Look in the script for "sub getMovieList" and add some code after the  
"query =" assignment. Duplicating the first "if rindex" block will  
remove the Italian translation if it's present. To get rid of  
embedded text like dvdrip or cdNN you could add lines like:

	$query =~ s/dvdrip//;
	$query =~ s/cd[[:digit:]]+//;
