themoviedb.org (TMDb) site needs Movie FanArt for...

At the risk of sounding like a dick......Most films that are more than 15 years old, don't have Hi-Res Images to scale down.....therefore, we do what we can. If you can find a Hi-Res image for EVERY movie EVER made, let me know where to look.......I'll start using those. Till then I'll still keep trying to provide images for those who can't make their own stuff.

We Good?

Of course we are "good." It is just fanart after all That being said, we have had this discussion before on themoviedb forums.

Travis never actually gave a definitive answer but it looks like "bad" fanart will be reported and removed. All I am saying is that it is better to put up nothing at all than something pixelated that you will then have to go through and remove if it is automatically downloaded. As CRN mentioned in the thread, all htpc programs have a background that they will show if there is no fanart available and unless you are using a horrible skin that background will look better than a pixelated and out of aspect fanart image.

As for movies that have little or no high quality images. If you really like the movie, take the time to make a "custom" fanart. You can work wonders with multiple small images and not have to stretch them. If you don't like the movie enough to put in that kind of time, then don't worry about it Also, as I have seen on R1DB.com you can scan the DVD cover of a movie at very high quality and make some pretty great fanart from that. This is also helpful for those hard to find movies. Just my thoughts on it. Cheers.

The problem with "only good fanart" is peoples subject opinion of "good" or not "bad". There are some easy ones and then there is the grey area where it may look good on a 720p with a semi-small screen and horrible on a 1080p large screen...

I know my tastes are less strict then CRN's.

If someone is uploading art chances are they are using it, so in their mind the art is acceptable...

I think reporting poor art once a better quality one has been uploaded is ok, but trying to remove "bad" art when there are no other options is a waste of time.

We all have to edit/update our movie/info/art etc when we add movies. Each one of us have different preferences as to fanart, posters, titles, overview etc. I personally am pretty anal about info when I add new movies. I hand select my fanart, poster and info just to make sure it is what I want. This gives me control of my info/system. If someone is particular like me, they should be doing the same, cause plenty of people are not and are happy with default info, first fanart available etc.


Oh Rand thanks for the link to R1DB.com... we need more of those it had some better sources for a few of my fanart's that I know are "bad". So I will be able to improve to a somewhat acceptable level.

Thanks, but they can't be d/l'ed because you're out of bandwidth.

Oh, crap..

I'd realized that was on %100 monthly bandwidth, but after logging out, it would let me download the pics..seems a bit crappy that then

I would've upped them to themoviebd, but it doesn't give you any named credit and I'm a bit arsey about that

Will sort something out.

Anyone got:

Shoalin Soccer
Sympathy For Lady Vengeance

Traitor Anyone?

I'm uploading the best of mine at themoviedb (172 pics)

Started with those two Fridays and Lady Vengeance. Hope yer like.
