Call the Midwife finale
I am a puddle. A serious puddle. I love the way Heidi Thomas writes stories about women. --Drmargi (talk) 07:04, 19 May 2014 (UTC)


 * I agree. Also Jessica will be missed. The DVD set has a making of documentary and they mention that this third season were all new stories as they had told all of Jennifer Worth's stories in season two. I don't know if that is accurate since I haven't read them - gotta put them on the list of books to acquire. MarnetteD | Talk 15:13, 19 May 2014 (UTC)

NBA international rights
I sorta, kinda understand your position about those players, however, as long as they are active, they should remain on the article, whenever we think they're good enough to be eventually signed is a moot point, I mean, none of us is the GM, it'd be pure speculation from our part and, even if they're never good enough to make an NBA roster, they're, at the very least, trade chips the team could use some day.187.252.97.254 (talk) 00:02, 26 May 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your post. Sadly, those sections add nothing to a readers understanding of the teams. OTOH there are worse sections on our articles. MarnetteD | Talk 05:30, 26 May 2014 (UTC)

Welcome back James (nearly) to Wales
Hi M! James Hook. Welcome back to the UK ... and Gloucester is almost Wales after all .... Wales has missed the brilliance he has continued to demonstrate in Perpignan for the past three years. Let's expect to see him back in the starting line-up next season. Hope you have a great weekend. — &#124; Gareth Griffith-Jones &#124; The Welsh Buzzard&#124; — 12:39, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

 * I believe that it is James H that Gareth is welcoming back. I wish I was in the UK to meet either, or both, of you. If the lottery spirits would draw my six numbers (but, like all tricksters they only toy with me) I would most certainly be over for the next 6 nations tourney and in Sept 2015 to see the Rugby World Cup with you.

Scotland in the UK
Hi, I would just like to point out that Scotland is actually in the UK, and therefore Scottish films are also British. Many English films on Wikipedia say that they are British, while films made in other parts of the United Kingdom are called Scottish, Welsh, or Northern Irish and seem to not be equal to English films. English is NOT synonymous with British. That means that anything English, Scottish, Welsh or Northern Irish is British. Please can there be consistency in Wikipedia as English films are called 'British' and Scottish, Welsh and Northern Irish are not. Thank you. EverythingGeography (talk) 20:46, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes I know all of this and the partisanship that goes with it. In the case of Gregory's Girl it is Scottish cast, crew, writer, director and on and on. Per WP:MOSFILM that qualifies it as Scottish. MarnetteD | Talk 20:50, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
 * BTW While Wikipedia, by its very nature, is not designed for consistency. You are free to try and change things at the various Manual of Styles but I have seen this go back and forth several times in my 9 years here and it has yet to be resolved to everyone's satisfaction.

Citation for Blazing Saddles
Hi, I don't believe it's being disruptive to tag an alleged fact for citation (as WP policy requires). However, I'm not going to fight over it; it's just not that big a deal. Can you tell me where on the commentary/interviews Brooks mentions doing the song? I'd like to check that out. Thanks! MFNickster (talk) 21:16, 7 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your message. I got the nice bluray set of his films a few years ago. The original set came with a book with articles about each film. This current set doesn't seem to have that but the price is better than when I bought it. I am sorry but I don't remember exactly where the item in question was mentioned. There was also a pop up trivia track that you could turn on and it might have been there. BTW The Twelve Chairs is highly under-rated IMO and if you haven't seen it I think it would be worth your time. Cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 21:47, 7 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Glad you noticed C. I'm old enough that I remember Harry Morgan from several shows before M*A*S*H. He also performed a wonderful precursor to his Major General Bartford Hamilton Steele one-off M*A*S*H role in the film What Did You Do in the War, Daddy?. I haven't seen it on cable for years so I bought the DVD. It might be out there on the interwebs somewhere if you are interested. Cheers. MarnetteD | Talk 04:46, 8 June 2014 (UTC)

R.I.P. Rik
Thanks Rik Mayall for all the manic and, later on, straightforward performances that you gave us. I know that you had more to give and I am saddened that you wont get that chance. MarnetteD | Talk 21:45, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, indeed. I first heard on our BBC Six O'Clock News (it went out at 17:00 UTC), when in about the third headline, and without any prior announcement, they played in a clip from "Sick". Straightaway I thought "Rik Mayall's died" - and so it was. Why would I think that? I've been kinda expecting it ever since his quad bike accident a few years ago; also, I could never imagine him getting old. Last thing that I saw him in was "The Clue of the Savant's Thumb". He looked younger than me - and I was 48 then. -- Red rose64 (talk) 22:25, 9 June 2014 (UTC)
 * That was my last as well. The first was in The Black Adder episode "The Black Seal" although it would be a couple years before I realized who it was since the credit ran "Mad Gerald as himself" that still brings a smile. MarnetteD | Talk 22:47, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

