After a second viewing of The Dark Knight, something occurred to me. I noticed it years ago and has become more of a trend: the title of the movie is at the end. I can’t remember the first movie I realized this, all I know, this seems to be the norm for filmmakers to do nowadays.

I find it interesting how classic movies showed all the credits and played the opening score to the film at the beginning. Maybe they knew people didn’t care about all the grips, so the only way to get them to watch it was to place it in the start. Movies, back when my grandmother was my age, didn’t have the elaborate cast and crew that movies do now. No wonder that phase has seemed to have faded.

I have no clue where the idea that showing the title of a movie comes in last. I know I paid my money to see a certain film in the theaters, but I want to see the name in big flashy lights at the beginning so I can compare my ticket. What would happen if I paid to see The Dark Knight and ended up sitting through House Bunny instead? I’d demand a full refund, and then I would curse the moviemakers for playing such a horrible trick on me. All of that could have been avoided if I had seen the title in the beginning.

House Bunny was a bit drastic, but you see my point. Millions of us could be out there sitting through that very predicament. I say bring back the title in the beginning, where it belongs, because how many movie theaters are going to believe that you couldn’t tell Christian Bale from Anna Faris? Well, theaters are pretty dark….
