I can name many other releases that has bonus discs which have been profiled. LotR: TFotR, Spider-Man, Apocalypse Now... These are single movies and not multiple movie box sets...!
They should be removed immediately, is all I can say. The problem is that new contributions are virtually *always* accepted - even if those profiles shouldn't exist. Where should the bonus disc id and content be captured; under the box set profile? |

So is it different for these bonus feature film discs?
Yes, that's entirely different indeed. While a disc of bonus material for one film doesn't get it's own profile, a "Bonus Feature Film" does. "Bonus Feature Films" are specifically addressed in the contribution rules on the bottom of this page. Actually this is self-explanatory. However, how do we know if the examples I gave are Bonus Feature Films? I haven't watched either of the LotR special discs, but I am assuming they are featurettes or documentaries. Looking at the rules it seems a Bonus Feature Film is a production made like a movie or a short. I don't think even Hearts of Darkness falls into that category, as it's "only" a documentary. I just feel like we are splitting hairs here.  |
