Can someone tell me how “Pirates of the Caribbean” belongs in the 2024 Art Print category?

We haven’t even fixed 2023 and we already have Cinema posters candidates in the 2024 Art Print Category. It hasn’t even been 1 month!
if you see an error just reach out to one of the admins and let them know to fix it... with 100s of posters being approved there are gonna be some mistakes that get through the cracks.

note that in this case the poster is actually for the ride not the movie and there is no better category for it...

"Poster based on the classic Disney theme park ride."
Completely understand, and I will post concerns to the corrections thread from here on in. But with regard to “Pirates of The Caribbean” while this item may not refer to a movie, based on the title alone I would think the Cinema category is best suited instead of the Art Print category. If not just to avoid confusion especially after what we just experienced in the 2023 Award Contest, but that’s just me.

Poster doesn't just mean gig poster.

Understood, but with regards to the above example, can you see how it could be easily misconstrued as Cinema and cause confusion? I don’t know maybe it’s me.

Still trying to decide what's for dinner. It's a daily dilemma.

My wife got us some Martha Stewart's meal service for 3 dinners a week. I've tried hello fresh before and one other, can't remember what it was called but this Marley spoon fudge is legit. Far easier than hell fresh and better meals. I'm not about that complicated prep. Just send me the goddamn sesame seeds already toasted, why do I have to work harder hello fresh? I don't think it's cheap but she's paying for it so I'll cook it

wait until Marley Spoon starts drymounting up your orders and/or changing recipes last minute.

oh sorry we didn't include broccoli for your chicken alfredo pasta, here is a zucchini.

Tonight's Martha.
Whenever we've had an issue, and there has been a handful, they've always credited the loss. No questions. I've lost whole boxes from other companies that don't pack enough ice during the summer (sorry, but I'm not about to eat your meat and fish that have been sitting in a box with liquid cold packs). But, again, they immediately credit any issues brought to them.
Pro tip: switch companies every so often and have them fighting to get your business back with large discounts.
Wanda: I can't stand people. I hate them. Do you hate them?
Henry: No, but I seem to feel better when they're not around.

Are we going to get an explanation what happened here or not? Not one member has defended POTY Ghost of Tsushima as a legitimate winner. Consensus is Marq Spusta should be 1st place. It’s been 3-weeks!
Obviously not the consensus seeing as Jake won fair and square. Just because a vocal minority of sweaty guys keep saying it, it doesn't make it true.
