Titles

[athersgeo]

Well, it's a boring and tedious day here at work, so I'm working on The Novel. Chapter 7 is going rather nicely and, I've had a few ideas vis-a-vis titles.

Best one I've come up with so far is [On] Deadly Ground. What does anyone think about that? Has Tom Clancy already used it?

I await opinions with interest :)

i think that even if people haven't seen the movie, they'll have a sort of background association with some bad b-film. they might not remember mister ponytail himself...maybe they'll think it's chuck norris... but still...

of course, i know nothing about the content of said novel, so i can't really suggest anything. sorry. ^_^

It's an even bigger issue than just the b-movie connotations, largely because it is that sort of story - though (and having seen the film in question I can say this with only a hint of immodesty), it's rather better than that. (Not least because the hero isn't Steven Seagal!)

Ya know, if it HAD been a Chuck Norris film, at least there's some postive vibes in there too...I can't remember seeing a Steven Seagal movie I liked - but I do like the odd one or two of Chuck Norris' :)
