Efe, yeah, I want more of an explanation as to the why of the name change. Although if it’s because, as Grey suggested, of an impending lawsuit by Luke Haines, I’m all for it!

Grey Daisies

We first met, it was raining
In a house with bay windows
And all the fittings and fixtures
And a catalogue of injury

She’s got a credo in underground movies
Her father is a lawyer
Who paid for the fittings and fixtures
And a house with bay windows

And I’m calling from a Baltimore hotel
Don’t let it ring again
Your movies are your own
You’re on a limb again

Calling from a Baltimore hotel
Don’t let it ring again
Your movies are all your own
Don’t let him in again

Four weeks later in April
I took her to the doctors
Said, “I’ve no prescription
For compromised solution”

And I’m calling from a Baltimore hotel
Don’t let it ring again
Your movies are your own
You’re on a limb again

Calling from a Baltimore hotel
Don’t let it ring again
Your movies are all your own
Don’t let him in again

Ten years caught in a trap
By my own cunning
Thought I was smart
Thought I was dying

For years I lived in a flat
Without water running
Thought it was smart
Thought it was funny

I’m writing her memoirs
The underground press remain faithful
Ghost writing her memoirs
Maybe we’ll get on cable

It sounds like how a very young child would pronounce “movie”.

“Mubi, Mommy! Wanna watch mubi!”

I don’t hate it, though I do find it a bit of an odd name.

This probably would’ve gone down better if you guys had put up a post explaining “why mubi?” to go along with the change. Efe, your cutesy but nonsensical blog posting doesn’t really help.

Mubi.

Sounds like many things. Nudey. Doody. Movie. Booby. Moody. Booty.

‘The Auteurs’ in Helvetica really tied the room together. This is just plain bad. At least, the font is. I’m still not sure about the name. Some clarification here?

Plug your nose and pronounce movie.

Scooter

Should it have been “Moobi”?

I’m scared people will pronounce it muh-be.

Now when I tell people I have found a really cool films website I have to say the word ‘mubi’, man it sounds so bloody daft.

I hate this name. But I’m not the type of person that likes change once I find something that works anyway.

Can’t it still be something related to cinema? Sigh. I guess the train has passed…
