Talk:The Grifters (film)

message: Hi all, I am new to the film project & a Wikineophyte in general, so I am raising these questions here first instead of simply changing things around in the article itself.  (1) I think the "curiosities" category should be retitled "trivia."  (2) It seems that these categories are not in the "proper" order for the film project (although this might not be a rigid rule).  For example, the "plot" section should probably go first, after the introduction.  Comments?  Answers?  Enlightenment?  Z Wylld 17:26, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: The Grifters tells the story of Lilly Dillon

message: Anjelica Huston's character pronounces "Los Angeles" with a hard G sound, like "Los Angle-ees."  I'm trying to understand the significance of this:
# Was this a common pronunciation of "Los Angeles" at the time?
# Was this a characteristic of some particular US population?  I.e., maybe this is how New Yorkers said it back then?
# I imagine that this is meant to indicate that her character is not a native of Los Angeles.  Agree or disagree?

message: WP:FILMPLOT advises plot summary should be 400 to 700 words unless…
*unconventional structure
*non-linear storylines
*complicated'''''
Go may not be overly "complicated" but is fairly complex and packs in a whole lotta story with its unconventional, non-linear structure. It's clearly 21/2 of the exceptions.
I have trimmed the plot from 913 words to 736 mostly through concision but I cut into a little of the meat by excising the credit card and food poisoning. I also added a little with the car chase which wasn't mentioned but is more integral. Given that so much happens in this movie —- it's almost 3-in-1 —- I suggest that while improvements may be made there is little point in trying to squish the plot summary much further. I have removed the "long plot" template.  Captainllama (talk) 23:45, 13 October 2018 (UTC)

Talk:Bishop of Exeter

message: Spelling of Veysey. All the references in Sutton Coldfield spell the name Vesey, however Bishop of Exeter has the name as Veysey. Is there any determined preference between the two, and why?
:The Oxford DNB says "Veysey (formerly Harman), John (c.1464–1554), bishop of Exeter ..." and notes that "His adoption of the surname Veysey dates from about [1497ish], perhaps as a compliment to John Veysey (d. 1492), an Oxford graduate and London city rector, who came from the west midlands and whose will made bequests to Harman and to his brother.". So they seem pretty decided on the spelling. Shimgray | talk | 14:37, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Oops, forgot to sign that post. Thanks for that, Andrew :) Hmm, interesting. Looks like the current compromise is likely to be best stuck with - having him as Veysey in this article, and Vesey elsewhere when it applies to a specific title - eg. Sutton Vesey (Birmingham City Council ward name). The pub next door to my office is called The Bishop Vesey too :) DWaterson 20:37, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:A Lot like Love

message: The reason why I deleted the info about the hate list in the first place, was that I consider it totally inappropriate to name this fact in the second line of the article.
The article is about the movie, it's contents, origins, plot, actors, production. It's nice that this guy wrote about the movie. However, his opinion won't last half as long as the movie. If you want to include every single opinion, the measures of the leading act, obstacles during pruduction, whatever, let's please do it like IMDB and move this to the trivia section, because that's what it is: trivial.
I read the WP entry about Roger Ebert and definitely like his controversial stance on the MPAA, yet I think that this is not the key fact to know about the movie. Cheers. --perelly 21:05, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Jim Ellis

message: The change  introduced unnecessary ambiguity: 
# The article name "Jim Ellis (politics)" is ambiguous because Jim Ellis (Seattle) was involved in politics as well. This will be discussed on Talk:Jim Ellis (politics). 
# The descriptions for both are devoid of specifics:
:*Jim Ellis (Seattle) (b. 1920/21), American jurist & activist 
:*Jim Ellis (politics) (fl. 2000), American Republican activist 
:For all we know, "Jim Ellis (Seattle)" could have connections with Republicans and "Jim Ellis (politics)" connections with law or Seattle. Why leave out the specific and unmistakable descriptor "executive director of Americans for a Republican Majority"? (I'm fine with leaving out the link per MoS:DP#Individual entries.)
Common Man 01:48, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: "Executive director of", or rather "head of" if Jim Ellis III worked in the mail room and became notable by taking the opportunity to abscond with ARMPAC's assets; otherwise JWE is not going to be mistaken for anyone else at ARMPAC.  By the same token, people who can expound on TRMPAC and DeLay's future at length have never heard of "Jim Ellis", "James W. Ellis", "ARMPAC", or "Americans for a Republican Majority", neither form of the groups name is crucial to, nor probably even useful for, the purpose of distinguishing among these three bios.  By now i am so fed up with this that i can't bear to look again & show how my version is more effective (bcz of the reduced clutter than yours). If you think more is needed, show scenarios where your change, or your whole new version would make an improvement in disambiguation.

thread_title: The Ghost Train

message: In the article it says... "The title sequence uses scenes shot at a variety of locations on the Waterloo to Southampton railway line and also between Maze Hill and Greenwich in south-east London. According to John Huntley in his book Railways on Screen, "[t]he editor reversed his negative at one stage in preparing the title backgrounds, causing them to come out reversed on the final print".
This is clearly nonsense.  By looking at the signals on the other line it's clear that the actual signals are facing towards the camera with the 'arm' of the semaphore pointing to the left therefore the film cannot possibly have been reversed. The film is not reversed left to right but it is reversed in time having been filmed from the back of a train, not the front, with the train travelling in the correct direction for the track. It's rather shocking that anybody could write a book about railways on screen and get something this basic so wrong. 178.78.66.211 (talk) 21:47, 19 October 2022 (UTC)
