Title brainstorming

[miker]

I have recently been granted an option on what I consider to be a very good script, one I visualise to be as good as LA Confidential or the Usual Suspects, with small elements of Shallow Grave.

The problem is, it hasn't got a title and it's beginning to drive me mad.

The themes are long term friendships and bondings, dealing with being a murderer, and how far you would go to cover your friends' ass. The title needs to hide the murder theme, at least on a first pass (ie when someone has seen the film then the title takes on a new meaning). The film also features lots of big knives and a good few twists along the way. The turning point is when one of the friends accidently kills one of the others in a moment of studentesque stupidity (this is the first death, that is followed by the murders of non-friends for reasons which I won't go into but you may be able to guess)

Anyone got anything they'd wish to throw into the smelting pot?

all the lame stuff I can come up with:

Points of Friendship

Sharp Friends

Cutting Sentiment

Bonds of Blood

The Edge of Friendship

Friendship on a Knife Edge

The title:

Cover someones ass, wipe someones ass (Wipe out)see also kill.

I thought it was funny.

Ho-ho.
I actually have a suggestion. It may have already been used, but since I didn't read all of the posts don't kill me if it has.
"On the Edge of Friendship" huh? Okay so it was bad, don't blame me, I can hardly name my own films.

------------------
My hit list, First draft: 1. Gen. , 2. Chance1234, 3. LAmind, 4. Ralph Snart, 5. miker, 6. eddie, 7. GrizzAdams 8. Kathy S. 9. Littlerich 10. Thread Killa.
These s may be subject to change.

bathroom tissue is pretty clever, but not wholly appropriate.

'tissue' is a good double-edged word though

Best Friends Have Hearts Too

Student Heart Matters

Material Hearts


Hmmmm ... okay, what if we allow the murders to be the main topic of the title, ie give it away that there's murderer with a big knife on the loose ...

Slasher Murders

The Kitchen Knife Murders

Dangerous Kitchen
(kind of a homage to Zappa, too! Also has connotations of 'if you can't stand the heat ...')

any more for any more ??

In fact now I can see a cheesy tagline too:

DANGEROUS KITCHEN
can you stand the heat?
