Talk:Heavy Metal (film)

message: Am I wrong or was Sammy Hagar's song "Heavy Metal" used for the original theatrical release but replaced on the VHS and DVD release?  I seem to remember that song for the opening sequence, but its been replaced by some other (really crappy) song for the home versions of the movie. If this is the case (needs confirmation first), we should add the info to the article. — Frecklefoot | Talk 14:21, Sep 22, 2004 (UTC)
:No you are not wrong. Yes, yes it was used as the main theme song for the movie. WikiDon 15:53, 23 August 2005 (UTC)

text: Okay, I just saw the DVD version and it does not have Hagar's "Heavy Metal" for the opening sequence.  It's that crappy and generic song I mentioned earlier.  Someone doesn't have their facts straight. — Frecklefoot | Talk 00:30, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Why do we need the paragraph in the lede about the attempt to make a film of Burning Chrome?  It is in no way relevant to this article or this topic.  It might be interesting as a brief note in the article about that book, but it is irrelevant here. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 03:29, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

message: It's Cthulu spelled backwards. That can't be a coincidence, but I'm wondering if it still counts as original research. Should we link it to the Cthulu article? Briham (talk) 15:27, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: This has been removed and then added again.  It looks like original research to me.  It seems obvious what the writer's intentions were, but in the absence of a reference, it should not be in the article. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 16:49, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

message: Why do we need the individual songs listed by segment as well as in the soundtrack?  If no one objects, I will remove the songs from the plot section. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 14:06, 10 September 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: As no one has objected in the past month, I am removing the songs. ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 16:39, 10 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Pardon me for not checking the discussion page for this matter - as a matter of fact, I think their inclusion fits the guideline for encyclopedic material given that the film's soundtrack is at least as important as its cast. As the article is currently written, the songs should be included in the plot summary as long as that section is sub-divided into each short story/chapter - I'm going to revert for now, although if you find their inclusion particularly offensive for some reason I'd welcome some discussion on the matter. MalikCarr (talk) 08:08, 13 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: My opinion is that, as long as there is a section for the soundtrack, we do not need to repeat the song titles in the plot.  What do they add to an understanding of the story? ---RepublicanJacobiteThe'FortyFive' 14:35, 13 October 2010 (UTC)

text: The movie is an anthology with distinct chapters. These chapters are shaped by the music and the art, as described in the commentary on the movie. The soundtrack does not include every song, as noted in the section, nor does the soundtrack identify which chapters of the film are associated with specific songs. Additionally, the credits for the movie specifically break the list of songs by chapter, as opposed to normally listed in a "song section" of the credits. So it fits that a breakout of each chapter (as this entry does) would describe each section separately, including the music. The cast is listed in each chapter as well, as opposed to simply a "cast" section. Pejorative.majeure (talk) 01:15, 14 October 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the much more eloquent parsing of the argument I was going to make. If it wasn't for the large textural content in the Soundtrack section, I'd suggest that that portion should be removed in lieu of the individual listing per chapter/story as long as we're suggesting matters of redundancy should be addressed so aggressively. If pruning is to be done, the Soundtrack and Score sections should be merged - although, I feel the current content and layout is fine as it is given that it is perfectly verifiable and descriptive to the benefit of the article in question.
