Bit of a screw-up

jetpack_monkeySo Festivids disputes started today. I thought I would be super-helpful and note where every film that was listed by itself had a sequel or sequels, something which would disqualify the fandom as a safety in most cases.
See, in my universe, that's the most helpful thing in the world. Databases have to be complete! A total accounting of the source must be made!
Except, of course, this isn't my universe and I may have teed off a few people who nominated a 90 minute animated-or-horror film as a safety and did not expect to get saddled with the 1-12 largely direct-to-DVD sequels I dredged up on the IMDb.
I still think a few of the disputes I made are solid -- they are films that clearly take place in a shared universe. Beyond just my need for organization, I can definitely see a case where someone would request a full-universe vid.
But in cases where my zeal for completeness clearly overrode my common sense, I left a new comment withdrawing the dispute.
