Valkyrie

Yeah, I keep wondering what to put in about the reaction to the trailer and the release date move every time I get yet another Google news alert about the damn thing. I think what's stopped me so far has been that the coverage has almost entirely been driven by that idiot from Fox; people are commenting on his commenting on the film's trailer! One story in the UK I saw read, "...and already it has been panned by critics who have had a sneak peek at the film..." with this guy as their "source". People are just desperately trying to clamber onto the "let's beat on Tom Cruise" bandwagon any way they can. Anyway, I'm done ranting. Crappy journalism is one of my pet hates. Have a good one, Steve ^{T • C} 19:45, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Are the image warnings bothering you?

Because if they are you could try the nobot template. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 20:41, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

Step Up to the Plate

The article Step Up to the Plate, which you proposed for deletion, claims it is set for a July 2007 release date. That was almost a year ago. So this is obviously not a future film any more, either it was already released or it never was. JIP | Talk 04:45, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

G.I. Joe film

Hi, That site I put in the article has all the cast promo pictures that are scattered around, hard to find and/or removed on other sites. If I cant link to the pictures, should I upload them all to the article or something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gijoelover (talk • contribs) 19:49, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

The Informant (2009 true story film)

I brought the film back. The filming started a week ago on this film. Any suggestions? ReadQT (talk) 16:56, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks Erik for you help.ReadQT (talk) 17:03, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

The actual script has been circulating around Decatur where the filming is taking place, and this synopsis summarizes the script for the film more than the book. ReadQT (talk) 17:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

Iron Man

Have you been able to see it yet?  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 02:13, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw it this evening. It was really good. Downey was perfect. I thought Paltrow kind of became almost a mannequinn in the final 15 minutes, but other than that it was good. It certainly did justice to the character, is is one of the better comic book films out there. I still haven't found a comic book film that could excite me all the way through like Spider-Man 2 (which, to me, is the best comic book film out there). My edit count has been down too. It's going to really be down this summer, as I have an internship plus my regular job (70+ hours a week of work). Where in Florida are you going to be?

Congratulations on graduating, that's the plan for me in August.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 02:32, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I don't think there will be any comparison, because the tone is so different for each film. Another thing that didn't help the film was the music. I think that that really kept me from loving the film; the score just wasn't up to what I expect. Scores make or break a film, and this score didn't break the film, but it certainly didn't help it. Then again, few composers can compete with Danny Elfman, John Williams, James Newton Howard and other top composers. The SFX were really good, and I loved watching Stark create the Iron Man suit (from Mark I to III).

Too quick? It was a 2 hour movie. I guess the final act could have been a bit longer. As far as supporting characters go, Terence Howard was pretty good. I thought he sounded a bit "whiny" in his voice in some instances, but overall I liked him as Jim Rhodes. I thought, for the most part, Paltrow, Downey, Howard and Bridges all had really good chemistry together.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 03:44, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

So, hot or not? And are you enjoying Potter? Alientraveller (talk) 11:33, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I thought the monologue was an interest way to do a backstory, while allowing for more focused energy on the "here and now" of the character. Oh yeah, the wit in that movie was pretty awesome. The Funvee line was great. I love the exchange between Rhodes and Stark when Start is on his away out of Afghan. "What's that noise? -- Oh, I'm riding with the top down." Jarvis was great. I really liked how they showed Stark developing the suit. I thought Nolan did an excellent job with Batman, but Stark's was even better. Villains usually suck in the first movies anyway (with some exceptions) because you're typically focused on the hero the whole time, so I give slack in those cases.

Yeah, the Avengers. I don't know if audiences want a period piece with their superheroes. If you look at the films that have done well and were set in a specific period other than modern times (300, V for Vendetta - the latter obviously a futuristic period) they are usually commercially successful because of the visual style. I don't see CA being that visually stunning, and watching WWII movies rarely gain commercial success. But, you really can't have the Red Skull without the Nazis, and they wouldn't be relevant today. I think it would be hard to do, unless you changed the supersoldier serum to reduce the aging effects, thus allowing his character to live 60 years and maybe only age 10.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 17:51, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I must say it is a damn good movie. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 18:57, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Would you object if I nominated you to be an Admin? SilkTork *^YES! 19:12, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm off to Prague for a long weekend - doing the marathon there, plus drinking lots of black lager - so I won't be back online until Wednesday. Gives you plenty of time to think about it. Refards 19:14, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

That's cool. SilkTork *^YES! 20:14, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

need advice...

