Editing Guidelines Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article: If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film) For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films) When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references. Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film. Article upgrading needed: You can help! WP:IA   Stub to Start-Class Upgrading Instructions for Films Note that instructions for articles on other types of film topics within the scope of WikiProject Films are currently under development. To contribute in upgrading this stub article to Start class, the following requirements must be met: Significant intro (list the title, alternate titles, year released, director, actors starring in the film, summary of headings, etc.) Film infobox ({{infobox film}}) Picture: Consult WikiProject Free Images for freely released images from a film shoot, opening, or other relevant free image. Non-free and unlicensed images are to be avoided if at all possible, but if used should include a detailed fair use rationale. (An image is not required for start class if unavailable.) Plot summary Include cast and crew information. At least two other developed sections of information (production, reception (including box office figures), awards and honors, themes, differences from novel or TV show, soundtrack, sequels, DVD release, etc.) Categories (by year, country, language, and genre(s))  Helpful links: WP:BETTER, WP:LEAD, WP:REF, WP:WAF Once this article has fulfilled these requirements, the film can be reassessed to Start class and this template will be removed automatically.

Does anyone know what the tune is on Christine's mobile? Matt9090 27 January 2006

• I think it was one of the basic Nokia ringtones, but I can't remember which one. Ytookay 00:57, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

i'm not sure that this description really does justice to the film. it makes it seem as though the movie is about teen sex and poop fetishes. thats not quite what comes to mind when i think about what the characters were all about.

i cant post now, but i think it needs to be fixed up so as not to throw off potential first time viewers.

I don't think it even came close to being overt scat fetish, the thought never properly entered my mind - rather it was Robby's naivete or whatever you have it. Does Peter also fall in love with Sylvie (the 8 year old girl) at the end, perhaps it was the sentimentality of it all but I really wouldn't call that episode of them lying on the floor "love". awesome film, though. 202.156.6.54 09:18, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Cleaned it up somewhat...I think the quotes should be moved to wikiquotes, though -- feb^talk 20:02, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Subtext" section

This is original research and doesn't belong in Wikipedia, much less with profanity (also not permitted here). For you folks above, even though I know you made your edits over a year ago, it's still worth recommending that you sign up for accounts, since that offers a level of discourse not possible otherwise. For the sake of accountability, I've included the section I removed here. Drasil (talk) 22:01, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

==Subtext== The often toxic/twisted activities of the characters (self-immolation, a blowjob contest, seducing underage girls, cybersex with pre-adolescents, etc.) are the ))<>(( "Forever" pooping act brought to life, where one passes their shit on to another and that other serves it back to them or someone else . . . forever. Robby, the innocent, quietly observes and absorbs these behaviors, puzzled by them much as he is by the inexplicable tapping/clanking sound he hears at the start of every day. At the conclusion of the film, when he discovers that the sound is that of a man tapping a quarter on a light pole and asks the gentleman what he's doing, it's explained that he's "just passing the time." Robby is handed the quarter (being passed "the shit") and begins tapping it himself. While he does this, the sun rises, as though it's the dawning of his realization that he, too, will pass the time of his life this way. Even before the final scene, it's notable that Robby is the one who creates/notices the idea of ))<>((. When his brother, Peter, asks him what he wants to say in the chat, the very first thing he wants to communicate is his desire to trade shit back and forth, just as he's seen everyone around him do in their lives.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Meandyouposter.jpg

Image:Meandyouposter.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 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.BetacommandBot 22:40, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
