Really? That is disappointing. I will still check it out. One of the things I like about it is I like Ryan Reynolds.

I don't have it yet... but a friend has it on hold for me at the store. So within the next couple days. 

how about M*A*S*H  ??

If we want to talk about consistency... let's

Ken already made a ruling about Men in Black

Since MIB is technically short for Men in Black, we will apply this to any title of the same format

R.I.P.D. is abbreviation for Rest in Peace Department, therefore the title is Rest in Peace Department

8MM is short for Eight Millimeter.  There fore that title is Eight Millimeter.

Now for the other titles on Hal's list, I do not know how to apply this simple fact.

K*19: The widowmaker does not Fit
D-Day: the Sixth day does not fit

None of the sequels fit etc etc.

Any title that comes out in the future, that follows that same guide of initials followed by what those initials mean, will follow the same guide.

Simple enough?

Right, I don't think so.

Except that Ken specifically stated that his ruling ONLY applied to that title.

as well as he is much too busy to talk about any other issues that arise.

All I am trying to say here is that this is a matter of opinion. It is not a provable fact that "Rest in Peace Department" is really part of the title.

I understand and completely accept that some of you believe it is part of the title. But what needs to be understood (and seems not to be getting understood) is there is people that strongly feel it is NOT part of the title.

And these people have just as much right to that opinion as the people that believe it is.

Could just be an indication to explain the title... could be someone's (who designed the cover) idea of a tag line. Without being in the designer's head there really is no way to know 100 percent of the time.

And no just because I do not believe this to be part of the title does not mean I will believe the same on the next that is formatted this way. It really is a case by case basis type thing.

For some movies I will feel it is part of the title and for some films I will not. I have seen MANY movies where the same format is used with taglines. Should those be added to every single title? Of course not... we have to just do our best to determine when it is part of the title and when it is something else (whatever else it may be).

And unfortunately this is something you just are NOT going to get everyone to agree on.

For example... why is Rest in Peace Department part of the title... and yet... it is just Mimic and not Mimic: A Bold Experiment...A Deadly Mistake!?

"A Bold Experiment...A Deadly Mistake!" is typically what I called a "Summary used as a teaser ", that we often find on covers. Really, I personnally hardly put "Rest in Peace Department" in the same category.

But I do not want to discuss any more. I just note that your Statement "For some movies I will feel it is part of the title and for some films I will not", will not help the consistency of the database...
