      I just watched all the “Final Destination” movies and the 4th one is called “The Final Destination”. Then the went on to make a 5th, and a 6th is in production.

          We just re-watched Spaceballs last night and I still laughed and laughed. There’s a scene I don’t remember seeing before where Dark Helmet barks an order and a Spaceball replies, “Jawohl, mein Helmet!” And Rick Moranis gives him this look in such a perfectly-timed way that I lost it. Even with the helmet down it worked.

          To be fair, they do kind of start over with most of them. It’s basically a franchise that reboots with every iteration!

          It’s their first number containing different digits that’s the same either way up

            Still not seeing it, lol. I guess you mean it would be their 69, except that you need one to be the upside down version of the other…? I don’t know. Someone should write a research paper on this. :D

              69 is (our) 69 because the whole thing is the same when you rotate it 180°

              As is XIX

                I thought it was because the 6 is a dude with his dick out, and 9 is a girl with her tits out, or the 9 is another dude flipped around…

                  Yes it is! One person one way, one person the other. From the 180 perspective, the same.

                  The participants are thus mutually inverted like the numerals 6 and 9 in the number 69

                  https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/69_(sex_position)

                  Unless you’re meaning it specifically has to be 2 digits, and therefore XIX doesn’t qualify? If so that’s fair (it was just the closest analogue I could think of. Maybe II would indeed be better).

                69 isn’t “the funny” number because it’s an ambigram. It’s the “funny number” because it’s the sex position number.

                You’re one of that’s 10000: https://xkcd.com/1053/ :)

      This is true.

      If it’s in a list with other films with years first, you wouldn’t be about to visually scan by letter, though. Two “Saw” films could be separated by hundreds of others in between.

          That looks solid.

    Fun fact: In France, Saw VI and Saw VII skipped the numbers because Saw 6 is pronounced like saucisse (sausage) and Saw 7 is pronounced like someone having a lisp saying chaussette (sock)

        There is historical precedent that the Romans used XIIX for 18, I guess VIV should be fine for 9.

      Even better, you can do it by editing the “sort title” so even in the library they show up in the order you prefer. So in this case I’d change them to be “Saw 01” through “Saw 10” and I won’t have to mess with a different view for those circumstances. I do need to go back through and edit a handful more of my movies because I’ve slacked off lately.

        I always liked to use year instead of number. That way it sorts the same and if there end up being more than 9 I don’t have to go back and rename it to 09.

        Now I use Jellyfin with the auto collection plugin. It does a great job of grouping everything correctly.

          I just always do it out of habit when I number movies because of the rare possibility of a series going into double digits. Obviously I wouldn’t need to ever worry about it with LOTR or anything that is definitely over, but regardless it’s not painful to go back and edit.

          Edit: also I’ve considered switching to Jellyfin myself, but I’ve had a Plex Lifetime membership since line 2014 and as annoying as they sometimes are about emailing me, I do like the polish it has.
