Well to hear about a movie you first have to have some sort of advertisement/promo. Now, I usually watch, read, listen to that advertisement and make the judgment about a movie then. Exceptions may include billboards, posted items, etc. (already been plenty bashing on the advert subject)
Without an advertisement I wouldn't know what the hell Black Dahlia was about, even it was based on a famous story. Not sure I have ever decided to watch a movie based on name alone. Even if it was called “Space Whores”, I’d research it a lil first. (then pre-order 12 copies, 
) Then, of course, there is the forced viewing from the significant other. Which, in our case, prolly has helped us.
I think some are supplanting conclusions about people’s initial reaction to a title when it prolly has lil or no consequence on their decision to go or not to go to Serenity. Much like the consequence/affect of this Maxim article.
"Pirates of the Space Western" sounds catchy

Well, with A CLOCKWORK ORANGE, the term is actually referenced in the book, but was left out of the movie, and it generally refers to something biological or natural that's been tampered with to function like a machine, thus Alex becomes a clockwork orange. Ironically, the movie is about free will.
PULP FICTION opens with the dictionary definition for pulp, and since the stories in the movie are over the top and sensationalist, then the title is pretty apt.
The rest of them I think tie into their movies one way or another, except for Goodbye Columbus. Judging from the plot description on imdb, I really don't think the title has to do with anything.

One writer's un-educated opinion of Firely should not be enough to brand the magazine as reaver territory.
