Does anybody know anything about Kumogakure? As in the village hidden in the clouds? I'm making a Naruto website...But I want to make sure I get my facts right. --Ninjawolf 01:33, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

hi i was just wondering if external links such as links for celebrity's official myspace pages are verified by anyone? i know this may be a stupid question but i have been added, and contacted by someone on myspace claiming to be calum best who's link is the same as the official link on here, therefore i was just wondering whether somebody is taking a joke to far or it is the official page for him. Just a general answer on whether these links are verified would suffice, thank you

Hmm. That's a good question. I was reading about Slimey the Worm and I was wondering about that too. --JDitto 19:42, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I can tell you from experience that, by and large, the answer is no. Celebrities are private people, too, and might not want that kind of interaction. Celebrities will have official fan myspace sites, but the odds of a celebrity seeking you out are very slim. Write to Calum/Calum's agent and ask.And, should it turn out not to be Calum, write to myspace and inform them, as well as bring it up on Wikipedia.--Ispy1981 00:16, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Subtitles for DVD commentaries

edit

I am hearing impaired and have a cochlear implant to hear movies, provided that subtitles are on. However, the audio commentaries on DVDs are usually not captioned. I know of only two DVDs that have subtitled commentaries -- Road to Perdition and Breach. There is a similar issue with featurettes, though, I find them to usually be captioned because they're stand-alone. Can anyone recommend any films that have subtitled DVD commentaries? 204.52.215.101 22:41, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whilst not a film Seinfeld has subtitles for its commentary. Filmwise I think You've Got Mail did and also Wallstreet. This place (http://dvd-subtitles.com/comments.php) might help. ny156uk 10:30, 9 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Lots of mine seem to have the commentaries subtitled (I know, because I like to have them on while I watch the movie with the original sound but the commentary on subtitle). Off the top of my head, Clerks 2, all DVDs of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead all subtitle the commentary tracks. It might be worth contacting DVD publishers directly and asking them for a list. Neil  14:34, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
