[developers] Increasing parse coverage

[Ann Copestake]

I hope people more knowledgeable than I am will comment, but:

- titles without quotes won't help - I don't know if there's any mileage 
in trying to insert these via a list of movie names.

- there are many very bizarre uses of ... - any idea where they came 
from?  It doesn't look like normal punctuation use to me.  I would be 
tempted to just try removing all of them ...
