Talk:After Hours (film)

message: The plot outline needs a lot of work.  The last paragraph is poorly written, and it's missing the last 1/3 to 1/2 of the film.  I have corrected a character error in the last paragraph: The bartender was "Thomas 'Tom' Schorr", performed by John Heard. There is a lot more work needed than I am willing to commit to, however. Good luck! --beeboo 07:26, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Plot Outline Needs Work 

message: I've removed the plot summary.  It was assembled by one single editor in a number of edits during early 2006, and at 2,000 words constituted an almost blow-by-blow account of the film's plot.  I suggest that, rather than try to edit that down to something useful, it would be better to start again, and provide a brief, encyclopedic summary of the plot. --Tony Sidaway 19:22, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Depois-de-horas-poster01.jpg

message: 1) This phrase: "A mob of homosexuals"... what is this 1950? 
2) "giving it a happy ending" Well, he wasn't torn limb from limb by the mob, but I didn't think that ending was particularly happy. That was what I would call an ambiguous ending.

replies: text: It was made and set in the 1980s. Not sure what relevence this has to the mob of homosexuals, and why you changed it (incorrectly) to "punk rockers". 109.176.209.128 (talk) 20:44, 5 September 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Two of the guys in Tom's apartment building who accused Paul of being the burglar did look like homosexuals (i.e., the guy in the sleeveless shirt, and the other one with the mustache in plaid), but I agree if whoever added this calls them all "a mob of homosexuals" based on that, they're being an idiot. ---------User:DanTD (talk)  14:54, 15 August 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Two things 

message: "When he returns the sculpture to the apartment, he finds Marcy has committed suicide while Kiki and a stout man named Horst (Will Patton) have already left to go to Club Berlin, a nightclub."
This is incorrect. When Paul returns the sculpture to the apartment, Kiki and Horst have NOT left yet. The only reason Paul gets into the apartment is because Kiki throws down the keys with her mouth (she is tied up). He gets into the apartment to find Kiki and Horst role playing/in bondage.--Tabbboooo (talk) 03:18, 6 April 2013 (UTC)

thread_title:  Bollywood reference 

message: In the production section of the article it says "The original title of the circulating screenplay that was read by Scorsese and the producers was Surrender Dorothy". The reference provided does not actually cite Surrender Dorothy, instead it refers to a previous sentence. The names I found for the original script are "Lies" and "Night in Soho".

replies: text: Good detective work.  You should change the article to reflect that.  Don't forget to cite your sources when you do so.  I did a quick look through a few Google searches, and I didn't find anything about "surrender Dorothy" other than quotations.  It was added in  and did not cite any sources.

message: Claims about alleged plagiarism and subsequent law suit, in both Joseph Minion and here, based on: one blog entry by Andrew Hearst, who says this in intro:"(t)he bare details have been mentioned online, but only in passing, and as far as I know the scandal has never been officially reported anywhere.", whose claim is recycled by another blog used here and/or in our film's article, then Gawker unsigned short entry based on these hearsay blog claims and on our article (!?), further on Salon article which says nothing about the claims, and book refed as page=151-154, which only points to a chapter titled Joseph Minion, without specific page where the claims are suppose to be affirmed. These edits are in clear violation of our guidelines on WP:BLP in Minion's, and in clear violation of WP:RS (and in relation, of WP:OR) here - read it now, and don't revert unless you can find WP:RS.--౪ Santa ౪99° 12:10, 23 October 2021 (UTC)
