Buffy question: Why did Willow get mad when OZ kissed a female werewolf ?

Buffy question: Why did Willow get mad illogically when OZ kissed a female werewolf when she was the one to cheat on OZ first with Xander? Neptunekh94 (talk) 23:33, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Never watched the show, but two wrongs don't make a right, and when have people who cheat or have been cheated on ever been reasonable about it? Ian.thomson (talk) 23:38, 16 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

So, you want to know why fictional characters behaved the way they did? The answer is because the writers of the show put it in the script, and the actors performed the actions and spoke the words they were told to. --Jayron32 00:37, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

This is a standard fob-off response to this kind of question. Obviously, there must have been an in-universe reason for Willow to behave as she did. That is what the OP is looking for. -Viennese Waltz 07:48, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

How dare you refer to my former wife like that! We may have had our differences, and she is very weird (in a good way), but lycanthropy has never been one of her things. -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 01:09, 17 November 2012 (UTC) [reply]

(I added links to the relevant episodes.)

Willow has some grounds to say "that's different!".

Oz had barely met Veruca (for such is the she-wolf's name, after a band named after one of the horrid children in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, who in turn was named for a wart). Xander was Willow's first crush, long before she met Oz; and when they kissed they both thought they were about to die (by Spike), a circumstance that tends to kick up the sex-drive, or so they say.
Willow made a big show of remorse; Oz showed none but defended his actions — iirc (it's been awhile since I last watched season four).
Willow's anger could also be displaced dismay at learning how little control Oz had over his wolf side in daylight.

But one could also say this whole plotline happened because Seth Green wanted out of the series. —Tamfang (talk) 10:12, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Was Mike_Judge born to Ecuadorian parents, was Yeardley_Smith born to french parents and was Bruce_willis born a German citizen?

Neptunekh94 (talk) 05:45, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

No, no, and no. The first two are clear in the articles you linked, though the third I had to look up whether citizenship was acquired by birth or from parents (no). Mingmingla (talk) 16:27, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Caveat: While it is overwhelmingly likely that the answers to the first two are no, it is not explicitly stated in the articles what nationalities Judge's and Smith's parents were. Their names are not typical Ecuadorian or French, but we can't just jump to the conclusion they weren't citizens of those countries without further corroboration.

Vacuum-Sealed Canopic Jar - Stargate SG-1: Moebius (08.19 & 20)

In the SG1 two-parter Moebius (08.19 & 20), there was a reference to a vacuum-sealed canopic jar containing a camcorder that was found in a ancient Egyptain tomb. My question is, how effective would vacuum-sealing that canopic jar in preserving the camcorder for thousands of years ? 80.254.146.140 (talk) 14:22, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Vacuum sealing would _reduce_ the life of the camcorder very considerably from just leaving it in the open air - under hard vacuum, a typical piece of domestic electronics wouldn't last more than a day or so. Hermetic sealing would be better - it would prevent any metal parts of the camcorder from rusting out - but it would still be very unlikely for a camcorder to survive more than a few decades. The main issue would be the drying out of electrolytic capacitors, and the embrittlement/deterioration of the Mylar magnetic tape. Leaving the battery in, with consequent leakage of various nasty corrosive fluids, would be similarly fatal. Tevildo (talk) 14:40, 17 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Questions about movie studio Wikipedia articles

Just have a few questions:

1. Should Joseph Kennedy's name be removed from the heading of founder(s) on the RKO article? Because only David Sarnoff owned the controlling interest in RKO from its formation.

2. Paramount Pictures, as we know it today, was formed as a merger between two companies in 1916. Should I change the founding date from 1912 to 1916, and should I add Jesse L. Lasky's name under the founder(s) heading?

3. Is it ok if I add the names of William Swanson, Patrick Powers Mark Dwitenfass, David Horsley, Julius Stern, Nathaniel Elsberg, Jules Brulatour, Charles Baumann, Adam Kessel, Charles Kessel, Frederick Balshofer, and Mae C. Kenney as founders of Universal with Carl Laemmle? Because their names were listed as a partnership with Laemmle: http://books.google.com/books?id=-ncLAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA581&dq=carl+laemmle+jules+baumann&hl=en#v=onepage&q=carl%20laemmle%20jules%20baumann&f=false Rebel Yeh (talk) 09:16, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mystery man on History Channel documentary

