I think we should say something about the souindtrack. -- Beardo 01:03, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"released"

[edit]

I really don't think such euphemisms have any place in a Wikipedia article. The guy was "fired" or "sacked" by his team, not "released", still less the horrible "let go" (as if he'd been held captive by the team and wanted nothing more than to leave it). I have a similar problem with euphemisms like "issue" for "problem" and "pass away" for "die". The childish habit of calling difficult things by pretty names doesn't make them any less difficult, and probably makes them even harder to deal with. If I have a health problem, that's what it is - not a "health issue", which could in theory be something positive. And my parents haven't "passed away", they're dead, and it happens to all of us, including me in due course. Luckily I'm self-employed, so I can't be "released" - at least until I "pass away"!188.230.240.75 (talk) 12:02, 5 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Was the film successful?

[edit]

Be nice to give some indication as to whether the film was a big success, a big flop, did average, or whatever. I personally don't know. PatConolly (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 09:00, 29 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
