Can Isee the tour de france caravan in the city of Grenoble and where is the best place to see the caravan and the time trials — Preceding unsigned comment added by 59.100.83.127 (talk) 02:14, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question about highest grossing film for the week of June 24, 1949

What was the highest grossing film for the week of June 24, 1949? 98.234.170.202 (talk) 05:28, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Highest grossing where? In any case, all the highest grossing films of the year (according to 1949 in film) were released after that, except Little Women, which was released much earlier in the year. I see that Kind Hearts and Coronets was released that week, at least in the UK...maybe that is helpful. Adam Bishop (talk) 19:46, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Tennis score

The tie-break section reads: "Only one more game is played to determine the winner of the set; the score of the set is always 7–6 (or 6–7)." But it goes on to say, "if the score is listed as 7–6 (8), the tiebreak score was 10–8 (since 8 is the loser's points, and the winner must win by two points)."

Why can't the tie-break end 8-6 or 6-8, and how can it go to 10-8 if 7-6 ends it? Thanks. 66.108.223.179 (talk) 16:17, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

As I understand it, if one person gets to 7 by 3 clear points in a tie-break they win the set. If not, they have to win by two clear points. So a score of 7-4 wins a tie-break, but 7-5 doesn't: 8-5 would win it, as would 8-6. (If nobody else consults the laws of tennis to confirm this in a few hours then I will, but I'm going to be a little busy for the next few hours.) --TammyMoet (talk) 16:51, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Found it. Here is a very concise statement of the tie-break scoring system. --TammyMoet (talk) 19:01, 4 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

You're getting confused between the score of the set and the score of the tie-break. 7-6 is the score of the set, i.e. the number of games won by each person in the set. A tie-break only happens when the score of the set is six games all, so the score of the set after a tie-break must always be 7-6. 10-8 or 8-6 is the score in the tie-break, i.e. the number of points in it. As for why a listed score of 7-6 (8) reflects a tiebreak score of 10-8 rather than 8-6, I'm not sure. --Viennese Waltz 05:11, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A tiebreak CAN end 8-6, but then the set score would be written 7-6 (6). It's always the loser's points that are written, because you can deduce the winner's points from them (like this: if the loser's score is between 0 and 5, the winner's score is 7. If the loser's score is greater than 5, the winner's score is the loser's score plus 2). 80.123.210.172 (talk) 17:54, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

old tv show

I remember only watching this show one time . I think it was called dungeons and dragons. but all my searches comes up empty. So I am beginning to believe that it went by a different name. The one scene that stands out the most was in a bar or inn and there was a arm wrestling table and 2 main adventures. The thing about the arm wrestling table was that there was 2 holes in the table and the loser arm would have gotten bitten on the arm and would have died. I am trying to figure out the name of the show, every where I ask they don't know of what show I am talking about. I would have to say the TV show was in the late 70's to the mid 80's, maybe around 1978 to 1987. I remember waiting for the next part of the show but I don’t think they ever showed it. I believe it was supposed to be a TV series. This show was not an animated series.Cavemanmd 23:52, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

I removed your e-mail address. As it says at the top of this page, responses will appear here. Comet Tuttle (talk) 03:27, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dungeons and Dragons was an animated series in the early 1980s, and there was also a questionable feature film in the last decade, so that's probably not it (unless you saw the movie on broadcast TV). --McDoob AU 93 02:37, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It was not the animated series, and I don't think it was the movie, either. I vaguely remember this scene: I think there were snakes in the holes, and if you're arm was pushed too close, one of the snake heads would come out and bite you. I know I saw it in the middle 80's to middle 90's, on either network TV or basic cable. I remember the bar being very dark with grungy washed out colors. Hope this helps. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.100.92.26 (talk) 15:59, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Dungeons & Dragons related products lists some other media including the 2005 cable TV movie. Rmhermen (talk) 18:12, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes it helps a bit, atlease I know of 1 other that remember that scene, Now if only someone could remember the Name of the show.I think I saw it on network TV, I don't think my family had cable yet,and thank you to all that responded and going to respond.Cavemanmd 23:52, 5 June 2011 (UTC)

I also vaguely remembered that scene and suspected that you were referring to the show, Wizards and Warriors. I googled "Wizards and Warriors" and "arm wrestling" and found a page that mentioned the scene in question (approximately halfway down the page).[1] FreeKresge (talk) 20:26, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Female pop stars

