Title In: Difference between revisions

* The [[Star Trek (film)|2009 Star Trek movie]] has Iowa or Vulcan tucked away in a corner for a part of the movie, then "Three years later" in the center.

* In ''[[High School Musical]]'', the callback auditions are rescheduled to the same day as Troy's big game and Gabriella's Scholastic Decathlon. As such, the following titles appear:

HELP! }}

* The ''[[Super Mario Bros. (film)|Super Mario Bros]]'' movie started with the title:

20 million Years Ago }}

* ''[[Zombieland]]'' plays with this one constantly. Columbus's Zombie Invasion Rules are placed on the screen during the introduction to the movie, each with examples of why one should follow that particular rule. During the movie itself, examples of characters following the rules are pointed out with one, usually set to feel like it is part of the environment (for example, the blinking "CARDIO" sign).

* In ''[[Mr. and Mrs. Smith]]'', after the couple has their first therapy session and disagree how long they've been married (5 or 6 years), the movie flashbacks to their first meeting and says, "5 or 6 years ago." At the end of the flashback there's another caption reading "5 or 6 years later."

* The Ringo Starr comedy ''[[Caveman]]'' starts with these two captions:

October 9th }}

* Played with in ''[[Johnny Dangerously]]''. The caption "1910" appears at the bottom of the screen, and we see a car drive by behind it. Then another car drives into frame and ''crashes into the 1910'', breaking the digits into pieces.

* ''[[Adams Rib|Adam's Rib]]'' uses some fancier-than-usual intertitle cards. "That Evening" is the most common caption.

* The ''[[Logan's Run]]'' movie begins with a surprisingly large amount of backstory on the screen all at once:

== Live Action TV ==

* ''[[The Middleman]]'' spoofs this practice constantly:

God, am I underpaid. }}

* ''[[Monty Python's Flying Circus]]'' parodied this with such captions as "One strawberry tart without so much rat in it later".

* Used in early seasons of ''[[Heroes (TV series)|Heroes]]'' to identify the name and location of another person with abilities.

** To varying degrees of accuracy.

* ''[[The X-Files]]'' does it several times an episode.

* In ''[[Law and Order]]'', they always sound the Doink-Doink and show the location in text at the bottom of the screen whenever the scene changes.

* Used at the beginning of every mission in the ''[[Call of Duty]]'' series starting with ''2'', except for one occasion: You begin the mission (Of Their Own Accord, ''[[Modern Warfare]] 2'') in a bunker, evidently being shelled, wounded everywhere around you. You go outside and around a corner to see {{spoiler|[[The Reveal|Washington DC in flames]]}}. ''Then'' the [[Title In]] happens. And thus begins one of the most chilling chapters in the ''[[Call of Duty]]'' series to date.

* The same as ''[[Modern Warfare]]'' for ''[[Portal 2]]'', where every chapter is titled-in... except the last one:

'''Wheatley''': Hello! [[Parrot Exposition|This is the part where ]]{{spoiler|[[Parrot Exposition|I kill you]]}}! <br />

'''{{smallcaps|CHAPTER 9: [[Department of Redundancy Department|The Part Where]]}} {{spoiler|{{smallcaps|[[Department of Redundancy Department|He Kills You]]}}}}''' <br />

* ''[[The Simpsons]]'' has done the same thing at least twice with "Six to eight weeks later".

* Parodied in the ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'' movie, which opens with a pan over the pyramids of Giza with a title crawl reading thusly;

New York City }}

* ''[[SpongeBob SquarePants]]'' occasionally plays with titles.
