==Explanation==
{{incomplete|First draft}}

[[Cueball]] is looking through [[Black Hat]]'s downloaded movies, which are all adaptations of non-literary works, improbable sequels, and/or crossovers between very disparate properties. Cueball reacts with increasing incredulity to Black Hat's collection, while Black Hat casually responds with equally unlikely (non-)explanations. Knowing Black Hat, his movie folder is deliberately weird just to provoke this kind of reaction.

! Explanation
|-
| ''Lorem Ipsum: The Movie'' || ''Lorem Ipsum'' are the first two words of a common block of pseudo Latin filler text used by typesetters to layout pages before real text is available. This title implies that this movie is entirely random filler with no meaningful content, although according to the Internet Movie Database, there is a 2011 movie titled [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2032487/ Lorem Ipsum].
|-
| ''Titanic XCVIII'' || Implies that there were 98 Titanics which all sank, creating an artificial reef
|-
| ''Debbie Did 9/11'' || A combination of ''Debbie Does Dallas'' and a 9/11 conspiracy theory
|-
| ''Time Jam: A Connecticut Huskie on King Arthur's Court'' || A combination of ''A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court'' and ''Space Jam''
|-
| ''Harold and Kumar Go to Howl's Moving Castle'' || A combination of ''Harold and Kumar go to White Castle'' and ''Howl's Moving Castle''
|-
| ''A Million Random Digits with 100,000 Normal Deviates'' || This is actually [https://www.amazon.com/Million-Random-Digits-Normal-Deviates/dp/0833030477 a real book] from 1955, however as far as we know it was not based on an existing movie.
|-
| ''Michael Bay's The Vagina Monologues'' || ''The Vagina Monologues'' as directed by Michael Bay (who is known for over-doing explosions in the movies he directs)
|}

Title text then talks about ''A Million Random Digits'' again and says that it is an adaptation of Japanese version. But in modern world digits are universal, so it is hard to understand how adaptation would be different from original.
