[QUOTE="vpupkin, post: 839103, member: 112198"] Thanks, I am quite happy with the common DB setup as long as there is an option to override it in my custom DB. But for the sake of the argument ;) I will disagree with you on a couple of points: - Taxi remake is actually one of these funny looking cases why I prefer sorting to rely explicitly on numbers (a la "taxi 1" etc). If remake is not renamed, I have this funny looking list: * Taxi (this is US 2004 remake, sorted on "taxi") * Taxi Driver (this is completely unrelated movie, sorted on "taxi driver") * Taxi I (this is original French 1998 movie, sorted on "taxi i") * Taxi II (sequel on "taxi ii") etc I think in this case it makes sense to group related Taxi movies together. Relying on Roman numerals sorting has a side effect of unexpected sorting (i.e. in this case "Taxi Driver" is sorted before "Taxi" series, where one would expect the other way around; this can be worked around, as I mentioned, by sorting on "taxi 1", "taxi 2" etc). Don't know how common these cases are (probably not very common :) ), so I don't care all that much. But the list above (with broken list of related movies) just looks weird. - On Riddick: it is true, when they were working on the second movie, it was knows as Pitch Black 2. However, once TCoR was out, I believe they renamed the whole series and standardized on TCoR brand. Wikipedia mentions this (I know, this is not a reference), but if you go to the official site for Pitch Black, it shows as The Chronicles of Riddick: Pitch Black. Amazon though decided to keep it simple, and called these Riddick Trilogy (and they're screwed when the new movie will be out). Now, it's up to you how to deal with the common DB - what I really like about IMDB+, is that it's so flexible. I can always rename stuff the way I want, so thanks again for the awesome plugin!
