replies: text:  I don't see how such was in bad taste.  Just as my usage of "see" in the first sentence is metaphorical, so was its usage here.  In fact, in the movie, at least, Mr. Charles often used "see" matter-of-factly, without any apparent sense at humor or irony.  It's just a figure of speech.  We sometimes are too sensitive and "see" slights where none were intendedHistoryBuff14 (talk) 14:48, 3 January 2012 (UTC)

thread_title: Revisions

message: I'm puzzled to find that there is no mention in this article of the theory proposed by Robert Anton Wilson that F for Fake is largely itself a fake.  Starting from Welles' own fascination with magic and deception, Wilson makes the point that the entire film, including the first hour, is pieced together in ways which could easily have been fabricated.  For example the opening sequence with people "reacting" to Kodar walking down the street is arguably a compilation of completely unrelated reaction shots intermixed with Kodar's walk.  I've got the necessary documentation at home, so if nobody else wants to beat me to it, I'll update the page sometime soonish.David A Spitzley (talk) 18:53, 6 July 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Rewrite of article 

message: In consequence of doing some janitorial work on the references in this article I have removed the French box office figure in the infobox since its supporting source failed verification. The information in question was cited to:
*
This appears to be some sort of blog or forum that is not in itself a reliable source. The author in turn cites as his source "CNC - chiffres arrêtés au 31 mai 2014". "CNC" is the Centre National de la Cinématographie, and when I failed to find the relevant publication, or any other publication containing this data, on their website, I emailed their research department for clarification. According to their response the CNC does not in general publish box office return figures, and they have no idea from where the relevant numbers may have been taken.
I have thus removed the offending information from the infobox until a suitable source for the data is found. --Xover (talk) 06:10, 21 September 2015 (UTC)

message: The film was shot without production sound being recorded and all of the dialogue was later recorded in the studio and dubbed in.

Talk:Musical film

message: Movies that include singing/dancing in relatively realistic settings, such as stories about musicians are generally not considered musicals.  Generally, the music must be a fantastical event to qualify.  See IMDB's rules on the subject.

thread_title:  mimic is BAD

message: According to one line in The musical film today, "In the early 2000's, the musical film began to rise in popularity once more…even [with] film versions of stage shows that were themselves based on non-musical films, such as The Producers, Hairspray and Sweeney Todd."
Um…The Producers and Hairspray are based off of films that are very much musical, and Sweeney Todd isn't even based on a film (though, yes, there are earlier film versions of the urban legend of Sweeney Todd). The only musical that fits this category, in fact, would be The Phantom of the Opera, which is largely based off of The Phantom of the Opera (1925 film).

thread_title: Non-musical films

message: The first paragraph of this entry gives a definition of a musical film which seems quite accurate to my eyes, yet the List of musical films by year gives many films which fall outside of the description given in this article.

thread_title:  Musical film list 

message: Is use of the unexplained terms "deictic" and "diegetic" really appropriate in this general-interest Wikipedia article? They may be useful and socially acceptable among consenting adults discussing a Cahiers du Cinéma article in private, but here they just seem pretentious. More to the point, they will certainly perplex and deter most readers. AVarchaeologist (talk) 01:38, 19 May 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Obfuscatory verbiage 

message: Given that the film musical is enjoying a resurgence in popularity in the 21st century, I think it's necessary to have at least some mention of recent examples. I understand that a messy list isn't necessarily the way to go, but I believe that the information that was here should have been cleaned up and sourced rather than simply stripped out because it wasn't up to one editor's snuff. As it stands, the article reads, rather bizarrely, as if movie musicals ceased to exist after 1999, with a sole mention of Moulin Rouge.PacificBoy 21:56, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

message: While linking to the Bollywood page is appropriate, there needs to be some discussion in this article of the overall genre, IMHO. However, what's here now is both frustratingly specific and overly general. I don't have the resources to fix it myself, or I would. Also, I've taken the liberty of removing the section on Sauhraab Grover, which doesn't belong in a general survey article like this (and was unsourced to boot).PacificBoy 21:56, 1 June 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Adventure film

message: This concerns POV tag cleanup.  Whenever an POV tag is placed, it is necessary to also post a message in the discussion section stating clearly why it is thought the article does not comply with POV guidelines, and suggestions for how to improve it.  This permits discussion and consensus among editors.  This is a drive-by tag, which is discouraged in WP, and it shall be removed. Future tags should have discussion posted as to why the tag was placed, and how the topic might be improved.  Better yet, edit the topic yourself with the improvements.  This statement is not a judgement of content, it is only a cleanup of frivolously and/or arbitrarily placed tags.  No discussion, no tag.Jjdon (talk) 21:50, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Family film

message: It seems we should find a way to note the evolving definition of "family film."  As the article currently stands, a lot of the action fare that is now included within the category (e.g., Pirates of the Carribean and Raiders of the Lost Ark--both of which placed in the top twenty of the BBC's 2005 poll for best family film) doesn't fit the model.  In fact, the genre has changed greatly in the last twenty years.  (For a good--and decade old!--discussion of these changes in the New York Times see []).

Talk:Woodworking machine

message: This term seems to be used differently by different industry sectors. For example, it is used by the logging industry to distinguish logging operations destined for solid timber products from those used to produce fibre products such as paper. This would include plywood in the definition of solidwood, however one would not put a sheet of plywood through a thicknesser. In furniture production, solidwood seems to mean solid timber versus man-made products such as ply and MDF. Machinery manufacturers have a different definition again. I Googled it and found no clear defintion. As such, I replaced this label with General because it seems confusing and ambiguous and doesn't add anything to the definition of these machines.
As for Panel line, I can't comment - Google brought up many references to diverse topics, including making plastic models! This page seems to have been set up for a very specific purpose and is not what I would call encyclopeadic. There are links to exhibitions, many of which are in the past. Perhaps there needs to be a new page to satisfy the needs of machinery manufacturers? I don't have the knowledge to handle this. I'm creating a section for external links and putting all of these association and exhibition links there, plus removing the old ones - for now.
