Name of old video game

I am looking for the name of an old video game. It was on a computer, though I don't recall if it was an apple or what. I played it around 1990 and it was a third person shooter style game where you were in a maze kind of thing and had to kill rats and sometimes mice. Googlemeister (talk) 20:44, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

Are you sure it wasn't a first person shooter like Wolfenstein 3D? By third-person, do you mean that you viewed the levels from the side; or was it more like Tomb Raider? Comet Tuttle (talk) 04:27, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

• Perhaps the 1994 game Rats! --M@rēino 21:12, 27 February 2011 (UTC)

It could not be a game from 1994 because I played it in either 1990 or 1991 unless the 1994 game was a clone or variation on an earlier game. And it was definitely not 1st person, more along the lines of those old style arcade games where you move a figure around and basically have a top down view of part of the maze with your figure in the center.

Not turn based, the goal was to simply kill the rats and the squares things that rats and mice could come from. Very primitive graphics (think along the lines of frogger or space invaders). I don't think you had a life bar or anything, if a rat or mouse touched you, that was it. Googlemeister (talk) 17:17, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Theme Tunes

Two questions for Brits, really. I thought that Jean Michel Jarre's Oxygene IV was the theme tune to "Science All Around" when I was growing up. But I've just checked and it wasn't. So my questions are:

• What was the theme tune to Science All Around?
• What was Oxygene IV the theme tune to?

Is driving me mad, now! AndyJones (talk) 22:39, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

I can't answer you, but Oxygene IV was definitely what the future sounded like for me as a child in the Seventies! The other track that was also what the future sounded like is Magic Fly by Space. DuncanHill (talk) 22:45, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

This says Science All Around was composed by John Baker (Radiophonic musician). meltBanana 23:11, 25 February 2011 (UTC)

I believe it was the theme to "Where There's Life", which featured Dr Miriam Stoppard. --TammyMoet (talk) 09:19, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Yes indeed. It was the theme for that series. Incidentally "Where There's Life" was a weekly medical discussion programme from the early 1980s that aired on ITV in the slot before Coronation Street. They used to have debates about health related issues and show film of surgical procedures, etc, some of them quite gory I seem to recall. I'm guessing Oxygene IV was chosen as the theme because someone made a tenuous link with the subject. TheRetroGuy (talk) 17:05, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

I actually used to sing the phrase "Where there's life there's hope" to the Oxygene tune, which helped me remember what the show was called! --TammyMoet (talk) 22:53, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Movie reviews from personal sites

Hello,

I was unable to find what I consider to be a clear answer for this question. I have a personal site that I post some movie reviews on. Is it inappropriate to link to my own film reviews?

Thanks — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jotunar (talk • contribs) 00:01, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

If the reviews are your own opinions, then your site is not an appropriate link. If you are simply copying reviews from a reliable source, then why would we use your site rather then the original source? So, as a general rule, your own site is not considered a reliable source. The exception might come when many other reliable sources start taking about your site as a good source of reviews. One last thing: please do not be tempted to SPAM your site on Wikipedia - it will not increase your page ranking statistics, such activities will be quickly reverted and you could be blocked if you persist.

Red Dwarf: Rimmerworld - The Rimmerclones

The Vaccines Band - Post Break Up Sex influences

Since I first heard the song "Post break-up sex" by the Vaccines, it's been bugging me, as it sounds to me like another song, but I can't think which one! I read the wiki page that says it borrows heavily from the Ramones "The KKK took my baby away", but it seems there must be another one it's like, as well, as I hadn't heard that one. Or is the whole song just horrendously derivative? Any suggestions for songs that sound just like it, with different words would be much appreciated. If you haven't heard it and you want to have a listen, it's on Youtube. Snorgle (talk) 16:22, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Personally, I'd say that as well as borrowing shamelessly from "The KKK Took My Baby Away", it also borrows a lot from The Strokes, and has a section that is similar to Keane's "Somewhere Only We Know". Yes, it is horribly derivative, but that's what the kids like these days. Apparently. --Michig (talk) 18:59, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

The Keane song certainly sounds like it, and the Strokes do as well. Thanks for the input!Snorgle (talk) 21:38, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

Can you identify this music for string quartet?

Here's a sound clip. I'm not 100% sure it's a string quartet, though, but I count 4 instruments.

This is played by the musicians in a dining room in a scene from the 1985 film "Brewster's Millions" starring Richard Pryor and John Candy. It's a wonderful melody, and I already got confirmation from a reliable source that it wasn't composed by the film's composer, Ry Cooder. It's also obviously not Scott Joplin's "Paragon Rag", which the same string quartet is playing immediately on the next scene.

There's no soundtrack release for this movie, and the only soundtrack listing I can find is regarding the ending credits music.

