At any rate, the consensus on this is clear...one against everyone else.

To the OP, please be sure to include that paragraph in the Overview.

Yes, we would like to engage in an intelligent conversation.  The problem is that you keep participating.

Tgher you go, hal, a totally unnecessry comment and highly insulting. Maybe someday you'll actually get your brain engaged BEFORE you start typing.

You as well, Tim

But it's OK for you to say that you'd like to have an intelligent conversation...which means that nobody here is having an intelligent conversation....

You can dish it out but........

Hal:

Do you even read the utter nonsense that you usually type?
           

Oh I almost forgot.

It is certainly far superior to anything i have seen thus far. My opinion is actually based on something. I don't want to dismiss your opinion or anyone else's for any reason, ken But what i have seen so far is simply I think it is so because i think it is so and some vague refernces to the rules, which has now opened a can of worms which instead of addressing they choose to ignore. I didn't open the can, i tried to keep it closed, but its open now.

Somebody a week or so back made refernce to people not giving adequate thought to the ramification of what they say and this is a perfect example of that. The only semi-rational thought i have seen is its "relevant to the film", there is other data that is also relevant to the film and likewise is not prohibited by the Rules so.....where's the damn line. And if there is a line for Credit Blocks and fine print then why not Font style, size and physical separation from the actual synopsis.

Some vague references to the rules? Some vague references to the rules? I have stated that there is NOTHING in the rules telling us we should exclude the paragraph in question. What is vague about that?   

I know you think your opinion is superior to anyone elses. That's clear from the way you express yourself. But that in itself is only an opinion, not fact.

As far as your "Credit Block" reference, that is clearly a red herring.  There's not much difference between the first and other paragraphs of the cover even though the typesize and face are different. They both contain information a casual user would be interested in about the film. The Credit Block is a totally different matter. It's in small print, much like a legal document where attorneys try to hide information from the casual user. And while it does contain information relevant to the movie, it's not the sort of information most people are the least bit interested in. People look at an overview as an aide to deciding whether or not to watch the program. Who is in the film and who won or was nominated for awards is information that will help someone make that decision. I don't agree that the information in the Credit block is relevant in that same way.

As a thought, if the Overview is supposed to contain only a synopsis of the film, the field should have been titled "Synopsis" instead of "Overview."  Overview implies more than just a synopsis of the film.

the fine print is also written in "prose".

It isn't, and your claim isn't going to change that. Now quit trolling.

What is this, kindergarten?
I'm not aware of anyone over the age of six who speaks like that.

If you want to be treated like an adult, act like an adult.

Yes hal. that includes you as well, sorry pal but...ther absolutely no excuse for half of your posts to this thread, other than being nasty.

Actually Steve on page 1 also said to start the overview from below the images, but he never returned (wonder why!) to either support his decision or change his mind.
