Pat doesn’t like this movie title. His recommendation is even worse.

That movie kind of ruled. I enjoyed it while I watched it and then forgot everything about it.
Yeah I thought it was great. Tom Cruise is great in everything he does these days. Say great again stupid.
It was a fun, kind of funny, and sometimes clever sci fi war movie. Def worth a few watches

I think if you liked starship troopers, you'll like edge of tomorrow

All You Need Is Kill was the original title from the novel, then changed to Live Die Repeat before being changed to Edge of Tomorrow.

Warner Brothers fucked with it because you can't have "Kill" in the title for marketing, and Live Die Repeat was "too harsh."
Oh yea. Makes sense. I remember the controversy surrounding Tarantino's Edge of Bill volume one.

"I think the word 'kill' in a title is very tricky in today's world. I don't know that people want to be bombarded with that word. I don't know that people want to be opening the newspaper and seeing that word. We see it enough in kind of real newspaper headlines, and I don't think we need to see it when we're looking at a movie."

—Producer Erwin Stoff on changing the title

Maybe I misinterpreted this fags quote, but it sounds like a marketing thing to me.
It's just the usual neurotic corporate muddling. No strict rules or anything, just the board waking up and deciding to shit its pants for no reason at the most banal things and constantly trying to adjust the creatives and just fucking everything up in the process. As a result, the title is the weakest aspect of an otherwise solid movie. Very bland and forgettable, it took me a minute to remember what was being referenced here.
