[edit] Speed Racer

If you question intent of removal of some of the content, it can normally be solved by simply looking at the talk page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mormon88 (talk • contribs) 00:16, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] GOW Film

Thanks for letting me know, and hey if you want (if you haven't already), join the new Gears of War Task Force. You'd be a really valuable member of the task force! JayJ47 (talk) 23:21, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

Happy editing to you to! And if you ever change your mind you know where to join! JayJ47 (talk) 23:25, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)

[edit] The Invasion

Hi Erik! I noticed you made some contributions to the wiki on the film The Invasion. Do you know the name of the actress who gets undressed and gets into bed with Tucker Kaufman at the beginning of the film right before he becomes infected?

Thanks! --Zwikiz (talk) 04:33, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 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)

[edit] 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)
