SL Encyclopedia

[marmota-b]

Well, an encyclopedia, to my way of understanding, doesn't concern itself over spoilers, but with covering topics as completely as possible in a limited amount of space. It has a very different function than the back of a DVD case, which is supposed to tease the interest of the viewer without giving away too much of the plot.

Yeah, I know. Sorry, yesterday I was a bit harsh on it. Maybe you could put there "Contains spoilers", just so everyone would know.

You mean at the very front of the encyclopedia? Okay, I could do that.

Yeah, at the begining. Thanks.

Added entry for Giancarlo Santi.

What's up with this thread? Why is it not sticky? Or are we waiting for it to become as complete as possible? To say the truth, newbies and visitors will find this thread only by accident, and what's the use then?

Added the following entry:

Lardani, Eugenio(aka Luigi Lardani, Iginio Lardani). Mysterious title designer and animator who worked on the Dollars pictures and a few other SWs, including Face to Face, Tepepa, and Run, Man, Run. Frayling mistakenly gives his last name as "Lardini."

EDIT: entry modified to read:
Lardani, Iginio ("Gigi")(aka Luigi Lardani, Eugenio Lardani). Mysterious title designer and animator who worked on the Dollars pictures and a few other SWs, including Face to Face, Tepepa, and Run, Man, Run. Title design was something of a sideline, however; he worked steadily as an editor of Italian trailers up until his death in 1986. Frayling mistakenly gives his last name as "Lardini."

That's right, I forgot it existed!

Yes it should be a sticky 

[dave jenkins]

Evidently, this is now a sticky, so I guess the poll did its job. I did not instigate the poll, but I thank everyone who voted. Now the fun can begin in earnest. I welcome comments, suggestions, and, even better, whole entries that I can paste in without revising. Please apply to your area of interest/expertise (CJ, I've cleared space for an entry on "Guns." Anything you can provide for that topic, under, let's say, a 300-word limit?).

Ah, great. Pity that I don't have much knowledge to contribute. Unless you were interested in historical costumes, than maybe... but it isn't specifically SL.

[dave jenkins]

How about something along the lines of "Sergio Leone and the Prague Spring"?

I'd have to know more about it. I don't.

[dave jenkins]

It was a joke (although, you never know, maybe it could really come off . . .)

I know. That's why I used the smiley.

[dave jenkins]

OK, but you used the roll-the-eyes smiley, which was kinda ambiguous in context.