Hi Erik,

I wonder if I could ask for your thoughts on this article, 1984 (television commercial). While technically a commercial, it is a work by Ridley Scott and the subject of study by scholars. I am thus treating it as a film article. Sources are needed and I am going to reformat it according to Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines at some point. However, I am wondering about one section called "dialogue" which offers the entire spoken text of the ad. This seems to me potentially a Wikipedia:Copyrights problem though I wanted to run this by you since you are more experienced with these issues. I am wondering if the entire section (particularly the second part which isn't sourced) should just be removed. When you have a chance, please take a look. Thanks and hope all is well, -Classicfilms (talk) 18:19, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you so much Erik. This was very helpful. You can see how I approached this issue here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:1984_%28television_commercial%29

Let me know if you have any other suggestions for this article as well. Thanks again, -Classicfilms (talk) 15:44, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Question

Is there anyway that I can get some feedback, concerning a Batman fellow? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 02:57, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, does this lead work for the article? --  ThinkBlue  (Hit BLUE) 19:38, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Twilight (2008 film)

Hi Erik, I have a favour to ask. Unless I'm going crazy, the image on the Twilight film page is now showing up as the book jacket cover (the arms holding the apple) instead of the promotional movie poster. The correct image is seen here, but it shows up incorrectly in the article. Do you know how to fix this? Thank you. Andrea (talk) 02:13, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Everything seems to be fixed now. Thanks for your help! Andrea (talk) 00:00, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Your input requested regarding reliable sources

Any insights you might offer to this discussion would be helpful and appreciated.  : ) --MPerel 03:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

Question about the number of images now being removed

Is there some reason why a number of previously acceptable images are now being challenged and removed? Please see: <Image:Ashanti.jpg> which I had put up on a sandbox page temporarily and was used by User:Limetolime for the article he was working on, The Muppets' Wizard of Oz‎. Another editor has challenged its status (but has not given a reason) while the other challenges and deletions seem to be coming from bots and admins. Whazzup? FWiW Bzuk (talk) 12:20, 12 May 2008 (UTC).

Erik, I agree that non-free images can be questionable, but that is not what is going on here. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 04:21, 13 May 2008 (UTC).

Re: Miscellaneous

I like the Harry Potter films (although it says something I chose to wait for a box set of all eight films, in contrast to me buying the extended editions of Rings and Narnia). Ah, memories, I absorbed the first four books quite quickly (and in the wrong order I might add). Glad you enjoyed Iron Man, and hopefully you'll be back regularly in no time.

By the way, check out the mini-movies here. Love Lego parodies. Alientraveller (talk) 08:55, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

I enjoyed Iron Man, it was well done and I look forward to the sequels (always have, Iron Monger's just not as cool as alcoholism, War Machine and Mandarin). Easily the best Marvel movie since X2 and Pepper's a very useful sidekick even in battle.

Indy fever's high for me certainly, I got a GAC on Indiana Jones comic books and also rewrote Sallah. What did you think the fourth film was going to be about? As you can tell from my userpage, I found ancient astronauts and crystal skulls to be a stroke of genius. Alientraveller (talk) 16:40, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Blimey, you finished them all. So who is your favourite character? Mine's still Hagrid. And I never would have I believed Snape would turn out to be such a likeable character. Alientraveller (talk) 11:58, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

What series would that be? Alientraveller (talk) 18:46, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Mulholland Dr

Hello again! I would like to thank you once more for your assistance and support in writing this article, and I'd like to let you know that I nominated it for Featured Article. If you haven't read it in a while, please do so. I would also appreciate your comments in the FAC process. You can find the nomination here. Thanks again. --Moni3 (talk) 13:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Review Fires on the Plain

