I got your point : Amazon made an error, so what? Not the first time and not the last time it will happen... There is a difference between an error and a volontary error.

But I won't argue with you as you usually play the semantic game and you have the clear advantage of being able to turn whatever I say the way you want as I ain't a native speaker. Also I don't see the point of argue about a movie I don't own and will never own. Finally, as I do my things for myself I can use logic and common sense...

The intent of the rule that has been quoted, IMHO, was to address those cases where the cover designer takes a title that in reality is multiple words and displays it on the cover all "run together".

It was never intended for situations like this.....IMHO!

I don't disagree.  The problem is, the rule wasn't written that way...at least not in my opinion.  You, and those that agree with you, are free to have a different one.  I have no problem with that and, unlike others, will not mock or insult you because of it.

The way some of you are acting, you would think that a differing opinon is going to cause some catastrophic profiler event.  I honestly don't get it.

I think the Rule is written exactly that way.  The Rule starts with this conditional:

Quoting the Rules:

Quote:
If the title is shown run together

Therefore, the first thing that we have to do is determine if the Title on the front cover is run together.  It does not say "If the words in the title are run together".

How do we determine if the "Title" is run together.  Well, I contend that it is the same we way determine whether we need to enter an original title:

Quoting the Rules:

Quote:
For profiles which have an alternate title displayed on the cover, use the title from the film's credits

This, too, is a conditional, albeit worded slightly differently.  It says, if the title on the cover is different from the title in the film's credit, then enter the title in the film's credits as the Original Title.  That means you have to compare the title that appears on the cover with the title that appears in the film's credits.  It is impossible to determine if they are different without doing such a comparison.

My point here is that in order to determine the conditional "If the title is shown run together", you must compare it to something.  The title listed in the title block or the title in the film's credit seem to be the places to be used for comparison since they are in fact source material.  It is inappropriate to use outside sources for this purpose, since we have all the information we need on the DVD cover or the DVD credits.

I believe that you are incorrectly substituting "If the words in the title are run together" for the actual wording of the Rule which says "If the title is run together".
