Controversial Titles

Sunday, February 25th, 2007

I was at Target, picking up some stuff, when I found Airplane! on Widescreen DVD. I am not sure if you knew, but widescreen DVDs are pretty much where it is at, when it comes to video-form home entertainment.

Furthermore, Airplane!, which is high on my All-Time Top Ten Films List, has a really absurd title. I cannot decide if the exclamation mark is necessary when noting the title. It seems to make me feel as if I am yelling in the middle of a sentence when I mention it in writing, and that it makes people feel that the sentence has already come to an end, even though it sometimes comes before the predicate. Airplane! makes perfect sense in conversation, but I always seem to make me get rather uncomfortable in text.
