Neimoidian 14 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Chow Yun-Fat? I didn't know that No matter how unappropriate (in terms of the genre) the music is going to be, I am sure that Zimmer (nad his sidekicks) will come up with at least a few highly enjoyable cues. Hopefully, there won't be any techno-shity-remix tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpigeon 3 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 It's very embarrassing and in poor taste for a film not to feature proper grammar in its title. People at a college age-level of learning and beyond often cannot use proper spelling or grammar, to which many of them say, "Who cares? I get the point across." That is irresponsible and sloppy. Good content doesn't mean much unless it is given form. Without good form, content is negated.Ted, venting his frustrations about poor use of grammar and language Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then the title was removed because it wasn't confirmed. Now it's back, but sans apostrophe.And I'm sure it's not a mistake, folks. We just haven't the real reason as to why.

Good content doesn't mean much unless it is given form. Without good form, content is negated. I agree. I guess it's a pet peeve of mine, maybe since using correct grammar and spelling comes somewhat naturally to me (though not always in a medium like the MB, of course ), but I get so irritated when I see blatant mistakes in professional publications, signs, etc. It happens quite a bit, unfortunately.

Dark_Avenger 0 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 Maybe we should wait and see the movie before judging correctness in grammar? If they specifically made it official, it's more likely to be intentional than an error. Maybe Worlds End is the name of a place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Breathmask 555 Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 I remember there was something like this with the first GoF poster, wasn't there?The tagline "Dark and difficult times lie ahead, Harry" (a quote of course) was originally written as "Dark and difficult times lie ahead Harry".However, the final version of the teaser poster still excluded the period at the end.

Justin 2 Posted October 19, 2006 Share Posted October 19, 2006 So anyway, back to punctuation....Did you know that an elipse or the three periods like this ... should actually be four periods at the end of a sentence? Three periods for the elipse and one to actually finish the sentence.I think Star Wars is punctuatily incorrect.Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruckhorn 105 Posted October 20, 2006 Share Posted October 20, 2006 Back to the punctuation thing, again. My seventh grade teacher said that grammar and punctuation were unimportant; that the only thing that mattered was “getting the idea expressed.” Coherency, apparently, was optional. Yes, it was a public school. I have on more than one occasion said that I learned more about the English language watching School House Rock than I did in school. At Worlds End would not be the first time a title has been left lacking an apostrophe. Two Weeks Notice should have been Two Week’s Notice.Bruckhorn, who had his mommy proof-read all of his essays in junior and senior high school (she also potty-trained me at gun-point…).
