Punctuation when the proper title is at the end of a sentence which includes an exclamation point.?
I've always wondered the rule for punctuation when the proper title of something is at the end of a sentence and it's proper title contains some form of punctuation.
Example:
Fantasmic! is the name of a show at Disneyland.
So, if the sentence were:
I want to watch Fantasmic!
Do I add a period at the end of Fantasmic! to finish the sentence? Or do I simply use the exclamation point as my only punctuation although I am not actually shouting the entire sentence.

Good question.
If it's something with a title such as 'Reno 911!' you can choose to do what I just did by putting apostrophes or quotations with the extra punctuation inside. Or you can ignore the punctuation and explain with an appositive phrase what it is. "I want to watch Reno 911!'. Or, "I want to watch Reno 911, the TV show." Either is acceptable. To make things much easier, rearrange the sentence so the "Reno 911!" is at the beginning. Solves the problem, no?
