: Raiders isn't the only film being given the axe as far as
: names are concerned. Michael Crichton's 1976 book, Eaters of the ,
: which was filmed two years ago (starring Antonio Banderas) was touted
: as Eaters of the in a commercial AND on novels with movie covers
: last year. NOW there is a commercial on E! network that calls it:
: The Thirteenth Warrior (which is a REALLY sucky, stupid-sounding name)
: I mean think about it, which movie would you rather go see:
: The Thirteenth Warrior OR Eaters of the ? I think it's obvious.
: Someone would have to be brain-dead to not know that the title
: Eaters of the sounds WAY cooler, not to mention more grim.
: There was even news that Crichton was extremely displeased to know
: that they were changing the name of his movie. (For those of you
: who are interested, EATERS OF THE comes out around August 16).