As I'm sure most of you know, there's a popularly held belief that sexually attractive female pop stars who aren't considered to be particularly talented are only successful because of their sex appeal. However, I just realized that the fanbase of most of these artists consist of straight women and gay men (just my personal observation though, I don't have any professional research to back up that observation), two groups of people who aren't going to have any sort of sexual interest in a woman. So that kind of blows a hole in the theory that sex appeal is the sole reason a not-so-talented female pop star is successful. I think it makes a lot more sense when that theory is applied to male pop singers like say, Usher or Justin Timberlake, seeing as their fans do mainly consist of people that would be sexually attracted to them, hetero women. But why do people say this of female pop stars? How does it hold any water? And why would they choose to sexualize their image to make themselves more popular if they know that their fans aren't the type of people who will salivate at the sight of their half-naked bodies? 173.2.165.251 (talk) 19:00, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think that belief is popularly held by the sort of people who are much older than the intended fanbase. And as any popular belief, it is probably not accurate at all. The fanbase for these people is actually fairly young, probably mostly teenagers. Physical appearance is important to teenagers, but in a way that goes far beyond sexual attraction. When was the fat nerd ever the most popular kid in school? The football jock and the cheerleader are the popular kids, because the other boys and girls want to be like them. The cheerleader is not popular because all the boys want to have sex with her, but because all the other girls idolize her. Likewise for musicians. It wouldn't be socially acceptable to idolize an ugly musician. Adele, for example, is much more talented than, say, Rihanna, but will Adele ever be a superstar like her? Of course not, not with a fanbase of teenagers anyway. Adam Bishop (talk) 19:17, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That kinda makes more sense now. Something that's visually appealing is going to sell a lot better than something that isn't, regardless of its actual quality. I just couldn't understand why sex appeal in particular is always frequently cited as a reason, since one could also argue that Justin Bieber is only popular for his image, but he's not by any means considered a sex symbol, nor is he marketed as one. But still, women like Madonna and Kylie Minogue still make sex a large part of their image, even though their fanbases are no longer teenagers. 173.2.165.251 (talk) 19:44, 5 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While I can't claim to speak for either Madonna or Kylie, I think a large part of their appeal is that they are breaking the stereotypes of what age is, how "women of a certain age" should behave, act, what sexiness is, what attractiveness is... --TammyMoet (talk) 11:51, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They say 'SEX SELLS', rather 'CONTROVERSY SELLS', because Controversy keeps it alive, in the media, headlines, word of mouth <--best form of News travel did you hear who kissed who? or guess who's doing who?. We create young superstars so that we can milk that label for as long as possible, folks don't like change. So in serving your public, and they love gossip, give them something to talk about. Enter Oprah, all she does is talk, and in that talk everyone goes out and buys what she's talkin about. 'OPRAH SELLS' --i am the kwisatz haderach (talk) 23:32, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

One approach to solve this problem is to have two musicians, one ugly and talented, and another attractive and less talented. This can be done honestly, as in the case of The Mamas and The Papas, with Michelle Phillips as the eye candy and Cass Elliot doing the bulk of the female vocals, or can be done covertly, with an up-front, pretty singer who lip-synchs to the work of the hidden, talented artist, who might be lucky to get a credit as a back-up singer.

Help indentifying a piece of music for string quartet

Here's a sample of everything that's available on it.

This is played on the 1985 film Brewster's Millions and I've been trying to track it down for the last couple of months. It's not listed in the movie's ending credits and there was never a soundtrack nor a score released, and I've got reliable information denying it was composed exclusively for the film.

I've already tried Borodin and Dvorak, and some stuff sounded vaguely similar, but it's not it. Musipedia gives me plenty of junk results that sound nothing like it.

Can anyone identify it, or at least point to the right direction? Perhaps there's a particular musical element in the composition that I could use to track it down? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks! — Kieff | Talk 06:43, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Film : The Robe

Why is it one cannot obtain the DVD of The Film "THE ROBE" Special Edition here in the UK Playable as Region 2 and not necessarily Blue Ray. Alan Davis — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.112.51.55 (talk) 20:54, 6 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Probably because Fox, who made it, don't believe it would make enough money to be financially worthwhile releasing another DVD, since there is already the standard DVD for sale both singly and in a box set, as well as a Blu-Ray, the up-and-coming format for wealthy cinephiles. Additionally, many serious British film buffs import films from the USA, meaning they may already have bought the region one version. And the market for critically-panned 1950s religious movies is not huge (Amazon's official review calls it "turgid", and they're trying to sell the thing[2]). If you want a definitive answer, it should be easy enough to contact Fox and ask them. --Colapeninsula (talk) 14:35, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Wildstorm Comics Copyrights

