What's in a name?
I saw this article from NPR that I thought you ladies might appreciate it.
You'll have to click for the article, but I c&p'd the list of movies from the sidebar. (The article mentions a bunch more.) I can't imagine Alien and all if it's spawn being called Star Beast, and if Predator had remained Hunter, I think any Star Beast vs. Hunter spin offs wouldn't have been as well received.

Re: What's in a name?
This one is my favorite.
This one (and a couple others) sound like working titles, not what they were actually going to call it. At least I hope no one thought that was actually a good idea.
Really interesting!
Thanks for sharing.
