spiderman, ironman, superman and more recently, yes man and ip man.
Me: "2 tickets to eep mun (spelt as pronounced) please."
Tix guy who was ethnic Indian: "wad?"
"eep mun. 2 tickets."
"what??!?"
"erm... ip MAN."
"orh!! IP MAN lah. the guy who can pew pew the japs with his ipping lasers."
okay I made that last one up but seriously, even the posters printed out the spelling to accurately represent the pronunciation.
maybe it's the producers of the film's fault since they are the ones who named the title "Ip Man" instead of "Eep Mun". then again who wants to watch a movie called "Eep Mun"? maybe I should blame the english alphabet.
or maybe I should just shuddup and just watch the movie. which I did.
