Welcome back for the first newsletter from in and around the Spaghetti Western Database world at the start of the new year. This is to give a short overview summary of December 2020.
For those who missed it, we now post announcements in the Newsletter category of our forums, which is set up so that everyone is watching that category for new topics by default (you can opt out of this using the “bell” icon 
at the top right corner of that category). So you should have been notified of this very announcement with the little notification dot in the forums itself - or via email 
, if you weren’t currently logged in. This is our new way of testing a 
newsletter that ties more neatly into our community. If it works well we will phase out our separate purely email-based mailing list which we rarely make use of.
Please do let us know how this works for you and what you think about it.
NEW STUFF IN AND AROUND THE SWDB IN 
DECEMBER 2020:

Some of us took the time before and during the holidays to add a whole lot of pictures and posters to the database. Many more movies now have Pictures subpages and we will continue to improve the resolution and quality of pictures and posters we offer. Please get in touch with us if you have better versions of posters, lobby cards, still images or other material that we currently only offer in very small or bad qualitz.

There were almost no new reviews or articles posted in December, I guess everyone took a deep breath. @Divy however took an in depth look at DUCK YOU SUCKER:
Revolution is Confusion
