Talk:Weekend (1967 film)

message: Ok, so I have no idea how to edit an article, but it did occur to me when I was reading Georges Bataille's Story of the Eye, that the scene in Week End where the wife is telling the husband about her exploits, bears a stiking resemblance to passages in the Story of the Eye : three protagonists, a saucer of milk, eggs.
Someone ought to note that the 'ode to the ocean' in the last third of the film is in fact from the first canto of 'Les Chants de Maldoror' by Le Comte Lautreamont/Issidore Ducasse. In fact, someone ought to start a seperate section on the intertextural references to French literature throughout.    —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.65.213.237 (talk) 02:46, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

message: It's common practice in Wikipedia to use the US release title for a film.  See Breathless (1960 film), for example.  And in the US, Weekend is presented as one word instead of two, as can be seen in its DVD cover.
Should this article thus be retitled Weekend, with a redirect from Week End?  --Jeremy Butler 12:02, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

message: Whitney Matheson at Pop Candy has mentioned a number of times that she has this film from Netflix and has not returned it.  Notable because she mentioned it again [| here ]  on Jan 18 2008 and admits that she has held onto it since September of 2006.  Should this be mentioned on this page?  The Netflix article?  The Pop Candy/ Whitney articles?  I'm mostly kidding as I don't think it deserves mention at all on Wikipedia, but stranger things have been added to some films "References in Popular Culture" sections.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.32.13.98 (talk) 16:12, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Can the movie image for this article be reverted back to one of the original posters. The one currently used is from a recent u.s. dvd release and I think it would be more pertinent to use an image that's in the films native french and that is much older. For instance
