Movie title Should this movie really be listed as 'Robert A. Heinlein's The Puppet Masters' ? Wouldn't 'Puppet Masters, The' be shorter and simpler?

I understand about the potential for confusion with the Puppet Master franchise but this movie name is plural and it has 'The' added, PeeWee055 (talk ) 11:55, 28 February 2014 (EST)
