| | Posted: | | | | I just audited the film 'Gamer'. In it, there are three odd credits...
Directed by Neveldine/Taylor
Written by Neveldine & Taylor
Executive Producers Neveldine/Taylor
For my contribution, I was going to submit it as follows:
For the Director and Executive Producer credits, Mark Neveldine [Neveldine/Taylor] and Brian Taylor [Neveldine/Taylor].
For the writter credit, Mark Neveldine [Neveldine & Taylor] and Brian Taylor [Neveldine & Taylor].
When I uploaded my contribution, I found another one had just been uploaded. In that contribution, for each credit, they are entered as Mark Neveldine [Neveldine] and Brian Taylor [Taylor]. I voted 'no' as those don't match the actual credits. Before I went any further, however, I wanted to get some opinions as to which would be correct.
Just as an FYI, the CLT results are:
Mark Neveldine - 8 titles (28 profiles)
Brian Taylor - 29 titles (72 profiles)
Neveldine/Taylor - 4 titles (12 profiles)
Neveldine & Taylor - 1 titles (1 profiles) | | | 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.
The Centauri learned this lesson once.
We will teach it to them again.
Though it take a thousand years, we will be free.

Yes. That is as the data appears. Not imagined to be.

| | Posted: | | | | I think I agree with the other guy. Why would you put two different people's names into a single person's credit? Maybe I'm missing something. |

We didn't create the credit and we don't interpret the data, leave that to the other database. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | Martian this is not for you.  From the Rules Crew and Cast Take Crew Credits from the film credits only; list names exactly as they are in the credits. Key word EXACTLY Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

| | Posted: | | | | Okay, whatever. I accept that that's the rule. I'm not looking to change anything. I'm just trying to understand why it's the rule as it doesn't make sense to me. Is it because the credits used only their surnames? I mean what if it said "Mark Neveldine & Brian Taylor" in the film credit? Would you then do "Mark Neveldine [Mark Neveldine & Brian Taylor]" in the database? Of course not, because that would be ridiculous. |

| | Posted: | | | | It's the Rule because we follow the film credits, Varrus, it is that simple. The method that Martian has suggested is best way to capture the individual names AND the ACTUAL credit.
You can create all sorts of straw man arguments, and if they were using complete names no one would argue with what you said. This is no different from The Wachowski Brothers

| | Posted: | | | | BTW: the CLT results need looking into
Mark Neveldine - 8 titles (28 profiles) this is actually only 3 films (Crank, Crank 2 and Gamer)
and this one
Neveldine/Taylor - 4 titles (12 profiles) this is the same 3 films (Crank, Crank 2 and Gamer)
So either there are different credits in the DVDs or some of them are wrong |

Because that is how they are credited. That's one perspective, but another (equally valid, IMO) perspective is that each person is credited by last name only. The Rules have this to say about crew credits: Quote:
List individual credits only... Neither "Neveldine/Taylor" nor "Neveldine & Taylor" are "individual" credits, they're team credits. IMO they must be credited individually or not at all. --------------- |

| | Posted: | | | | I'm with Scott here. These shoudl eb broken up into single-name credits or not listed (the former makes more sense). |
