This is just a quick site update to say that I will begin to phase back in the use of foreign titles starting tomorrow (i.e. original titles of foreign films alongside the English-language translation of the title). It was a practice I did away with due to both some laziness on my part and an unsubstantiated self-consciousness about using the original title coming off as somehow pretentious or pedantic.
This movie is not just about Search Engine Optimization, but one that I find relevant to many films, as their original titles might say something that can only truly be conveyed in the film’s native language and needs to be altered in order to communicate the same idea in English.

In short, the more I learn about language, my native one and foreign ones, the more this move seems necessary.
