Fair use rationale for Image:RageCarrieGlasses.jpg
edit
Image:RageCarrieGlasses.jpg is being used on this article. 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. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Party scene
editAs with the original Carrie film, the "freak out" scene is the most important in the entire movie. Many people reading this article are seeking slightly more detail about this scene including the methods in which the characters are killed. Most people who know anything about this film series know what is going to happen, but they want to see how she does it. That is why I believe including the death methods in greater detail improves the quality of this article.
WP:FILMPLOT is a recommended guideline, not an absolute rule. Complete reversion to previous edits prior to mine do not improve the article in my opinion.

- Disagree. I don't see that the vast expansion of the plot summary which you are engaging in constitutes an improvement to the article. I've asked for additional opinions at WT:FILM. Thank you for initiating a conversation on the subject. DonIago (talk) 01:42, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
- I agree with Doniago. The purpose of the plot summary is to basically summarize the story. Furthermore, we don't tailor articles to what we think people might want to read about. WP:DUE dictates how we judge the relevance of specific content and we would cover it accordingly in relation to what the sources say. Betty Logan (talk) 01:54, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
- I don't want to turn this into a pile-on, but, yes, I agree with Doniago and Betty Logan. Really long plot summaries are generally not a good idea, as they can overwhelm readers with unnecessary detail. Few people want to read a 1000+ word plot summary. I wrote a user essay that may be of some use: User:NinjaRobotPirate/How to streamline a plot summary. Often, it's possible to say the same thing in fewer words.

- In fact, this plot had a few examples I should add to my essay: "they share a kiss" is the same thing as "they kiss", except it uses twice as many words. Anyway, the plot is under 700 words now. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 05:08, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Box Office
editAm curious as to why only "domestic" ticket sales are mentioned when the movie WAS released internationally.
Why is there not a "worldwide total" given? The figures can be found if anyone wants to look for them (like at IMDb).
The movie may still be a financial bomb, but let's have ALL the facts before stating a conclusion. 2600:8800:786:A300:C23F:D5FF:FEC4:D51D (talk) 20:51, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
