Talk:Dirty Work (1998 film)

message: This is a funny and true bit of info. Artie Lange, co-star in dirty work, does an onstage comedy bit now where he asks the audience if anyone has seen the movie Dirty Work. Artie then walks up to the people that raised their hands and gives them 20 dollars while saying, "There's your refund!".

message: Chevy Chase, during an April 6, 2001 talk given at Harvard University as part of a lecture series on political humor, suggested that one possible reason for the film's box office flop was that the studio had cut several of the more outrageous gags out of the script before filming. One scene Chase specifically mentioned involved MacDonald and Lange taking revenge on a football team by leaving a plate of donuts in a conspicuous location before practice. The football team devours the pile of donuts, only to see at the bottom of the pile a Polaroid photo of MacDonald and Lange with their pants down and the donuts piled on their erect penises. (Source here, around the 1:00:00 mark) A version of the script's deleted scenes can also be found here

The Harvard IOP link has moved here. But the embed media link http://iopforum.harvard.edu:8080/ramgen/iopforumadr/2001/040601B.rm is dead.  Oh internet, is there nothing you can't lose? --Lexein (talk) 23:39, 17 July 2010 (UTC)

message: Trivia sections should be integrated into the text as prose.  I've done some of that in the past.  Unfortunately, people keep adding trivia back in.  Deletion of the section is not a solution.  The reason the trivia is added, is people don't see the information in the article.  So, to accomplish the ultimate goal of "no trivia", put in a little work and copyedit the trivia into coherent prose in the sections for production, reception, history, etc.  Straightup deletion of trivia which has citations is just rampaging, and will be counted as vandalism. --Lexein 01:13, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Followup: ditto. I will revert any undiscussed, non-consensus-reached deletion. A careful reading of WP:TRIVIA indicates the desirable retention of cited material which can be incorporated into the rest of the article. WP:IDONTLIKEIT is not a reason for wholesale deletions of sections with cited content. --Lexein (talk) 04:46, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: And WP:ILIKEIT and WP:OWN is not a reason for wholesale reversion. However, in the interest of compromise I have incorporated the cited information in appropriate places. Nikkimaria (talk) 14:27, 7 August 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I Find it funny that there is, in fact, no longer a Trivia section. AndrewJacksonLullaby (talk) 02:43, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: In a well integrated article, trivia sections aren't needed. The facts, if supported by RS, should be incorporated into the prose. I just prefer that some effort at integration occur rather than deletion.  Thx to Nikkimaria, for that. --Lexein (talk) 04:33, 11 April 2013 (UTC)