Could you review Fires on the Plain (film)? This is not a review for B class, I'd just like an opinion about it. Me and Dekkapai have worked on it quite a bit. It would be appreciated if you could get to this quickly. Oh, and if you could give me an opinion on my new section in WP:film talk page "Saving Private Ryan - Sniper issue" that would be appreciated as well. I will ask other editors about this as well. Happy editing! Yojimbo501 (talk) 01:40, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Remove link from blacklist

Hi Eric, I've asked about this before and it is still there, you have my site listed on your black list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Erik/Linkspam_blacklist. I have not tried adding my site, which is a useful film fan site to wikipedia for ages because you kept removing the links, and life is too short etc. But you have it on your black list. I'm not bothered that it's there except for the fact that is appears on google listing. Please remove the link, and also an explanation of why it's there would be useful. I have tried removing it myself but you keep putting it back, clearly you feel it needs to be there? Thanks, owner of flixit.co.uk. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cantfindausrname (talk • contribs) 11:52, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

The Hobbit

I'm considering invoking WP:IAR for the LOTR prequel films. There's so much information I feel that even if those films are not made, nonetheless, there's a goldmine of info about the struggle to get it produced. Alientraveller (talk) 21:20, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

What should I call it? Alientraveller (talk) 21:29, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I think I'll call it The Hobbit film duology, as it's indicated the second film will be about the Necromancer subplot from the book. And by the way, was Prince Caspian less "anthromorphic" for your tastes? Alientraveller (talk) 16:44, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

It's not out here until 26 June mate! But yeah, the castle raid, the White Witch actually appearing in spirit form, the romance and Peter's hubris are Adamson's additions. It's all in the article of course, except for a discussion of the White Witch's cameo; but everyone could tell they'd milked that scene from the book for all its worth. I'll tell you when I see it what I liked and disliked of course. Alientraveller (talk) 17:06, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Is it not possible to integrate the body of this article into either Works inspired by J. R. R. Tolkien or Adaptations of The Lord of the Rings? (Perhaps changing the name of the latter or splitting off its film section into Film adaptations of J. R. R. Tolkien or the like?) This would solve the problem rather easily and avoid any potential problems arising should the project stall. I think IAR would be a slippery slope which leads to premature articles on "sure things", which is precisely why we instituted NFF to begin with. For this subject in particular, they are not even shooting until 2010, and there is still a lawsuit ongoing that is attempting to block the film. No one is asking for content deletion, but let's be consistent or scrap NFF altogether - otherwise we're open to accusations of bias. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 04:40, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Well, yes, but the question, as always, is notability. Is this really a historically notable item if it isn't produced? Regardless of how many interviews are given and how much information about the possibility of the project exists? I think what we've got is a lot of history regarding the development, which is interesting if it gets made, and only a footnote if it doesn't. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 20:03, 27 May 2008 (UTC)

Tintin

• sorry to come back on this, but I have in front of me a copy of French magazine Cine Live, with an interview of Spielberg who says : I have already completed one week of shooting ... and I will resume shooting in September. (rough translation). So doesn't that mean that Tintin is in production ??? Hektor (talk) 17:40, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Thor

Hi. I'd like to know why you created the redirect at Thor (2010 film). As far as I can tell from Thor_(2010_film)#Live-action_film, no release date for the live-action film has been revealed. All that has been said is that Thor will have a part in the 2010 Iron Man 2 film. On the other hand, there IS a 2010 Thor film coming up, but it will be animated, made in Iceland, and star the mythical Thor rather than the Marvel Comics one: [1] Esn (talk) 07:18, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

Weasel Words on Hancock (film)

