[edit] Ultimate X-Men

i remember hearing something about Singer being signed on to write an arc for Ultimate x-men. The comic book. But really haven't seen or heard anything about it. I would write it into his future plans section, but what I just wrote is all I know.

[edit] "This biography is written by Rebecca Flint of All Movie Guide."

I don't understand what the significance of this statement is, or even how it's true, given that other editors have contributed to the article. Wikipedia is collaborative, no? Is this an act of vanity, a legal statement, advertising, or something else? Furthermore, the entire bio is full of unsourced claims and POV statements singing the praises of Singer and his films. --Misterwindupbird 19:50, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Singer's sexual orientation

Various anon IP editors keep removing the mention of Singer's homosexuality from the "Biography" section. I'm not sure why — he's not closeted, and even discusses how growing up gay influenced his interpretation of the X-Men films in the BBC interview linked at the bottom of the page. Sure, it's not the be-all and end-all of his identity, but it's verifiable and relevant and ought to remain in the article. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 22:27, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

Just keep restoring it. Since they never explain why they are deleting that particular detail, who knows what they are up to. AlistairMcMillan 04:44, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
It's probably just because they think it's not true, because it usually is vandalism.--86.43.64.115 16:48, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
An intext note would probably help.--Fallout boy 23:47, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
Good idea. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 03:46, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] King Kong

Having just bought and watched Peter Jackson's Production Diaries, I felt it fitting that Bryan Singer get a mention of his small contribution to the film. There is now a small piece of the article noting this. ViceroyInterus 21:57, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Was this for real? I couldn't tell from the videos whether this was genuine or just a stunt for the videos? AlistairMcMillan 01:45, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
I doubt they used his takes of the scene, but he did help out Peter Jackson, if only by letting the studio think progress was being made while the real director slept. ViceroyInterus 19:16, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
I'm kind of confused by the text here. It opens up saying that there was an " elaborate joke" but then never states what the joke was. I assume from direct being in quotes that Bryan didn't actually direct anything, however, I don't see how it was a joke. A ruse perhaps, but nothing about it is funny. For that matter, it doesn't seem very elaborate either. Could someone who knows what happened clarify it?216.174.134.2 20:40, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
