> So for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring either "Lord of the Rings" or "Fellowship of the Ring" would count as title drops (feel free to hover over the visualizations to explore the matches)!
An unacknowledged partial title drop for that movie is that "Lord of the Ring" (with no s at the end) is uttered.
I'm imagining some film school student explaining how Barbie would have been a better movie, a real film even, without mentioning the character's name.
I guess this is the downside of making a data analysis thing as a side project to hopefully get something going, but not having the time to take care of all potential edge cases.
I guess "Them!" is also affected by this, and maybe The Thing or The Birds...
Exactly. If they had limited it to cases where "it" is referring to Pennywise, that would be one thing, but not when anyone uses a very common pronoun!
What a fun read! I should point out though that the movie Saina definitely needs a "name" icon next to it, as it's a biopic of badminton player Saina Nehwal.
Just dropping in to say thank you! Fun read, fun idea, well executed.
Smells like the old internet!
Runpee.com for when best to pee during a long film, Mr Skin for nude scenes (Flesh of The Stars in Knocked up fiction) … and titledrops.net for title drops.
I would've liked 2d charts or at least stacked bar charts for the correlation ones to see if the correlations are different for ones with only one drop or many drops
The movie It doesn’t have as many title drops as I would’ve expected. Also I don’t recall anyone ever saying The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in that film.
I think the GP's point (badly made) may be that the Lord of the rings example is addressed explicitly in the article.
"titles containing a colon are split and either side counts as a title drop. So for The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring either "Lord of the Rings" or "Fellowship of the Ring" would count as title drops"
Please don't comment on whether someone read an article. "Did you even read the article? It mentions that" can be shortened to "The article mentions that".
How would the commenter know to bring it up without reading the article? This feels like dodging the question of "why is the determination of a title drop so bad?"
Why should colons be such special case? Why not treat commata or dashes the same way? (And conversely, did they count the one in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie title?)

Including films where the title is a character name makes the data set less interesting. “Barbie title-drops a ton!” yeah ok.
I'm imagining some film school student explaining how Barbie would have been a better movie, a real film even, without mentioning the character's name.
In The Ghost Writer the main character's name is never mentioned.
Barbie could be en even better movie if one did a shot each time the name was heard.
They could have just named the character and avoided this too
Including “It” on the list made it seem like a parody.

I think it's quite interesting to include. Apparently Barbie says "Barbie" more than It says "it", which is fascinating!
I favor those dramatic Gaspar Noe title drops, the title in huge red letters full screen, over characters naming the title. It's huge.
But then opensubtitles couldn't be used to analyse that.
Referenced strongly in 2024’s The Substance.
sometimes the title is in the script, but isn't actually a line said by anyone:
Aliens (1986)
(Aliens hissing)

Patrick, you're the American psycho!
I really like a credit drop a la Gaspar Noe just rolling the credits mid way through Climax.
I like the idea of a surrealist scene in a restaurant where the credits are just tucked away in a menu. Maybe it's been done
"The only way for me to solve this crisis is to be Superman 4 - The Quest for Peace"

One of my favorite title drops is in Arrested Development:
Michael Bluth: "Your average American male is in a perpetual state of adolescence, you know, arrested development"
Narrator: "Hey! Thats the name of the show"
I would've liked 2d charts or at least stacked bar charts for the correlation ones to see if the correlations are different for ones with only one drop or many drops
one of my favorites is Robocop 2 (1990):
> 00:23:19 it gives me great pleasure to introduce to you, Robocop 2
well educative for people from creative fields

You should, perhaps, read the article.
I obviously read at least some of the article.

There's a section in the article regarding how to handle colons.
Why should colons be such special case? Why not treat commata or dashes the same way? (And conversely, did they count the one in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie title?)
Yet again, this feels like dodging the question of "why is the determination of a title drop so bad?"
C'mon it was half the content of my comment and you still refused to acknowledge it. What do you want
