Talk:The Bride (1985 film)

message: From what I understand, The Bride (film) did not grab audiences as expected because the movie isn't a true horror movie.  It was advertised as being in the horror genre, but is actually a movie about the heart.  If you watch it with this idea in mind, I think you would really be satisfied with this movie.

:I don't think it's horror either - fits more into the fantasy genre.  I'm not sure what criteria they were using to put films in the Horror WikiProject. Aguerriero (ţ) (ć) (ë) 18:11, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Not a horror at all. 

message: I don't agree with the statement about the film being "schlock" being removed.  It is POV yes, but not mine; this was a (quite generous) summary of the film's critical reception, which is definitely appropriate for a film article.  See WP:FILM, the Reception heading.  The film was widely regarded as a piece of worthless garbage, and I was trying to make that point, citing two sources, without going overboard.  To the editor to removed it, can you please justify and address my points? Aguerriero (talk) 13:10, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not opposed to addressing criticism in the proper way.  Please see WP:NPOV and WP:WEASEL.  I would actually welcome *more* on the criticism, if done properly.  When mentioning criticism say *who* specifically made the criticism.  State opinion as opinion, not fact.  State what responses to the criticism were made to give balance. If you wish to shown an overall conclusion/summary of criticism from many critics (too many to name all), find somebody who made that summary/conclusion, and cite the source (stating the summarizer's identify in the body of the article).  The word "schlock" should almost always appear inside quotation marks, so nobody thinks it's Wikipedia's opinion.  A valid example is:  "'Film critic John Smith said 'This film was typical 80's horror schlock[1]'" with a an appropriate footnote and references section.  Just to be clear: I'm not opposed to mentioning criticism, nor do I wish to minimize criticism, or pretend there wasn praise, if there wasn't.       --Rob 15:54, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Cool, that makes sense.  I will work on gathering several sources and representing the criticism in a more neutral way.  It has been a challenge to find something good said about this film!  Cheers, Aguerriero (talk) 16:34, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Thebrideposter.jpg

message: Actually, the original monster DID have a name.  It was Adam, after the first man.  Because of this, and that Dr. Frankenstein had effectively created a "son", "Frankenstein" could refer to the mosnter himself, as well as the Doctor:  "Adam Frankenstein".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by MysticOrbot (talk • contribs) 23:56, 12 January 2011 (UTC)
