I don't have this movie, but I think the credit block states "Blade Runner" and I would imagine that is the on screen title. This is only assumption.
According to the rules, the credit block is only to be used for dealing with possessives. The title screen is for the original title.
The title is to be taken from the front cover. Everything else is irrelevant. According to the rules, of course. I Apologize, you are of course correct. | | | Last edited: by CharlieM |

Thanks to the three of you. Let's not get too dramatical here. It didn't even last a page. Personally I found it funny Dr. Professor said I needed to get new glasses when he was the one reading it wrong. Sorry to everyone for derailing 3/4 of a page in the thread |

| Posted: | | | | I am sorry. My last post was incorrect. I stated the title, if it include the "Final cut" should be Blade Runner The Fiinal Cut. This of course would be wrong according to the rules - it Should Be Blade Runner(insert trade mark) The Final Cut (Just Teasing) Charlie |

| Posted: | | | | Look in the edition drop-down. "Director's Cut" is something we are specifically told to put in the edition field, so it's well established this field is to be used both to describe editions of the movie and editions of the DVD. The only reason this isn't called a director's cut is an earlier cut already got called that. "Blade Runner" is the title and the rest is edition if it will fit. | | | Last edited: by Ace_of_Sevens |

| Posted: | | | | I would say "The Final Cut" is something like "Director's Cut" and DC belongs into the Edition field, so imho "The Final Cut" also. This are versions of the movie and not part of the title. The movie is more or less the same, so it's a Edition. Edit: See Ace_of_Sevens was faster. | | | Last edited: by VirusPil |

| Posted: | | | | Quoting hal9g: Quote: What it says in the film credits is totally irrelevant to what the Title field should contain! Try reading the Rules. "Take the Title from the front cover".
When you do as the Rules state, the Title is "Blade Runner", with subtext under it which says "The Final Cut".
Based on that, the title field should contain "Blade Runner: The Final Cut", the Edition field should contain "Two-Disc Special Edition" and the Original Title field should contain whatever shows up in the opening credits of the film (don't have it immediately available), unless the opening credits show "Blade Runner: The Final Cut" in which case the Original Title field should be left blank.
Why do we always make this so much more difficult than it actually is? You are reversing your argument that you made for "King Arthur". aren't you? How is this following the rules. Quote: Episode descriptors are part of the title; separate them with a colon and space; e.g. "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock". For multiple descriptors, use a colon and space for each break. The final cut is not an episode descriptor. It does not express the next movie in the series, like star trek in the above example. therefore it could not be Blade Runner:The Final CutSo now the question is, "Is it part of the title itself". If it is part of the title itself, then it would be Blade Runner The Final Cut (no colon) Since it is not the title of the movie, then it must folow another part of the rules Quote: The Edition field is for distinguishing between DVDs, and for indicating special versions and collections (for example The Criterion Collection, Widescreen, Full-Screen Edition). It's usually safe to use one of the built-in selections if appropriate. If you are using a non-standard description, take it from the DVD box, and ensure it will help distinguish between different releases of the same title. It is no different than "The Directors Cut" "Special Edition" "Unrated Directors Cut" The title is Blade RunnerThe Edition is The Final Cut:Two-Disc Special Edition | | | Last edited: by CharlieM |

| Posted: | | | | I should point out there are lots and lots of these situations, for instance, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring: Special Extended DVD Edition: New Line Platinum Series, Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves: Extended Version: Two-Disc Special Edition, Almost Famous: Untitled: The Bootleg Cut: Director's Edition, Battle Royale: Director's Cut: Special Edition, Frank Herbert's Dune: Director's Cut: Special Edition: 3-Disc DVD Set. | | | Last edited: by Ace_of_Sevens |

Have another one: Alexander: Revisited: The Final Cut Perhaps a little bit more dividing the users in if it's a Edition or part of the title, but imho the same: Both is Edition. Btw, is it ruled how to sperate the Editions? Would it be wrong to write Alexander: Revisited -The Final Cut? |
