Sometimes it just isn’t clear what particular witty wordplay the studio had in mind when they dreamed up a movie title. So in the grand tradition of Marmaduke Explained, allow us to provide a verbose, literal translation of this week’s releases.

Made of Honor: A nonsensical play on words in which the conventional name for a bride’s traditionally female special guest — the “maid of honor” — is arbitrarily switched to an alternate meaning and spelling for the same phonetic word because the character playing the usually female role in this case is male. The meaning of the replacement word, however, carries no value or meaning at all.

Postal: A title based on the name of the main character. The character’s name is, in turn, based on the name of the character in the video game that the film is based on, which is, in turn, based on the act of “going postal” — a term coined by a late 90’s smattering of incidents in which postal workers inexplicably became unhinged and shot up their workplaces. These incidents originally had no connection to Uwe Boll.

What Happens in Vegas: A name taken from the popular slogan coined by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority in 2006, “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.” This phrase isn’t to be confused with the Reno Tourist Board’s similar catchphrase “Make the biggest little mistake of your life in Reno.” Coincidentally, this tagline was used by many theaters to advertise What Happens in Vegas.

Where in the World is Osama Bin Laden?: A take on the 1990’s children’s quiz show Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, except instead of searching for a fictional secret agent, the film posits a search for the world’s most wanted terrorist, and instead of celebrating the elementary school students’ love for geography, it celebrates Morgan Spurlock’s love for himself.

Also on DVD this week: August, Chicago 10, and Redbelt.
