Why is it that you always change to something else when you realize you got yourself stuck?

And why is that intelligent, it's called doing your own thing. How do you know that it wasn't done on purpose, let's say as a joke? Why would you use that rule where it states "When there is no overview......"

Umm DarkKnight, Pete is absolutely correct. seeing as how this thread is about Overviews NOT Running Time whoever intorduced Runtime into this discussion to tryand justify something relating ws the one whoe swerved off track. But runtime is a piece of data that is contained in two places, ususally, the back cover and the disc itself and our Rules specify the disc itself, if there is a discrepancy between the disc and the Cover.. The Overview is typically only contained in one locatiopn, the back cover.

Now if i understand your other comment about Pete's knowing something relative to this Rule. He was one of the members that was instrumental in the writing of the Rule and ken ratified it, so I think he has a leg up on you in that regard.

What are you talking about Skip? I never responded to anything Pete said, I responded only to Yves. I think to totally misread my post. You should read it again Skip. I really don't understand what you are telling me here.

Ok, I just looked back and I guess I see why you think I am responding to Pete. He posted while I was typing my response to Yves. My post has nothing to do with Pete's. post.

Yves,

For what it's worth, I agree with you.  I think too many people who are concerned with "as credited" have taken over the forum.  I, too think we should be more concerned with the actual movie

Yves, let me ask you this. Let's say an actor wants his name written different than it would be done under French rules and he had his name changed officially. What are you going to do? Are you using his legal name or the version that should be correct according to French language rules? The credit for his first movie lists the correct French spelling but that isn't how the actor spells his name.

For me the "correct" name is the one used in medias all over the world to speak of this actor. If someone changes officially his name, I have no problem with that, as I have no problem to use stage names as Miou-Miou or Bourvil. But this has nothing to do with this thread which speaks of errors in overviews, not only names, and of course has nothing to do with French spelling rules. I gave examples of Willis and  Kidman who are not French, and have no accent on their name.

You consider I was insulting because I wrote that I live in real word. I really do not see how this is insulting.

Nobody can deny the fact that, in real world, we have actors named (just examples) Bruce Willis or Nicole Kidman. If we enter in a database Brace Willis or Nicole Kadmin, we create a fake world, with data that concern only dvdprofiler online database. I can understand that some users prefer this fake world as it represents what is (voluntarily or not) on the cover, but I give my own feeling that I prefer to see real world data.

The fact that overview text has filtering functions proves that Ken did not wanted, at the beginning, just to reproduce the cover, thing that is perfectly done by the scan. If the overview does not represent the movie, its filtering function becomes totally useless.

Once again, I do not see anything insulting to say that I prefer "real world" data.
