Talk:Clueless

message: I've added a link to the synopsis for Clueless at moviecheat.com. This is my site, it's pure content; I've checked the rules and it shouldn't be a problem to add this link as long as it's relevant and informative. I think it absolutely is; anyone who wants a another take at this movie will find it interesting. But if anyone truly has a problem, feel free to revert.Rasi2290
"career breaking role by actress Alicia Silverstone" -- "career breaking"?
:I'm not sure what you odn't understand about this comment. This was the role that brought Silverstone to the attention of the world as an actress; it was the first role for which she recieved huge critical acclaim, and it skyrocketed her to popularity. Ergo, it broke her career: it was a career breaking role. user:Easterbradford
:A Google search shows only a handful of results for the odd phrase "career-breaking."  Where it exists (mostly on a Star Wars board) the term is used in a derogative fashion.  The correct word is "breakthrough" as in "breakthrough role."
:Or perhaps "career-making."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Iamandrewssoul (talk • contribs) 08:29, 23 May 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  [[Alicia Silverstone]] 

message: Did someone copy the cast section in this article off a DVD cover? It's very...advertisey.
Also, there are only two characters listed.

replies: text: Howdy! I'm an editor assigned to this page for a class I am taking. I am planning to continue working on the characters section! I feel that it still seems a bit like an advertisement like you all are saying. I'm excited to start. --Candles and candy (talk) 22:51, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Cast section 

message: I removed the trivia section, since it was too long and full of irrelevant stuff.  The following items aren't useless, but are in need of integration into the text, and sourcing:
*The films that Christian watches on video with Cher - Some Like It Hot (1959) and Spartacus (1960) - provide clues to his sexual orientation. The first movie deals with cross-dressing men. The second includes the famous scene where a Roman master (Laurence Olivier) tries to seduce his male servant (Tony Curtis). Additionally, Cher says Christian brought those movies over because he has a "thing" for Tony Curtis.
*Alicia Silverstone never auditioned for the part of Cher; she had coffee with Amy Heckerling and was offered the role.
*Sarah Michelle Gellar was offered the role of Cher, but couldn't do it due to a contract on All My Children.
The rest was too tangential to be useful in the article.  Mangojuicetalk 20:27, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removed trivia section 

message: Since the trivia section is gone, I am hesitant to add a popular culture reference section: the music video for Iggy Azela's "Fancy" is based on (to the point of recreating scenes) of Clueless. Should this be added, and where?  FaulkTest (talk) 19:37, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
thread_title: Music video adaptation of Clueless: Cultural references, Trivia, or just leave out?

message: Ought we to draw out the Emma parallels more clearly? E.g. Cher=Emma; Tai=Harriet Smith; Josh=Knightley; Elton=Elton; Christian=Frank Churchill; homosexuality=secret marriage to Jane Fairfax, etc.?  john k (talk) 06:52, 17 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Emma parallels 

message: This article is sorely lacking in sources. Much is made of its 'breakthrough' status and its effect on youth culture, none of which is sourced and sounds like the opinion of a fan of the movie. Please supply 3rd party sources that detail its influence to avoid having the sections chopped. Ashmoo (talk) 14:38, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Sources

message: I have rewritten many of the entries in the List of characters in Clueless page, having previously created this by moving some content across from the Characters section of the film's page (this article). Whilst it has been suggested that the character list page be moved back into this page, I feel I should point out that the list page includes characters and information relevant to both the film and TV show, and is in line with other pages which provide extensive lists of characters from fictional works and universes, including those which have existed in multiple media. Today's rewrite of the character list page provides clearer, more comprehensive information about the characters, in a setting (separate page) which can go into more detail (compared to a small section within a larger page on a broader related topic). I did reduce the size of the character bio's on this article as part of the creation of the list page, and further changes to the bio's on this page may make the list page more relevant, with the main page providing a brief summary ('pen pictures') of the characters and the list page providing more comprehensive information.Crowdman555 (talk) 10:04, 9 October 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Howdy! I am assigned to this Wiki page for a class that I am taking. I am so happy for the edits that you made in 2009 on this page. I still think that the characters section can be changed at the sentence level. The tone does not seem to be neutral or as professional as other film articles. --Candles and candy (talk) 22:53, 23 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Character list

message: The following line about Justin Walker needed a citation: " He is based on the Emma character Frank Churchill (who was not gay, but was secretly engaged to another)". I found a first edition of Austen's "Emma" and the relevant evidence is the following quotation in Volume III, page 195: as Knightley recounted in his conversation with Mr. Weston to Emma, "Oh! he told me all about it; that Jane Fairfax and Mr. Frank Churchill are to be married, and that they have been privately engaged to each other this long while". This statement proves that Frank and Jane were privately engaged through Volumes I and II, and it is only once Frank's aunt dies that he is able to reveal their engagement to his father, Mr. Weston, who tells Knightley.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by JulieD27 (talk • contribs) 20:31, 19 January 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Citation Added for Justin Walker/Frank Churchill Comparison in "Cast" Section 

message: Howdy! I've been assigned this Wiki page for a course that I am enrolled in. I'm hoping to make this page even better by making the tone more appropriate and professional at the sentence level, specifically in the plot and characters sections. I'm also wanting to simplify the adaptations section and wanting to make the lead section fit the film manual format. Additionally, a table for the soundtrack information may be beneficial. Also, does anyone have any information or sources concerning the remake? I think that there needs to be more content about this. Please let me know if you have any other ideas or suggestions. I'm excited to contribute! I will be posting changes on my sandbox first.  --Candles and candy (talk) 05:07, 24 February 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I found that many "good articles" formatted the characters by putting breaks in between the character names and the descriptions. Is this change okay? I also added headings in the "legacy" section because the legacy of Clueless is multifaceted and now future editors can come in and add information. Please let me know what you think. I am also going to work on the tone of the article this week. Please check out my sandbox before I post future edits! My Clueless Sandbox--Candles and candy (talk) 15:34, 25 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Article Tone & Organization

message: I've worked on this article for a few weeks now. Here is a summary of the most important changes that I have made: 
*I added images to this Wiki page. Previously, the only image was the movie poster.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Candles and candy (talk • contribs) 16:29, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
thread_title: Update

message: 'Faithfulness to the Text' seems like the wrong section heading for what the content is (I will correct the capitalization). This is not a straight adaptation of 'Emma' to start with, so has no need to be faithful to the text. Furthermore, this isn't what the section is about, anyway! I'm also removing the empty header 'Plot Similarities/ Differences'. Any information on this matter should be merged into 'Faithfulness to the text' when someone gets that far.

thread_title:  Faithfulness to the Text 

message: When I saw the movie on the big screen, I distinctly remember it saying in the credits that it was based on Emma, by Jane Austin. But in the streaming version available on Netflix, it doesn't say that. Is my memory failing me? Does anybody know what happened? I know that movies on DVD are often slightly different from the big-screen versions, but I don't know why. —MiguelMunoz (talk) 04:22, 7 June 2020 (UTC)
