It finally got released??

Do you have a UPC? It doesn't seem to be in DVDProfiler yet.


I think they released a limited edition of 3 copies. You can probably still grab one on ebay for $1

I almost never bother to change online genres, but I have to disagree about documentaries. I agree most docs are of general interest, such as Planet Earth, but a documentary about pig breeding would fall under Special Interest to me at least. The appeal should at least be somewhat general imho.

Also, things like fireplace and aquarium DVDs, I would put under Accessories rather than anything else.


That's why I don't bother to submit any genre changes to the online anymore.  Too much disagreement and not worth the argument.  Especially since the genre field locks automatically. 

The other things I have listed under special interest are a couple of bonus promo discs, a compilation dvd from Trading Spaces, and all of the Mythbusters I have, though I'm considering changing those to documentary.

I was never sure what "Accessories" meant so I have nothing listed for that one.

Accessories is for calibration discs and such.

Madame Mole has a number of instructional DVDs about knitting, spinning & weaving. I use the special interest category for those.

Thanks for your answers, dear Sirs.

No surprise there. Even the rules clearly state as much:

Genres are often a matter of personal interpretation, which can differ among users.

I use it for all my Mixed Martial Arts DVD's. I can't remember if it was listed in the rules or another thread, but I read that's what we are supposed to classify them under. I believe pro wrestling is also considered "Special Interest"

I would have classified pro wrestling under "Sports" ... and maybe mixed martial arts as well.

Just more proof genres are in the eye of the beholder.

No kidding.  I would have classified it as comedy.
