Received our subrun print of Man on Fire Thursday nite. The ETS shipping label had Freezer Print in the lower right corner. If the heads and tails had not been cut this print could pass for unused.

Freezer was the "fake" title for Man On Fire. It is just like how LOTR was titled, "From Death Till Glory". I'm sure there is a thread here somewhere about fake titles. I just woke up. I'm too tired to find it.

Fake titles to fool someone that might try to bootleg a print during shipment.

yeah....just sometimes I don't think they need to do it...
13 going on 30 was Sugar and Spice? C'mon
Van Helsing (which makes a little more sense) was Vatican Detective
And of Course LOTR, but sometimes it's a little overkill eh?

Decoy titles

Immediately call up and tell them that they sent the wrong print and that the one you have needs to be returned to cold storage forthwith. [evil]
