# Talk:Tower Heist

The movie hasn't been out in theaters for an entire week yet we have the entire breakdown of the film's plot posted here. Why would anyone, after reading this want to bother seeing the film? Can we consider possibly making the synopsis less revealing and detailed and instead make it more general, at least until the film has been out for a while?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 38.98.13.51 (talk) 19:26, 7 November 2011 (UTC) 

See WP:SPOILER. I don't believe readers would just start reading a full blown plot summary before seeing the film. —Mike Allen  19:55, 7 November 2011 (UTC)

looking at this is just a shadow of an article, until we know more about the movie, we don't have WP:V in about 6 months we will have it, but now there is just not enought to support it as an article kthxbai Keastes know thyself 09:24, 9 November 2010 (UTC)

I am sorry, it might just be me, but I cannot seem to actually find any documentation that Zachary Levi has a role in this movie on IMDB. How come he is listed both here and in the Zachary Levi article?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.49.129.84 (talk) 19:12, 3 June 2011 (UTC) 

Is it worth mentioning this?  I know it got  alot of attention even though it was a fairly minor incident. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 11:20, 7 October 2011 (UTC)

Does how much the actor gets paid really matter to why they are in the cast? This is just a concern. Rusted AutoParts (talk) 2:13 4 November 2011 (UTC)

It's not why they're in the cast it's just a part of their casting information. I personally like it as it is information first and second it creates an image of how big an chunk of the budget was just spent on the actors. THere was an article on American Reunion that gave cast pay rundowns (though it wasn't accuirate enough to use) which showed some of the actors getting much, much more than the others, which was useful information because it spoke to how much value the actors had to the franchise, some a lot less than others.Darkwarriorblake (talk) 02:18, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Sounds reasonable. Rusted AutoParts (talk) 2:20 4 November 2011 (UTC)
Great to be able to include the pay information in a rare case where it is available but I think it would be better if it was presented in the Production section, as you say it relates not so much to the cast or characters but to how the budget was spent. -- 109.76.130.88 (talk) 16:45, 20 February 2021 (UTC)

I just wanted to thank whoever put all of the reference details together and only referred to their names in the article's text. It makes editing much easier. --Kitsunegami (talk) 05:20, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

Yes it does. It's called list-defined references. —Mike Allen  05:48, 6 November 2011 (UTC)
You're welcome, I can't stand it the other way, it is impossible to read the editable text in any kind of efficient manner. And it hurts my eyes. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 13:09, 6 November 2011 (UTC)

This looks like an excellent candidate for GA status. Rusted AutoParts (talk) 17:42 10 November 2011 (UTC)

Usually we wait until the film is out of theaters to review for GA, since information will be changing frequently. —Mike Allen  03:55, 26 November 2011 (UTC)

Dear admin, cameo movie appearance credits appear frequently throughout Wikipedia, as do references to people in movies who passed away shortly after production.  For some reason, one editor has a problem with those standards on this page.  When it comes to contributions, I understand it to be a page that is open to everyone - not a page where ONE editor picks and chooses which actors merit being listed (indeed, there are some currently listed actors in the section who didn't say a single line and/or aren't otherwise well-known enough that they have their own Wikipedia pages).  Please add the following at the very end of the paragraph at the end of the "Cast" section:
Heavy D, with a cameo appearance as a guard at a courthouse, makes his last movie appearance before sadly passing away four days later at the age of 44.
Thank you!  :)

Again, his death has no association with the film. The cameo was a bit, and though sad, not everyone would recognize him. If it were Johnny Depp making a suprise appearance, that's different. But this cameo isn't needed to be mentioned. RAP (talk) 16:11 26 November 2011 (UTC)
 Not done: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{edit protected}} template. — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 21:48, 26 November 2011 (UTC)
First of all, his last full credited appearance was in an episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit (episode "Personal Fouls"). Secondly, why would you think it would be correct to write "before sadly passing away". Encyclopedia's write in a neutral point of view and Wikipedia does not write "passed away" we just write "died". (see WP:EUPHEMISM).  Other than that I do not have a problem listing his cameo appearance in the cast section (that is, just describing his role). Thank you. —Mike Allen  02:21, 27 November 2011 (UTC)

Hello, I will review the article. -- Matthew RD 17:08, 23 December 2011 (UTC)


### Criteria
Well written: See notes below
Sources: General pass, but there is one issue in the comments list below.
Broadness in coverage:  Pass
Neutral:  Pass
Stability: General  Pass, no major edit conflict issues.
Images:  Pass


### Comments
The lead section should mention the general view by critics (was it positively received? Mixed? Negative?) and how much the film grossed in the box office.
"Josh responds by destroying the windows of Shaw's Ferrari 250 getting them fired." I don't understant this sentence. Was it Josh who gets fired? In this case it would be him, not them.
Link bellhop.
There is one instance that Slide is referred to as Slides.
Mazin accepts but Josh, being the primary conspirator, must serve a two-year sentence.
In the cast section when it is mentioned the actors get paid x amount of money say "million" not "M".
Same again at the end of the filming section.
And the are a few more instances in the box office section.
Unlink Bernard Madoff in writing section, it is already linked in cast section.
Ref #6 is a PDF file, which is 34 pages long. Elaborate which page the comments are in.
I'll place the review on hold for seven days. I probably might not respond on the 25th, being Christmas Day and all (food and presents!). -- Matthew RD 13:37, 24 December 2011 (UTC)

I didn't nominate it for GA but I was the main contributor so I've done some of these, except the plot related ones as I haven't seen it yet and don't want to spoil myself. I think the only thing I've missed and I'm going to do now is read through REf #6 to sort that out.Darkwarriorblake (talk) 14:27, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
Dealt with ref 6 which is now ref 1.Darkwarriorblake (talk) 15:29, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
I'll deal with the plot-related issues. RAP (talk) 18:50 24 December 2011 (UTC)
Just wanted to say sorry about the plot stuff, I haven't even seen the film but the plot was around 1200 words and it really needed to get cut down before this review.  That sentence about the ferrari was extremely confusing.  --Peppageಠ_ಠ 01:28, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
That's OK. I see the plot issues, as well as the other issues, have been addressed. I will pass the article. -- Matthew RD 14:32, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
Thanks for taking the time to do this Matthew, much appreciated. Darkwarriorblake (talk) 15:52, 26 December 2011 (UTC)
