And if NWS means Not Work Safe (I think it does) then the more common term would be NSFW (Not Safe For Work, again, where I am in the US.)