Hey Erik,

You were wondering about the Weasel words on the Hancock movie article. It seems you did not know what that meant, but there were plenty of them and unsourced info, as well as non-neutrality. Take a look at WP:WEASEL for more info. I undid your edit, and also fixed the format of that Weasel template. Take care ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 02:04, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Where did all these quotes come from? Anyway, if one is going to say "rather than the preferred, or desired, rating fo PG-13, that has to be sourced - who prefers it? Why should we care what someone or group prefers? Everything needs to be sourced or else it just looks like an opinion or some excerpt from somewhere - these quotes you showed me are not even in the article. See WP:CITE and WP:VERIFY ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 13:08, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Hmm... oh it's at the end of the paragraph; I see. Maybe some rewording is necessary to show that that preference was really by the studio and filmmakers - of course they probably wanted it so that more viewers would see the movie - and they can make money - thus showing younger viewers inappropriate scenes or not suitable for that age group lol. But let's not speculate :) Usually things are sourced each sentence or two - still some rewording may be necessary for clarity. ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 17:24, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

The Coventry Telegraph? LOL at that; I'm surprised it even showed up in the Google news alerts. I'd feel bad for dropping this guy a knowing line, but his 'article' is the same kind of hack-job you see from these people all the time: shallowly researched and full of supposition. Now, what to do about Mark Kermode's lazily lifting from Changeling (film) while reporting from Cannes this year? TBH, I feel quite pleased about that one... Steve ^{T • C} 22:29, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Glad to hear you'll be a rejoining us soon, I've only recently been able to step my own editing rate back up; the real world really is inconvenient sometimes. :) Anyway, hope you're OK and all that. The Changeling thing was no big deal; no actual plagiarism involved. I just found it amusing that when he appeared on Newsnight Review he basically just avoided reviewing the film and lifted information from the article instead (e.g. "...and did you know that the screenwriter placed newspaper clippings into physical copies of the script in order to remind people it was a true story?" Yeah, no shit, Mark. I just put that exact line into the article today, and you're not telling me you read the ruddy AMC blog to get it). Still, this is one of the many things Wikipedia is here for, so I'm rather pleased at that in fact. Steve ^{T • C} 22:51, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre

Hi Erik. I was wondering if you could take the time to review The Texas Chain Saw Massacre article, as I am currently trying to make it a Featured Article. It would be greatly appreciated Thanks, --EclipseSSD (talk) 18:31, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

I am wondering about one thing.

Where do you get all your knowledge about movies? There is so much you know about movies that you can't know just by simply watching them. I really am wondering where you get your huge knowledge about movies. Is any particular channel you watch? Do you go to movie school? Of course if that's personal I can respect that, I just can't believe how much you know about movies besides the plots. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 18:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

That's very interesting, I am about to upload some movie reviews to YouTube which I will do tomorrow. I am also planning on uploading the text version of them, so you will be able to read my reviews too. I really think you will be interested. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 01:22, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Image Question

(for you, Big or Alien): If an image is deleted, how does one track down when it was deleted. An image was removed from the Braveheart article, and I never saw a notice in the article regarding it's pending removal status, and cannot seem to find a record of it being nominated for removal. Help? - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 14:45, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Two-Face

Have you checked out the sneak peak at Two-Face?  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 04:02, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Nice teasing, WB. Two-Face is what I can't wait to see the most in TDK.

Just wanna add: The Incredible Hulk exceeded my expectations, and it's so far my favourite film of the year (over Iron Man and Indiana Jones). Maybe it's because I had lower expectations for this film than those two also great movies, but I was very happy with it. An epic story and terrific action sequences with a truly empathetic hero. Alientraveller (talk) 11:24, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Don't know about WALL-E, it's pantomime but a little bit of dialogue considering some minor roles have been announced. Best to check with a friend/relative when it comes out considering it's out here in July, not June.

