Journal Cy Guy's Journal: No 'Penultimate' Movies? 1
Using the term "The Last" * is quite popular in film titles. In fact there are 1,245 ** such titles or sub-titles on IMDB. But surprisingly there are ZERO using the word Penultimate in the title or sub-title. (OK, so there is one with Penúltima in the title "A Penúltima Donzela [The Last Maiden But One]" but there was no "A Ultima Donzela [The Last Maiden]" made related to it.)
Of the 1,245, which do you think would lend itself best to making a prequal titled (or sub-titled) "The Penultimate
Here's mine:
The Penultimate Temptation of Christ: Jesus and the Apostles have just arrived for the Last Supper. But the venue is run by Romans who seat the group in the Roman section instead of the Jewish section of the restaurant (they had Jim Crow back then - but they called it Chaim Cohn). The waitress brings over the menu and says tonight's special is Ham and Cheese on Rye (triply un-kosher during Passover) and Jesus ponders to himself "hmm, I'm gonna die any day now, maybe just this once..." He goes ahead and orders much to the consternation of the Disciples and we get about an hour of My Dinner with Andre / Sideways-style conversation until finally he is dissauded not to eat the Ham and Cheese on Rye.
* Oddly when you search on "Last" the 2002 movie The Last doesn't come up in the results.
** Unlike the above footnote, the 1,245 does include a couple of titles where "The" doesn't appear before the "Last" - so there are actually fewer than 1,245.
