Ever seen the name of a movie in the TV listings and waited patiently to watch it, not knowing a think about it?
I remember seeing that "Birdman of Alcatraz" was coming on later in the evening one day as a kid.
I started thinking about what this movie would be about, a giant creature, part man, part bird. Probably swooping down to grab people, peck down buildings, screech really loudly.
I'm sure you can imagine my disappointment when I watched and discovered that the 'Birdman of Alcatraz' was in fact a prisoner, that kept birds. It may well have been a good movie, I don't know, it just wasn't what I expected.
So, ever been deceived by a name?
And I'm not telling the story about when I stayed up late to watch "3 Ladies and a Sailor"

I remember on new years eve, 'The Running Man' was on. We all stayed up to watch as it said in the paper that it was the Arne film. I was the only one who had seen it so I said to everyone, let's watch it. It was on pretty early in the morning. About 4:00am I think. It started and I must say I didn't really remember any of it. I thought it was probably a movie that they were watching in prsion at the start. After about 25 minutes, somebody said that it really wasn't a very good action film. It turned out to be a film made in the 1950's about a man who faked his own death and then ran away from the insurance company. He was a man and was running, hence the name Running Man. Goddamn newspaper got it wrong.

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon - Must've been crouching low and they were VERY well hidden dragons.