Opera Imaginaire
I think there's a film from 1993 that should have an article up. The film in question is Opera Imaginaire. It was a French-made film that was quite similar to Fantasia in every way, except the animation is set to various opera arias, such as Rigoletto or Carmen, anything like that... Visokor (talk) 17:31, 25 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your message V. The film sounds wonderful. It would make a good twin bill with the Italian film Allegro Non Troppo. Sadly, starting new articles, especially ones about films that might have limited sources in English is not my forté. I would suggest that you post this at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Film. In the meantime I will ping  and  for you as they are great at starting articles or, at the least, they may have ideas of where to go to get the article going. Cheers.

 * It does. except the segments are in the wrong order. Tosca does indeed come last, but the others are in reverse order I have noticed... Also, it would be worth putting a plot to each segment and which parts, if any, of the opera it is based on and the animation styles used for each segment. Visokor (talk) 20:09, 25 June 2014 (UTC)
 * I've not seen the film. The source I use listed them in 1 -12 that way, feel free to put them in the correct order!♦ Dr. Blofeld  08:42, 26 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Well, Dr B has created a canvas for your to improve on V :-) I haven't had the pleasure of seeing the film so there is little that I can add to the article. Sadly, a search online show it to be pricey so I won't get to add it to my collection - unless my 6 numbers ever come up. Cheers. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 20:13, 25 June 2014 (UTC)


 * I think I meant looking for clips online. Besides, the film shows a greater variety of animation styles than Fantasia and Allegro non troppo could have had, maybe even before Fantasia 2000. Visokor (talk) 20:19, 25 June 2014 (UTC)

Should Diana Serra Cary be at Baby Peggy Montgomery, following the precedent of having Marie Osborne Yeats article at Baby Marie Osborne? Paul Austin (talk) 17:05, 1 July 2014 (UTC)

But that is just one editors opinion and I can understand the reason for performing the move that you suggest. You might ask for more input at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Biography and/or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Actors and Filmmakers. I'll be happy to add my input at either of these. Cheers.

Stray Dog

 * I'm glad you enjoyed it ! Good catch on the AandD shot. I hadn't thought of that before. Some viewers (and critics) are put off by the long sequence early on where he roams through Tokyo but I find it a fascinating look at the city just four years after the wars end. It is just the third film that Kurosawa and Mifune made together and that makes it a nice bookend with High and Low (1963 film), their penultimate collaboration. Thanks, so much, for taking the time to let me know your reaction. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 15:12, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Me too, yeah, I always like seeing footage of city life in such a period.♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:41, 4 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I've seen The Bad Sleep Well. Not bad, I wouldn't call it great though. It's good enough for a very good entry on my list anyway!♦ Dr. Blofeld  12:45, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * The way it ends is such a downer. For me the opening sequence is a tour de force. We get introduced to the main characters and plot lines in such a simple manner. Then they roll in the cake with the black rose in the window! Once in the 90s (when I was still missing a couple films from my collection) and once in the 00s I have watched AKs films in the order that they were released and I find it a remarkable journey thru the life of a filmmaker and artist. Hmmm we are almost halfway thru the 10's - might be time to do that again :-) Thanks for taking the time to let me know your thoughts and reactions . MarnetteD&#124;Talk 17:38, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Yeah that's a great way to watch films agreed! I do it a lot with actors. I did it with Philip Seymour Hoffman, Monty Clift and Brando a while back. I'm currently doing that with Doris Day but am still only only like 1950 or 1951. Progress has been slow because of the many others films I intend to watch!♦ Dr. Blofeld  17:58, 16 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Speaking of Clift I just picked up the Criterion Collection bluray of Red River. Many years ago I read a bio of Clift and it included a letter that he had written to a friend while working on this film. It described what it was like to be around so many testosterone driven men/children. It was quite funny and I wish I could find it again to share with you, Cheers. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 18:08, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Haha just seen High and Low (1963 film). The best out of the three you suggested!! Loved it, I've rated it top 50 material. ♦ Dr. Blofeld  21:33, 16 July 2014 (UTC)


