Case solved.

Blade Runner: The Final Cut
Original Title: Blade Runner

I don't think he was stating fact, I think he was asking.

I don't have this movie, but I think the credit block states "Blade Runner" and I would imagine that is the on screen title.  This is only assumption. 

If this be the case then

Title Blade Runner
Edition Final Cut:Two-Disc Special Edition

OK... just re-read it with my glasses on. Still not seeing who solved it. Are you saying you checked the title in the film itself? Corne asked you this:
Quote:
The on screen title of this Blade Runner version has been modified to include The Final Cut?

and you replied:

If you checked the title in the movie please just say so, not just a cryptic answer saying it is solved.

Would you have done that if it said Director's Cut?

Kino:

I have a simple answer, what does the film say. This is a legitimate questuion...I know of at least one instance where the On Screen title has been modified to include Director's Cut, this it is Title: Director's Cut.

Digging yourself pretty deep here. When it finally hits how wrong you are I'm sure you will apologize to everyone you insulted.

Hint - look at the punctuation

Corne was asking, hence the "?" at the end. You are taking his statement as in he verified it where as he didn't.

According to the rules, the credit block is only to be used for dealing with possessives. The title screen is for the original title.

The title is to be taken from the front cover. Everything else is irrelevant. According to the rules, of course.

Final Cut to me is distinguishing between versions of the same film, therefore it should be edition. The rules don't seem to specify this exact case but do explain what the edition field should be.

Quoting Rules:
Quote:

Edition
The Edition field is for distinguishing between DVDs, and for indicating special versions and collections (for example The Criterion Collection, Widescreen, Full-Screen Edition). It's usually safe to use one of the built-in selections if appropriate. If you are using a non-standard description, take it from the DVD box, and ensure it will help distinguish between different releases of the same title.


I don't really think this is any different than if it had said Director's Cut since this is really just a glorified Director's Cut. This is still Blade Runner, not any other movie. It's just the Final Cut version of Blade Runner.

Both Final Cut and Two-Disc Special Edition should be part of the edition field in my opinion although I really don't care either way as I do not own this title.

I don't believe it ...
This was a nice a discussion until someone decided to go onto collision course.

Thanks to the three of you.
It all seems so stupid, it makes me want to give up!
But why should I give up, when it all seems so stupid?

Why is the The Final Cut being considered as part of the title.  We do not do this for any other title.  We have many titles that say "Directors Cut", but we do not incorporate this into the title. 

Again we are looking for inconsistency where there is none.  This is nothing more than a different cut of the film Blade Runner.  I haveBlade Runner, The Directors Cut.  Should this title be changed also?



or is this a case where FONT/STYLING make a difference.

Also if this is the title on the cover then it would be

Blade Runner The Final Cut  (there isn't a colon represented on the cover)

Spoiler:  (Select to view)
What it says in the film credits is totally irrelevant to what the Title field should contain!  Try reading the Rules. "Take the Title from the front cover".

When you do as the Rules state, the Title is "Blade Runner", with subtext under it which says "The Final Cut".

Based on that, the title field should contain "Blade Runner: The Final Cut", the Edition field should contain "Two-Disc Special Edition" and the Original Title field should contain whatever shows up in the opening credits of the film (don't have it immediately available), unless the opening credits show "Blade Runner: The Final Cut" in which case the Original Title field should be left blank.

Why do we always make this so much more difficult than it actually is?   


On further reflection and after visiting the King Arthur thread, I'm moving to the camp of putting "The Final Cut: 2-Disc Special Edition" all in the "Edition" field.