Can anyone identify it? Thanks a ton! — Kieff | Talk 18:27, 26 February 2011 (UTC)

For me, it's just too short to get an aural handle on the melody. I guess if there was a longer excerpt, you'd have posted it. Sorry. -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 08:00, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

US TV ad featuring acrobatic toddlers

The ad is for Gerber Graduates (baby food). There's obviously some computer manipulation going on in this ad, but what, specifically ? I'm guessing that they filmed adults, or at least older kids, wearing toddler outfits and doing acrobatics, then mapped toddler faces onto them. One clue is that their bodies don't look fat enough to belong to toddlers. (They look like older kid's bodies.) StuRat (talk) 00:14, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Stellan Skarsgard's perfect English accent?

I was just very curious about how does a Swedish person, an adult who was born in Sweden and lives most of his life in Sweden, achieve such an almost perfect English (American) accent like Stellan Skarsgard? --KpoT (talk) 16:40, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

Some people are better at imitating the "sound" of a language than others. Watching lots of movies perhaps, and lots of practice with his English. However, to my ear he has a very definite Swedish accent, at least in Mamma Mia. I haven't seen his more recent work. No doubt he's been practising.--Shantavira|^{feed me} 17:15, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

In addition, many actors (foreign and native speakers) work with dialect coaches, in preparation and even on the set. (We also have an article on accent reduction). For a recent example, Stellan Skarsgård (and Halle Berry) worked with Tony Alcantar as their dialect coach for Frankie and Alice [1]. ---Sluzzelin talk 18:27, 28 February 2011 (UTC)

But what about most foreign actors who still have a heavy noticeable foreign accent? Why can Stelan learn to sound so close to native American speaker and they cannot (ex: Schwarzenegger)? --KpoT (talk) 04:46, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

What about them? Your question is unclear. Dismas|^(talk) 04:49, 1 March 2011 (UTC) I see you've clarified what you were asking. And as far as an answer goes, some people are better with imitating accents than others. Also, Schwarzenegger may not care to try. Dismas|^(talk) 04:52, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

I assume Arnold Schwarzenegger didn't work too hard to change his accent for the same reason he ignored the advice to change his name - to stay memorable in the minds of the film-going public. Astronaut (talk) 12:27, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

He has become an object of imitation himself. An occasional character in the Simpsons has a voice that's obviously a ripoff of Schwarzy. And in my household, whenever I want my partner to do something he doesn't particularly want to do (or vice-versa), I encourage him with a "Come on, you can do it" in faux-Schwarzenegger voice. Works a charm most times. -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 19:56, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

If they aren't able to remove their accent in a credible way, a more ambitious production will probably not cast them for an American, Canadian, British ... part. Luckily for those actors, there are plenty of parts where a foreign accent is desired and required. Sometimes they are cast as people from different countries than their own (and with supposedly different accents too). What people say about Sean Connery always sounding Scottish unfortunately also applies to Armin Mueller-Stahl, an actor I otherwise admire greatly: Whether he's playing a Russian military officer in The Peacemaker, a Hungarian expat in Music Box or the Prime Minister of Israel in The West Wing, he always sounds German. ---Sluzzelin talk 04:58, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

As Shantavira said, his English doesn't sound perfect to me; I don't know what he was supposed to be in Mamma Mia, but in Good Will Hunting, was he supposed to be American? I always thought he ended up sounding kind of French. Adam Bishop (talk) 22:06, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

He sounds very American in Dogville... --KpoT (talk) 17:11, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

According to the article on Mamma Mia! his character Bill Andersson was supposed to be Swedish. The character in Good Will Hunting is named Gerald Lambeau, so he possibly was supposed to be a native francophone. (Which doesn't mean his accent has to sound quite like Luc Teyssier's in French Kiss :-) He orders a Perrier, and Robin Williams's character comments "That's French for club soda." I've seen interviews with Skarsgård where he speaks English with a Swedish accent. Maybe this is the most natural way for him to speak, and sounding as American as possible would feel fake to him. It can also be strenuous to sound like a native speaker at that high level for, say, half an hour. A lapse in concentration can make you slip, particularly when it comes to speech melody. That's one of the reasons dialect coaches are often present on the set. ---Sluzzelin talk 17:43, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Did Arabian Knight really win an award?

