ED Burns?


Why is he listed as ED Burns on the DVD cover?

He's not listed as such on the back of the box or in the movie itself.

And he's Edward for most of his other movies as well, so it's not like he's better known as Ed.

Very odd.

Any ideas?

IMDb has him listed as Ed Burns in this movie, which should mean that he was credited as such in the credits. Why he is called Ed in this film and not elsewhere is difficult to answer, but it is likely that he is called Ed by friends, so maybe there was a miscommunication.

But my point is that he's NOT called Ed in the film or credits, only on the box. ;)

special ed: that would be a good nickname for him.

Have no idea about Ed, Edward or Eddie. Am just curious about your use of the quote from 'Heathers' because ive had a brain tumour for over 14 years and i am wondering why you end each comment you make with that qoute. Have never seen the movie and it may well be that when that line is spoken the gathered crowd cheers and laughs loudly. Am in no way angry, sad or put out by it, just curious to know why you write it.

I have always thought that when a person adds a post and each time ends it with a qoute from a movie, in some way it actually takes something away from what the person has said. If i have a comment to make about a movie, whether it be a serious of humourous one, then i'd like someone to read my comment and consider that, not follow it with a memorable quote to read, remember and smile about, and therefore forget what i wrote.

Please dont be offended, i mean no harm to you. Just curious...

I apologize for the offensive brain tumor quote from Heathers. I've removed it. I put it there to begin with because it was a clever line from a very clever movie. I highly recommend the film.

In general, I think people put signatures at the end of their posts (myself included) because it gives them their own distinct identity, stamp, calling card...what have you. Plus, it's cool. ;)

I hope you like my new sig. :)

how is that odd? "Ed" is short for "Edward". he goes by both.
