I was just wondering about backdrops, I want my XBMC to look the best it can, so I was wondering if when it comes to Movie backdrops its best to use one's with no words in?

Please tell me what would look better.
Speaking of backdrops, my IMDB scraper hasn't been able to auto-download backdrops for the last day or so. What website is used for getting these backdrops and is it down at the moment, or is it just me?

[edit] Turns out I was using a out of date version of XBMC (mediacenter can only run OpenGL builds), which was using themoviedb 2.0 API. Problem still unsolved. [/edit]
So what sort of backdrops do you use plain or ones with words in?
I tend to use plain ones, to avoid too much text on screen. That's only my opinion though.

Also: for people using older versions of XBMC and having trouble scraping movie backdrops, themoviedb.com API 2.0 is down at the moment but should be back up shortly.
