They're not wrong, they just use a different criteria than some people (they count festival screenings, and they count premieres outside the US). Whether they're right or not is really immaterial (it's important to realize that the years really don't matter that much: it's a necessarily arbitrary method of organization). <br /><br />That said, if you'll check my list, you'll see I have <i>The Usual Suspects</i> listed under 1995. That's not because I'm ignoring imdb, but because when I first made the list for 1995 several years ago, that's the date imdb had for it. Their dates change over time, as they acquire new information. I don't have anyway to know when they change their dates, so I just have to somehow come across it randomly. So thanks for the info, I'll move <i>The Usual Suspects</i> to 1994, if only to remain as consistent as possible.Sean Gilmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16124894627028920508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15283666.post-86916844452283199412009-06-24T18:53:11.518-07:002009-06-24T18:53:11.518-07:00You make a statement about IMDB in your intro on t...You make a statement about IMDB in your intro on this post that I'd like to address. While using IMDB as a definitive source for when a movie came out is not (in my mind) a bad idea, I am hoping that you don't just go from the year that IMDB states inside the parentheses next to the movie title. As you can tell from this example, which is not the only time I've seen this occur on the IMDB site, they sometimes state the wrong year in the parenthese. The Usual Suspects was released on August 16th 1995 but the year in the parentheses is 1994. I've checked other different statements of the movie's release date and the cooroboration seems to be that the release year was indeed 1995.<br /><br />Again, my point here is not to criticize but to help you out. I hope I do indeed help you out and that you are able to correctly display your information on your site.Wyvernhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00672572375111037319noreply@blogger.com