Great fan of the movie The Thief and the Cobbler. However, in a trailer for the "Arabian Knight" version (here [2]), and in the site article, it is said that "the film won the 1995 Academy of Family Films Award." But really, those are the only places where that award have even been mentioned. So now I am wondering: What other films have won that award? Does that award even exist? Grey ghost (talk) 07:47, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Well, it seems it did exist. The Academy of Family Films and Television appears to have been founded by the film historian Dr Donald A Reed in 1980[3], who also founded the better-known and still extant Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films (see Saturn Award). Gloria Stuart seems to have won an AFFT award in 1997[4], and Flight of the Navigator won one too according to this. Our own article Nick Mancuso says he won one for Ticket to Heaven (Nick_Mancuso#Awards). But I can't find any evidence that it's still operating. Karenjc 10:52, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

(edit conflict) The LA Times says the Academy of Family Films and Television (often referred to as the Academy of Family Films and Family Television) was founded by Donald Reed in 1980.[5] I suspect it is now defunct; Reed died in 2001.

Googling returns a lot of people/films/tv shows claiming to have won it, including Party of Five, The Gods Must Be Crazy, The Flamingo Kid, and Glory. Here's a short LA Times article from 1990 mentioning Glory getting an award[6].--Colapeninsula (talk) 10:58, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Stargate Atlantis - Atlantis Personnel

In the entire run of the show, has it been stated how many people where stationed at Atlantis ? Also what is the capacity (people-wise) for a city-ship like Atlantis ? 80.254.146.140 (talk) 11:29, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

The Atlantis (Stargate) article describes the city-ship as "huge" with a "vast number of laboratories". Rapid access is provided by "transporter rooms" (again implying a size large enough to make walking a time-consuming business). It goes on to say "...there is presumably enough room for thousands - if not millions - of inhabitants". All this is rather poorly referenced, relying mostly on knowledge of the individual episodes. I don't recall ever hearing it said on the show how many were stationed at Atlantis or how large the city was. Astronaut (talk) 12:49, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

A game called Tidley

Have you ever played Tidley? I’m not referring to tiddlywinks and I’m not sure how to spell tidley. Tidley is a street game we played as children during the early 1940’s, and for us, the game probably originated in the U.K. However, my wife played this game in Germany or Poland; and more likely by a different name? If you’ve played tidley, perhaps you can help me remember the rules and playing details. The rules I am writing below, are what I remember from bits of memory. Therefore, please don’t accept the following as being correct.

The game required a discarded broom or long shovel handle. A short 6” piece of the handle was sharpened at both ends to become the tidley. Less than a yard, or what was left of the handle, became a one-handed bat. A small slit trench was scooped out of the dirt on the side of the road. The trench would allow the bat to easily pass under the tidley placed across the sides of the trench.

One boy, who was to be “up,” placed the tidley across the trench. Using only the bat, he would scoop the tidley up into the air and out past his buddies standing in the street. They would attempt to catch or grab the tidley. The boy who was “up” places the bat across the trench. The buddy who got possession of the tidley must stay where he took possession of the tidley. From that place, he throws the tidley and tries to hit the bat lying across the little trench. If he hits the bat with the thrown tidley, it’s his turn to be up. If buddy misses, the boy who is “up” takes the bat to where the thrown tidley came to rest. At that place, he must swing the bat down on a pointed end of the tidley. This tilts the tidley up into the air where he must strike the tidley again, in mid-air, making it fly high out into the street. My wife remembers drawing a circle in the dirt, and now I vaguely remember we had a circle. Maybe the tidley was brought back to the circled area for hitting. The boy, who is “up” has three chances to hit the tidley in mid-air.

Where the batted tidley comes to rest, someone has another chance to throw the tidley to hit the bat resting over the trench.

This game could have been a forerunner of baseball. Bluenoser50 (talk) 21:03, 1 March 2011 (UTC)

Looking for the name of a SciFi TV series, ca. 1990-2000

Hi, I'm looking for the name of a SciFi TV series, and my google-fu is failing me.

What I remember is that the enemies were called "Banshees", though I'm not sure if that was the name of the race, the name of the spaceship, or if the race itself was a "living spaceship" like the Cylon Raiders in BSG reimagined.

There was a guy either named Draco or a member of a race called Draco, who wore some sort of metal collar (kinda in the shape of a V, and made out of one rigid piece), around his neck that suppressed his agressive nature; he would remove it for fights.

The spaceship of the good guys had a female pilot.

Also, since googling for Draco and Banshee didn't return any fitting results, I'm wondering if maybe I am mixing up two series?

I think you mean either Actors' Equity Association or Equity (trade union). And as Nanonic says above, if the Lilys aren't part of the union, then the union has no say. Dismas|^(talk) 23:24, 2 March 2011 (UTC)

Flamenco

Hi all, I was listening to the "Vitoria Suite" today and I realized I don't really have much flamenco in my music library...care to recommend some? I'm not after Rodrigo y Gabriela type stuff. Not that it's bad, it's just I think I would like something a bit less produced. Perhaps similar to what sort of music Carlos Saura used in his movie(s) about flamenco, or perhaps from some of the segments of Latcho Drom? Thanks for the help.98.248.125.228 (talk) 03:57, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
