"Correction"

A brief article on Nov. 15 about the strange things that happen to
American movie titles in translation included nine examples erroneously.
The nine -- translations for "Leaving Las Vegas," "Field of Dreams,"
"The Crying Game," "Interview With the Vampire," "Babe," "My Best Friend's
Wedding," "George of the Jungle," "Batman and Robin" and "Barb Wire" --
were not real releases but spoofs; they appeared on an Internet mailing
list and Web site (www.topfive.com) devoted to comedy and edited by Chris White.
