Author Topic: Movie Titles A.K.A....... Christian Volpi Master Film Handler Posts: 349 From: Arlington, NE Registered: Apr 2004 posted 08-04-2004 12:28 PM                        I don't know how it is around the country but where I work for some reason people buying tickets can't get the damn movie titles right. For example, some of my latest are... "Black Cat"= Catwoman "The Gardener"= The Notebook "Van Halen"= Val Helsing "Three Days After"= Day After Tomorrow If you get this alot, what are some wierd titles that you hear customers say?  |  IP: Logged Steve Scott Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1300 From: Minneapolis, MN Registered: Sep 2000 posted 08-04-2004 01:18 PM                     Since you're in the midwest, Christian, you must've got the customers who add an "S" onto the end of every title  |  IP: Logged Christian Volpi Master Film Handler Posts: 349 From: Arlington, NE Registered: Apr 2004 posted 08-04-2004 01:36 PM                        quote: Steve Scott Since you're in the midwest, Christian, you must've got the customers who add an "S" onto the end of every title I don't get it??

Then when there really IS a "The" included in the title, they'll leave it off -- "One for 'Terminal'."  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!
