The French Keep Translating American Movie Posters From English to Dumber English

If French is the language of love, then the French must really hate our movies.

Paris-based UX writer and content designer Juan Buis recently revealed a ridiculous translation trend in French cinema wherein film importers translate the titles of American movies from English to… clunkier English.

Perhaps the French change our movie titles because those cheese-eaters think we’re too dumb to come up with better names than “Sex Academy,” “Sex Trouble” or “Sexy Dance 2” — come to think of it, maybe they just really like sex.
