Yeah, you can look at how thepahakurki posted his contribution, which aside from the foreign="..." additions was almost a copy-n-paste, and very easy to verify and sort out2. Remake is when the movie is redone and the only thing different is a new cast, new soundtrack and tiny changes, but overall it is an almost identical movie in some cases scene-for-scene. Reboots are when they take the rough idea, but then go a different direction in trying something else. The Spider-man movies are perfect example of a [ICODE]reboot[/ICODE], we have three different actors now playing the role on the big-blockbuster movies (not counting any other variation) and even though it is all about Spider-man they all three take a different route. More concrete example is the new Charlie's Angels movie which is a reboot as it takes the same concept, but totally different movie.  Often the IMDb connections page gives me the term that I go with, such as: <a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1289401/movieconnections/" target="_blank">Ghostbusters (2016) - IMDb</a> where you can clearly see "Reboot" being used as they went with same concept, but female case and different story. But then "Ghostbusters: Afterlife (2021)" ties back into the original two even though the connection is due to one of the kid's grandfathers being one of the original ghostbusters. Often I just pick whatever feels good in the mix of everything <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite27" alt=":whistle:" title="Whistling    :whistle:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":whistle:" />3. If you look at the XML entry, you see that they get a strong sortby title to avoid other "Monster" movies sorting in-between them, but you are right there are quite a few movies with "Monster" in the title, and the whole purpose of IMDb+ is to identify your sequels easier, so you've convinced me. Keep in mind they were both added into a series/collection, just the way they were named, but all is now fixed.4. Cool.5. Only got around to watching the live-version (still an animation, but damn well done obviously) last-night actually, and for the generation that wasn't even alive when the cartoons came out it makes sense to rename those, but I'm always looking from the view-point "should I really add it?", because the IMDb+ rename-database file has ballooned to a pretty gigantic file that I never thought was needed, but just kept growing to keep things consistent as movie titles are often just chaotic when compared to others. Really figured that eventually Moving-Pictures would get collection/series support within the list and that IMDb+ would only be used to get better details and RottenTomatoes rating (which doesn't even work anymore, unless your API key wasn't revoked like they did on mine). The moment they are considering a sequel to the realistic-animation movie then I'll obviously rename all the cartoon ones, but for now I think they stand fine on their own, especially since most lists show release-year next to the tile and there is a clear difference there, before you select a movie and the cover gives it away.6. Oopsie, fixed <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite6" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":cool:" />7. Tried to keep it consistent indeedAnd yes, I'd really like to fix the root system of the scraper, but it is a pain to properly debug IMDb.com when it gives me different HTML than you on a Dutch IP. Have a few ideas how to go about it, just never find the time to do a proper rewrite.Changelog @ [URL unfurl="true"]https://github.com/RoChess/IMDbPlus/commit/93a4077687eeba36ced8d429f311db65ec9d62eb#diff-03c1ffe0f8f2f8b25d4dbf09936ce522[/URL]</blockquote>
