Talk:Elvis Mitchell

The "Elvis" in Elvis Mitchell
Earlier versions of Elvis Presley (e.g. this one) said: Elvis Mitchell, the former movie critic for the New York Times, was named after Presley by his parents. Is this true? If it's true perhaps it deserves mentioning in the article about Mitchell. Meanwhile, I've deleted it from Elvis Presley. -- Hoary 13:54, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Stature and Hairstyle
This remark that "Mitchell has become a recognizable figure in the popular film industry due in part to his work as a screenwriter, but also because of his six-foot frame and full head of dreadlocks" is being deleted as silly, irrelevant, vaguely racist and not provable as true. Being six feet tall is not so notably different as to differentiate him from most American men and combined with the note of his "full head of dredlocks" this just reeks of intimating that he is some big, scary-looking black man.

The dreadlocks are not "scary" so much as curious in that they don't match the color of his hair. And what is a "public intellectual"? I can't say that I am a fan. I saw the first installmant of his interview show last night on TCM. He's kind of annoying and his questions were a bit inane. 72.92.4.157 (talk) 15:38, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

The New York Magazine article in the External links section begins with a reference to Mitchell's looks as well. Are they really dumb as well? I see no problem with a photo-less article having a decription of the person. Whether or not someone finds that 'scary' is their own problem. Ttenchantr 02:58, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I'm curious why Mitchell is identified as "an African-American and film critic." Would Pauline Kael be introduced as "a white and a film critic"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.201.147.44 (talk) 12:14, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Ebert show
The "lack of chemistry" has been disputed, so I'm deleting it for now. See indiewire.com, citing Ebert. -Colfer2 (talk) 22:58, 15 December 2010 (UTC)

Life and Career, para 3
The last sentence of this currently reads: "Yet Mitchell simply disappeared, leaving Schindler to run the office alone and to this day refuses to discuss his odd behavior." Is the wording of this entirely in keeping with neutral POV? Per$1$tenceofv1$1on (talk) 00:05, 28 December 2023 (UTC)
