Missing images for certain Russian movies

[GoogleCodeExporter]

- Both files Обитаемый.остров.2008.avi (tt0972558) and 
Обитаемый.остров.Схватка.2009.avi (tt1399952) - a box-set 
of 2 movies - get correct Russian info (no problems with it) but never get any 
images despite the fact that IMDB, themoviedb.org and Kinopoisk have them. In 
r1426 they get correct images (posters and fanart).

In the case of  Обитаемый.остров.2008.avi (tt0972558) there was 
a bad image url returned by themoviedb

<image type="poster" 
url="http://hwcdn.themoviedb.org/posters/131/4bc94dc8017a3c57fe022131/16911-mid.
jpg" size="mid" width="500" height="767" id="4bc94dc8017a3c57fe022131"/>

XML is below. Note the user interface does not show this image:
http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/16911/posters

So this is really a themoviedb error. 

For Russian Locale it did find http://kinopoisk.ru//images/film/257774.jpg in 
my tests.
I'll check the other movie now but this may just be an issue with themoviedb.

Also same thing for http://www.themoviedb.org/movie/18122/posters

Again kinopoisk image retrieved ok in latest alpha.

Could be a LOW priority change to oversight code to get all possible images in 
priority order, and try to process each in turn, but this may be a lot of 
effort for a small problem , that is someone elses problem really?
I'll close for now - if it becomes an issue it should get re-opened again.
