Hi all...

It's becoming a more and more common occurrence that undeniably non-films are being added to the site, despite the automated checks I put in place to avoid this. The problem here is largely that the IMDB doesn't always correctly classify entries or doesn't provide enough information to determine one way or the other. As fun as these entries may well be to write fwfrs for, they simply don't belong on a purported film-related site.

So... in order to curb this, I've started this thread where we can post non-films (or discuss borderlines) for possible blockage from the site.

I'll get the ball rolling so you can see the sort of thing that's being added that really shouldn't be...

60th Annual Tony Awards, The
2007 NFL Draft
2004 World Series
Naked News
Harry Potter in the Hood
American Eats
Denise Austin: Fit And Lite

There's a fair few more so feel free to add to this list

Why has this been blocked?

Benj, please could you look at the ones here that you haven't dealt with?

There is no more film named Scribble for this movie. The IMDB link is missing and after further investigation I believe this movie no longer exists.

William A. Baker doesn't appear to make the films he announces:

Dead

and

Dead

Check out his IMDB page though, it's a masterclass in bullshittery.

Which reminds me - here are three notable Shakespeare adaptations that I think should be included on the site (currently blocked for being "TV movies").

Peter Brook's Hamlet with Adrian Lester: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0371335/

David Giles' Twelfth Night with Charles Gray: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072329/

Kenneth Branagh's Twelfth Night with Richard Briers: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0324342/
