| | Posted: | | | | 3:10 to Yuma has this backcover:  Do we add the text above the pictures as well? Or just from the bold under the pictures? | | | "What's God?"
"You know when you want something really bad and you wish for it?, God's the guy that ignores you"

| | Posted: | | | | IMHO...from the text under the picture, since I can't read Norwegian. But the Rules stipulate:-
Never include the following items in overviews:
Taglines
Reviews (unless they are incorporated into the text of the overview on the case)
Extra features
Hyperlinks or other HTML
Line-break hyphens

| | Posted: | | | | Not being a Norwegian speaker either, I'd actually include the paragraph above the pictures too.
It seems too long to be a tagline, doesn't look like a review and seems to be about the film, rather than any extra features. So I would include it. |

| | Posted: | | | | Roughly what it says above the picture:
"Russel Crowe, Gretchen Mol and Christian Bale play in this new version based on a western classic by Elmore Leonard. The direction is by the same man that gave us "Walk the Line", James Mangold. The movie had 2 Oscar nomination"
Roughly.... | | | "What's God?"
"You know when you want something really bad and you wish for it?, God's the guy that ignores you"

| | Posted: | | | | Not speaking norwegian either but it says something like:
RC, GM and CB play ... based on the western classic by EL. It's from the same direction star as "WtL", JM. The movie was nominated for 2 Oscars. | | | Karsten

Roughly.... That sounds like part of an overview to me. |

| | Posted: | | | | That top poaragraph is NOT part of the Overview. It is not related to it, it is a different size and font from the ACTUAL overview itself.
Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

Skip I didn't know there was any ruling saying that the overview had to be in the same font/size for all of it. Besides, that looks like the same font (only italicised) as "Arizona i Amerika, slutten av 1800-tallet..." I agree with those saying they would include it. |

Yes, unfortunately you're rather well-known for removing absolutely valid parts off overviews.  Even though you succeed at times, you've mostly been wrong, and here again: this is neither a tagline nor a review, nor is it about extra features, so there's no reason to leave it out. Also, there is nothing in the rules about different fonts and sizes - that's just some kind of justification you've conjured up to support your personal preference. So, @bentyman: I'd include it, if I were you. It's about the film, and there's nothing in the rules that says it should be left out. |

| | Posted: | | | | Skip likes to pretend he's Professor Irwin Corey.
We know he isn't, but it's a fun imitation. | | | If it wasn't for bad taste, I wouldn't have no taste at all.

| | Posted: | | | | It, of course, has to be included per the rules. What Skip wants to do is reduce the overview to the synopsis given on the backcover. That's not what the rules want us to do though, so just ignore his comment  The rules force us to include everything from the back cover main text other than the things mentioned above by other people. | | | | - Jan |

| | Posted: | | | |  I keep forgetting just how much some users DIDN'T have in the Rules Development Proces. Permit me to remind you that Overview is a synonym for synopsis, or summary. The personal jibes and attacks only diminish your opinions. Skip | | | ASSUME NOTHING!!!!!!

Unfortunately, you don't: you keep contributing and voting using those personal preferences... Everyone else understands that this is part of the overview - and again, there is absolutely nothing in the rules that even hints that it might have to be left off. Oh, and thanks for the red arrow - I expected nothing less... | | | | Last edited: by T!M |

| | Posted: | | | | The text over the picture is a part of the Overview IMO. It is not a tagline, and not a review, so according to the rules it should be entered as part of the Overview. In my opninion that is...  | | | Berak
