Coffee? Tea? Green Mile Martini?

Got a look at the Chatters' lounge at work, and it looks like a really nice place (not that I'D eat there, given the prices), but in looking at the menu, I found that my esteemed employers apparently felt obligated to stick with the motif of their main business in naming the drinks on sale. To wit, the bar offers the following, amongst others:

The Fatal Attraction Mojito
Old School Pina Colada
Ferris Bueller's Margarita
Chicago Cosmo
Jason Voorhees Bloody Mary
Green Mile Martini
Goldfinger Infusion
Royal Tenenbaums Manhattan

Oh, that's not all. Among the other drinks offered (ones without additional qualifiers) are the following movie-themed drinks: Mad Max, The Blob, Used Cars, The Longest Yard (Long Island Iced Tea), Cast Away, Love at First Bite, Moonraker, Johnny Dangerously, The Godfather, Weird Science, Blazing Saddles, Up in Smoke...

But enough. I have only touched the tip of this marketing iceberg. (Speaking of icebergs, there's even a "Titanic.") I will only offer one more example: Absolut Raspberry, mixed with Apple Pucker and Grapefruit Juice. Name? "The Goonies."

I, for one, will never look at the Truffle Shuffle the same way again.
