No... there is no way to get this one correct per invelos rules... as the rules say exactly per front cover and since there is no X's on the back cover it is not correct per invelos' rules.

You could always replace the X's with ¦'s.

EDIT: The full block character displayed fine in the preview but was replaced by the above.  Try character U+2588.

Personally I think the Xs look awful, so if I owned this DVD, I would probably change them to "[redacted]" or something similar, but I doubt that's appropriate for the online.

I don't know if it is the next best option as dashes would make it easier to read and have the same effect.

Quoting Kathy:

Quote:

I would not use Xs. Dashes not only make the Overview easier to read, they actually are more accurate than X's in representing a black line.

I like what MadMartian and Kathy said...  use Dashes to represent the black lines, like this:

Quote:
Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl is the horrifying story of two classic monsters re-imagined as super hot - and extremely lethal - Japanese school girls. The opening montage of blood-caked --------------------------------------------- ------------------ sends audiences stumbling towards the emergency exits with one hand over their eyes and the other clamped tightly over their mouths. Mad scientist principals, ----------------------- ------ -----, psychedelic blood-filled chocolates, -----, sex-crazed psychotic school nurses, -------, ethically questionable afterschool activities, -------------------------------------------------------ed -----------------, and a ---------------- sumo wrestler from hell are just a few of the atrocities you'll be treated to upon a viewing of this ------- cinematic offering. Oh yeah, there's also a gruesome ------g helicopter constructed out of bloody -------- human ------- limbs-if you're into sick ---------------------- like that.

I am thinking the dashes looks a lot better myself... and is probably the closest we can get to what is actually on the cover.

I totally disagree with that. The problem is not to "look better", but to represent the most exactly possible the overview. Here, we have existing letters that have been masked. X is the best to represent that, dashes having a totally different meaning.

Dashes

Dashes, like commas, semicolons, colons, ellipses, and parentheses, indicate added emphasis, an interruption, or an abrupt change of thought. Experienced writers know that these marks are not interchangeable. Note how dashes subtly change the tone of the following sentences:

Examples:
You are the friend, the only friend, who offered to help me.
You are the friend—the only friend—who offered to help me.
I pay the bills; she has all the fun.
I pay the bills—she has all the fun.
I wish you would…oh, never mind.
I wish you would—oh, never mind.

Rule 1. Words and phrases between dashes are not generally part of the subject.

Example: Joe—and his trusty mutt—was always welcome.

Rule 2. Dashes replace otherwise mandatory punctuation, such as the commas after Iowa and 2013 in the following examples:

Without dash: The man from Ames, Iowa, arrived.

With dash: The man—he was from Ames, Iowa—arrived.

Without dash: The May 1, 2013, edition of the Ames Sentinel arrived in June.

With dash: The Ames Sentinel—dated May 1, 2013—arrived in June.

Rule 3. Some writers and publishers prefer spaces around dashes.

Example: Joe — and his trusty mutt — was always welcome.
