Evidence, not yet a record

Waiting on a second source

250 films where somebody has done the reading and nobody has checked it. 285 pages opened, 12 publishers, 217 sources that turned out to have nothing on the question.

This catalogue will not record a fact until two independent readings agree on it. That rule exists because it was broken once: a single model published a Blu-ray that has never been pressed, and nothing in the site could tell that page from a real one. The rule has held since, and it means a batch of research can be entirely reasonable and still not be publishable.

The last pass covered 250 of these films on , filed 831 answers, and produced one corroboration. So the answers are held and the reading is published: each film below carries the pages that were opened and the line that was written down off each one, named and linked, as somebody else's page rather than as a claim of ours.

The line and the answer are different things. A pass that read “Digital 3D” on a row of Wikipedia’s list wrote down that a hundred of these films were re-rendered from their original 3D models. Several of them were animated in stereo from the first frame, which is a different fact with a different word for it. The row is evidence and it is worth reading. The conclusion drawn from it is one machine having a view, and it stays in the queue.

The pass also came back with 44 pressings this catalogue has never held, 32 of them carrying a barcode: Belgian, Russian, Hong Kong, Dutch, Greek, Australian and Italian editions among them. Each sits on the film’s own page with its label, catalogue number and the shop or database that lists it, and none of them is counted in the disc record until somebody else finds the same box.

22 of these readings argue with something this catalogue already publishes, which makes them the most valuable rows here and the ones held to the highest bar. Four have already been acted on: the records under Jaws, Dune, Immortal and The Iron Mask were a different film in each case, and three of the four were printing another film’s plot under our title.

250 films of 1,048. A film leaves this list when a second source settles it, and the answer that settles it may well be that there is nothing to record.
