Reported Problem for Mother!
posted by ottobudSTAFFMOD on September 20, 2017 at 6:17 AM
Item: Mother!
Language: en
Type of Problem: Incorrect_content
Extra Details: The title of the movie is "mother!" (without the capital "m"). The director has said in interviews that it's definitely not a capital "m". I can't change it because the field is locked.

I'm lazy. Can you link to an article? I notice that most outlets so far are using the current title. And IMDb are supposedly using the the on screen title used at first screening. I have not seen the movie (yet) so I can't say if that is correct or not. Anyhow, let's start with a link and then we'll go from there.

I think I read somewhere that IMDb can't (or won't) use lower-case titles for films, no matter what's actually on-screen. Anyway, here's a link to check out:

Yes, that makes sense for IMDb. We do allow stylized titles and I changed it. Should some other moderator disagree, just reply and we'll discuss it. Thanks.
