Talk:Let's Make Love

message: from the article: 'The direction was further criticized because Monroe's appearance had changed very noticeably during the halt in production and under Cukor the differences had been exacerbated by poor costume, hair and makeup decisions, and by poor direction of the musical numbers.'
I think there is no reference for these remarks, and having seen the movie, I'm at a loss about at least some of this. I note that these were the sophisticated hands of "woman's director" George Cukor, whose next movie was 'My Fair Lady', for example. I mean, if 'poor direction of the musical numbers' is true, then okay. But exactly how? This is, after all, Hollywood sophisticate George Cukor, of whom we expect wit and urbanity, and rich production values, and the rich production values, at least, are there to see. Do the musical numbers look a bit forced, or not sound finished, or what? I choose to question the point about 'costume' decisions, in particular. For example, at one point there is a tailored orange wool wrap skirt. What could possibly be the issue? There is a certain John Moore black silk cocktail dress which actually, Marilyn Monroe wore at numerous ceremonies, events etc. It is believed to have been one of her favorite dresses. What's the issue? With 'costume' decisions and 'appearance'? Well, there are also some black silk tights. And I think the point being made here, too obliquely, is that she flaunts her body, but she was a little chunky, and by that I mean, heavy for her. I don't know how 'hair' can come into it, given that Marilyn Monroe was known for her shining clean, bleached blonde hair. What, could she change her hair? Was domesticity an option, here? Like a housewife? The white-blonde hair is intended to be, I think, more or less,  dazzling in its brilliance and  is signaling her star status. I mean, look, she slides down a pole and croons  Mary Martin's striptease number "My Heart Belong to Daddy". With lyrics filled with discreetly risqué double entendres. Anyways, I just find the parts of the article that I have quoted to be rather vague and gassy. Say that she's a little chunky if that's what you want to say..though I admit that it occurs to me that even if you want to say she is overweight at this point, I still may quibble about what is the right word to describe her figure and in any case, she has the look down to perfection. When Monroe first meets Montand she says 'You're French!' then turns and reaches for something, revealing her large ass in tights. I would argue or just let's call it a reminder, that the 'belly and backside bulging' thing can possibly work, actually. I mean, the rest of the movie being lightweight fluff that doesn't really mean anything anyways, right? Montand, for his part, leers at her and responds 'Very much so.' She ain't supposed to be Cyd Charisse. DanLanglois (talk) 10:07, 8 December 2017 (UTC)

replies: text: I now intend to redirect this page. After thinking about it, I do not wish to waste my time bringing these articles upto so-called Wikipedia policies which I strongly disagree with. Major characters from major TV series are, in my eyes, notable without "real-world information", and while that information is great for older programmes, like UpDown, it is much harder to get. This means that well-known characters from older years got airbrushed out as "non-notable" and Wikipedia turns into a very modern-centric website, which is deeply wrong. But anyway, I will instead move this article to my own Word documents and may one day create my own website. --UpDown (talk) 21:14, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Talk:Cirencester and District League

message: This page previously stated that the league had seven divisions, but I could find no verification of this.  The league's FA Full Time page only shows two divisions, and I doubt that a town the size of Cirencester could sustain a Saturday league with over 100 teams.  Nonetheless, if anyone does have verification of the existence of other divisions, feel free to add them - ChrisTheDude 12:00, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

message: This article states that the champions of Division One can be promoted to Division One of the Cheltenham League. As Division One of the Cheltenham League is at Level 14 in the English football league system, the higher division of this league should really be at Level 15, and not 14, as currently stated. I propose making the appropriate edits to implement this change. Drawoh46 (talk) 06:16, 7 June 2016 (UTC)

message: I'm confused as to why it has been proposed that this article be deleted.
Shane Oakley is an artist who is already mentioned in various other articles on Wikipedia (such as Matt Brooker and Albion (comics)). I myself am an author who has worked with Shane and decided to create the page in order to fill in the gaps for people wishing to know more about him and his work.
People have created entries about myself and my writing partner (Leah Moore) a long time ago and there seems to have been no supposition that they were "non-notable, probable vanity" despite the fact that their content was remarkably similar to this article.

message: OK, I changed this to an article because I searched for SCORE (the acronym), and was re-directed to a page for an album. I didn't think to search for the full name of the organization. However, after creating this, I did a search for score (all lower-case), as I wanted to go back and see the article about the album, and discovered a disambiguation page which included a link to an article about the SCORE organization, with its name spelled out. So.... I'm changing this to a re-direct to that article, rather than to the disambig page, since this will only come up with someone searching specifically for the acronym SCORE (all upper-case). If wiser heads believe it should re-direct to the disambig page, by all means feel free. Darguz Parsilvan 12:39, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Kyanka syndrome

message: I don't know so much about psychiatry, but in psychology the term 'persecution complex' is rarely used anymore except in discussion of the history of psychology, instead people normally talk more specifically about the various forms of paranoia or compulsive behaviour elements of pathologys that could each conceiveably fall into the wider category of a 'persecution complex'. Much Like 'superiority complex'(Social aloofness) or 'Hollywood Complex'(distorted view of the US), the term 'persecution complex' now sees much use in debate, on subjects as diverse as Isreal's forgein policy and religion in schools, as a rhetorical technique to belittle someone's real or perceived oppression. I've tried to write a new section for the article detailing this usage under "Use in rhetoric", but I'm having problems with citations. My library lacks any sources on rhetorical techniques and it's not really something people write about alot. Do you think examples of it in usage would serve adequately as proof of this usage? or is it not widespread enough to get away with a mention without a citation on the subject itself?

The section also states that Caras Galadhon was "lit by green flames". Although the city "climb[ed] up like a green cloud" (which I had assumed referred to the foliage), it was described in LotR as lit by "lights ... [like] stars ... lamps ... silver lamps". BTW I propose to add ladders to the stairs.
Finally it's stated that construction occurred "inside" trees. I think this should read "in": "inside" a tree is what happened to Merry & Pippin. Cheers 111.220.230.229 (talk) 05:21, 15 August 2016 (UTC)
