Powerplant worker on wordgirl

Hi, i got my friend to look up the credits for the episode 'that's entertainment for wordgirl, and he says that "Erika Hanson" is the voice of the powerplant worker. The only famous Erika hanson i found online is a singer on youtube, she does sound somewhat like the power plant worker, but if she just changes her voice a little, she'd have it right on. Is it her? is it Tara Strong? Is my friend messing with me when he gave me that name for the voice behind the power plant worker in wordgirl episode 'that's entertainment'? Thanks in advance for helping me.

Nissae isen birthday

Please give me the day, month and year of nissae Isen's birthday, so i can add it to my 'coolest selebs birthdays.' 216.73.64.155 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 18:18, 12 October 2010 (UTC).

That's actualy a good question, and would also be rellavent for a wikipedia article about her. I'm guessing she was born in 1997, because an interview by tajja isen in 2005 said she had an 8 year old sister named nissae, who i guess would be 13 by now. (i know as i count the years) I don't know her birthday, but i think it is 97. 204.112.104.172 (talk) 14:20, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Crap in the film

The Simpsons Movie: Can someone tell me something about the additional black and footage (mostly stills) of about 20 minutes that occurs after the end and the credits and all, and why awhile the same soundtrack that belongs to the beginning is played throughout ?  Jon Ascton  (talk) 20:17, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

Are you watching a bootlegged copy? My copy doesn't have that stuff. Aaronite (talk) 02:41, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Trippy movie about ancient Greeks

- I remember a few years ago seeing parts of a movie on TCM about ancient Greece; it was a weird movie, trippy (can't think of a better word...) and I remember some homoeroticism. It seemed to be from the sixties or seventies and I seem to remember it was an Italian film. I've tried google and couldn't find it. Anyone know the name? Thank you so much to who ever knows it!! : ] ?EVAUNIT^{神になった人間} 20:19, 12 October 2010 (UTC)

If you allow that you might have confused Rome and Greece, then it may have been one of the tamer cuts of Caligula (film). APL (talk) 01:32, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Fellini's Satyricon? Pepso2 (talk) 02:01, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

It definitely wasn't Caligula...but it might've been Satyricon. I'll have to watch it and see. thanks!  ?EVAUNIT^{神になった人間} 12:23, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

Almost certainly 'Sebastiane' directed by Derek Jarman - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sebastiane - Parts of the dialogue, if not all are spoken in latin which may explain your misinterpretation of the language.Juliankaufman (talk) 14:47, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Or one of Pier Paolo Pasolini's films based on Greek tragedies, Oedipus Rex (film) or Medea (film). These are actually in Italian. I don't know if there's any homoeroticism in them, but knowing Pasolini's track record it wouldn't surprise me. --Viennese Waltz 15:30, 14 October 2010 (UTC)

Dukes of Hazzard font styles

Over the years, I've seen many font styles on The Dukes of Hazzard and its related merchandise. What I don't understand is why can't just the opening credits fonts be used? Plus, what's the font style on the closing credits?24.90.204.234 (talk) 20:26, 12 October 2010 (UTC)
