Normally, going by the rules, Making Of child profiles are not included, but I've noticed that some have turned up from time to time. Good examples is Full Tilt Boogie (a Making Of for From Dusk Till Dawn) or Dangerous Days (A Making Of for Blade Runner). So when are such documentaries okay?

Here's why I'm asking (which requires a serious discussion on movies with silly titles). Terror Firmer has a separate feature length Making Of documentary called Farts of Darkness on its own disc and Citizen Toxie has a separate feature length Making Of documentary called Apocalypse Soon on its own disc. here's where things get tricky: Both documentaries also have a separate disc on the instructional DVD set Make Your Own Damn Movie, which also includes the "documentary" (which is also sold separately) All the Love You Cannes and well as the non-documentary The Battle of Love's Return.

So I have three options:
1. Don't make Farts of Darkness and Apocalypse Soon a child profile for the core movies or for Make Your Own Damn Movie (I'd rather not do that option as that would make the set of child profiles for the latter incomplete).
2. Include Farts of Darkness and Apocalypse Soon as child profiles for Make Your Own Damn Movie (where they would be treated as Bonus Feature Films as neither are the making of Make Your Own Damn Movie) but not the parent movies (where they would be excluded because they'd be considered Making Of's for those movies)
3. Create child profiles for both Make Your Own Damn Movie and for the parent movies (because they're covered in greater depth than your typical documentary; Farts of Darkness is 99 minutes long and Apocalypse Soon is 135 minutes long; both are on their own disc). Again, the rules say otherwise but such child profiles do show up from time to soon.

Thoughts? At the very least I think they should be included with Make Your Own Damn Movie but it would be weird to have them in the one but not the other.
