The real question is: Just because one word comprises of three other words, does it make sense to rip it apart? A "backup" is a form of data saving. "Back up!" can be the order to put your car in reverse. While I understand what you are saying, there is no such word as 'yellowbrickroad'...at least not in any dictionary I could find.  That being said, I am not saying that 'Yellow Brick Road' is the title of this film. What I am saying is, when I look at the case, that is what I see...one title, three words. Because of that, if I had created the original profile for this DVD, that is what I would have entered. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | If it were up to me, we'd use sources other than the logo for all cases of ambiguity, not just possesives, but that isn't the rule as it stands. |

| | Posted: | | | | there are examples where what we know is right has over ruled the rules. Take Paramount DVD's where does it say on the case Paramount Home Video or Paramount Home Entertainment other than the web address www.paramount.com/homevideo. Not in the logo or copyright. So make an exception to the rule by using a little thing called logic. |

With the image of the DVD Cover at Amazon... and the Rule that Martian quoted... I agree with him. It should be Yellow Brick Road in profiler. This is why participation and contribution has dropped. Only with DVD Profiler do you see this. | | | | 99.9% of all cat plans consist only of "Step 1." |

This is why participation and contribution has dropped. Only with DVD Profiler do you see this. What makes you say this? The last I seen Ken say... contributions were at an all-time high. And I know I see just as many contributions to vote on as I ever did. That has been my experience at least. | | | | Pete |

I: Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Not sure what you are trying to say, mainly because you didn't say anything, but that is not what I see when I look at the case. Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace, yes, but not what you wrote. I should also point out that, despite the fact that the overview says 'STAR WARS: Episode I THE PHANTOM MENACE', which is the actual title of the film, that isn't what is in the main DB. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | I say use Yellowbrickroad that's how Rotten Tomatoes, Fear Net are just a few that shows it as one word and bloody disgusting that marketed this movie has it as one word so just leave it as the title no need for 3 pages of discussion. |

| | Posted: | | | | I cannot fathom why you want to create a fictional title of a movie when the title is in the official trailer. From the official site: Quote:
In the Fall of 1940, the entire population of Friar, NH abandoned their homes and walked up an ancient trail, never to be seen alive again. Their fates have remained a mystery for over 70 years, until a team of researchers discover the trailhead and attempt to track the path the doomedcitizens of Friar took. Starring Cassidy Freeman (SMALLVILLE), Anessa Ramsey (THE SIGNAL), and Lee Wilkof (BEFORE THE DEVIL KNOWS YOU'RE DEAD), YELLOWBRICKROAD is a return to the slow burn, character driven horror thrillers of the 1970s. So because you see three words it needs to be separated? What about GoodFellas? Neverwhere? Mirrorball? Shockheaded? Blacksnake? Should these be separated? I see two words in all of them, so according to the rules, these all must be split up into separate words, no? | | | Reviewer, HorrorTalk.com

I cannot fathom why you want to create a fictional title of a movie when the title is in the official trailer. I do not want to create anything. A question was asked and I gave an answer based on the rules. I you don't like the rule, that is fine, lobby for a change or an exception to that rule, but don't try to make this into something that it isn't. Quote:
From the official site: As the rule says to use the title from the front cover, it doesn't matter what the official site says. Quote:
So because you see three words it needs to be separated? I don't believe that is what I said...in fact, I know it isn't. All I did was point to the rule that says, " If the title is shown run together, but with coloring and/or symbols splitting the title words, use standard spacing." My comment about seeing three words was in response to DJ's post in which he said it was one word made up of three words, which it isn't...it is a title made up of three words. Never, not once, did I say the words need to be separated because that is what I see. Quote:
What about GoodFellas? Neverwhere? Mirrorball? Shockheaded? Blacksnake?
Should these be separated? I see two words in all of them, so according to the rules, these all must be split up into separate words, no? No. While I could not find a Mirroball in the db, none of the others has coloring and/or symbols splitting the title words. That being the case, the rule does not apply. Once again, a question was asked and three choices were given...a) Yellowbrickroad; b)YellowBrickRoad and c) Yellow Brick Road. Because the title on the case has a different color for each word, the rules say the correct choice is 'C'. If you don't agree with that statement, please feel free to argue that point. If you want to continue insinuating that this is something I want, which it isn't, then save your breath as this has nothing to do with what I or anybody else wants. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

So by your own words, that's what you would want and you'd be making up a fictional title for the movie if you did. Plain and simple. To think of all the pissing and moaning that goes on in this forum about IMDB, but there is a willingness to make up titles to put in the database.  | | | Reviewer, HorrorTalk.com

Because that is what the rules tell me to do. Not once did I say that it is what I would want.

What i understand with the rule is "If the title is shown run together" Well the title of this movie is run together to begin with, now if the box had spaces between each word then it would be Yellow Brick Road orig. title Yellowbrickroad. But since the original is run together the lack of spacing and color issue is mute. There is no color or symbols splitting the words because it is one word, whether it is a proper word or not makes no difference. |

Exactly...you cannot "run together" something that is only one word to start with! | | | | Hal |
