Revision as of 02:50, 26 July 2007

10,000 B.C. (film)

No, because the film's actual title is 10,000 B.C., they have just spelled it differently on there. Trust me, my uncle is best friends with a guy who worked on it, and he's always spelled it with the periods. -- SilvaStorm

Links to Movie Reviews

Erik...I recently received a Spam warning for posting an external link to a movie review on Hollywood Snitch. Also, my links are continually removed. I have been reviewing movies for over a year now and write for several publications. I am applying for the Chicago Film Critics Association this month and am registered with all the major studios and attend most previews. Hollywood Snitch is a professional web site and I do not SPAM all over Wikipedia. Hollywood Snitch has been around for more than a year and I have reviewed over 70 films. I notice that Rotten Tomatoes has a link and they are commercial. I feel that the reviews adding to the external links adds to the article by giving another view point. I read the External links rules section and they state that movie reviews should be considered. Please let me know your thoughts. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rilbiz (talkcontribs) 14:26, July 17, 2007 (UTC)

Halo Film

Since you did some of the editing on the halo film I figured you may want to add this cause nobody has yet and i dont feel like doing it. [1] — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.123.3.248 (talkcontribs) 16:11, July 17, 2007 (UTC)

AHM

Something I came up with talking to a friend. He's got the physical for it, lean, tall, blonde, and he's got the acting chops to handle it; it'd be like his Dead Zone character's perceptiveness without the psychic, and playing the suspicious of the crazy is osmething he's probably eager to try after playing 'the crazy' for a while. Glad you like the idea. I've imagined him testifying in the Dent case, consulting with the GCPD Chief about Batman, interviewing Gordon, coming face to face with Batman in Arkham, possibly as a subplot about recapturing the inmates let loose in Ra's release. he'd be great for commenting on the diametric oppposition of Joker and Bats, or on Harvey dent's shattered psyche.

Re:IMDb

LOL, I was just sitting there trying to figure it out too. Yeah. Wow, I haven't seen you in awhile, though I saw that you've been working hard on other articles.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 18:26, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

So you did. I wasn't watching LFoDH, I just happened to see Alien's edits to it and then I looked at the plot. It looks much better now. I'm actually trying to find a userbox that says something like "this user hates overly long plots...blah blah blah". Yeah, I finally got the first season of Smallville out the door and on the mainspace; Jason is done, and just waiting to hear back from an admin. I learned when I deleted my Smallville sandbox that I lost 400+ edits, so now I'm going to see if I can get an admin to simply merge the page histories and the content. I haven't found any new movie pages to work on. I'm trying to finish up all the sandbox projects I have first.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 18:34, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I see the bot visited you as well..lol. I think Alien jinxed me, lol. Oh well, hopefully I'll have the info merged in the next couple days by an admin. If not, then I'll copy and paste it all before that 7 days runs out.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 20:03, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I think we have enough evidence to show the lack of reliability with certain information. The current proposal for what to use isn't really that bad. I just think it needs clarification as to what is what, and when it can be used.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 02:21, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Transformers

