Talk:Rejected

message: I always was under the impression that it was not a vacuum cleaner in the "my spoon is too big" skit, but rather a blender. A blender would seem to fit the food theme of the skit more. Perhaps someone with the DVD can chime in if this is mentioned anywhere in the commentary? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.110.4.183 (talk) 02:55, 4 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: It's not mentioned in the commentary (which is pretty hilariously awful), but it sounds more like a hair dryer to me. Slicing 22:12, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: No, it's a vacuum cleaner. (I have the Bitter Films DVD.)--71.35.158.73 00:21, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  From the Bitter Films volume 1 DVD it says in the trivia captions "rob also performed these vacuum cleaner sounds with a bottle and a pear". So, its a vacuum cleaner. --66.21.202.62 01:51, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Sounds

message: Why did someone previously change all occurances of "Puffball" to "Fishstick" under "My Anus is Bleeding"? Is it because they're seen in the Fishsticks ad? If so, that doesn't mean they're fishsticks. Fishsticks do not even look like puffballs. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.172.221.90 (talk) 04:09, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't know; they're definitely not fish sticks. See  (search for "fluffy" or "lamb") and  and  for Don Hertzfeldt's description of them. For that matter, I'm not sure why the people are referred to as "Balloon Figure #1" and "Balloon Figure #2" either. Slicing 04:45, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, my bad - sorry.  Last time I checked the conventional wisdom was that they were fishsticks.  Thanks for those links.  I reverted again back to puffballs, as "fluffy lamb thing" is a little wordy. Kjl 06:39, 24 August 2005 (UTC)

message: Is this sectionr eally necessary? The movie is only 10 minutes long, and the only people who will enjoy these references are the individuals who have seen the film. DO we really need a list of quotes in this article? I think it would be a lot tidier without it. Shaggorama 19:03, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, considering that most of the "Notable Moments" are also described in the synopsis, I think we should just delete the entire section. Slicing 05:17, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: As the one who created that section, I regretfully have to agree.  I created it thinking it would be valuable to give the reader who hasn't seen the film the "flavor" of it via a few well-chosen quotes.  What I wish I had foreseen is how many people would come across the article and say "I wish I had something to contribute to this article!  Why, I know!  I can add yet another scene from the movie!"  There's no reason to think the transcription creep will ever die off. -- Antaeus Feldspar 23:21, 17 November 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Notable Moments 

message: I was passing through and read the synopsis for Rejected. I must say, that was one excellently written piece of work! A good work to all the editors to contributed to the final product! (Though in theory, the work is never done...) Kareeser|Talk! 04:12, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  A "wow!" to the editors of this article 

message: Though the first scene contains non sequitor I think it may be worth mentioning in the article that it starts with the semblance of accordance with the "Family Learning Channel" idea. The first character teaches us that his spoon is too big, the second identifies himself as a banana. Though it seems random it does fit the bill in a somewhat deranged way. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.213.183.243 (talk) 19:27, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

replies: text: According to the www.bitterfilms.com FAQ, every video version of their work online is a bootleg. So I think linking to one would be against Wikipedia policy.   Sleepyjuly 18:19, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

message: I've removed the plot summary because 1000 words for a 9-1/2 minute film is obscene.  I've also trimmed out a lot of hype and unsourced stuff. --Tony Sidaway 17:53, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree that whomever wrote the plot summary went overboard.  I am undoing the rest of your gutting of the page though because now you are going overboard. DISCUSS before making such major, sweeping deletions.  Sleepyjuly (talk) 00:04, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Plot summary

message: I've called a RFC since most of my bold edits here have been reverted. Here's a summary.  Below I'm describing the content removed while giving a link to User:Sleepyjuly's reverts.  I think Sleepjuly agrees with me that the article had problems.
*  Promotional treatment of a DVD, using language like "never before seen footage" etc.  My approach was to remove what I regard as clutter while leaving "Rejected is also featured on the DVD, "Bitter Films Volume 1", a compilation of Don Hertzfeldt's short films from 1995-2005 that is available exclusively from the Bitter Films website." --Tony 07:26, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: *Four years later, there are still edit wars over this! I think this is pretty clear consensus that all the stuff about dressing up and sourcing it to myspace is NOT appropriate. I will continue to revert this edit without a clear change in consensus. GDallimore (Talk) 13:02, 9 March 2012 (UTC)

text: I have just added a bunch of references and rewrote some of the wordiage Tony took issue with. Thanks to Tony for pointing out these inconsistencies. Again, I invite the original authors of the rest of this article to add their own references;  in the meantime I will seek them out myself and see what I can find and confirm  :)  Sleepyjuly (talk) 10:25, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
