Talk:The Ice Storm (film)

Major rewrite needed
Whoever wrote the plot outline needs to turn down their Judgmental knob, which is clearly set in the upper reaches right now. Just because Paul smokes weed, he's hardly a 'drug abuser'. Likewise, I do not care that the author of this piece thinks that the kids aren't 'well-adjusted'. Ben and Janey's affair is also very far from 'torrid' - it's as enervated and world-weary as most of the other relationships in this film. Likewise, please leave out comments like saying that the parents' behaviour is 'inappropriate'. Comments like that are inappropriate in what's supposed to be an encyclopedia article, not a guidebook on why people shouldn't behave like the characters in this movie. I will make changes to reflect my comments unless anyone can tell me why I shouldn't. Lexo 15:21, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Chinese cinema?
The banner on this talk page states that this article is part of Chinese cinema. However, clicking said link goes to a page that states the project is about Chinese-language films; this film is in the English language. Shouldn't it be part of American cinema task force? There's nothing Chinese about the film, apart from the director. Nietzsche 2 (talk) 23:44, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about reversion
I have no knowledge of doing this, somehow the rollback link was clicked. Sorry! --CutOffTies (talk) 21:02, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

Uh, and so, what about the ICE storm?
If I want a scene by scene scenario, I can watch the movie. I suppose if I want to learn how they managed to schedule filming during an ice storm, I'd have to rent the DVD? 68.164.35.42 (talk) 05:32, 3 December 2010 (UTC)

Inspiration?
Did this film serve as inspiration for John Cusack's film, The Ice Harvest? The similarity between their names imply a connection. 216.99.201.135 (talk) 06:09, 31 August 2012 (UTC)

Requested move 17 June 2024

 * The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.

The result of the move request was: moved. Consensus is to move 'The Ice Storm's to the 'novel' disambiguated name before redirecting to the DAB page. The film is to remain as it is without moving. (non-admin closure) Safari Scribe Edits! Talk! 10:02, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

– According to pageviews, The movie article has been viewed daily by hundreds of readers; the novel one, less than one hundred daily. The film should be the primary topic of the title using "The". (Ice storm warning may not count.) Alternatively, the dabpage should take over the base title if neither is proven to be primary topic.

 * The Ice Storm (film) → The Ice Storm
 * The Ice Storm → The Ice Storm (novel)
 * Support per nomination and would also support, as an alternative option, leaving The Ice Storm (film) as is and redirecting The Ice Storm to the Ice storm (disambiguation) page. —Roman Spinner (talk • contribs) 16:20, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Weak support the film is based on the novel though so maybe redirect to the DAB instead of moving the film.  Crouch, Swale  ( talk ) 21:11, 17 June 2024 (UTC)
 * Alternative move the novel, keep the film as is. The Great Ice Storm of 1998 is frequently referred to as "THE Ice Storm", and is an acutal weather event, instead of a piece of fiction; so point the base title to the disambiguation page -- 64.229.90.32 (talk) 04:31, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
