Talk:The MySpace Movie

Latest comment: 15 years ago by Piquan in topic Publicity is a mess

reactions section edit

this page hasn't been deleted yet?

This sounds suspiciously like an ad placement:

"It also inspired other Myspace parody videos, including a dark comedy short film titled Identity Theft in 2006, written and directed by Mike McAllister for Twitch Productions," there is also a link to 'twitch productions' (I love these lame one-word production company names).

My question is: what does this have to do w/ the article? I'm going to removethis line, because it seems to me like that was added by this Mike McAllister kid to promote his movie on a more popular movie's page.

importance edit

Current Debate: This article lacks importance.
Author Edit: "This article's importance is set to demonstrate the phenomenon of MySpace and how its creation induced publicity of the site itself."

This needs a a spell check run on it. Some improvements in its grammer woudl be appropriate, too.

AUTHOR EDIT: "Spell check is fine. You should watch your spelling yourself!"

Performed necessary grammatical and orthographical cleanup. Added categories. --Polylerus 20:08, 1 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

–I think it's important enough, I mean, I'd seen the movie before this article, and before I even got Myspace. It represents the impact and stereotypes of Myspace. However, if you really are determined on deleting it, how about merging with the Myspace article? Srxcef 11:16, 3 September 2006 (UTC)Reply

What? edit

The purpose of these stories is not to criticize MySpace, but to demonstrate its role in daily adolescent life.

You are kidding, right? I thought it was plainly obvious to anyone who watched it that the film is a complete parody/pastiche of myspace and the associated culture. Removing. --^pirate 21:49, 5 April 2006 (UTC)Reply
Ok, I've rewritten Most of it.
However, in the eyes of many it is an extremely respected production company, most of whom believe that its unofficial status is irrelevant.
This really is pure conjecture and had to go.
Ok, I'm done. I suggest splitting the article up (ie. making articles out of David Lehre productions & Vendetta Films) if and when they ever release anything else of note. --^pirate 22:31, 5 April 2006 (UTC)Reply

Quotation marks edit

Why are some but not all chapter titles in quotations? I've removed them, for uniformity, since it appears they're unjustified; I may be wrong. FAL 06:07, 11 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

Fair use rationale for Image:Myspacemoviewebad.jpg edit

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.

Publicity is a mess edit

In September, the "Publicity" section underwent a major edit by an anon. It has earmarks of somebody trying to push their point of view using WP; in particular, there's the note that "(If eggtea could link to the email from his inbox then it would be here as a reference.)". (The entire section is about a user eggtea has been stripped of his due.) It looks like this section was written by eggtea himself. It's full of citations pointing back to this same article; the only citation that doesn't is when he cites the Google purchase date. I'm all in favor of reverting that section to its pre-September mode, but since it's been in the article so long I wanted to make sure I'm not missing something. -- Piquan (talk) 11:51, 3 December 2008 (UTC)Reply
