May 26[edit]

what colour is this[edit]

What exactly is the colour of the balloons?

I would say they are around #955 and #566. It is difficult to get an exact color because the light is causing the color to be dark around the edges and transitioning to white in the center. So, I picked a color about halfway between the black and white parts of the balloons. -- kainaw 12:23, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Signatures go at the end of your post. It is not a matter of what sites are legal, it is a matter of what movies are legal to download. If a movie has a copyright (which is pretty much all of them), it is illegal to download without permission from the movie's studio. Ian.thomson (talk) 15:06, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, I did find this: The Internet Archive's Movie section. It has a lot of movies that are in the public domain, and are therefore legal to download. Ian.thomson (talk) 15:09, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
YouTube has a number of movies that are apparently public domain at http://www.youtube.com/movies. They ALSO rent movies for one-time viewing, so make sure you're watching the free ones. The free movies appear to be at http://www.youtube.com/movies?fl=f&pt=fm 216.93.212.245 (talk) 20:12, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What are the Twin Towers in New York City?[edit]

I've seen them twice on TV in the past week, in Spider-man 3 and in Glee. I've actually seen them many times on TV, but since I saw them twice in the past week I'll ask.

In both scenes where they were in the background this past week, the characters were on a bridge. I'm guessing it was in Central Park. The towers aren't particularly easy to see, but they are a classic style of architecture and sort of resemble the Empire State Building from a distance, in that they get smaller toward the top. Unlike the World Trade Center, whose towers were just straight.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 18:56, 26 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
