The thing is, if they did have a funny sex number, it probably would’ve been 19
hansl@lemmy.world 6 months ago
- That’s not “IV”, Obelix, that’s four.

I think you mean L̅X̅X̅X̅LXXXV
refurbishedrefurbisher@lemmy.sdf.org 6 months ago
Just put the year first :P
RagnarokOnline@reddthat.com 6 months ago
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.
salton@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I think this would work.
FRANCHISE (YEARRELEASED) TITLE
BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I would do year first but these would all be in sub folder for the franchise
eager_eagle@lemmy.world 6 months ago
MMIX
BassaForte@lemmy.world 6 months ago
They are ordered correctly, alphabetically.

Saw VII: The Final Chapter…
…
Saw VIII
Saw IX
Saw X
entropicdrift@lemmy.sdf.org 6 months ago
There is no Saw 9. Like Windows 10, Saw X comes right after 8
EatATaco@lemm.ee 6 months ago
It’s in alphabetical order and IX is definitely there. Unless I’m missing some other jok.
sdoorex@slrpnk.net 6 months ago
It’s because Saw VII ate IX.
Steeve@lemmy.ca 6 months ago
The Final Chapter 2: Electric Boogaloo
LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Produced by Tom Brady.
Bwaz@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Better call Saw.
kamenlady@lemmy.world 6 months ago
It’s all good man.
joneskind@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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)
kSPvhmTOlwvMd7Y7E@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I thought maybe translating “saw” is better, but nah, “La scicisse” et “la sciecette” is pretty cursed too
whyNotSquirrel@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
well, I would have actually watch it!
LazaroFilm@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Saw VI in French takes a whole new meaning…
Haus@kbin.social 6 months ago
Saw XI takes a whole new meaning in China.
stepanzak@iusearchlinux.fyi 6 months ago
What does it mean?
Dyf_Tfh@lemmy.sdf.org 6 months ago
“Saw six” is pronounced like “saucisse” which mean sausage.
Primarily0617@kbin.social 6 months ago
"six" in english translates to "six" in french
i don't know what to do with this information
sanguinepar@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Whereas Saw X in English just sounds warm and comfortable.
Maalus@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Yeah it was wild hearing about it on Saw Con lol
seliaste@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 months ago
I would regularily joke with my friend about going to eat some saw V sequels
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Or to anyone whose name is Violet but goes by Vi for short.
FleetingTit@feddit.de 6 months ago
Reminder that VIIII is a valid way to write 9 in Roman numerals.
Astronautical@sh.itjust.works 6 months ago
What about VIV?
FleetingTit@feddit.de 6 months ago
There is historical precedent that the Romans used XIIX for 18, I guess VIV should be fine for 9.
SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 6 months ago
Actually?

Weird plex, but okay.
naticus@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.
SmoothLiquidation@lemmy.world 6 months ago
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.
CmdrShepard@lemmy.one 6 months ago
You can also just change the sort title in the options.
Rooty@lemmy.world 6 months ago
A cool,creative film that used its low budget creatively has been turned into a crappy franchise on par with Haloween and Friday13th. Shame.
synae@lemmy.sdf.org 6 months ago
Rocky VII, Adrian’s Revenge!
JewGoblin@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Has anyone watched the latest Saw?
I just downloaded, is worth the watch?
jivemasta@reddthat.com 6 months ago
I wonder if you could make a context aware sorting system for files. Like if there are a handful of files all similarly named, it could check for sequential numbers and roman numerals and spelled out numbers and just sort them that way.
Driveway4964@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Doesn’t Spiral count?
Luisp@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 months ago
Is it missing saw 3d? I never knew if that was cannon
telllos@lemmy.world 6 months ago
Saucisses is my favourite one
Granixo@feddit.cl 6 months ago
It’s the MegaMan situation all over again XD
bobzilla@lemmy.world 6 months ago
You know what they say, “I before V, except after C”. (Or something like that.)
Resol@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I still remember when Windows File Explorer orders 10 before 2 (I still didn’t verify if it still does that and I don’t feel like it)
cryptosporidium140@lemmy.world 6 months ago

It's an honored slasher film tradition.
Maultasche@lemmy.world 6 months ago
So when do we get Jigsaw Takes Manhattan, or Jig in the Hood?
sanguinepar@lemmy.world 6 months ago
There have also been eight subsequent Friday 13th-related movies since its “Final Chapter” :-)
FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 months ago
And Freddy came back after Freddy’s Dead: The Final Nightmare.
lechatron@lemmy.today 6 months ago
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.
thejml@lemm.ee 6 months ago
The next one should always be “the search for more money”.
superduperenigma@lemmy.world 6 months ago
I can’t wait for the 16th mainline installment of Final Fantasy to be released on PC.
Gabu@lemmy.world 6 months ago
