I've found that sometimes overviews are submitted for pre-release profiles & then forgotten about for some time. I'd guess that this is probably due to the field not being empty so it can easily be skipped over when looking for missing areas.

I usually go to the distributors web site, they usually have a synopsis.

This thread should not answer that question as a self written one is only allowed when there isn't one on the DVD case.  If there is an overview on the case, that is what should be used.

As forget stated, there are reasons why this could happen.
No dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned population by force of arms forever.
There is no greater power in the universe than the need for freedom.
Against this power, governments and tyrants and armies cannot stand.

Again you show that you believe that you are the only ione with the ability to define CORRECT.


Please, can you play a game with your own friends, or just ask people in the road :
Ask them "Are typos correct, and is it better to keep them in a text ?" Then give here the result of this little poll...

It's data sir, you are not qualified to determine what is or ios not a typo. Take your little game and go home, your incessant carping that only you have the answers does not serve you or Profiler well. All you do is waste everybody's time.You want to do whatever you want to locally, no one will say you nay, but it stays LOCAL.  I don't know which is wors Yourinability to comprehend simple concepts, or your breathtaking ego.

Are we supposed to bow in your presence.

I'll try to draw it for you: This may explain why I see this happen so often. I'm not saying it should happen, only confirming that it does.

I am not saying that it doesn't happen, only that this shouldn't be the reason it does.  The more likely reason is one that forget mentioned.  Another would be that people just don't care and don't follow the rules.

Maybe it's your locality, but I don't think I have ever seen a self-written overview used when there is one on the case.  Pre-release, yes.  Otherwise, no.

Not to put blame on any particular contributer, but this is the latest DVD I found this on: EAN : 7036988026117. Not sure how long this will stay as I've submitted an updated profile.

I was mostly joking, when I made the first remark. However I think it's possible that some contributers haven't read the updated rules, and are doing as they always have done.
