Daravon Goes to France
No place is safe from Professor Bordam Daravon, not even France. As I walked through the alleys where I looked at French stuff, I noticed that all of the movies were spummed up (hey, that sounded like a parody of Gangsta's Paradise). No, I'm not talking about the fact that most of them were in French, I mean the actual names of the movies imported from America were, most of the time, completely different. For example, Mighty Joe Young was called My Friend Joe. This struck me as kinda funny, so I browsed through some video stores and found some even better names. Here's what ol' Bordam did to our movies.
