There’s a new movie coming out, and it looks pretty intense.
So it’s only fitting that the title be pretty intense, too. But we won’t spoil that for you.
Check it out for yourselves:

Now. Is that a title, or is that a title?
When I tell you I was on the verge of tears and then SCREAMED at the title card

I’m so upset I wish I could go back in time and either just never see this tweet or change the title of the movie

Don’t be sad! Embrace it!
They were smart enough to change “We Can Remember It For You Wholesale” to “Total Recall” I don’t care if this is the title of the original story, movies need proper titles not names like episodes of a CW show.

Imagine going through life never having known about “Needle in a Timestack.” What an empty life you would’ve led.
The name of the movie isn't entirely the fault of the moviemakers. It's the title of the 1982 Robert Silverberg short story the movie is based on.
And Silverberg also used the title in a 1966 collection of stories. pic.twitter.com/toi3TpVvOt— Rick G. Rosner (@dumbassgenius) October 14, 2021
Yeah, no. Sorry. That was, like, 40 years ago. They’ve had 40 years to come up with a less hilariously cringe title and they blew it.
And thank goodness for that, because Lord knows we need stuff to laugh about these days.
I laughed out loud harder and longer, when I got to the end of this clip, than I have at anything for months. It could have been a brilliant piece of sketch comedy, but it's real. https://t.co/FcnXjEGbRX

It really does seem like something out of a sketch. Not SNL, though, because SNL’s not that funny.
the trailer is gorgeous, but the title is giving me 30 rock

El. Oh. El.
“Needle in a Timestack.” If that’s the title they ultimately chose, imagine the amazing ideas that were rejected.