By the way, could you chip in on Hulk's talk page? I'm not sure what to call a new section I'm planning which will combine details on the writing and editing to cover how Norton's backstory was eventually pulled down into the opening flashback (it's really surreal by the way). Editing is very much the second stage of writing, but I'm not sure what to title in the section ("Writing/editing"? "Copyediting"? "Writing"? "Story"?). Not sure to include how this "dispute" became tabloid fodder, maybe in marketing. Alientraveller (talk) 11:41, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, Two-Face really looks gritty in it. I can't wait for that movie. The internship is going great. I'm completely exhausted from having to go to two jobs. I'm home for like 10 hours a day, and 8 of that is sleeping. I'm not editing Wiki as much as a could. What I've been doing is working on things while at work (on WORD) and then emailing them to myself back home and pasting them into Wiki at night. Finally got that Characters of Smallville into the mainspace and merged all those season lists. I'm working on individual pages for Clark, Lex and Lana (that will probably take longer). I'm just getting over laryngitis, which wasn't that much fun, but became a piece of cake after I broke and dislocated my toe on Sunday. I spent 6 hours at the doctor's office Monday before it was reset, now I'm hobbling around. The next 6 weeks are going to suck more than they already were. :) I'm glad you're enjoying your internship. I don't know how busy it's going to be when I start Grad school in the Fall semester (oh yeah...I got it...I guess that's a little late thanks to the previous sentence), or how busy you and Alien are going to be, but we need to find us a project to work on again. I rarely edit alongside you guys anymore.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 12:46, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

One thing to be careful of is the font. Quote marks in Word never seem to come out the same as on Wiki, so be sure to have a set of Wiki quote marks, and the apostraphe marks (for italics and boldface) in the work already. This way, you can copy and paste the Wiki font while you work in the Word document. Otherwise, it just corrupts all the coding and you have to searching through the entire document to find all the incorrect fonts. I agree; a non-superhero film would be great to do. I also agree that Alien's work on all the upcoming superhero films is great stuff.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 02:12, 18 June 2008 (UTC)

The Hobbit

Thanks for the heads up - I'll take it in mind next time I come across a ropey internet rumour! The rumours also appear on James McAvoy's homepage, so they might need removing aswell thanks (Asabovesobellow (talk) 21:57, 17 June 2008 (UTC))

Is there something you can do?

Erik, I'm becoming exhausted in trying to provide some guidance, and this time I think he's stirred up a hornet's nest. Maybe as a fellow coordinator, he'll listen . . . .

Hello!

Thanks for offering help! That's really kind of you. But right now, I don't have many questions. The only thing I want to know is how to make friends on Wikipedia. I don't know if I'd consider Bignole my friend, since we've only known each other for a couple of days. I don't think you and I are friend quite yet either. I just feel like everyone here has so many connections with other Wikipedians, and I barely know anyone. What should I do? --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 17:44, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I do have one question though. On your userpage (in the miscellaneous section) it says that you and Bignole actually run Wikipedia. Is that true/ Does that make you an Admin? --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 17:46, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh, I understand. I have made one friend though, who I met from editing an article about our hometown. (We both used to live in the same town, but now she moved away. At least I think she's a she...(: ) I know I may sound ridiculous asking this but.........would you like to be friends? Oh god, I totally regret saying that! --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 17:55, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

OMG! Thank you! I totally thought you'd just treat me like crap when I asked that, but now I feel much better! Hopefully, now I won't seem like such a fish out of water! --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 18:01, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I may be new to Wikipedia, but I'm not completely clueless! It was nice of you to add that info on my talk page, but I already now all that stuff! But it was a nice jesture! (I joined Wikipedia 2 months ago, so I pretty much know the ropes by now!) --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 18:08, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I do have another question though. For my userpage, I want to make different sections for my userboxes. I don't know how to do that. Could you help me? --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 18:10, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I actually wanted different userboxes to be in different sections. (i.e, Sports, Animals, Personal) --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 18:18, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for doing that! I'll fix it up the way I want later. Geez, you're such a nice guy! --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 19:36, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for fixing that! But also, you know where it says, "My Userboxes!", why is it in that weird box and in that weird font? What's up with that? Can you fix it? --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 19:58, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for clearing that up! Give Bignole my thanks! --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 20:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Can you un-center the stuff on my talk page for me? I tried, but failed. --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 20:18, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Nevermind! --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 20:19, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I know! I hate it when you forget little tiny things after thinking you have everything! Well, I hope you have a great trip! Talk to you when you get back! --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 20:17, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