Really? See, I never expected much in the way of storyline, at least not like Spider-Man 3. I knew it was going to be all about the bots, so I expected just lots of action. What made it enjoyable to me was Shia LeBeouff. He's just hilarious. I mean, there were so many moments when Bay could have been totally cliched. The moment at the end, when Mikaela comes up to Sam, when he has to get to the building. I totally expected one of those cliched "big kiss, I'm never going to see you again" moments, but it wasn't like that. It came across more like a "I have no problem sacraficing my life with yours" instead. Bumblebee? That is like the greatest character in the world. He beats out Optimus Prime any time. The interaction between him and Sam. I was amazed that a CGI robot could bring more emotion to the screen then some actors I've seen recently. To me, the movie wasn't designed for that "emotional element", like you got from Spider-Man 2. It was truly a popcorn movie, no strings attached. Sure, they could have gone the other way, but you have to look at your source material. It's a bunch of battling robots. Every time they see each other they do battle. They're more sophisticated than human technology, they are virtually indesctructable, and they know once they get the Allspark the entire planet will be filled with even more transforming robots. Why be discrete. If you come across your mortal enemy, it's throw-down time. I don't know. I would never expect to see The Dark Knight have nothing but tons of violence for no reason at all. That's because Batman's inner turmoil is what is entertaining. For Transformers, the most entertaining thing about them was going to be huge mechanical beasts bashing into buildings. As for the characters. I like to compare them to all the other counterparts in alien invasion films. They're different. Obviously not realistic, but they were (in my opinion) meant to be humorous, which is the point of the movie. It isn't supposed to touch you deeply, but get your adrenaline pumping. I really think it's how you look at the film's intentions. Is it trying to make cinematic master piece, or just make you forget you just spent 2 hours and 20 minutes in one seat, paid 10 bucks for a movie ticket and another 10 bucks on popcorn and soda? Spider-Man 2 is a great film, one of my all time favorites as far as being able to combine multiple elements of film, but I couldn't help but check my watch in that film. I never once thought about time in Transformers, because it's a different kind of movie.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 03:00, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Though, the one thing you could have definitely cut, the storyline of the soldier getting back to his wife and baby. It was barely touched on, and I didn't care about it the entire time.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 03:04, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I know what you mean. I think that's why they did the prequel comic books before hand, because at 2 hours and 20 minutes, this movie would have been awfully long if they were have elaborated more on the backstory. And I don't think a movie based solely in Cybertron would have been as entertaining,....eh, well it wouldn't have been as funny that's for sure, and if it gets too serious then it gets boring.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 03:28, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think some movies end up trying to use flash to cover bad stories, or bad actors, while others use it to just make everything that much better. If you watch some episodes of Smallville, the special effects are usually really good, but if Clark wasn't an alien and had no superpowers, and wasn't this grand hero...if you stripped the show of all that, it's still a very powerful drama. But other films end up drowning themselves in special effects and flash, when the films are equivalent to a shallow person. I think if you stripped Transformers down, it's pretty shallow, but for some reason the flash works in its benefit. Occasionally you just need that sugar rush.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 03:35, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't read it all. I got to "I'm a fan" and said "goodbye". Maybe I'll go back and read what he said.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 22:40, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The peer review is stagnant. Could you review it for me? Alientraveller 18:22, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re:Jason

That's fine. I thought it kind of already satisfied GA anyway, since GA doesn't say that it has to be "brilliant prose" or anything. Thanks for the nomination.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 13:31, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. That's such an iffy thing. I've found that character articles tend to be like Television episode articles. There are a lot of people who will fight tooth and nail to have a separate article for every character in a film or television show...or book for that matter. Personally, I think only the main characters usually end up warranting their own articles. I don't think Tommy Jarvis warrants an article on his own. Though, he appeared in 3 Friday the 13th films, there just isn't that much going on for him. He's hardly noted in popular culture. He isn't some iconic horror hero. I think one should apply the same notability criteria to characters as to others. I mean, Freddy Krueger is obviously going to need his own article, even if the page was a stub or simply a fictional biography. Even if no one asserted the notability of the character, no one could deny that it's there either. I saw your list of characters from Underworld. For the most part, I think all should start at that "List of characters" level. Selene, I can see her having her own article because really the movies revolve around her.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 15:52, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
She's fairly new, so there might not be enough. Worst comes to worst, I'd simply propose she get merged into a "List of" if someone comes by an removes the prod. I saw the article, it wasn't much more than a fictional character background.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 16:06, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Underworld

A fan by any chance? Alientraveller 14:57, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ah right, I've never seen them, as horror, or more specifically the modern gory kind, isn't my thing. I have seen the films of Stephen Sommers, which are a bit more cheeky, and Van Helsing has Kate Beckinsale in it, which left me confused initially. I didn't care for it: I liked the idea of combining all three monsters, but the plot was there to make poor action scenes. I may revisit it as an article, as it has a bit of an Ishtar reputation. Alientraveller 15:08, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think it wasn't so much the tone, because it's ok to make a romp, but it was just dissapointing. Van Helsing was really a Wolverine clone. I'm just waiting for Len Wiseman to sign on to make Wolverine because I want more of the X-Men film universe. Ditto with David Goyer and Magneto. I really do wonder if we're going overboard with franchise articles for the sake of unmade sequels, but according to WP:SS, in the early days Wikipedia should have developed franchise articles and then articles for each film. Alientraveller 15:19, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, if for example, Zack Snyder got run over, Watchmen wouldn't be so much a film article, but rather a superb article about the proposal to adapt Watchmen on film, and perhaps explore fans' view on adapting such a popular novel. Ditto with Indiana Jones 4. But some articles, like The Simpsons Movie, if that never got made, it'd be ok to just be in The Simpsons as developing an animated film is a bunch of discussions. Alientraveller 15:32, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This discussion is getting quite confusing, but speaking of Hugh Jackman, I think the Wolverine director is a really cool sounding choice. Alientraveller 11:15, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think you explained it very well. Alientraveller 11:45, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Alientraveller 15:20, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

