Read the rules, it clearly states first thing in the Title section: Use the title from the film's credits.Foreign titles can list the DVD's locality title, as also listed in the rules. i.e. A German DVD release for a film originally produced in the United States would have the German title in the Title field and the English title in the Original Title Field. | | | | Corey | | | | Last edited: by Katatonia |

(...) or is it just a graphic not part of the title. Yes, it's just graphics which should not be simulated by text. |

Use the title from the film's credits. Read the rules, it clearly states that when the title of the DVD is different from the original title (from the credits): Modified Titles: The Original Title field will contain the original theatrical title, while the Title field will contain the title of the DVD release. FWIW in this case I would consider it a graphic actually but I fully agree with Gadgeteer in how it should be done if it was not a graphic. | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

I wasn't referring to a modified title in this particular case, which maybe wasn't stated very clearly. It IS a graphic in this case, but if you follow the modified rule to a "T" then that's up for "consideration". | | | | Corey |

Original title = Two Way Stretch (from film's titles) Since the "new Rule" has not been implemented yet, and the Current Rule says "Take the Title from the film credits", The Title is 'Two Way Stretch'. Even if we were taking the Title from the cover, to include the "line" is just stupid. | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

Since the "new Rule" has not been implemented yet, and the Current Rule says "Take the Title from the film credits", However a later rule (which, FWIW, in any set of Rules I've experienced takes precedence over an earlier rule) as I quoted says if the DVD title is different from the title in the credits then the Title is (as you say) still taken from the credits but put in the 'Original Title' field and the new title from the DVD has precedence. | | | | It is dangerous to be right in matters where established men are wrong |

That is a complete misuse of the modified title rule. The example (There's Something MORE About Mary) given is a clear indication of its intent. | | | | Hal | | | | Last edited: by hal9g |

| | Posted: | | | | I disagree that it is clear misuse... they give an example in the rules but don't say it is the only use for it. It just says where title differs from credits.
My thoughts that it goes further then that is strengthened by Ken's words himself (In the rules forum) that he felt possessives falls into that category as well.
Now would I personally use it for a line as in this example... I don't know... I personally doubt it... but I do believe it is covered within that rule. | | | | Pete |