YouTube movie reviews

You can now read my most recent ones. Go check it out, my most recent ones have a text version in the end. Remember to click pause. I hope you already have a YouTube account because I'd love to get a comment from you. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 18:37, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Friday the 13th (2009)

The difference between the new Friday the 13th and those films is that it has completely wrapped principal photography and has already begun editing. It has a release date and is already in post-production. If we removed every film that was in post-production from wikipedia, 2009 in film and 2010 in film would be empty. Friday the 13th (2009) should, by this point, have its own page here.DepTrus (talk) 20:06, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

I know production has taken place, because I saw a brief (30 sec) video of some scenes they were filming, plus the mask itself. Unfortunately, there isn't a reliable source confirming the start or end date (I'll have to check the producer's blog again to see if he's updated it), and there certainly isn't any specific coverage of the production itself. They've stated that they are chronicling everything for the DVD, but they aren't telling fans much at this point in regards to what they are actually doing.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 20:16, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, at least as far as films go...it's probably not far off. MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!! I'm only kidding.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 20:20, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: Hancock

Yeah, I didn't notice at first, but it definitely seems to follow a similar path to the article. But like I said the other day after the Kermode thing, we should probably just take it as a compliment that people are using our hard work in the way it was intended. In Hancock's week of release, it'll be an interesting game to see just how many articles are lifting sections without even bothering to paraphrase. Steve ^{T • C} 22:34, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

IGN ripped off the entire KOTCS page for its preview. Alientraveller (talk) 13:46, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

I sent them mail clarifying it was Marshall, not Spielberg, who told Empire the film only had a "couple of a hundred" effects shots. Alas, we were all wrong as the film actually has 560 effects shots. Alientraveller (talk) 13:49, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

All those images but the last are copyrighted ("all rights reserved"), except the last image of Will and Charlize, but that's not allowed on Commons as it can't be used commercially (notice the stamp crossing out the dollar sign). Alientraveller (talk) 18:54, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

I don't quite remember, just consult this. Are you actually looking forward to seeing this film or just want the experience of writing about a film you might not like? Alientraveller (talk) 19:11, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

In any other summer I might've seen Hancock, but this is a year with Indy, Batman, Bond, Aslan, two Avengers and Pixar (and it's awesome, as you can tell from that section on my page). I'd love to write an article on a film that was badly received, it's going to be five years since Van Helsing next year and that film was one I wasted a lot of expectation on (here's hoping Sommers' respite will work for G.I. Joe).

Anyway, my whole family is excited for Batman, and that just speaks volumes for the cross-generational appeal of the character (and how great Begins is). Apart from Iron Man and QoS later this year, it's the only movie the non-film fans in my family are also excited to see. I am loving the beauty of TDK, its blue lights, the empty Gotham, and the foul wrinkles of the Joker's make-up. Seeing this film in IMAX would be a lovely once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and I know I'd watch it again on DVD and therefore my family would want the cheaper option of seeing it locally, but gosh, it's very exciting, the Batman franchise is as popular as it used to be in the early 90s.

How do you feel about Robin in part three? I think Nolan and Bale are putting up smokescreens, they've both read Batman: Dark Victory and understand Robin is the conclusion of Batman's arc in his formative years. I'd imagine Catwoman as the guest character, like Scarecrow and Joker are "guest stars" to the less flamboyant Ra's and Two-Face. Alientraveller (talk) 20:18, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

I don't think it's so much Penquin is unrealistic, it's just that you put him in the film and he would come across as boring. Why put him there if you make him another mob boss? Not very Penquiny. As for Riddler, yeah, he'd be nice, but I'd rather see Catwoman and Robin as they really change Batman's outlook on life. Any chance of the return of the Al Ghul family? Hmmm, so many possibilities, I know Nolan will choose the right one, making the new film not focus on Joker but on Two-Face made perfect sense.

