Back in the 80s when they adapted something into a movie they'd call it "The Movie" because nobody wanted to do that shit more than once.

And then by the 90s you had shit like this, where they brazenly called it "The FIRST Movie", knowing full damn well they were going to pump these out on a yearly basis (there are now 24 in total).

Of course sometimes it was worth it, because you'd get utter gems like the sole film Adaption of Doug.

They were so confident. The sheer hubris.

It's up there with Mac and Me teasing a sequel. The kind of thing the gods would punish man for.

You'd think they'd realize they could never top 1975 when Monty Python released the Holy Grail album and called it "The Album of the Soundtrack of the Trailer of the Film of Monty Python and the Holy Grail".

I still call the Cowboy Bebop film “Knocking on Heaven’s Door” and a lot of my fellow American fans have no idea what I’m referring too. Not a bad or even annoying thing, but I think that title is more fun than just “The Movie.”
