[QUOTE="RoChess, post: 1098928, member: 18896"] I tend to go by IMDb popularity. Sometimes the 'original' should not have been redone, or is still fresh in memory for majority of users, other times majority of IMDb+ users might not even be aware that the 'new' movie is a 'remake'. So the 'rules' that I go by is that the movie most users will have will be named "title", that means a movie made before that one will be marked (Original), and a movie after it (Remake) or (Reboot). The idea is to cause the least amount of changes as well, so when a movie was already added to IMDb+ and a new adaption is released, I prefer not to adjust the existing one to "(Original)", because not many IMDb+ users might be inclined to refresh their collection. At the same time it is getting harder to create a cut off line on age between movies. For me the saying "take the red pill or the blue pill" instantly has meaning, but I sometimes talk to youngsters who go "wha?" as they weren't even born when the Matrix movies were released 15 years ago. Now I hope that they will not remake that movie, and instead focus on original content, but the way Hollywood goes sometimes you never know :D PS: Keep in mind that you can always adjust the way things are done via the custom rename dbase. No matter what I put in the default one, somebody is going to have a different opinion on it. This started out as a way for me to get my own collection the way I like it, and I did not mind the large expansion to add in suggestions made by others, but in the end it is still my own collection I care for :D PPS: Now that I'm on MePo 1.8 finally I have been able to replicate the annoying special edition rename bug that seems to have crept into new MovPic revision, so need to pin that bug down and find a solution, or have the MovPic developers re-examine their changes.
