TipsandTricks
Let us explain some of our game’s little quirks.
.Punctuation Counts
.
Okay, strike what we said before: This is bad news for copy editors too.
Its calledIn & Out.
The 1996 Mike Leigh movie isSecrets & Lies, notSecrets and Lies.
TheFast and the Furiousmovies will ruin your life if youre not careful.
Apparently the official title is “Rihie Rih”.
To begin with: Movies often have the same title as other movies.
Cinematrix, as it is currently structured, is built to account for that.
And then there are the cases where the same actor is in two separate movies of the same title.
Jamie Lee Curtis is in two movies calledHalloween.
Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and David Arquette are in two movies calledScream.
Whoopi Goldberg is in two movies calledThe Color Purple.
.Why Not Just Provide Years for Movies?
We get this response a lot to the problem of movies with identical titles.
Michael, we dont mean to put you on blast, but this email is a wonderful visual aid.

The definition read, Any movie whose title contains the word and or the symbol &.
Were not looking forThelma and Louise.
As a reminder, for titles, we go by what appears on the Movie Database (TMDb).
Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb.

Well, Sonic is blasted in from another world.
.How Do You Solve a Problem LikeDetective Pikachu?
Such was the case the day we decided to put Ryan Reynolds on a grid with Animated Film.
The question IsDetective Pikachuan animated film?
The latter half is meant to include movies likeWho Framed Roger RabbitandEnchanted.
The question then became, Are the Pokemon inDetective Pikachudifferent from the rest of the world of that film?
A window into our madness:
.IsThe Lego Moviea Superhero Movie?
Ah yes, how to define a superhero movie.
The great question of our time.
The proliferation of superheroes in movies means theyve become impossible to corral into one succinct definition.
There isnt much costume to Wolverine inLogan.
Batman famously has no superhuman abilities.
And then someone brought upThe Lego Movie.
Again, to the Slack:
