What are you talking about, it's a great name!
My beef with it is the fact that it is a long, loaded, biased title that seems to exist for the sole reason of summarizing the movie's plot.**
As I said, I haven't seen it. It is just that what is seems like from the outside.

It exists because it's based on the novel of the same name.

Also the reason for titles like this is so you go into the movie/book/whatever knowing this plot point that the main characters do not. It makes you look differently at the whole thing. I haven't seen this film but I am guessing the 'twist' is not the focus but more the characters.

A cumbersome title perhaps but from the trailer it seems that the title deliberately informs you of a circumstance in order to set up a movie that explores the characters, motivations and consequences without the actual act itself overshadowing everything.

Stardust was freaking awesome - why didn't anyone tell me this movie was so good?

Saw There Will Be Blood yesterday. A very good film but not, I feel, a great one. Why? For the life of me I can't figure that out. It had great acting, directing, cinematography, soundtrack etc but it just didn't come together for me. Definitely want to see it again on DVD so maybe that will change.
Next up for me: Rescue Dawn: Yay! I get to see a Herzog film on the big screen!

Is it? The book was absolutely
terrible.
I might have to rent it.
