As I mentioned in yesterday's critical assessment of the cheer lexicon, The Bring It On Tetralogy gets much of its artistic power and significance from being au currant or of the cultural moment in which they are produced. The most recent films, in fact, have been made so quickly, that they have been able to capitalize on many current trends, including not only fashion, but also recent catchphrases that have not yet lost their currency. That is especially evident in the titles of the last two films: Bring It On: All or Nothing (originally titled Bring It On Yet Again) and Bring It On: In It to Win It. With that in mind, I thought it would be useful to brainstorm more possible titles for future Bring It On sequels, using current catchphrases and other slang.

ReplyDeleteYou had me at "Live Free or Bring It On".
ReplyDeleteNot only will none of the other titles top that, I think it's safe ot say that nothing else in life will top that. Ever.
