Talk:Chappaqua (film)

message: I'm looking at the soundtrack album before me and see no mention whatsoever of a Philip Glass (or Phil Glass, as IMDB claims he was credited), and much talk in the inside flap (let alone the huge cover credit) about Ravi Shankar, including the line "Original music composed and directed by Ravi Shankar."  IMDB just lists Glass as "music supervisor", whatever that means. Perhaps Glass was the guy that was transcribing melodies as Shankar hummed them? There was such a guy mentioned in the inside flap text, but not by name. But the text of this wikipedia entry currently implies that Glass had a composing role, whereas the soundtrack album makes no such implication. Or perhaps there is music by Glass in the film that's not included in the soundtrack? OmarGosh (talk) 02:57, 3 April 2012 (UTC)

thread_title:  Habitat 

message: In Portland, Oregon we had problems with the tent caterpillar. We never put out a bucket of water next to the tree for them to drown in. That just somehow sounds like it wouldn't work and there's no reference for it. Instead, we used long wooden poles we kept in the basement wrapped in cloth at one end, to get rid of them. During the tent caterpillar season we would douse the wrapped end of the pole with gas and light it on fire. Then, using the pole, we'd reach up into the tree and burn the caterpillar's tent.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.119.151.233 (talk) 06:56, 21 September 2013 (UTC)

message: I have checked the catalogues against SIMBAD and corrected two errors:

* The CCDM reference was missing a J; it appears that the J is needed for some reason.
* I also could not find the GCTP reference in SIMBAD but I chose not to change this.

Talk:Watermelon Man (film)/Archive 1

message: Just saw this on Retroplex.  Gerber isn't actually arrested when he leaves the house, but he is apprehended by police while making his usual race against the morning bus, because the white people he runs past assume he is engaged in some felony.  The bus driver vouches for him and he gets to work okay, though his boss soon schemes to turn him into an unscrupulous "negro insurance" specialist.  To the character's credit, he refuses to sell black families insurance they don't need and gives them sound investment advice even when it delays immediate profit for his firm.  This is our first indication that Gerber's bigotry does not run deep; he just does the right thing without deciding to.  Later that day, Gerber is refused admittance to a whites-only club where he'd arranged (by phone) to meet one of his white clients, which leads to another confrontation with the police.
Also, the Norwegian secretary who seduces Gerber is not his own, she's only part of the secretarial pool he walks through every morning. His own secretary rather takes his change in stride.  The Norwegian's lust for Gerber is revealed to be a different form of bigotry in a scene revealing more of Gerber's unsuspected depth. Also, he does not so much quit his job as get fired when he refuses to sell unnecessary insurance. After a montage implying that the best job even a well-educated black man can get is at a garbage dump, Gerber comes home to find the phone harassers in his living room, intent on buying him out of their neighborhood. "It's nothing personal" they insist.  It's after this and his wife's insistence that she can't sleep with him anymore that he visits the Norwegian and comes home to find his wife has left him.  
The final shot of the film is of Gerber and a roomful of other black men practicing karate with makeshift shinais (mop handles, etc.).  Godfrey Cambrige is freeze-framed in a close-up, roaring, with the shinai looking like a spear.  Fade to black, baby.  Asat (talk) 08:22, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
