| Saturday July 06 06:24:06 2002 Format question |
| Folks,
We may be working at cross-purposes again, because I've noticed recently that some entries' title fields have been changed and re-changed. What are we doing in these situations: A foreign language title in the IMDb does not have "Also Known As", but the literal English title can be translated using Babblefish or some other source vs. those foreign films which were released in English with an English title. Examples of both: Record number: 7542 Title: Freccia nera, La (Black Arrow, The) Record number: 7557 Title: Colt era il suo dio, La (1972) aka God Is My Colt .45 Should these both be noted as 'aka' in the database, or should we differentiate between literal translations and actual titles? |

| "We may be working at cross-purposes again, because I've noticed recently that some entries' title fields have been changed and re-changed." That was me, taken the "()" out of the titles and used it with dates all through. "What are we doing in these situations: A foreign language title in the IMDb does not have "Also Known As", but the literal English title can be translated using Babblefish or some other source" Careful here David, Often the translated title is radically different than the foreign title. Ever hear of the TV series, Bowler Hat & Go-Go Boots? Diana Rigg & Linda Thorson have a ton of scenes in the series. ;) "Should these both be noted as 'aka' in the database, or should we differentiate between literal translations and actual titles?" Encountered some problems over literal translations. Took one out that had a chloro scene yesterday, where the fella wasn't sure of the title, put what he thought it may be? Then in description he put the title as it appeared in another language. Still working on it. Also had to delete where they've translated and mixed ep: Titles for series titles recent. I'd like to sort these ahead of time before we start getting multiple entries due to translation. |

I was going to enter this ep later today. Peggy O'Neal was the first female voice actor listed in the credits, so she would be the voice of Yumoko (that name may be wrong ... I'll check). I don't usually bother with crediting voice actors, but since it's right at hand, I'll add it. |

| So I'm wondering about entry #3919. There's a thread on Discussion which you might want to check out, but the quick summary is that there's a very good chance that the actress here is Eileen Davidson, not Carolyn Conwell...OR, the description could apply to both scenes, and there simply needs to be a new entry for Davidson. For the moment, I don't know which. Sorry! |

Title: The Moonriders Medium: Movie Serial Actress: Unknown but most likely Mildred Moore Description: Unknown episode of silent cliffhanger serial. Tagline:"An astounding Superserial of brain, brawn and bravery-of catacombed cliffs and Devilmen's desperate deeds". On the stunning poster for this serial a DiD is seen being manhandled by two masked "Devilmen".She is unbound but is gagged over the mouth style with a large triangle of white cloth. Alas I have not actually seen this serial.The relevant still can be seen in Kalton C. Lahue's "Bound and Gagged", a history of the silent cliffhanger serials. ======== I've got LaRue's book with the advertisement photograph in question. Elsewhere in the book, LaRue notes that posing for serial production stills were often taken during the action to avoid expensive and time-consuming posing. This may be the case here -- I emphasize "may." Should we leave this entry in based on an advertisment? (BTW, "The Moon Riders" -- note spelling -- is one of the great lost serials.) |

That's why we could use two different formats -- one for a literal translation and the other for the actual English language release title. |

Sorry! On my lists I do have references to a Conwell scene from Y&R (although everyone has the first name wrong). 3919 is so generic a description that it's impossible to tell whether it a misidentification of the Eileen Davidson scene or whether it is another similar one. I'll try to check on it. |

"That's why we could use two different formats -- one for a literal translation and the other for the actual English language release title." Don't really see the need for literal translation titles. Foreign titles are spelled as is in our air-scheds That's just an opinion, if you'd like them in I have no problem doing it. |

I listed this as other cuase its animation not live action but after looking at a couple of other db entries I guess cartoons are useualy listed as tv series so you may wanna change that too. |

I'll try to > check on it. I looked at the scene listed some places as "Corrine" Conwell. It possibly could be Carolyn Conwell from about 20 years ago, I can't say for sure. See pics below. The scene itself barely fits 3919. She does have her hands tied in front to the bedstead at one point, but she is sitting on the bed not lying. Later, she has her hands tied behind her back. She is gagged with a bandanna between the teeth, with packing. Her captor removes it at one point and reinstalls it later. What I've done is expand 3919 a bit and identify it as Eileen and added a new entry for the other one, going with Carolyn since that's the best information I have. |

I just like the titles/episode titles translated, 'cause that's the kind of hairpin I am. :) |
