Seems no different than using the edition field for:
"Widescreen Collection"
"Classic Monsters Collection"
and numerous others.
Well, there is a difference.
When those editions are used, there is a film title used. As the rules state, the main reason for the edition field is to separate different editions of the same movie. In this case "Sam Katzman" is not a movie. It's not likely that we're going to get the same movies packaged together again under the title "Sam Katzman", but with another edition name. Actually the rules don't state any main reason for the edition field... it just list the uses of it... not designating any higher then the other it says... Quote:
The Edition field is for distinguishing between DVDs, and for indicating special versions and collections (for example The Criterion Collection, Widescreen, Full-Screen Edition). So the edition field is for.. - Distinguishing between DVDs - Indicating Special Versions - Indicating Collections I see no where that it says it is for anything above the other. | | | | Pete |

| | Posted: | | | | Ok, maybe you're right, Pete. My main objection is still that calling this title just "Sam Katzman" seems wrong. And now that it's been pointed out that the same thing has been done to the Boris Karloff title, I think that it's even more wrong there. In my opinion, as I have stated, data needed for identification should not be kept out of the title field. No online retailer that I have seen refers to these titles as just "Sam Katzman" or "Boris Karloff". But I guess I'll just vote neutral and keep the "correct" title locally...  | | | My freeware tools for DVD Profiler users.
