The movie It doesn’t have as many title drops as I would’ve expected. Also I don’t recall anyone ever saying The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in that film.

You should, perhaps, read the article.

How would the commenter know to bring it up without reading the article? This feels like dodging the question of "why is the determination of a title drop so bad?"

There's a section in the article regarding how to handle colons.

Why should colons be such special case? Why not treat commata or dashes the same way? (And conversely, did they count the one in the Aqua Teen Hunger Force movie title?)
