[QUOTE="s7oneyuk, post: 290808, member: 62692"] actually the 'I' phenomenum is not a result of the script - but actually a result of imdb (its also actually a pipe character | not an i). The plot summary is taken from the Plot line in IMDB. (see [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0348333/]Waiting... (2005)[/url] or [url=http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0997047/]College Road Trip (2008)[/url] for an example). The plot field in IMDB is user populated and is quite often very short. If you look at another example ([url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076759/]Star Wars (1977)[/url]) you can see that the plot is short and if you drill into the full plotsummary ([url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0076759/plotsummary]Star Wars (1977) - Plot summary[/url]) it contains multiple user entries for the plot. This has always been the problem with the imdb data for some fields. The ... entries are if the plot is long and they dont want to waste real estate on the frontpage (Saw IV - [url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0890870/]Saw IV (2007)[/url]) but again if you drill into the plotsummary ([url=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0890870/plotsummary]Saw IV (2007) - Plot summary[/url]) there is more detail - in this case written by the production company. however - looking at the plotsummay for Star Wars (1977) you will see multiple entries all submitted by different imdb members! Which one would we pick!!! I will get a new script cut that includes the exact matches 1st in the list and will also try to exclude films that are no-where near the title you are searching for.
