Talk:Testament (1983 film)

message: Following through Electromagnetic_pulse to Electromagnetic_bomb, I see that damages to electronics, "are usually not noticeable beyond the blast radius unless the device is nuclear or specifically designed to produce an electromagnetic pulse".
The functioning of the air raid sirens and radios should be taken as confirming evidence that the bombs near Hamlin were not EMP.

replies: text: Doesn't EMP have to be high altitude to affect a large area?  Besides, this movie wasn't meant to be accurate.  After all, in a nuclear war, there is no way the SF Bay Area would only suffer a single hit.  (Only one bomb was shown to go off.) Lighthope (talk) 05:02, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: EMP

message: I was thinking of adding a critics reception section to this article, several articles are here:
:http://news.google.com/archivesearch?um=1&cf=all&ned=us&hl=en&q=testament+%22Jane+Alexander.%22&cf=all
But I am dismayed at how much critics like this movie, I thought it was god awful. You never saw the effects of radiation, the mom/daughter talk about sex was uncomfortable, there were no survivors who traveled through the town. The deaths and crisis was so generic and bland, it could have been any disaster, the creators just placed a post nuclear label on it.  I kept wanting to go outside this town, or at least have the outside come in, and I waited vainly for 90 minutes for this, but was disappointed. The Day After is a million times better movie. 
:Threads and The Day After, the two post-nuclear-war movies that appeared around the same time as Testament, both took place entirely within relatively small geographic areas and in neither one did the characters have much information about the rest of the world.  One interpretation is that this reflects what likely would confront the survivors of an all-out nuclear war. Knowledge of the outside world would be lost as communications break down and travel becomes impossible. User:PROSA  —Preceding undated comment added 05:13, 1 June 2011 (UTC)

message: While Hamlin's specific location is never given, it is within a 90-minute drive from San Francisco, as Tom says in one of his telephone messages that he's leaving work and hopes to be home in an hour and a half.  Hamlin evidently is further away from the city than is Santa Rosa, which is about 50 miles from San Francisco, as Henry loses contact with Santa Rosa's ham radio operators even while conditions in Hamlin are at least semi-tolerable.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by PROSA (talk • contribs) 21:15, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Talk:Duck Soup (1933 film)

message: In the first sentence of the article the film is described as pre-code, but then later in the 'Other scenes and jokes' section, a joke is described which made fun of the code.  According to the [Hays_Code] article the code started in 1930, and this movie is 1933, so that surely means it can't be considered a pre-code movie?
I am WP:BOLD and removing pre-code from the first sentence.

replies: text: See Pre-Code Hollywood, which states: "Pre-Code Hollywood was the brief era in the American film industry between the widespread adoption of sound in pictures in 1929 and the enforcement of the Motion Picture Production Code censorship guidelines, popularly known as the 'Hays Code', in mid-1934. Although the Code was adopted in 1930, oversight was poor, and it did not become rigorously enforced until July 1, 1934, with the establishment of the Production Code Administration (PCA)." The Code existed in 1933, but it wasn't taken seriously until the following year. By common understanding, a 1933 film would be Pre-Code -- although not much in the Marx Brothers' pre-1934 films would have required changing had the Code been in place. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 03:15, 24 March 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Biltong

message: This almost seems to suggest that South Africans invented the process of drying meat and using various herbs to preserve it (as opposed to Europeans, who were apparently the only other ones who knew how to preserve meat, but who used brine instead of drying). Humans of all cultures have been aware of how to dry, smoke, salt, or otherwise preserve meat. It was a universal practice, needed by everyone who wanted to use all of the meat they killed, unless they were lucky enough to live in a place where game was abundant and not too large, so it could be killed an eaten fresh every day. Meat preserved for traveling was also a universal need at one point, and salt was a precious substance for most of history. I would also personally question whether Afrikaaners even invented this particular form of drying meat. More likely it was a practice they adopted from the natives who already lived there and who had just as much need to preserve their meat as the Afrikaaners (and also had to travel, well before the Dutch began fleeing British territory. This sounds like semi-mythologized 'history' such as favored by South African biltong producers. There is nothing special about biltong, it just happens to be one of the few forms of dried meat that survived as a snack food after the need for it vanished.

Talk:Tourism in France

message: and its tourist industry, are just Paris and the Alpine ski resorts. Vast tracts of the country are peppered with rental accommodation and small hotels which greet a faithful clientele from all over the world. For example, the English like to spend their summers in the Dordogne valley, the Spanish come to party in Biarritz and St Jean de Luz on the Basque coast ... and the Irish have made Lourdes their first home. In short: there is something for everyone in France and even if you stray off the beaten tourist track you will find good accommodation, a professional welcome and lots of good food.

Talk:Paul Mattick

message: I think its a misunderstanding that the United Workers Party (UWP)was Leninist.
In his obit for Mattick, Michael Buckmiller writes that the UWP was *a split from* the Leninist Proletarian Party.
Also in its manifesto "World-wide Fascism or Revolution" the UWP declared:
"'Back to Lenin' is in reality a meaningless, stupid phrase. A distinction between Leninism and Stalinism is not possible, as the latter is but the outcome of the former. [...] The question today has become Bolshevism or Communism." (p. 20)
Furthermore, Buckmiller writes that Mattick was not only trying to influence the UWP, but in fact part of it. Which makes perfect sense, as the UWP was featured on the frontpage of the International Council Correspondence.   —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.92.94.145 (talk) 16:26, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

message: This is the format which I propose to use for Census 2001 statistics for all Local Government Areas in New South Wales. It does need tidying up however, and I will get around to that shortly. Where I am currently, I do not have access to a calculator (either a physical one or one on the computer terminal), so I was unable to convert the raw numerical data to percentages. (It would help if the Australian Bureau of Statistics published their Census data in percentage format as well as raw numerical format, wouldn't it?) As soon as I have access to a calculator and/or another internet terminal, I will convert most of the statistics into more comprehensible percentages.
