          It seems so obvious, but I like this one best.

            My thoughts exactly.

            After seeing those old self-defense manuals, I'd vote for the latter, with exclamation point.

            Combato!

              Personally I like Combato...however I've had quite a few people say that it sounded cartoonish...I would like to hear more people comment on the word Combato in the title.

              thanks,

                not to be a downer but
                the amount of effort you're spending on this title is wasteful
                even if your script gets sold as is
                the PR department can change the name at any time
                any title you choose is technically a "working title"
                you should spend more time on the content of your story
                if a producer likes your story but not your title he'll just say, "we can change the title" - so easy.

                okay - as you were.

                    It sounds cartoonish or should I say it sounds cartoonisho.

                      If you're not represented then the title is EXTREMELY important. That producer isn't going to get to the point of liking your story if they haven't opened up the email query. A great title in the subject line is the first, very important step to getting the read.

                      Even if you are represented, a good title can pique interest and put readers in a better frame of mind. It also clues them into what kind of story it is, possibly reducing some exposition.

                        of course they can change the name...my agent likes the title but hey..he hasn't sold it...so I think a new title will give the script some reads on my next marketing blitz.
