And for reference, fuzzy title matching *does* occur, but if the edit
distance between a film title and possible candidates is too great, it
is considered to be "not close enough," and thus the grab for that
item is stopped.  This is the only sane way to handle automatic
metadata grabbing with any degree of accuracy.  So MythVideo *does*
take the "most likely movie" when presented with multiple options.  It
just does so within reason.
