The former deserves the title far more than the latter. Even when you know the meaning behind both titles.

The Princess Bride. Totally sounds like either a romantic comedy, or a movie aimed at teenage girls a la Princess Diaries. It is very much neither of those.
I mean... it IS a romantic comedy though.
It has romance, and comedy, that is true. But is primarily an action movie, which the title does not indicate at all.

To make things worse, Avatar The Last Airbender comes with its own set of options: one good, one bad.

Elder scrolls online made me think it's was gonna be an elder scrolls game but with online funsies.

Like fucking shit was it. It was another crappy MMO with crappy MMO combat and crappy MMO design with the flayed skin of elder scrolls haphazardly pulled over it. They committed though, and fooled enough fans I guess. *Sigh* *another sigh* *can't breathe anymore but gonna sigh till faint anyway* why can't there be a proper online Elder Scrolls game without sacrificing every ounce of fun just because "the infinite income of monies must not be compromised!"

Also, when I was very young and naive and probably a total asshole, I used to think "conservative" meant wanting to conserve the planet and life and shit, not conserving all the wealth and power of the already incredibly and increasingly wealthy and powerful. Luckily I didn't/couldn't vote then, not that if fucking matters when I do now anyway. Heavily depressed hah.

Watching Black Sails. Half of the time I hear "Nassau," I think of Nassau Station from Halo 2.

Also Project GG has got me thinking of Gigi.

For a long while I confused Dragon Quest with Breath of Fire.
We're in similar territory there, even though I've never played anything from either of those series.

I read the thread "Why are Christians afraid of prostitution?" and keep reading it as "prosecution" or occasionally "persecution." Go figure.

Offworld Trading Company.

I keep reading it as Oddworld (from the Abe's Odyssey series).

The Pink Panther (1963 film).
Bloody well this. It doesn't help that the "Pink Panther" name was then overshadowed in the public consciousness by the Hanna Barbera cartoon featuring a literal pink panther.
