The movie as such is already identified by "Original Title + Production Year", this, of course, implies that both dates are filled in correctly. What we are talking about here is the DVD-Title, which may, but doesn't necessarily has to, be identical to the Original Title. | | | It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

These discussions about titles is getting ridiculous.
The title rule needs to be changed. The marketing gimmicks that manufacturers use, does not get us the title we need
Men in Black 3 is the title, not MIB³
Men in Black 2 is the Title, not MIIB
Men in Black is the title, not MIB
Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace not what ever crap they put on the cover to sell it.
R.I.P.D. is the Title,
or any of the other stupid discussions we have about titles.. I don't think the rule needs to be changed, people just need to use a little common sense in areas where the rules allow for it. In this case, they do. While the rule does say to take the title from the front cover, it does not tell us how to determine what on the cover is the actual title. Using the title that started this thread as an example, people seem to know that 'Jeff Bridges' and 'Ryan Reynolds' are not part of the title. Why, then, is it so hard to accept that 'Rest In Peace Department' is also not part of the title?  | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Jeff Bridges: Ryan Reynolds: R.I.P.D.: Rest in Peace Department is clearly the title and the edition is obviously Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD Ultraviolet. I don't see what the issue is.  | | | Reviewer, HorrorTalk.com

When should we ignore the rules and use 'common sense'? What rule would be ignored. On all releases we have to determine what portion of the text on the front cover is the title and what is not. That is where the common sense (if you want to call it that) comes in. From there you follow the rules on entering what you determined to be the title. Of course you can show a release to 2 or more people and you can get 2 or more answers on what people believe the actual title is. | | | | Pete | | | | Last edited: by Addicted2DVD |

When should we ignore the rules and use 'common sense'? WHEN IT'S CONVENIENT OF COURSE! "Common Sense" and "Invelos Forums" is the very definition of an oxymoron.  | | | Reviewer, HorrorTalk.com

When should we ignore the rules and use 'common sense'? Whenever possible. I may be in the minority, but am a HUGE fan of common sense. |

When should we ignore the rules and use 'common sense'? Who said we should ignore the rules and use 'common sense'? What I said was, "we need to use a little common sense in areas where the rules allow for it. The rule reads, "Use the title from the front cover." 'Jeff Bridges', 'Ryan Reynolds', 'R.I.P.D.' and 'Rest In Peace Department' are all on the front cover. Common sense tells me that the title is 'R.I.P.D.', so that is what I would use. Since the title I used was on the front cover, I have not ignored the rule. I have used, what I believe to be common sense, but I have not ignored the rules. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

Whenever possible. I may be in the minority, but am a HUGE fan of common sense. My problem with using 'common' sense is that it isn't common, what is 'common' sense to one person maybe completely 'uncommon' to a next. Instead of relying on 'common' sense I'd rather have the rules improved. | | | HDTV: 52" Toshiba Regza 52XV545U AVR: Onkyo TR-707
