| | Posted: | | | | Just got this disc (796019-811736) and noticed a couple errors in the profile, and one that I'm not sure of. The possessive is in the info box on the back of the dvd and the newer (final?) poster (see it at http://www.impawards.com/2008/diary_of_the_dead.html). It is not within the quotes on the first posters (see here http://www.impawards.com/2008/diary_of_the_dead_ver2_xlg.html). What do ya'll think? The rules say to follow the dvd cover but get bent for other things like production year, so where does this fall? To possess or not possess?  I left it out of my first round of contributions for the title. |

| | Posted: | | | | Going by the rules you use the credit block on the back of the case to determine if the possessive is used. What does it say? George A. Romero's "Diary of the Dead" or "George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead"... whatever is in the quotes is what you use in the title for possessives.
Wouldn't matter what is on the posters. | | | | Pete |

There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

| | Posted: | | | | I just looked at the back cover at dvdempire...  On the back it shows the quotes as "George A. Romero's Diary of the Dead"... so that is what goes in the title. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I agree that posters are irrelevant. Matter of fact, it is possible that a future release will set thequotation marks differently and therefore the Title for that release may be different.  | | | Achim [諾亞信； Ya-Shin//Nuo], a German in Taiwan.
