| | Posted: | | | | There is a contribution up for 'Zombieland'. It does not add full crew, so I made a contribution that does. There is, however, a difference of opinion as to a single credit. Here is the cast list as presented in the end credits:
Columbus Jesse Eisenberg
Tallahassee Woody Harrelson
Wichita Emma Stone
Little Rock Abigail Breslin
406 Amber Heard
As Himself Bill Murray
Clown Zombie Derek Graf
Here is the question...How do you enter Bill Murray? Note: Ken has already ruled on the "Name: Himself Role: Bill Murray" debate so that is a non-issue. | | | No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

We will teach it to them again.

| | Posted: | | | | This one is kinda a tough one for me.
On one hand we have the rule that states character names are to be exactly as credited in the credits. And there is no exception to this rule.
On the other hand if we put it in the profile as "As Himself" our online collection will show Bill Murray as As Himself.
I guess I would have to say go strictly by the rules and contribute "As Himself" since there is no exception... and then I would remove As from the credit locally to fix that problem.
Though I would petition to have an exception to the rule to drop any As before character names. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | That is the purpose of Rules... to be sure to get the info that is wanted in the database. And when it comes to character names... what Invelos decided they wanted was as credited in the actual credits. With an exception written that says if there is nothing provided in the rules for character we can use an outside source. Since he is credited as himself that is what must be used. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | I always enjoy how, whenever Ken rules in a thread that includes a poll, the vote for the other option always keeps increasing after the matter is settled. Here again: at the time Ken made his ruling, there were three votes for "as as Himself". And right now, it has six votes...  | | | | Last edited: by T!M |
