Talk:The Wicker Man (2006 film)

message: wait, so wikipedia now details every time some random person does a parody on youtube? How exactly is this noteworthy? There are numerous parodies of every movie ever made, on youtube. Am I alone in thinking this is self-promotion or needless fluff? 72.65.102.76 (talk) 17:09, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

message: What is this message doing beneath the plot summary of this film:
Note: This movie should not be taken as literal fact in the judgments of modern Pagan religious faiths and many would agree the film does not represent modern religious beliefs, regardless of any historical resemblance in past centuries.
This has no place in the plot summary--at all.  I won't remove, as I don't feel that I have the authority to do so.  But someone who edits this page on a regular basis should. 65.7.138.84 23:28, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Having just seen the movie earlier today, there's no indication the bees on the island are africanized or killer bees.  Cage's character is just allergic to bee stings.
:That's fine.  I originally wrote "killer bees" based on this article, but if the movie didn't actually identify them as killer bees, I can accept that.  They're probably killer bees to the protagonist, anyway. :) --Erik 23:19, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

message: I did some cinema-hopping after a film I had paid for, and slipped into the beginning of this movie. I wondered what it was about, read that it was filmed by Neil LaBute, and therefore stayed for another couple of minutes - until I really had to go because it became THAT stupid and the same time boring that I had to leave. I wonder what got Neil LaBute into that project? I only knew him as an interesting theatre playwright. You never know. Probably money... Solobratscher 06:12, 28 November 2006 (UTC)

message: "In addition, Cage's character is not a virgin, like the protagonist from the original film, as it was thought that the idea of an adult virgin in modern American society was too far-fetched."
Is this intended to be a joke, or perhaps somebody's speculation about the producer's motives, or is this an actual cited reason?  It seems preposterous to suggest that adult virgins don't exist in modern American society. If I had to guess, I would assume that it's a matter of Hollywood trying to market to their perceived audience, as in "Like, Cage's character can't be a virgin, man.  That'd be like totally lame. Everybody would think he was a total dork", or some such. Of course, encyclopedias aren't a place for speculation.  A citation might help here.--220.29.92.4 16:21, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

message: Switching out for "I don't believe in remakes. You can make a follow up to a film, but to remake a movie with such history and success just doesn't make sense to me." from here. Not sure why the original ever made it into the article, and in fact am only substituting because from my googling the British media assures me that Christopher Lee was critical of the movie instead of just indifferent to the whole thing.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.52.155.125 (talk) 03:34, 24 July 2013 (UTC)
