[edit] category idea

Is there a category for films about the Hollywood filmmaking industry? Aside from The Player, there's The Day of the Locust (film), Singin' in the Rain (film), Get Shorty, The Party (film), The Last Shot, State and Main, and King Kong (2005 film). See also Sunset Blvd. (1950 film)#Other films about Hollywood. --Mathew5000 23:01, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suggestion for future editing of entertainment subjects

I just did a minor edit on the page of the first paragraph, changing the text from saying "A well-known feature of the film" to "One of the more notable features of the film". It's a minor edit, but the Wikipedia community should consider that entertainment might not be "well-known" within the mainstream, and the features of such entertainment could not then be considered "well-known". I'm in my mid-20's right now, and most of the people my age barely know who Robert Altman is, or even his films. Regardless of this film, people should shy away from the phrase "well-known" when describing certain subjects, or at least describe who the fact is well-known to—such as, "Well-known to film buffs for featuring over 60 cameos...", etc. Fermentor 08:18, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
