guys and gals

as I have posted Iam starting reviewing soon.
I have nearly constructed a html template Iam happy with.

when does the cast list, and starring list, appear, I did a preview review and It said "will appear here" how!!!
does it know the female male actresses already, I know a lot of the reviews have a cast list, and how do you get the boxcover picture into your review, I had a look at the source html code in peoples reviews but can't find what I need to know.

any advice as always greatly received.


do not meddle in the affairs of dragons for you are crunchy and taste good with ketchup

All that's taken care of for you. Typically it's already been entered as part of the price search data. If not, Steph adds it as soon as she approves your review. Sometimes there's a slight delay if you're reviewing a brand-new screener that the affiliates haven't yet stocked.

Incidentally, the reason I include a cast list in the body of my reviews is to confirm that the information in the data base is correct. The performers in the data base are listed in alphabetical order, whereas I prefer to list them according to how many scenes (or how big a role) they've played in the movie (ladies first, of course). I give aliases as well (if I know them), and I identify which performers (if any) have non-sex roles. It's not necessary that you do this; it's just something I enjoy doing in the interest of accuracy.

As YogaGrrl said, all the information above the yellow bar, which for my reviews says Reviewed by Flash 1/9/2003, is done by the style sheets that ADT uses at the current time. All the information below that bar, for example on my reviews the larger bar of the same color that gives the title name and A disc review by Flash, are provided by the reviewer. I also list the cast in the body of my review for accuracy so the reader can confirm what ADT has. I do my cast listings by credit order from the opening credits for the film if it has any, if not from the end credits. I then add cast from the end credits, not listed in the opening credits, that I have heard of and then try to verify all are the correct names, which is a time consuming process that I am slowly getting better at. For instance, if you look at my first review for Debbie Does Dallas, Herschel Savage isn't listed in my review since back then I didn't know that he also went by the name Bill Barry. Whenever a name in the credits doesn't match what I believe the correct name to be, I list the name used in parenthesis with an as, Herschel Savage (as Bill Barry). I don't always correctly identify who is really who especially on the euro cast as I use Sbando's site for id's only. I don't mark who is sexual and non-sexual in the cast listing I give, as sometimes I don't know, especially in cases of the older films I watch where it is hard enough to verify the correct name of the performer, let alone what she looks like. This is just what I personally do and is in no way a requirement.

As you write reviews, you'll find what works for you and what doesn't and you're reviews will change accordingly. I shudder when I look at my original reviews at how bad they are but I'll probably never get around to re-writing them.

Just remember, have fun with it!
