Of course I remember why, ace. Btw, double media companies are another animal, there are only three lines in the studio section, one of which is the section title. The rule is clear and it is one of the simplest, only users can take something Di clear and claim it is unclear which is done all too frequently. Then other users without knowledge claim to know when they really dont know a thing.

Where in the rules is it stated so clearly Skip?

You can read can you not, ace. Double even quoted the studio data for you, he included the media companies too.

As I see it, WB in this case is only the theatrical distributor, which we don't credit. It is not the "theatrical release studio" the rules ask for, that is Orion Pictures, which we do credit.

Kino
Trying not to laugh. You guys play with words as you wish. Yes en is the distributor and the credit described by tim says what. Released through  wb. Wow so easy and simple.

The rules say otherwise.  Or am I just not thinking clearly?

Distributor - Usually found as a logo on the bottom of the back cover or in the credit block with words regarding distribution.

Good lord double do you understand nothing about film. Now you are talking about the DVD distributor, which is what the MEDIA companies are about, yow.

You are looking under the wrong header. This refers to the media company of the home video release (the DVD in our case), not the theatrical release. We have never listed theatrical distributors in Profiler simply because it is totally irrelevant to the home video release, unlike the actual film studios that made the film.

Yes, but also the Media Company Heading it does talk about Studios as well.  In no part on Studio does it say not to list the Distributor. I know it doesn't say to list them, it only lists the two.

I'm not even advocating that WB be listed in this case, but the rules are not as clear as Skip makes them out to be and this is a valid topic to discuss IMO.

The rules tell us exactly what to list:
List the Studios in the following priority.

    Theatrical Release Studio(s)
    Production Company(s)

Nothing else. It does not tell us to list the theatrical distributor. What is so hard to understand?

Please define Theatrical Release Studio(s) for me.  Is it in the rules?  Is WB not a Theatrical Release Studio?

If you look at the poll results it doesn't appear to be as clear to everyone as Skip and yourself think.

Wow I do not understand how you folks can take something so simple and twist squeeze and massage it til it makes no sense. Look at media companies that's a perfect example.
