What version of MySQL are you using? I just tried this on MySQL-4.0.2
and it worked.
If your version of MySQL doesn't support variables (they go pretty far
back, 3.23.x supports them), then just issue a similar query and store
the result yourself...
SELECT COUNT(titleid) as totalVotes FROM movieratings
Then use whatever programming language you are using to retrieve that
value, and then stuff it back into the second query.
