Bug Description

Hi,

GCstar is currently using perl scripts to fetch data (and parse it) from websites.
Those perl scripts use regular expressions to parse html data and insert it in the gcstar collection.
So, when some website changes there layout, that might break the parser.

That is exactly what happened a few days ago with the allocine.fr parser.
A fix has already been commited to svn so, in order to make the ubuntu version of gcstar working again, we should just make an update with the following file [0].

I have tested this file with GCstar under Intrepid and it works perfectly so it would be great if you could make an update with that file.

Regards,
