Talk:Attack of the 50 Foot Woman

Trivia section ("In popular culture") is far too long

The trivia section ("In popular culture") is far too long; this entry is part of an encyclopedia, at the present it looks like a trivia game show. Half a dozen or ten examples would by far be sufficient.--Robert Kerber (talk) 17:18, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

Speculation on Works In Progress Is Not Warranted

While Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader might be a similar meme, writing such a long, and fetishistic description of the film -- which as of this writing has not been released --- is inappropriate. Even the 1993 remake did not merit such lengthy description. If you feel this project merits its own entry, please do so. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Haywire3000 (talk • contribs) 15:28, 1 March 2012 (UTC)

Warning on Unsubstantiated Facts

The user Fuzzk1 seems determined to post unsubstantiated rumor and speculation regarding a tangential film (Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader). Wikipedia's policy forbids unsubstantiated rumor or gossip. However, if you have substantive citations for any allegations, please cite them in the document; otherwise such comments will be deemed as malicious or nonsensical and will continue to be removed quickly. Further, posting plot summaries on a film that has not yet been released is speculative and is not permitted. Finally, personal insults and other comments regarding the featured actresses are not only irrelevant to the underlying articl, but border on the libelous. Again, if you feel the movie in question merits its own entry, then please create one. But stop vandalizing this page with vicious, poorly written screeds.Haywire3000 (talk) 01:44, 2 March 2012 (UTC)

Opening Discussion for Edits Regarding 50 Foot Cheerleader

The user Fuzzk1 continues to add extraneous material regarding Attack of the 50 Foot Cheerleader, despite repeated warnings about the tangential nature of the addition, the fetishistic level of detail (do we really need all the info about who gets picked up?) and unsubstantiated information (the user claims this information comes from Twitter feeds, which is not a citable resource).

Given the level of detail Fuzzk1 wants to include in his addition, the entry should likely go into its own page. Fuzzk1 should be enouraged to create a separate entry for this film. His continued posting and reposting is dangerously close to violating the 3RR policy. Haywire3000 (talk)

Sanatorium?

The line referring to the above in the second paragraph of the "Plot" section doesn't seem to make sense, especially in light of a "booby hatch" being mentioned later on. Sanatoria were virtually non-existent by the 1950s, and, from context, a mental hospital or rehabilitation clinic of some kind would make more sense. Is a place for recovery from tuberculosis or similar chronic illness really what is intended here (it's the only meaning of the word, per any dictionary I can find, and specifically what the article links to)?

'Sanatorium' is the word used in the film (for a mental institution). 'Booby hatch' is used in the film as a metaphor, and we'd do well to replace it, as it's a 60-year-old metaphor, and pretty opaque to modern readers. Renard Migrant (talk) 17:11, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

May be too minor to include in this article, but the poster is on the wall of Terri's apartment in Jumpin' Jack Flash (1986). Renard Migrant (talk) 16:31, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
