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

              As is XIX

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

                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).

          It was the chronological 3nd until the Jigsaw and Spiral reboots which take place 10+ years after the death of Jigsaw. But yeah I only refer to it as Saw VII for that reason

          Saw X takes place between 2 and 3

      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.

          Honestly, if you could just put metadata tags on files and if file search on non-Mac machines didn’t take ages, it wouldn’t even matter.

            With the right roftware its reasonably easy to read and rewrite metadata/format a new file name in large batches but it’s not something I’d expect the average person to touch.

            Yeah, my solution would also be awkward dealing with most movies that are one off stories and there are some weird technicalities where deciding if a movie is from one franchise or somehow a crossover series from a different studio etc. Where it would need some arbitrary decision making.
