EIGHT-LEGGED FREAKS!!! (aka ARAC ATTACK)
Hey folks, Harry here.... Got this rumor in, I'm working on getting it confirmed right now, but if Warner Brothers drops the name ARAC ATTACK in favor of EIGHT-LEGGED FREAKS, I will shower them with praises as.... EIGHT-LEGGED FREAKS is the Greatest Title Ever!!!! The font would be SUPREME in Hairy THE THING/SUSPIRA Grotesque Lettering... The frigging song EIGHT-LEGGED FREAKS, if you had it written by like the Red Elvises or even better THE FLAME TRICK SUBS!!! IT would rule the freaking world! EIGHT-LEGGED FREAKS is one of the great Giant Bug Titles Of All Time! ARAC ATTACK was so Eighties Shite it wasn't even funny... hell... not even that, it was Nineties Nonsense. EIGHT-LEGGED FREAKS, I want the poster, and that 45 spinning on the turn table!
With that title, you can so go American International joy fun with the film. You can have theaters do the old Insurance policies... Pseudo News Broadcast Trailers and commercials... Radio Spots, recorded with local disc jockeys with cut in sound-effects... It would RULE! And then the FLAME TRICK SUBS singing "EIGHT-LEGGED FREAKS" while Satan's Cheerleaders writhed ala Go-Go fashion in their latex cheerleader uniforms! EIGHT-LEGGED FREAKS RULES!!!!!
Now if only Warners is smart enough to trade up!
Dear Harry,
Due to recent events in New York and Washington,
Warner Bros. are considering changing the title of
Centropolis's giant spider movie "Arac Attack" to
"Eight-Legged Freaks".
I'm guessing they are afraid that Arac Attack is too similiar
to "Iraq Attack" and might provoke some unwanted attention.
Regards,
RAI (Reliable anonymous insider.)Hey folks, to read a review of this flick, CLICK HERE!!!! From the sound of it, this is good old fashioned Giant Bug Fun!

But it will never happen.

how about 'attack of the giant spiders'. that sounds just as useless. But if you want to really appeal to people wanting some giant spider action - then damnit just call it 'Araknids'
-
Centropolis?? You mean Aliens and Giant lizards centropolis? Great - more City distruction. I guess New York will bew destroyed yet again - but don't touch those World trade buildings you insensitive barstards.
-
Cool. Looks like Centropolis are going to get into some more city distruction - but don't touch Ney york you insensitive bastards. There - now i feel better!
-
Have you guys lost your friggin' minds?? You actually think "Eight Legged Freaks" is BETTER??! My God, I mean, I can understand them wanting to change the title due to unfortunate circumstances, but to THIS? Looks like all of you have gotten used to titles like "Attack of the Clones." (Come to think of it, maybe this title needs to be changed, too, since it uses the word "attack," I'm not entirely kidding!)
-
maybe they thought it was too close to "Arab Attack"? you see, its just one letter. drop the c, pick up the d, and there you go. personally i like the title. kinda like saying "orangutan" out loud. just roles off the tongue. whereas eight legged freaks is just kinda stupid. of course spiders are eight legged freaks, we all know that.
-
and personally offended that the makers could have been so tasteless as to have decided three years ago to call their film "Arac Attack" which is blatantly a reference to the putative unproven connection if the country Iraq with the events of two weeks ago. I am certain that they just decided to have done this three years ago to provoke a reaction from the audience.

what are you talking about, harry??? Arac Attack is an awesome t

i loved the title Arac Attack, and i'm a big title guy. i love titles. i believe i expressed this is in my post reacting to the news of Episode 2's title. now, i love campy titles. and even though i hated it at first, i now absolutely adore "Attack of the Clones." it's just so... colourful. but Arac Attack, i mean, fuck, it rocks. it rhymes. rhyming titles, although not done often, can be a real joy. not that 8-Legged Freaks sucks or anything, it's just, well, i really like that title. but then again, isn't the Emmerich/Devlin crew producing this one... as in, Centropolis Entertainment? and in that case, well, even if they're just the producers, and Emmerich isn't directing, that's still a bad thing. and therefore, the title could very well be the only damn thing this movie has to offer. so keep Arac Attack!!!

You can sing the title along with the tune "8 days a week"

The beatles would shudder but it's still catchy.

Those gals stirred my loins in a very palpable way indeed, hmmhmm! But that giant spider idea is nothing more than cute to me. Not even campy, just cute, like a kiddie movie idea. Sorry, but you want to make killer spiders freaky, keep'm small so they can get in under doorways and pantlegs, so that you can feel them crawling all over your body when you wake up in the middle of the night screaming. I see Tippi Hedren locking herself in a bathroom to get away from an army of them. She turns around and there are spiders on every inch of white tile and porcelain! EEEEEK! They're coming out of the toilet! 8LF may still turn out OK but according to this review if the director took a lot of notes watching GOONIES before making this, chances are it'll appeal to the under 13 crowd. And considering the PG-13 rating, this is good news for parents of kids over 13. My note to Hollywood: get Satan's Cheerleaders on the big screen!