V for Vendetta

Hey, I noticed you trimmed the plot section way back. Though I think you were correct in shortening the section I think you were maybe a bit too hasty in removing so much of it. Perhaps you could replace some of the more relevant info. Luke C 19:16, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Re: Choke (film)

Thanks for keeping me informed. It's too bad they couldn't get Fincher to come back; sorta strange he didn't take the project, don't you think? I mean, this could be a great film in the hands of the right person. I don't know enough about Gregg to comment on his directorial skills, but with Rockwell and Huston on board, this could be incredible. —Viriditas | Talk 20:12, 19 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Heh, now you've got me excited about this film. Stop that. :-) —Viriditas | Talk 02:12, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Just a quick update - the information, as well as the production schedule I posted on this site are correct - filming was done on my property, have the first two weeks of production notes (as well as individual scripts).

Valkyrie

Brevity may be important, but the article does't make clear why Germans are having problems with the idea of Cruise playing one of their national heroes: Cruise is a member of an organization considered by many Germans to be fascist in structure (which is why the Verfassungsschutz is keeping an eye on Scientology), but is now playing an officer fighting a fascist regime. I think it's worth making this clear! Thanks. - 84.152.218.89 20:57, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hey erik! how are you bud. i have some information on the superman returns sequel. how about me make a page about it. dont worry its not fake news! Lol.""""

Hmm good point Buddy. There was information on this site called Superfandom or something like that and i got some information there and also from imbd. Ah well at least we can look forward to Iron Man and The dark Knight. You looking foward to those films aswell?ian turner 20:44, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I Hope this is how you do it :L Yea i dont think iron man will be as good because..come on this is a guy who directed Elf! a comedy christmas film Lol. the dark knight will beat iron man hands on ian turner 21:11, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Rightly said there Bud! I Assume that incredible hulk isnt just a sequel but a remake aswell seing has it has a comepletly different cast. i think that the incredible hulk will be very impressive. Did you ever see the Fantastic four sequel? ian turner 21:26, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yea that film wasnt the best marvel film ive seen. Il have a look at it :D im a really big film adict. ian turner 21:30, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I should chip in that Rise of the Silver Surfer is a good film, but the first film is something I don't think you'd enjoy: there's not much plot. I'm really looking forward to all these '08 films, including the comic book adaptations Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, The Dark Knight and Watchmen, and I hope they are all good. Hulk is important to me too because I really want to see a film that will live up to my love of the character. Everything discusses so far thematically has ticked all my boxes.

New template

That looks excellent, but I also have no idea on how to create it though. If we did switch to this would we have to delete the old one and start replacing the image format with this one? If you or somebody can create it soon, I'll make sure I make mention of it in the monthly newsletter so that all members will be aware of its existence and hopefully begin using it. I won't be able to message you back if you respond for a couple hours as I'm heading out the door to go see a movie.

Cloverfield

I received a message from you to not make the talk page a discussion, I know that. Look I am here so I want people to stay informed on the Cloverfeild movie. But I was told that "I myself can not change the actual article" If I do it is going to be changed back. So what I find that is news I post in Talk Section then you guys determine it is fact or fiction. Its your guys fault for turing it into a discussion, I am just merely posting info which I think should go into the article. If You want me to F**k up the article tell me to and I will do it man(knowing idk wiki coding myself). Like I said I post info I find off the web and post what should go up on the Cloverfeild article so people would be informed about it.

Like the Los Angeles thing No one has posted anything about it in the actual Cloverfeild article. I have proven fact that the movie was also filmed there before the trailer even came out. But look, Los Angeles is not even mention in the Article which stills pisses me off. Also about the poster, Comic Con is coming in 3 days and the name of the movie is going to be announced then, I bet after the name is reviled you have to add to the article that the movie's name/poster was accidentally slipped onto the web before the event itself officially announcing the name(though you keep deleting the pics/links I posted just in case for reference). I seen articles on wiki that mentions these things that like Hostile 2....."Movie was leaked before it was released"

So Erik dude, I am not starting discussions in the talk sections but posting Facts (with links) that is not in the article itself that I want someone to maybe mention at least once. If it becomes a discussion, its the poster after me who posted fault NOT ME and If you want me to F**K up the article for my non-knowledge of making a wiki article, tell me and I will sure do so.