A few months ago, I remember watching on History a documentary on Harry Houdini. For some unexplained reason (or maybe it was mentioned in another part, since I only watched the second half of it), there was some guy whose face was totally darkened. You know, like those people whose faces are censored to protect their identities. However, I could not remember his "description." Like for example "Giorgio Tsoukalos - Publisher, Legendary Times Magazine" or "George Noory - Radio Host, Coast to Coast AM". What was his "description", and what was the reason for his anonymity? Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 10:34, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Are you talking about the man at roughly 4:20 in this video? If so, that is Teller. As part of his regular act with Penn & Teller, he doesn't speak... even though he is perfectly able to. So to keep that pseudo-mystery going, they obscure his face. Dismas|^(talk) 11:02, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yes! It's him precisely! For some odd reason I thought he was some guy who won Houdini merchandise in an auction and wanted to keep his identity secret or something. Thank you very much. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 11:10, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome. And if you get the chance, check out their magic act. Dismas|^(talk) 11:18, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Resolved

Just as an aside, Teller does speak, he just doesn't speak much. The "shtick" in the Penn and Teller act is the bombastic Penn and the reserved Teller, Penn often talks so much that Teller can't get a word in edgewise. He's not mute; I have been at live shows where Teller does speak a tiny bit. After the show, both performers were in the lobby hawking merch and signing autographs. Teller spoke plainly then. He has a quiet voice, but does talk. I've also seen several documentary shows where he speaks freely; often explaining how he does tricks or discussing his act or relationship with Penn. --Jayron32 20:18, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why, however, did the documentary "black out" Teller's face, yet still identify him in a graphic on-screen? That is hardly concealing his identity. Everyone knows what he looks like. → Michael J Ⓣ Ⓒ Ⓜ 04:20, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

That is also part of Teller's normal trademark "shtick": If he speaks, he usually obscures his face in some way. Zzyzx11 (talk) 06:10, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

They have built their careers on that 'shtick' and are quite dedicated to it. I saw them a few years ago and after the show Penn lifted me up off of the floor in a rib-crushing hug. After setting me down, he insisted that Teller hug me too. Teller complied, although quite reluctantly as though I was made of spun glass. Very funny!

Demons Souls World tendancy

Hello there. I am slogging through Demon's Souls and have a question about World Tendancy. Right at the beginning of the game there is a gate which only opens if the world is pure white or pure black. It is determined by an aggregate of people's actions on the server. Now the gate is closed in my game, but I can see the white spirits of other players merrily running through the gate, indicating it is open for them. If they are on the server, how can this be so? If they have gone offline to affect the tendency themselves, how can I see them?

The Discoteques

Hi, I've just passed an article for GA but something had to come out because nobody could find a suitable online reference for it. The entry was that German group The Discoteques had a 1972 hit with with a cover of the George Harrison song "What Is Life" which charted in Sweden. Can anyone help? Paul MacDermott (talk) 17:55, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Is this any good? Tevildo (talk) 18:38, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I saw that, but wasn't sure if it would be an acceptable source to use for a GA article. Paul MacDermott (talk) 18:59, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, it proves the record exists. However, this and this are the best I can find for definitve Swedish charts for 1972, and the record does not appear on them. (Interesting to see pre-Eurovision entries for "Björn, Benny, Agnetha & Frida", incidentally). I don't think the Discoteques will be a major omission from the article, in any case.

Comment on Entry for Movie "Casablanca"

I don't know how to get a comment in about "Casablanca." Here's a quote from the article:

'One of the lines most closely associated with the film — "Play it again, Sam" — is a misquotation.[121][122] When Ilsa first enters the Café Americain, she spots Sam and asks him to "Play it once, Sam, for old times' sake." After he feigns ignorance, she responds, "Play it, Sam. Play 'As Time Goes By'." Later that night, alone with Sam, Rick says, "You played it for her, you can play it for me," and "If she can stand it, I can! Play it!"'

