Will you read the credits at the end of the program?

Hello Wow that is unfair you cannot use mylot it but I understand wanting to know who plays in the movies you watch, I like youtube for this reason as well, youtube is a good place to look back at all the things you like to watch maybe you should try that. Thank you, good luck, let me know how it works out for you.

Maybe they will sort it out eventually. It isn't so bad as there are lots of other search engines to choose from.

Oh I see you mean search for it in the mylot search box! Unfortunately the search facility doesn't seem to work for us in the UK so I would have to 'something else search' it :P. We do have imdb though which is a very handy thing for people like me who can't keep still till I find out who everyone is .

Hahahaha. But Monsters Inc's ending credit was funny. LOL.

I like when they put the mistakes at the end of films all except those 3d animations where they make up mistakes and they aren't funny at all. Some of the credits have some interesting backgrounds. I think Lord of the rings did.

It is quite disappointing if they are distorted or too small isn't it? I'm sure the people who's names are being listed wish they were left in a readable state too.

Sometimes I have watched all through a film and I am thinking ,what was that character called? LOL Then I watch it to find that out. Yesterday we watched a TV series and I realised the person I had thought was called Billy all through the episode,was actually named Mickey. Hehe I have only seen that same character for about 12 other episodes and all that time in my mind he was Billy.

LOL well I don't think I am obsessed but I do wonder what percentage of people really do read them.

Yes you like to see the clips that they play while the credits are being listed, me too. I think those are worth watching out for and sometimes there is no warning that they are coming.

I think BY LAW they have to show them but there is nothing written about HOW they need to be shown. Too bad for the camera guys and the grips, etc., who will never really see their name on the screen.

I cant think that the program and film makers are pleased that all the names are unreadable but its all about time and money these days . The more adverts they can squash in,the less time they have to talk between shows and so they overlap everything.

Makes a bit of a mockery of it . The people who would really care are the ones who used to get work because their names were shown after the film. Imagine,your looking for an animation company and you see a really good film with just the right thing and you cant read the tiny little words in the left hand corner so you go a different route and hire someone else instead.

btw, you can always know whether the movie is meant for tv or for the big screen. if there are a lot of close ups then it is primarily made for tv home viewing but there are a lot of panoramic shots then obviously, it is meant for the big screen theaters.

I think that is why they centralize the lettering, so that even on a home screen you can read them. We have a huge screen at home as my husband was given a 50 inch monitor when work were doing a refit so it can be in wide screen or cinema view but even on the ordinary sized TV we had before, it was almost always possible to see them.

LOL I don't really look at the actors in a worshipful way,its more a challenge to remember their names ,game with me. I like some of the names that come up for things like lead grip,second grip hehe. My mum once said there is always a fictitious name in there somewhere. I only watch for the main actors and sometimes the date . There was a man with the same name as my dad who would have is name appear on the credits a lot and we always called out Dad you are on the telly again when we saw it. We don't watch all those awful Oscar ceremonies. My mum used to but I don't know why,they usually blither on about people you have never heard of and probably never will ,it seems a very odd thing to televise, a bit like televising the local pigeon fanciers club prize giving .

the best boy is the chief electricians assistant and the gaffer is the chief electrician.

Thanks Iridium. Why don't they call them those titles then instead?

I didn't know that. The things I saw on Spielberg's cast list, like on Tiny Toons or Freakazoid, were obvious ones. This wasn't one of them, but it's similar brand of humor, like "Stinky Smellsalot". Obvious goofies. I haven't seen Mel Brooks in some time, but I think his were also obvious.

My mother used to act on stage and said that there was always some fictitious name in the program listing (printed on paper in those days) and that they carried it on into TV listings so somewhere you might find a completely bogus profession or joke name. I have never come across anything that obviously is but I expect if you work in the industry you would know. A sort of in joke I suppose.

I like the know the music too. If you wait long enough,they put the name of the music and the artist up but it is sometimes a very long wait.

Yes, especially if love story, there are a lot of nice pieces that I would want to know if there is a soundtrack available.

yes the theme songs are sometimes the best music of the whole film aren't they?

Well you never know. We used to know an actor quite a long time ago and I would always look our for his name in films he was in even though we knew it was him anyway.

I do that quite a lot. There are so many actors that people who act can easily have doubles. One of the carpenters at work used to make props for film and he had even been roped in as a double a few times. I expect if I looked on the films he was working on ,there he would be as MR so and so's double.

My son had a collection of DVD's for a series called serenity and there was a girl on there that he liked. Then when the Sarah Connor chronicles came on TV,there she was. He knew her name because he made a point of looking it up on his DVD's. He said that the serenity series was axed which was a shame because they are very original but at least he saw his beloved in something else and could name her LOL.

I usually recognise tunes from films but I hardly ever knw what they are called. Even things like bond films, I think of the song as the same name as the film.

i meant to add... what does annoy me it those special effects films that are all effects and nothing special where you get 6 screens of computer programers

yes I like the outtakes on Jackie Chan films and they are late on in the film credits. I generally am quite interested in the especial effects companies but I can hardly recall any .

we sometimes debate the year of the film or TV series and it is a long wait to reach the very last page of the credits when the year is displayed. It can be very surprising if it is earlier or later than you imagined though.

Its so frustrating when they are too fast. I suppose they are sped up to fit the TV slot.

I find it quite disappointing when they have cut the credits off. All that time thinking ,I will find out the name of that actor at the end and then there is no chance to do so after all.