 * It is remarkable. Kurosawa and Mifune (as well as many others in front of and behind the camera) in top form. The shift between the claustrophobic first act to the hunt for the kidnapper in the second is as amazing as in any film I've seen. I'm sure that you are aware of this but if you ever get a chance to see them in a theater your appreciation will be enhanced. Also if you ever get the chance to view the Criterion Collection DVDs/Blurays of AK's films their extras include a series called Akira Kurosawa: It is Wonderful to Create. These feature all manner of insights and interviews. I know that we've discussed Ikiru in a different thread so, with your viewing of these three, you can see why I recommend to any friends or acquaintances that they should see more than just his samurai films! Thanks again for your posts. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 22:14, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

Another goal of mine is to see 100 good films from 1955!! I'm convinced it's the best year in film. I've already seen 32!♦ Dr. Blofeld  16:00, 17 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Glad you enjoyed it . It is fun to see Wes Studi and Graham Greene so early in their film careers. After his performances in John Wayne's The Cowboy's and this film I kinda wish that A Martinez had a bigger film career. He went into soaps and I can't fault someone for wanting a regular paycheck though. Cheers. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 17:49, 30 July 2014 (UTC)

Recommendation for my talk page watchers
Hello all. I spent part of this weekend watching 37 Days (TV series). Made as part of the centenary coverage of the beginning of WWI the cast is top notch and the performances were excellent. I am sure that some of the details have been altered for dramatic purposes but they are well presented and I learned a few things that I hadn't known before and that always increases my enjoyment of a series. Now this aired back in March in the UK so some of you will have already seen it. To my knowledge it hasn't aired in the US and I am not sure where it might be presented. PBS us one possibility and BBC America is another. PBS would be preferable as commercials would ruin the flow. You might also be able to find it online somewhere. I think that you will find that it is worth your time to watch it. Cheers to all. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 22:06, 6 July 2014 (UTC)
 * It might be a coincidence that you have been editing film articles set during WWI recently but that might add to your interest in this series if you can find it. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 22:06, 6 July 2014 (UTC)

 * They have clearly edited here before and my magic eight ball says "highly likely" so I say good memory . If only DoRD could remember where the IPs geolocated to that could cinch it, but it is more that a year and a half ago that the last report was filed and closed. The History Detectives (on PBS) have a show looking into Glenn Miller's disappearance later tonight - should be interesting.

I'm also looking for a key identifier I don't see yet, but it's mentioned in earlier SPI reports.  Regardless, they've reached the block threshold.

 * Oof. This one has me stumped. I would tend to use the singular but I have no idea what would be proper in regards to WP:ENGVAR. Let me ping and get her thoughts on this. Also I don't know if there would be anything useful here English plurals or not. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful but it is great to hear from you and I hope that you are having a nice summer. Did you see the 37 Days series that I mentioned above? Cheers. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 16:34, 10 July 2014 (UTC)

I was impressed with the quality of 37 Days too. All the best! — &#124; Gareth Griffith-Jones &#124; The Welsh Buzzard&#124; — 08:28, 11 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Did you ping me about this? Sorry!  I read it on my iPad, but wanted to reply when I was at my desktop, then darned near forgot.  The simple answer, from my understanding, is that it depends on which side of the pond you're on.  In American English, it's singular ("My family is…), but in British English, it's plural ("My family are…") as is the case with most collective nouns.  On the other hand, in this particular context, family is does sound better.  You're really not referring to family in the collective, but as a single unit. Does that help?  --Drmargi (talk) 11:39, 11 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Cheers. It is always a fun coincidence to bump into someone who started editing close to the time that I did. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 02:29, 20 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Retired or was pushed? Considering the extraordinary language you use in defending banned editors I have to wonder. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 17:45, 23 July 2014 (UTC)

Looks like you've got one and I've got one. I'm getting out the extra-strength TBG. --Drmargi (talk) 18:41, 20 July 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for acknowledging me in your edit summary, but you got the wrong user in the hat itself. Not a problem but just thought I should point it out. Regards, --Viennese Waltz 07:39, 23 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your note . Actually, I was referring to Jayron's comment when he closed this thread Reference desk/Entertainment higher up on the page. In any event thanks again for your work there and everywhere else on WikiP. Cheers. MarnetteD&#124;Talk 15:23, 23 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Oh sorry, I didn't see that. --Viennese Waltz 08:05, 24 July 2014 (UTC)
