Seriously though, while it is not covered by the rules....


This is the only point that I was trying to make.

Where we decide to take the title from is actually irrelevant.  It can't be entered by following the Rules.

A Rule change has been made, without thought to the possibility that some DVDs may not have a title on the front cover.

Although it is certainly possible, I do not think I have ever seen a movie that does not have the title somewhere in the film.


And this was the same with the old rule, it had been written without taking account of DVDs that had one title on the cover and a totally different one in the credits.

For all those films I own people did actually scrape up some common sense and used the cover title and not the pointless to use film credits title.


You mean like 'M:i:III' ?????


Hello common sense...


I'm just looking for an example of "the pointless to use film credits title".  That's all!

I don't ever remember the White Album having the title The White Album on it... ( Beatles 1968).. ?

 

There is no album named "The White Album" by the Beatles. This is just a nick name. The album name is "The Beatles".

BTW There is also no red and blue album.

Applying some common sense would have given you the answer!

One where it is not the title on the cover and the cover title is not an abbreviation.  An example of which I've supplied you with several times in the past. And several have been supplied by Addicted in your Star Wars thread.

I love it when people answer with non-answers, like Skip.

"I've already answered that", or "The answer is elsewhere, go find it".

How difficult would it be to simply list examples here?

Maybe they are practicing to be politicians; talk in circles so you don't offend anyone.

30% will say he agreed
30% will say he disagreed
30% will say "WHAT???" 
The other 10% will say, "I don't know what he meant but he sure did use some fancy words"

If there is no title on the front cover, take it from the spine.

If there is no title on the spine, take it from the credit block.

If there is no credit block, take the title from the opening credits.

If there is no title in the opening credits, take it from the closing credits.

Finally, if there is no title anywhere on the packaging or film itself, take it from third party sources. Check that at least three sources have identical information.

If there is no title anywhere, how do you know under what title to look it up under? 

In this case, the movie title should be *the symbol for Batman*
