Well, the rules do have an exception for box sets:

Quote:
"The title for a Box Set should be the title listed on the Front Cover; for example Alien Quadrilogy. "

So if that's what it says on the front cover then it should probably be what you go with.

I don't have Dark Angel, but it seems to me that the box set title rule is designed to apply in the case where the set contains multiple titles in it. Since these are season sets for a television show, I do not believe the box set title rule applies.

The Alien Quadrilogy doesn't contain Alien Quadrilogy Disc 1, Alien Quadrilogy Disc 2, etc. It contains Alien, Aliens, etc.

So we have another stupid rule....

Kevin:

The Online CANNOT be ALL things to ALL users, it is just simply impossible. As Vega noted if you want to depart from the Rules locally that's fine and locally is the place to do it.

I have seen several TV series where the series title doesn't match the DVD cover.  In those I have seen where they used the DVD cover for the title field and the actual credits title in the Original Title field.  I see no reason why this couldn't be applied to Dark Angel.

And yet there are things constantly being voted yes on that aren't even in the rules, but because they've been talked about for so long (and loud) that people think it's in the rules.

In the past few weeks I've gotten shouted down by people who contribute things that I can't find anywhere in the posted rules, yet they believe they are right and I'm an ignorant fool. And what's worse, their submissions are approved.

Once again, I'm getting that old feeling...

Actually my statement about 'logical rules' just means that I personally don't think they are correct, or follow any recognized brand of logical presentation using the scientific method ( ) but I vote the rules no matter what I think.

If I personally think most of these rules are stupid, nonsensical, and too complicated - but I vote in accordance to those rules - then there's no harm, no foul.

Heck, I worked for over 15 years for a company whose management wasn't on the intellectual level of a single-celled organism. I went to work, did what they said, collected my paycheck, and all the while I berated them mentally. In fact, every day I left work shaking my head and wondering how their ancestors ever crawled out of the primordial ooze.

So I will follow the rules, no matter what I think about them. And when rules change, I will follow those. And I'll continue to make comments/suggestions to make the rules better and easier to understand.

Quoting wossname:

Quote:
What should the title be for 'To Catch a Thief'/'Alfred Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief' (EAN 5014437825636)?  The cover says the latter, as does the film itself (screenshot here).

The IMDb has the title as 'To Catch a Thief' so should it be 'Alfred Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief' with the original title as 'To Catch a Thief'?  The same applies to 'The Birds' (EAN 025192027529).

If the cover and the film say 'Alfred Hitchcock's To Catch a Thief', then that is the title in profiler.  It doesn't matter what IMDb calls it.