Actually, "Play it Again, Sam" is not a quote. It' the title of of Herbert Ross' film starring Woody Allen, where he "channels" Humphrey Bogart, in a way "resurrecting" the rick of Casablanca. Hence the title, "Play it AGAIN, Sam." It's Rick come back to life, re-playing Casablanca. I'm so sick and tired of everyone getting this wrong! Can this be commented on in the article? Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 146.115.151.68 (talk) 22:09, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think you've missed the point. The reason that Ross' 1972 film used that title was precisely because the phrase was widely, though wrongly, thought to be a line from Casablanca. I'm not sure where to find a documentary reference for this if it isn't already in one of the relevant articles in this encyclopaedia, but I am old enough to have been familiar with the ubiquity of the mis-quote (and the fact of its inaccuracy) well before 1972. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 90.197.66.19 (talk) 22:20, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

(e/c) I'm not sure I follow you. The text you quoted includes these words: "One of the lines most closely associated with the film — "Play it again, Sam" — is a misquotation". That means that the phrase "Play it again, Sam" was NOT heard in Casablanca, but many people believe it was and have well-meaningly spread this misinformation ever since the movie came out. Hence, the need for someone, somewhere to stand up and say "Hold on, this exact line never appeared in the movie". That is what our article is doing: telling the world the truth. Why does it need to be changed?

The misquotation long predated the Woody Allen movie. He simply took a well-known misquotation and cashed in on it. He did not invent it. -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 22:21, 18 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Precisely. It's associated with the film, it just doesn't quite happen to be in the film. As with the early Mae West film where she said "Come up and see me sometime", only what she actually said was "Come up sometime, and see me... Come on up - I'll tell your fortune." And in a twist on the idea, in Apollo 13, Tom Hanks repeats the famous line, "Houston, we have a problem", although the producers knew it was actually "Houston, we've had a problem", but the slight misquote is what everyone remembers, so they used the misquote in the film. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 06:20, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

There's dozens of misquotes that get remembered wrongly. Everyone seems to remember Gordon Gecko saying "Greed is good" in Wall Street. He never said that phrase. What he said was "Greed, for lack of a better word, is good": [1]. But everyone leaves out the middle part. The Federales also never said "We don't need no steenking badges!" in The Treasure of the Sierra Madre. The actual line was "We don't need no badges. I don't have to show you any stinkin' badges!" Shakespeare never wrote "A rose by any other name smells just as sweet." He wrote "What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as sweet." And on and on. It's a wonder we get anything right... --Jayron32 17:37, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

We focus on what we wish they had said or think they should have said, and then pretend that's what they actually said. The rotten media does this all the time, by enclosing in quote marks sets of words that no speaker ever said. They take the raw material, the words that were spoken, then massage them to suit editorial imperatives, but still put quote marks around them and pretend they were the actual literal verbatim words actually literally verbatimly spoken. We know this because we can read different reports of the same incident and see different sets of words reportedly spoken by the same person at the same time, all in quote marks. At best, only one of those quotes can be correct. Probably, none of them are. -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 18:52, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you can "massage" quotes by using ellipses, for example, "Greed ... is good" and "We don't need no ... stinking badges", but I am always leery of any quote that uses ellipses to omit sections, because it is very easy to alter the meaning of a quote by using ellipses to remove vital parts. I agree with Jack that this poor practice in the media is partly to blame. --Jayron32 19:08, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

True, ellipses introduce issues of their own, about what was omitted and why, and we readers can legitimately wonder whether we're being manipulated into believing something that simply isn't true ("I did not kill him", and "I did ... kill him" are rather different in their meaning). But the ellipses at least acknowledge that the words presented are not all the words actually spoken, which "Greed ... is good" does but "Greed is good" fails to do. Another aspect of this is parenthetical expressions; they're defined as words in a sentence that can safely be removed without causing any damage to the main sense. The bit left out of Gordon Gecko's statement is parenthetical, so it's not such a hanging offence. The "not" in my other example is not parenthetical, and no amount of ellipses will ever make up for its excision, which reverses the meaning. -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 19:44, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

For some more examples (though not exclusively cinematic), see also List of misquotations at wikiquote, listing most examples mentioned here. Note that the entry on "Play it Again Sam" mentions A Night in Casablanca (1946) as a possible (and intentional) early source of this misquote, but other sites say it's just another misquote ... I guess someone has to re-watch the film very soon! The Gecko quote mentioned by Jayron, is given in an even fuller version: "The point is, ladies and gentleman, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works.", there's a specification of what kind of "good" is meant, and of course that's yet more expandable, and we still don't know the exact context without watching the movie and being able to understand where he's coming from, etc. See also contextomy at Wikipedia and, more relevant, "Beam Me Up, Scotty!" at TV Tropes. ---Sluzzelin talk 01:22, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Until recently it was possible to post myths at a Mythbusters forum, which was frequently mentioned at the show, at [2] For a week now that site has merely redirected. Is it gone for good?

