| | Posted: | | | | How would you put in the edition for this cover  Normally I would say Miramax Collector's Series:Exclusive Director's Cut but this is entirely too long, How would you abbreviate or cut down to size? |

Original Title: Cop Land That is how it is in the DB now. I have to disagree with this. The title is Cop Land Everything else is edition field information. |

Everything else is edition field information. You are correct, the suggested fix is not allowed. If there is no way to make it fit, I would go with the most descriptive of the two. In my opinion, that would be Exclusive Director's Cut. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.

| | Posted: | | | | Me too: it certainly can't be put in the "title" field (if only for the simple fact that that'll make it count as a separate title in the CLT, thereby incorrectly influencing the CLT numbers), and I'd value "Exclusive Director's Cut" over "Miramax Collector's Series" as well.
In any case, we need longer field names. And not just this one... |

It's usually safe to use one of the built-in selections if appropriate. Cop Land: Director's Cut Cut the crap. | | | | First registered: February 15, 2002 |

| | Posted: | | | | IMO, if the edition-field is too short:
Title: Cop Land
Edition: Exclusive Director's Cut
Exclusive Director's Cut regards the movie, Miramax Collector's Series is nice to know but not this fundamental. In my opinion DVD Profiler is for tracking DVDs and DVDs are made for watching movies, so it's more essential, to know what version of a movie you'll watch/you own, than to which release of this DVD you own. |

| | Posted: | | | | I hate it when studios do this with films. Give the edition some pointless name such as this. Exclusive Directors Cut  What's so exclusive about it. Some additional footage of Stalone perfecting his performance as bigfoot with a gun. If you haven't seen this movie and get to the end you will see what i mean. I say just just stick Director's Cut in the edition and be done with it. | | | | Last edited: by ShinyDiscGuy |

What's exclusive about it? It's the only version of the D.C. I know of, so they can call it whatever they want. E.D.C. definitly trumps "Miramax Collector's Series". All of BV "Collector Series" are silly IMO, only a few had any other dvd (this, Scream, From Dusk Til Dawn and The Crow are all I can think of) from the same company or even same region. |

What's exclusive about it? It's the only version of the D.C. I know of The DC is also available in the UK (but from HMV only). |
