| | Posted: | | | | I can only speak for myself of course but to me, in general, the Original Title field is just as important as the Title field. A lot of Asian movies get their titles changed for their US or EU release and in those cases, it helps to be able to sort or search on the original title. | | | Blu-ray collection

| | Posted: | | | | Taro: This is not a referendum on the Original Title field...get a grip willl you. the user asked a specific question and I suggested how i would address it. I am willing to bet that in this particular case the original title field was not sufficiently documented, if i knew which UUPC/EAN I would look at it myself. But please get a hold of yourself.  You only tell me that you don't have even a single clue. I am well aware of the use of the Original Title and its use to some users, even to those who find it useful even to Hollywood films, and I don't mean as a translation of an English film, I am referring to a film that may have started out one way and became something else, even that is not particularly useful to me, so what.

| | Posted: | | | | Ah, again with the snide remarks. I don't see why we can't chime in and give our opinion on the matter. This here is clearly a general remark, not limited to one title in particular: Quoting Dr Pavlov: Quote:
Original Title is not something that i worry about over much, as it doesn't seem very useful to me 98% of the time. To which I answered that for some users, including me, it's a field that does have its importance, because we have international titles in our collection.

That is a useful comment exactly why, Paul? especially since the particular film being dealt with is not a foreign film, or do just have to be *&^, don't bother answering, the question is rhetorical and the answer is clearly YES.  It is sad that you bring so little to these discussions, perhaps I over estimated your intelligence.
Skip As the person your were responding to is German, it could very well be a 'foreign' film to him! Could VirusPil own a R1 US release? Yes. Could it be a R2 German release? So if my comment that I find original title useful is not a 'useful comment', how can your comment that "it doesn't seem very useful to me 98% of the time" be useful? Or did I just forget that these forums are your private playground!  pdf | | | Paul Francis

So you try to hijack the thread to turn it into some bizarre siort of referendum on the field , which was very clearly NOT my intent. Congratulations on a successful hijack., bird brain.  Well, in all honesty you're the one who started making generalization when you posted this, which clearly talks about the original title field in general: Quoting Dr Pavlov: Quote:

Not relevant, Martian. what the hell is it with you people today. Are you still hung over from New Years.
Skip You said, and I quote, "especially since the particular film being dealt with is not a foreign film." First, as I stated in my post, it is a foreign film to Virus, so your assertion was incorrect. I was simply pointing that fact out. Second, if it isn't relevant, why did you bring it up?  Virus bought a new DVD, found that it had the wrong title in the original title field. He wanted to make sure he formatted the corection properly, so he came to the contribution forums. I could be wrong here, but I am fairly sure that is exactly what this forum is for. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | As others have stated, Original Title is very important. Not only for foreign films but for all films, due to it's connection to the CLT. Since the CLT uses Original Title when there is one present, making sure it is correct effects everyone who uses the Credited As field. Having 4 different Original Titles for a particular movie only bloats CLT results.
So VirusPil, your question was a good one and worth bringing up. | | | | "The perfect is the enemy of the good." - Voltaire | | | | Last edited: by Vittra |

You seem to misunderstand both his comment and my answer.
He said he got the DVD and had a question about the Original Title that was listed. I suggested that he look at the NOTES to see if that title is supported, I bet it's not, as i don't believe that was ever the original title of the film. I expanded my answer andperhaps i shouldn't have sincve apparently that has drawn the focus. I am certainly glad that I do not pick at you or others for every little thing that you say.
Further Virus doesn't clarify with a UPC/EAN he is looking at, he may well have a Region 1 US, which would make it foreign DVD but not a foreign film because in Region 1 US it is not a foreign film. So you are also speaking inaccurately in the strictest sense of the word, for what reason only you know and i can only guess and the guess is not positive.