Any opinions on The Day the Earth Stood Still, which has its trailer attached to Hancock? I'm still on the fence. Alientraveller (talk) 14:06, 4 July 2008 (UTC)

Is that the sort of thing you had in mind for reflecting the consensus? I tried to bulk it up as much as I could, but it still seems a little short. Ah, no matter. As for adding some more actual reviews, I'll see what I can knock together tomorrow. Steve ^{T • C} 20:15, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Sounds like a good idea. I agree with the thought that it should be a series of loosely-worded suggestions, but I do think it'll get done a lot quicker if there's a rough proposal before bringing this up at WT:MOSFILM. I'll see if I can come up with something tonight; I've placed the current version in my sandbox if you want to tinker with it in the meantime. Steve ^{T • C} 15:14, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

That movie kicks ass. It's one of the best movies starring Will Smith (which by the way is my favorite actor) so far. It's become one of my favorites. I already made the review, but I have to print it before I can broadcast it on YouTube. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 16:13, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Note, I've moved the work-in-progress text to its own dedicated page at User:Steve/Reception, and your comments to its talk page, here. Steve ^{T • C} 20:04, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

A rough first draft is ready for your eyes, here. Cheers, —Preceding unsigned comment added by Steve (talk • contribs) 07:25, July 7, 2008

oh

oops I didnt know not to do that. I guess I should say hello on talk page I though I was doing that. Anyway, I got home from the place today, and they gave me time to edit, but only for a little time like everyday. Then I go back in the room and they close the door with key. I wish i still had internet like before. I think Ill do the page like you said, another movie maybe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boggydark (talk • contribs) 00:43, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

batman

I am worried the darkknightt page will suffer, and it mihgt slip. but if you dont think I should edit then okay. Im just glad to be back, but bignole neve talks or does Ace. Is he still gone. Do you have his number. Boggydark (talk) 00:46, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

What's up?

Hi. Just thought I'd say thank you again for all your help. I really appreciate it! You have no idea how much it means to me. --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 14:07, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

It'll be nice to see some friends of yours. What kind of convention? --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 14:16, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

If you feel like you're forgetting someting, make a checklist of everything you need and make sure it's all in your suitcases. Whenever I am packing for a trip or vacation, I make a list of all the things I need and pack them. After I pack them, I check off that item. I've never forgotten anything since. --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 14:31, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Hi Erik. I uh don't know if you're back yet or not, so I thought I'd just drop by and say hi. (Hey, that rhymes!)So um yeah, bye. --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 22:12, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, that's good to hear. I didn't really have a great weekend though. During my best friend, Leah's birthday party, she got a text message that said her cousin, Krista, had just died in a car accident. It happnened on her actual birthday too, which is just terrible. Leah told me that her cousin and her aunt were driving to the party, but a DUI truck driver rammed into them on the highway. It's just awful really. Her aunt lived though, because the truck hit the car on the shotgun side, where Krista was sitting. Krista was only 19 too.

Well anyway, do you like the cookie I gave you? --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 14:17, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

I can't wait for the fourth either! In my town, just about everybody goes to the town high school, and brings lawn chairs and blankets to watch the fire works, which are set off in the baseball field behind some trees. (so no one can see!) But where I live, my whole family is able to see the fireworks from our porch. We live up on a big hill, and the high school is at the bottom of the hill. It's great because we can just relax, chill out and have some food, all in the comfort of our own home. --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 14:33, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Erik SUCKS

Erik you know I had a petition sighn for me to make the "changes from the series" and the "Critism" Sections of Dragon Ball (film). Ever hear of Deadlock 04, he sighned too. i have counted 546 on 70 peices of paper in the last two months. I decided to actually put it on wikipedia because so many fans, including people at the barber shop, the laundry mat, the school principal, and so on. Like I would just put my own opinion about the movie on the internet. I wasn't even going to write this if it weren't for 554 fan's that say the movie changed and sucks and that you Erika sucks. You could have asked me about this before you assumed it was only me.

Sighn, Matt Belissta. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.207.15.39 (talk • contribs) 13:23, June 27, 2008

P.S. did you ever even watch an episode of Dragonball, Dragonball Z, or Dragonball GT!!??

I am astounded at how someone can get this upset over something as inane as Dragonball. 216.69.219.3 (talk) 22:56, 8 July 2008 (UTC)
