My problem is the title. That's the worst title ever. It's not even a title, it's just two character's names. It's really lazy and really stupid.
I realize there are other movies with two characters names as the title. "Bonnie and Clyde" and "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" come to mind. Those titles work though. I think they work for two reasons. 1. They have interesting and not everyday names. 2. The word "and".
The word and makes it a title. Using the slash in Frost/Nixon really doesn't work at all. It's stupid. I think at one point it was probably The untitled Frost/Nixon project. Then they couldn't think of a title and just dropped untitled and project. There's our title, Ron said. Stupid idea, Ron. Slashes have no business being in titles. Neither do commas. And that is why "I, Robot" is a dumb title, among other reasons.
