Back cover is IRRELEVant, there is only two questions

"Use the title from the film's credits." and

"Episode descriptors are part of the title; separate them with a colon and space; e.g. "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock". For multiple descriptors, use a colon and space for each break, e.g. "Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace".

That supplies all the information that is needed.

If the The Year We Make Contact is On Screen it is part of the title, and the second part says how to deal with it. Simple answer, Mr. Lopek.

Ah, typical Skip, post without reading properly or completely. Missing the point completely. Screaming about irrelevant rules. Somethings never change! 

Now go back and read the whole thread and try again old man!

It was clearly an aside... following the crucial info - what was in the credits!

Talking about firing the first shot for no reason.

And if you believed the title was "2010", why were you arguing for a colon with regards to the contibution??? 

EDIT: And why did you quote the irrelevant "Episode Descriptors" rules? 

I quoted the Episode Descriptor Rules, because it would define the title as 2010: The Year We Made Contact, if the descriptor appeared On Screen. I can't pull the title myself right now and verify it.

So, it's simple if the descriptor is on screen, the Rule applies, if it does not then it should not appear in our title.

It's not hard to comprehend. You chose to cite the back cover and refer to posters , which we do not use. And I caught one or two references to On Screen, but I could not check it myself. so make the explanation as simple as possible. Just beyond your ability to comprehend, i suppose.

Thanks for changing your mind about the colon and agreeing with us, Skip. It's been fun.

I didn't change my mind, James. Never have never will.  It is very simple.If The Day We Make Contact is On Screen we use the colon per the RULES. And Widescreen Forever was intially trying to impose his OWN interpretation which was NOT supported by the Rules AND STILL IS.

If it is not On Screen then it should NOT be there at all. Simple No mind change at all.

Mr. Lopek, you should not bring up irelevant side issues such as back cover and poters which we do not use AT ALL

The posters were relevant, as I explained - shame you can't understand that as you are too busy worrying about irrelevant colons.

Sorry, Skip, but you are trying to apply  a TV Set Rule regarding Episodes to a Movie.  The Episode Rule talking about colons is irrelevant to this conversation.  "2010" is not a TV Set.

The only Rule that applies is the one that says the Title is to be taken from the film credits.

Hence "2010" is the proper title.

Just for your edification, Hal And I will make it very simple for you

Others were bringing extraneous material that have no relevansce

1) I said I can't check the title right now.
2) I quoted the Rules
3) I said IF the subtitle appears On Screen then the colon should be used per the Rules
4) I also said if it does NOT, then the title should be 2010.

You may now resume your seat. Howdy said so.
