The Bottom Line

English Art/Literary
Do you find the following movie names in any way sarcastic or linked to any other famous films so as to produce a comic effect:

The Bottom Line

Brush Stroke

Fever Chart

Happy Returns

Shooting the Rapids

Dr. Livingstone, I Presume...

Thanks in advance and happy New Year!

P.S. Could "Sentinel" appear as a parody on "Guardian"?

More Info, please.

It's not very clear exactly what you want to know!

I can tell you the 'associations' brought to mind by at least some, but would need to now why, for whom, which language etc.

The Bottom Line - could be a raunchy 'Carry On' type film (bottom as in ass/arse, the posterior part of the body)

Happy Returns - related to a journey, birthday?

Dr Livinstone, I presume- very familair to any reasonably literate person, as what Stanley said after finding Livingstone, long supposed lost...(but I'm sure you know that!)


Could "Sentinel" appear as a parody on "Guardian"? Theoretically it could, but for which language. In English, it might be lost, unless supported by the context.

Could you provide more info - e.g what you are doing, why and for whom? Otherwise it's like shooting in the dark!
