Talk:Leaving Las Vegas

message: ===Second nomination===
This article failed good article nomination. This is how the article, as of January 16, 2007, compares against the  six good article criteria:
:1. Well written?: "Leaving Las Vegas has been filmed in super" should be "Leaving Las Vegas was filmed..."This sentence "Nicolas Cage received an Oscar for his role, while Elisabeth Shue and Mike Figgis received nominations for their work in this film." is redundant and poorly worded.The cast section should come after synopsis, and "VHS and DVD releases" should come after reception.
:2. Factually accurate?: A little light on references, but probably passable for a good article.  I didn't notice any errors (although I have never seen the movie).
:3. Broad in coverage?: The "Reception" heading needs more information on box office performance.There needs to be a section on the soundtrack.The "Difference from the novel" section is only one sentence; it needs to be expanded or elimated. Since this is just a good article (and not a featured article) I would just eliminate it.
:4. Neutral point of view?: Good job here.  The article remained POV with no endorsements or detractions of the film, just general commentary on critical response.
:5. Article stability? Good here.  No edit wars.
:6. Images?: Although in my opinion, it is unecessary, :Image:Leaving Las Vegas DVD cover.jpg doesn't have any source information, and so could potentially be deleted.
When these issues are addressed, the article can be resubmitted for consideration.  Thanks for your work so far.

thread_title: Second nomination

message: Problem: whilst this article is well written, most of the references relate to the film reviews. Not a lot of production or home release information is referenced. Please do so and resubmit the article. Wiki-newbie 20:02, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: First nomination

message: The DVD box claims "uncut, unrated version featuring explicit footage not seen in theatres"  but it's unclear whether this is true. Is the original theatrical release available on VHS? If so it would be interesting to get a comparison. --Mathew5000 07:12, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Incidentally, it looks like the film will be released in HD-DVD on 2007-03-26, but only in France, presumably Region 2 PAL: http://www.amazon.fr/Leaving-Las-Vegas-HD-DVD/dp/B000L42JQ8/. --Mathew5000 08:01, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  DVD release has additional unrated content? 

message: * Nicolas Cage researched his character by binge drinking and visiting many hospitalized career alcoholics. Elisabeth Shue associated with prostitutes and interviewed them on the strip in Las Vegas.
* Author John O'Brien, on whose novel this movie is based, committed suicide two weeks after the movie went into production. Director Mike Figgis contemplated abandoning the project, but decided the film would make a good memorial for O'Brien.
* Besides composing the score for the film, director Mike Figgis also played the trumpet and keyboards on the film's soundtrack.
* Director Mike Figgis also played one of the Polish mobsters in the film and is credited for the role.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Vince Klortho (talk • contribs) 11:01, 9 January 2014 (UTC)
