| | Posted: | | | | Good afternoon, Sirs, I'm unsure about this credit:  Should it, according to The Rules, be entered as "James Horner [as James Ho??e?]"? CLT: James Horner 257 titles James Ho??e? 0 titles Love, bbbbb | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

| | Posted: | | | | It might be worse than that. The A & M in J AMES as well as the HO at the start of HORNER might be flipped around the vertical access as well.  ==================== I'd just credit James Horner and not worry about somebody creating titles and having fun with Fonts. | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

| | Posted: | | | | I agree with the others, it's just a specialty font someone is using. It's is still accessed using the same keystrokes as the normal looking letters or it could be what they call an alternate character. Bottom line is it's still James Horner. Side note: Check out what tweeter's bold letters say.  | | | | Marty - Registered July 10, 2004, User since 2002. |

Fact is that ? as well as ? are Cyrillic letters, used in a movie where a Russian policeman chases a Georgian drug dealer, with Red Square setting during the Cold War. Why again shouldn't we "list names exactly as they are in the credits" here? | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played. [Ken Cole, DVD Profiler Architect] |

Why again shouldn't we "list names exactly as they are in the credits" here? You asked for suggestions and advice. I provided some. I didn't answer in order to debate such a petty thing. If you wanted a debate you should have phrased your OP in that form instead of asking for suggestions. I could have ignored the silliness. I see mirror image R's. It's just a cute font. Were it me i would submit "Horner". | | | | Bad movie? You're soaking in it! |

Secondly: The cyrillic letters are, obviously, used as a layout gimmick, Horner transcripted into cyrillic would look quiet different. cya, Mithi | | | | Mithi's little XSLT tinkering - the power of XML --- DVD-Profiler Mini-Wiki |

| | Posted: | | | | 2012, and Profiler still does not support Russian? I waive the question. Until then it's certainly better to replace the Russian characters with similar looking Latin characters than with question marks. | | | | Don't confuse while the film is playing with when the film is played.

Exactly this...plus what tweeter said. Yeah, I don't see the title in the thread. But I have seen quite a few movies where, because the setting is in Russia they think it is cute to reverse all the R's and N's in the beginning credits. But usually the end credits are done correctly. |

I believe "Red Heat". Which I think this clip is from if I recognize the screen cap correctly. Check all the main credits. See if they do the same with other names. | | | | Last edited: by Scooter1836 |

"In the opening credits certain letters are reversed so as to imitate
Russian Cyrillic script. In particular, "Rs" and "Ns" are reversed." |