In response to the last question, I'd say it's likely due to the fact that they're difficult to police on a large scale. I am, and have been, an admin on a few different forums of varying sizes. Even run a couple of my own. Between keeping spammers out and keeping conversations on-topic and civil, it can be a lot of work. The companies may not be willing to put too much money into maintaining the software and paying for people to admin them. Especially when there are so many fans willing to put the effort into running forums of their own. Then there's Facebook and such pulling traffic away from forums...

Peter Silverman/screenwriter for Something the Lord Made

Why is an 81 year old man from Toronto claiming he wrote the screenplay for Something The Lord Made when it is patently false?

I wrote the screenplay. I am 63 years old and live in the state of Washington. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.225.184.118 (talk) 19:55, 19 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Talk:Something the Lord Made is where this issue might better be raised.

But I'll just say this: We draw on reliable sources for our articles, and the sources I checked out from our article Something the Lord Made say the writers were Silverman (who is indeed 81) and Caswell (who died in 2006). If you know different, you'd need to take it up with IMdB and the rest of the film world who are currently crediting Silverman and Caswell. You will obviously need documentary proof if you want to be taken seriously, not just an anonymous assertion, as we have here at the moment. Best of luck. -- Jack of Oz ^[Talk] 02:21, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like a combination of standard-fare editing technique, a dummy head, and compositing to me, nothing more. The only (and most expensive) shot that would require compositing is the farther back shot of his whole body and arm reaching up and hand going into his head. That's easily done with most compositing software that matches movements (camera and actor). The closer shot of the head being peeled back is the dummy head.

Plot hole in Arbitrage?

In Arbitrage, Richard Gere crashes a car, Laetitia Casta dies, and so on. Then detective Tim Roth tries to catch him for the death (eg. involuntary manslaughter, perhaps, can't remember what), but there are no questions about the car he was driving. Whose car was it? It would barely make sense if he was driving her car (why wouldn't she drive?) and if it is his, why was this not detected anywhere (such as by his wife, noticing it was missing)? If it was a hire car, there would be plenty of paperwork. Surely even a burnt out wreck leaves some evidence? IBE (talk) 19:26, 20 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I've not seen the film, but why dismiss the possibility that he was driving her car? There are various explanations: Many men prefer to drive (not a reliable source but here's one a little more reliable); maybe she was ill, drunk, or turned on by him driving fast; maybe she was giving him a blow-job; and so on. After a fire, the police might have had little evidence - no fingerprints, no fibres, no witnesses that they were together that evening, and therefore no hint that he was even involved in the crash.

Our article on the boxer "Macho" Héctor Camacho has the claim he was the first boxer to win in seven divisions. Can anybody who has knowledge of boxing explain and confirm this with a source? Thanks. μηδείς (talk) 18:10, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Several of Camacho's seven "titles" are from minor league sanctioning divisions. The Boxing world currently recognizes 4 "major" titles: the World Boxing Organization, World Boxing Association, World Boxing Council, and International Boxing Federation. Other sanctioning bodies exist and name champions, but they are not widely regarded as significant. Camacho has held meaningful titles in only 3 divisions: Super Featherweight, Lightweight, and Light Welterweight. --Jayron32 18:25, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

More: Septuple champion has info on Macho Camacho's titles: the last 4 were all from minor sanctioning bodies, one of which is so minor league no one has created a Wikipedia article for it. --Jayron32 18:30, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I am not really comfortable editting the article, since to me these terms are about as intuitive as drams and pecks. Would you be willing to clarify the statement in the article? μηδείς (talk) 19:59, 22 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not finding anything about seven titles in the text of the article. Maybe I'm dense; could you indicate where it is? --Jayron32 00:07, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Helene Deschamps -- The original Bond girl???

For those who've seen the movie Goldeneye: you probably remember that when James Bond met Jack Wade at St. Petersburg airport, his password was "In London, April is a spring month", and Wade's response (which he refused to say) was supposed to be "While in St. Petersburg, we're freezing our butts off!" What struck me, though, is this password's similarity to the one used by Helene Deschamps Adams on her final reconnaissance mission on the Jura Plateau: her password was "Such bad weather", and the response was "For the past week". Which begs the question: Did Ian Fleming know her personally, and did her password influence his own choice of passwords for Goldeneye? 24.23.196.85 (talk) 00:52, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

If so, it wouldn't have been Ian Flemming. GoldenEye was the first James Bond film to use no plot elements from any of Flemming's Bond stories. --Jayron32 00:54, 23 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]
