thread_title: References to use

message: ===Information about the English narrated DVD version etc.===
This is interesting information about the movie La Jetee and is a welcome addition to the article. I feel this information, regarding the preference of viewers and fans of the movie for the English narrated version of La Jetee etc., best belongs in the 'Trivia' section rather than in the introduction.  Let's keep the introduction as a crisp and highly relevant summary of the film. Could someone amend the article accordingly? Thanks. Splashprince 03:08, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  Yes, Kwyjibear, you are right; we can make do without these specifics about which regional setting etc. without compromising the article at all. Go ahead and rectify. Thanks. AppleJuggler 13:22, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Information about the English narrated DVD version etc.

message: The first bullet point states that the dvd is only available in region 2.  Two sentences later, it states that the DVD is now available in region 1 (Criterion).  Shouldn't both statements simply be removed? Kwyjibear 00:55, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

message: "but in this case idiomatically meaning 'The Terminal,'"
The title could also be referring to the kind of terraces on that were availible on airports before, were one could stand and watch the airplanes land and take off. --Blenda Lovelace 14:32, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't remember it being an airport terminal.  I remember it being an actual jetty.  In 12 Monkeys it's an airport terminal.  I'm taking "Terminal" out for now.  --Chinasaur 05:20, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Meaning of the title 

message: How is this: 
When air flight was first introduced, airplanes would taxi up to a concrete walkway build onto the runway that was at the level of the entryway to the plane. As planes changed over time, airports were forced to change to movable walkways and staircases to accommodate ever increasing diversity. 
relevant to anything related to this movie?  Does the title of the slideshow ah I mean movie mean airplane walkway?  Meaning is the translation of "la jetee" believed to refer to a (water) pier or the walkway used to board a plane?  And if it is, can we just say that and not get into the history of airplane boarding (especially since this snippet, out of context, is of negligible value)?  Too, the end of the last sentence (in the passage above) makes no sense.  What exactly is "ever increasing [sic] diversity"?  Are we now using politically correct language when referring to changes in commercial-airline boarding policy?  
However -- don't bother rewording just that one sentence, because I'm inclined to remove the entire passage unless someone can tell me why anything about airplanes is even in this article.

message: Via WP:LINKVIO and WP:YOUTUBE, I am removing the link to the complete film hosted on Google Video. The copyright status of the work should be determined before including this link. Since the film was made after 1923, there is reasonable doubt that it is in the public domain. --NilsTycho (talk) 07:17, 6 November 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I was wondering too why it's so easy to see the complete film anywhere on the internet. Is it public domain, or nobody complains about it? 92.144.58.63 (talk) 20:46, 22 December 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Nobody complains about it. YouTube is full of literally millions of copyright violations like this. E.g. virtually any music video ever made can be found in full-length form on there.  I'm not really sure why Google (YouTube's owner) hasn't been sued into the ground, but whatever: It's not WP's job to help them infringe.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  04:12, 5 August 2015 (UTC)

replies: text: Philosophically, I tend to agree, but that doesn't affect Wikipedia's WP:COPYRIGHT rules, the particulars of which were handed to us from WP:OFFICE and aren't subject to editor-community consensus override. Think of this as association football. You can't play it by American football or rugby or Australian rules football codes no matter how much you might prefer those other rulesets. If you want to be a copyright rebel, I'm sure you can find the torrent sites. Use with care. LOL.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  02:28, 6 August 2015 (UTC)

An HTML comment under the heading at La Jetée#Interpretation read ". I've removed the comment from the article, as whether to rename and re-scope a section is a talk page matter.

thread_title:  Interpretation section 

message: The La Jetée#Interpretation section is relying upon an unreliable self-published source, someone's personal film blog, FilmsLie.com. I don't see any evidence that this is a multi-author publication with an editorial board, nor any independent sources suggesting this is a renowned blog by a subject-matter expert. It just some random guy's film-related essays and other writings.  So, the extended block quotation from this site should simply be removed.  — SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽ʌⱷ҅ᴥⱷʌ≼  04:01, 5 August 2015 (UTC)
