Comment (by visit0r):

 I had a boring Sunday, and improved the scripts a bit further.

 Major addition is a new poster grabber script (fetch_poster.py) which
 grabs posters from movieposter.com. These poster images seem to be much
 better quality (larger images) than those from IMDb. However, the script
 has a fallback to the IMDb fetching if MoviePoster does not have the
 poster.

 The script uses Python Imaging Library to figure out the image sizes of
 the poster image candidates and chooses the one which is largest (and
 vertical).

 In addition, several fixes here and there. For example, merged the patch
 in ticket #3123. So Anduin, if you apply this, you can close that ticket
 also. I think this is the last update to these scripts for a while unless
 bugs are found.