Hi H\how can I know which of the subject of the articles in WIkipedia is owned by whom. For ex., for the "The Planetary" article it does not contain who owns those works (whether Warren Ellis or DC) under the article. My question is just who owns "The Planetary?" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 119.93.197.164 (talk) 06:05, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That would be determined by whatever legal agreements exist between Wildstorm, the comic books' authors, and possibly other parties too. Usually these contracts are confidential, and sometimes they're quite complicated. Occasionally (as, for example, in the case of Zenith) there can be disputes over who owns what and who did or didn't buy what from whom, problems that sometimes have to be solved by arbitration or court action. Your first port of call would be Wildstorm's legal department. -- Finlay McWalter ☻ Talk 23:01, 7 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Star Wars, Equal use of the Force and the Darkside Character

Well no it wasn't really, was it. --Viennese Waltz 07:23, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The words are "I could use somebody like you", so the person who dedicated it to you (I assume OP means a one-time "dedication" by a friend of theirs) is affectionately requesting your services.--Shantavira|^{feed me} 07:41, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep in mind that a person may request/play a song thinking it has one meaning, but are unaware of the actual subtext/meaning of the song as intended by the songwriter. You sometimes hear stories about people playing nice sounding love songs, and then getting egg on their faces because they didn't realize that the song was actually about a prostitute/transvestite/etc. A frequently "misused" song is American Woman, which is usually played as a pro-American woman anthem, whereas it was actually written as a slightly anti-American woman/pro-Canadian woman song. So even if we could tell you what the Kings of Leon meant when they wrote "You know that I could use somebody, Someone like you", we couldn't really tell you what the person who dedicated the song to you intended by it (e.g. "I could use you as a friend/confidant/long term love/booty call/etc."). As the bassist on American Woman said "John Lennon once said that the meanings of all songs come after they are recorded. Someone else has to interpret them." -- 174.31.219.218 (talk) 15:27, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Pokemon

What happen to Pokemon? Why is Pokemon not for children anymore? Why is Pokemon Black and White so dark,mature and gruesome. Why are you the bad guy in this game? Team Plasma are heroes. Why only adults buy this game? What was Game Freak thinking? Will Pokemon ever be for kids again? Why is there no cute Pokemon? All of the Pokemon are really scary. And worse this game is rated Z 18 and up in Japan. And CoroCoro Comic is for adults now. It the same with Oha Suta,Pokemon Sunday and Pokemon Smash. And you play as a teenager and the Kids Next Door hate teenagers. Is there such thing as a game that is for children where you play as a teen or a adult? And there are black people in this game like Iris. Is there a children game that have black people in it? And you can be gay in this game. There people who sell drugs in this game. There are people having sex in this game. Iris can be seen running around naked. This game is just as bloody and gory as Mortal Kombat. The game is Censored in the USA but Game Freak was angry when they learn that. Why did it have to happen?Childrenjr (talk) 21:13, 8 June 2011 (UTC

Obviously, we can not answer for Nintendo's future plans.

However, it's pretty clear why they wanted a slightly more mature pokemon. Pokemon was introduced 15 years ago. If you started playing at the beginning when you were ten, you're now twenty-five. That's a very lucrative market segment. They would be crazy not to target it. APL (talk) 23:11, 8 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Never played the game, so I don't know (or much care) if you're making stuff up.

Name of a counter-terrorism style PC game

Hi there. I was hoping someone might be able to help me figure out the name of a PC game I played when I was younger (around 2000-2003), in which you first play as a counter-terrorism team through different maps all over the world, completing various objectives to get the overall mission done. All I seem to remember is that once you complete that campaign, you can play the terrorist campaign which is the same as the counter-terrorist campaign but you are playing as the agressors. I seem to remember the first level being in a desert or sandy area. Other levels I remember are one in a subway system and one in a museum where the terrorists had planted a bomb. Sorry I can't be more specific, I'm trying to recall this from memory but I was very young when I originally played it. It was an excellent game from what I remember and I'd really like to find out the name so I can play it again. Oh, and it's definitely not Counterstrike or Rainbow Six: Raven Shield. :) Thanks in advance! --92.23.247.57 (talk) 23:48, 9 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
