Talk:Josie and the Pussycats (film)

message: "In line with its theme of subliminal advertising, it is arguable that the inordinate degree of product placement in the movie constitutes a running joke. Almost every scene features a mention of one or more famous brands, including the likes of Motorola and Starbucks. None of the advertisement was paid promotion by the represented brands, it was inserted voluntarily by the filmmakers."
Is there documentation for this? If so, it's beyond "arguable" -- in fact, it's pretty much inarguable.

message: I don't think the supposed "cult status" of this film has been shown properly shown by reliable sources. Despite the section heading only one source actually uses the term "cult film", the other sources in the section do not. That the film has a Legacy and that following many years later doesn't quite add up to the same thing as "cult status" IMO. I think the section would be better if it was retitled and explored the later reviews a bit more instead. -- 109.79.176.51 (talk) 01:52, 2 February 2020 (UTC)

:In game-playing, the minimax algorithm is the optimal form of such heuristic search.
Uh, really? Optimal in what sense? It's true that if you explore the entire tree, then minimax will find the best strategy playing against a perfect opponent. But that's just correctness, not optimality. When there are heuristics involved (as in this article), I don't see how there can be any formal concept of optimal, and I doubt that minimax meets even informal ones.

message: There is a lot of talk in fiction about illegally moving cash out a country by using a lot of mules with each mule carrying a legal sum of cash for customs declaration.  In other words, the individual mules are not breaking the law.

message: According to the references already shown in this article and to the definition for Body Packing in the 2018 edition of MeSH (Medical Subject Heading), to be published later this year, the concealing of drugs (and sometimes other items) is performed WITHIN the gastrointestinal tract or other body orifice, and not OUTSIDE the body. For that matter, I have changed this word in the article. Swallowing is, thus, one kind of body packing. --Arthur A Correa Treuherz (talk) 15:46, 4 August 2017 (UTC)

If so then this would match as she was indeed Rudolph's first cousin and the daughter of a Portuguese Infanta but it would seem that her age was likely to be a greater obstacle to her marriage to Rudolph than her status as a first cousin.  If this is the case then a correction of the second name and link to the relevant web page would seem a positive addition, however if not then it would really help to have the full and proper details of this potential bride whom I can only assume must have been a second or third cousin.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.11.104.107 (talk) 11:25, 20 September 2018 (UTC)

: Definitely! I was shocked when I first spotted it, I thought that I would puke, never in my life have I read such a shitty article on Wikipedia!  O.K., I think I have removed the most obnoxious marketing shit and disgusting weasel words. Maybe I hurt the article a little, but at least it is somewhat readable now. However, I'd like to ditch it completely in favour of the exact translation of the Polish version. If you understand Polish, just check it out. In its enumeration, it is very concise and contains much more information than this obnoxious advertisement. Besides, I like the program, since it contains a lot of features, however, it also contains a lot of bugs. E.g., at least in former versions, when loaded esp. with menay small files, it would often crash, which meant stopped downloading. Sometimes the files were not properly renamed, or were saved in the wrong place. While many of the bugs may have been fixed, it still leaks GDI handles, which may be fatal for other programs as well, esp. on Windows 2000, which has a system-wide limit of 2^14. 78.99.211.122 (talk) 16:33, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