Thank You For Listening

Sorry to inform you Erik, but you're categorizing them incorrectly. For example, you changed Talk:The Fountain (film) to Media. But if you look in the category section at the bottom of the talk page, you'll find that the article is still uncatagorized, because that is not a valid category. For the correct category names, please see: WP:UCGA. In the meantime, I'm going to revert the edits.--Esprit15d (talk ¤ contribs) 13:33, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Eric - there is no media at all. You can only choose from the fields listed in that chart. Upon further examination, I did see that films belong under "Socsci", so I'll change the feilds to that name. The template works perfectly. But the only valid field names are the ones in that chart. You might be confused because the GA article tag at the top of the page said "good Media article", but the template just adds whatever you type in the box - but unless you use one of the proper category tags, it will remained uncatagorized.--Esprit15d (talk ¤ contribs) 13:38, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I have no opinion on the current templates, but I definitely think they need tweaking; especially since some of the topic names sound stupid in the GA promotion box (a good Socsci article?) I would (as you already have) take it up at the project page. But in the meantime, the whole point of the project is the subcategorize the good articles, so, until some of those other issues get tweaked, it only makes sense to use topic names that actually exist.--Esprit15d (talk ¤ contribs) 13:47, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Could look at the big discussion over at Freddy's Nightmares. Someone is claiming that the series (in it's entirety, which has never been done before) is released on DVD. It looks more like it's a bootleg. Amazon doesn't list the series, only these secondary "TV shows on DVD" kind of places. I can't find a releasing house for the DVD either. I'm not sure how or if the information should be included if it's nothing more than bootleg DVDs.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 14:20, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question

So if I cite the official magazine or internet article about this...it doens't become Original research does it?

Cause I didn't put any "theory" or anything on there...I was merely talking about the connections between slusho and cloverfield and how someone working with the project confirmed it...

After saying that I also put some basic facts about Slusho, like it is a drink in JJ Abrams Alias...and is a japanese drink --Huper Phuff talk 00:25, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Kirk Montgomery, a reporter at an NBC news affiliate in Colorado, has reported an inside source's claim that the Slusho website "has lots of clues", though this has not been officially confirmed as a marketing campaign website.[4]

That line is already in the article...isn't that speculation. Plus there is a part in the movie where Slusho is included, which makes it relevant...and I didn't come up with any of this on my own. I saw it somewhere else and figured it should be documented since it is a part of the story that is obviously tied to the project. I didn't say what it was or is...

I just said Slusho is seen in the trailer and JJ Abrams has previous ties with it...IE Alias

And another thing...much of the information could very well be false...just because a reporter reported it doesn't make it fact. All Paramount has said is they are making a movie, and JJ Abrams is producing it.

"Cloverfield" is speculation...that project name hasn't even been confirmed... --Huper Phuff talk 00:31, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]


No no no, that's my point. None of it came from me. Some of it came from imdb.com.

And the rest from an article.

All I'm saying is if you're calling "slusho" unconfirmed evidence, then so should this whole article. Cause "Cloverfield" hasn't been confirmed either...the only real name you can call this thing and be 100% correct, is 1-18-08
If you want me to cite it all, just say that...don't go off on this whole thing about speculation, cause I've been trying to tell you I didn't make any of this up and it's all published in an article by a news website, trailerspy.com --Huper Phuff talk 00:36, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]



You must know, like I do, that imdb.com publishes only information that it can verify too. They don't publish actors that are possibilities, they wait until the actor has been publicly announced. So you can't deny that imdb.com is a prominent reliable source. I can understand trailerspy.com, so I can remove the info I gained from that article if you would like. But there is an obvious connection between the project and the word "slusho" which is outlined by imdb.com at this page: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1060277/trivia. So can I atleast post the stuff by imdb.com? --Huper Phuff talk 00:44, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]



Alright, fine. I just think you're being a bit anal when it's something that is clearly visible and justifiable by just looking at the trailer. There was no speculation is was just the connection that was previously outlined in the article and its appearance in the trailer. --Huper Phuff talk 00:52, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]


Sorry if I'm coming off as another noob, or w/e. I added 2 sentence to the previous section that I feel isn't speculation, just stating the facts:

A person can be seen wearing a Slusho t-shirt in the movie trailer. It's visible when he leans toward the camera to ask if anything can be seen from the roof after watching the news broadcast (see right).

I couldn't find a way to link to the image with text, like "seen here" as a link to the image. If you can help me out with that then go ahead and remove the thumbnail I put there for a visual aid.
