Iām working on many of the pictures, itās really fun!
Iām adding new pictures and replacing a few. I also copy some of the existing pictures and resize and/or sharpen the image a little, which means I have to upload them again. So maybe Seb should delete some of the pictures that are no longer in use?
I want it to look as beautiful as possible! I also think we should get rid of the pictures that have a small address or something printed on them, you must know what I mean?
This doesnāt look so good, and I think I have enough clean pictures so that we wonāt need them.
Also I donāt think the Japanese posters look so beautiful with all the Asian letters, what do you think? If itās ok with you I would rather remove them and have only European posters!
I have also created a new page āVideo Coversā for some of the films, since they had such covers on their picture-pages, would be fun to put in more covers there, in reasonable sizes!

I know people who love the Japanese posters, then others like you say do not like the big style letters.

Keep up the good work, Silvanito !!! I would suggest you put the pictures youāre replacing into the picture section so they wonāt be lost (except itās exactly the same picture with less quality) ! Concerning the āaddressā and āprinted onā pictures I completely agree as long as thereās a version without anything written on it that doesnāt belong there.
I like the japanese posters very much, I think we should use (put) them in the picture sections of each movie !??!
Great idea !!! I have a lot of video covers to put there ! I think just not in reasonable sizes [have a look at āBlack Jackā and āKeomaā]! How can I make 'em smaller ??? I donāt know anything about things like that !!!

Yes I put most of the pictures Iām replacing into the pic. section of each film, except the really bad ones! After all we donāt need every single picture that is available!
Regarding reasonable sizes for pictures/covers, youāll need an image editing-programme, I use Irfan View, you can download it for free here:
What about this suggestion?
For Spaghettis a classic image Italian poster on the film page, alternative Italian as well as other all countries posters on the pictures section of that film page.
For non Italian Eurowesterns a classic image Country Of Origin poster on the film page, all others on the pictures section of that film page.
in special pages thereās a section unused filesā¦ if thatās what u meanā¦ but i think we need all pictures we can get. but if you find a better quality version, we can delete the bad quality file
[quote=āSilvanito, post:85, topic:555ā]I have nothing against the Japanese letters, I just think it looks a little stupid on a western-movie poster!
If it was a kung fu-movie it would look great ;)[/quote]
Believe me, I understand what you are trying to say. I really do! But, as an American who grew up with Westerns all around himā¦it seems odd, sometimes, to see Western posters with Italian and German lettering on them, too! Even though I am well aware that these films originated from European countries!
Ha ha!
Frankly, I love the Japanese posters with the Japanese lettering. They are absolutely beautiful! And, yes, they are vintage posters (many of the Spaghetti Westerns were released in Japan before they came out in the USA or other countries). They are great examples of just how āmodernā Japanese poster artwork was back in the 50ās and 60ās.
The Spaghetti Western posters I do not care for, at all, are the ones from Thailand! I know some folks think they are pretty coolā¦but, I think they sport some of the most atrocious artwork on the face of the earth! The lettering doesnāt bother me, at allā¦but the images sure do.
But, of course, this is all simply a matter of opinion.
Iāve been working my way through loading a whole lot of english titles in the international titles section and it struck me that we should have a page for alternate italian titles. Sounds daft I know but actually there are a fair number of films which are listed under a spanish title for example, (presumably because it was a spanish co production and this was the original title of its release) so the italian title is not listed anywhere.
Hereās an example:
Awkward Hands (english title) is listed as Manos Torpes (spanish title). Therefore if someone was looking for it by its italian title (Quando Satana Impugna la Colt) theyād have real trouble unless they knew what they were looking for.
Does this make sense or am I rambling?
