Good evening, Sirs,

in this forum topic contributor RAPMAN talked about his change of the DVD Title and No-Votes.

In the same contribution, RAPMAN also changed the Original Title. From "Snatch" to "Snatch.", according to the opening credits.

The contribution got approved.

Rightly so? What do you think?

Love, bbbbb

I think that we don't need another thread that was just discussed for 13-pages...

It was approved. Move on.

IMO the original title addition is wrong (and serves no purpose whatsoever), but I also agree with Kinoniki; we don't need another thread on this. Move on...

Quoting Contribution Rules:
Quote:
The Original Title field serves two general purposes, but in both cases allows for the tracking of the original feature title. Use the title from the film's credits. In cases where the title is the original title, leave the Original Title field blank.

Like it or not, based on the rules, 'Snatch.' is correct.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

So to make a correct profile of a DVD that you have in hand, you need to know if any other DVDs exist in a series? How many DVDP users (that do not all read the forum posts) would guess that?

Should be a joke refering to this thread:
http://www.invelos.com/Forums.aspx?task=viewtopic&topicID=421218&PageNum=4

But I also see the problematic of using the episode descipter rule on original title.

Not to worry.

Someone will fix it if it is entered incorrectly.

Yep, it's correct. The period signifies that the title is an imperative sentence.
