Talk:Howard Roberts

message: So far the biography is basically an outline of his work career. There's no mention of his family other than a final note that his wife was also interested in musical curiculum. Who were his parents? Any children? Dates of birth, death, marriage?
And, the discography needs a lot of work... which may in this case be literally never-ending, there is so much to research here. Andrewa 00:53, 13 January 2006 (UTC)

thread_title: What's still needed

message: Anecdotes abound regarding Howard Roberts's amazing span of work. I read in a guitar magazine in the early 1980's that the great Al Caiola told Howard that he thought Howard was "the most recorded guitarist" at that time. 
Howard responded, "No, Al, it's you who is the most recorded. I was on a flight in South Africa, and the music on the airplane was one of your tunes. When the flight landed and I entered the terminal, the music playing there was 
another one of your tunes". Some of the Howard Roberts stories must have a factual basis. Al Caiola is still alive, I notice. Anybody know Al?
I agree that his personal life needs illumination as well. Rainbow-five (talk) 19:50, 18 December 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: First on Mars 

message: I have moved this here until the issue can be resolved:
The alien machines in RCoM were not the same props used in "War of the Worlds" although they were similar in general outline. The RCoM versions were smaller (about 24 inches across), made of wood and the belly contours were changed. The original "War of the Worlds" war machines were made of copper and were 48 inches from tip to tip.
I've looked around and found "sources" saying they were recycled and others that say they were new. Clarityfiend (talk) 03:07, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Prop origin 

message: It seems to be that Friday speaks Nahuatl or something that sounds very similar. It would be good to confirm or discard it. --Magnvss (talk) 05:31, 31 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Friday's Language

message: Production
Many of the Mars scenes were filmed in Death Valley National Park, California, at Zabriskie Point, Ubehebe Crater, and the Devil's Golf Course.
The alien mining ships are very similar in design to the Martian war machines in the 1953 version of The War of the Worlds. It is unclear whether they were recycled props or new models. Byron Haskin also directed the earlier film.
These ships are often confused with the aliens' space craft, but this is incorrect. Draper sees a single ship land and depart. The ships that repeatedly blast away at the planet's surface are apparently the aliens' version of mining equipment.
In Ib Melchior's original screenplay, Friday was from a planet called Yargor in the Alpha Centuri star system. Much of Friday's Yargorian dialogue was fully scripted in his "native tongue". For the film, however, Victor Lundin altered the lines to a dialect mirroring Mayan phrases and terminology. [1] For example, Friday says that Mars is called "Huehuetenango" in his language. Huehuetenango is a city in Guatemala. Ib Melchior worked on a prior science fiction film, the low budgeted Journey to the Seventh Planet.
When the aliens are seen directing the mining operations from which Friday escapes, they are wearing spacesuits similar to those worn by the astronauts in George Pal's 1950 film Destination Moon. Director Haskin and Pal collaborated on a number of science fiction films throughout the fifties and sixties.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.119.44.71 (talk) 10:14, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title: Unsourced

message: Seriously, I have also heard that Haskin recycled the alien props from WOTW, but they are a recycled design, along with sound effects, in any respect.

text: Looking back at the history of edits to the page, it was very minor, but conventional up until Saga City's edit on 06 July 2006. The vast bulk of the current version was then added on 11 August by Geofjarvis. The pivotal change is the edit of 11:08 that day, which adds a vast swathe of material, which was then amended over the course of that and the next day, including the deletion of large chunks of what had been added at 11:08. Most pertinent is the removal of two paragraphs in the edit of 11:20 on 11 August. Together these paragraphs deal with events completely unrelated to the film, which took place in 1998-2000. To me, this looks suspisciously like someone's undergraduate dissertation on the film! Although referenced in places, I do think this constitutes original research to a quite unacceptable degree.

text: Use the title more commonly recognized by English readers; normally this means the title under which it has been released in cinemas or on video in the English-speaking world. Normally, this will be an English language title that is recognized across the English-speaking world; however, sometimes different English-speaking countries use different titles, in which case use the most common title, and give the native and alternate English title(s) afterward.

message: Please refer to :Category:Film articles by quality. This article needs at least a good plot section and something on reception by the public or critics, to become class start. Hoverfish 22:58, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

message: Production, para 3: "the first aircraft to break the sound barrier was the rocket-powered Bell X-1 flown by Chuck Yeager of the United States Air Force in 1947” - five years before this film was released. But only with the help of a crucially important technical feature developed by British research and donated to the US: the all-moving vertical tail. The British programme to develop a manned supersonic plane was abandoned at a relatively late stage in 1946 in favour of missile research. The film’s central premise is thus not simply a chauvinistic conceit. See Prototypes, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miles_M.52 Perhaps this needs to be acknowledged by more than a footnote.

thread_title:  NPOV 

message: The film was released in April 1982. Its release coincided with a peak in the international disarmament movement, and the film received much wider distribution than was the norm for politically-oriented documentaries. It rapidly became a cult classic, and greatly influenced documentary filmmaking.
The UK premiere screening in the British House Of Commons in October 1982 tied the film to then ongoing debate in the UK about the deployment of the cruise missile against the perceived Soviet threat. The film was also screened at the London Film Festival and nominated for a BAFTA award. The film was released on home video in the UK in 1983 by Virgin Video (VVA 028).
An illustrated book based on the film was published by Ballantine Books shortly after the film's release, and a soundtrack album was issued by Rounder Records. This documentary is heavily sampled and referenced to on the KMFDM album, Don't Blow Your Top.

Whilst a clustered solution spreads the load across multiple servers, there's no requirement anywhere that the servers be virtualized.
