Animated movie
moved from Reference_desk/Miscellaneous

There was an animated movie a number of years ago, I never saw it but wanted to it was set in the future in space, all I remember is the trailer, and a guy sitting in the cargo hold of a spaceship looking out at supernovas. any idea, I know this is vague but any help would be appreciated. The animation was more Disney/Pixar than Animae, or more western than eastern, if that helps. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.172.58.82 (talk) 09:21, 25 July 2009 (UTC)  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.100.250.79 (talk)

Was the movie Drag me to Hell meant to be funny?
I know it was meant to be a horror, but was it meant to be funny as well? Did the director intentionally make the film over the top to make it funny or was it meant to be a serious horror flick. I haven't seen the movie, but friends tell me they were laughing throughout the whole movie. 124.171.172.59 (talk) 13:41, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Think so - according to Drag_Me_to_Hell.83.100.250.79 (talk) 18:48, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I've not seen this one, but remember this is Sam Raimi, who aside from doing that Kevin Costner baseball movie and the Spider Man trilogy, made his mark doing goofy horror-comedy movies like Evil Dead and Army of Darkness. This is clearly a return to form for him.  -- Jayron  32  05:52, 26 July 2009 (UTC)


 * For Sam Raimi's horror films, think The Texas Chain Saw Massacre meets The Three Stooges. —Kevin Myers 23:37, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Does anyone know this song?
In the mid-90s I bought a pink vinyl single record by a girl band (at least, they certainly had a female vocalist) - I think they were probably a riot grrrl band, but I couldn't swear to it. One of the songs (I cannot remember whether it was the 'a' side or the 'b' side) contained the lyrics "I'll be Tarzan, you be Jane" (or very similar) and also mentioned "De Niro". I've tried Googling for hours with no success - does anyone happen to know the song I'm talking about and/or the name of the group? I know it's not a lot to go on but it's all I can remember. Thanks.

 * Could it be a Bananarama song - "Robert de Niro's Waiting" maybe?--TammyMoet (talk) 15:49, 25 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Martika had a song that had something like "If you're Tarzan then I'm Jane". It mentioned other couples in history, but I doubt it mentioned De Niro. --  k a i n a w &trade; 00:50, 26 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Looks like it's probably "Darling, Self Destruct" by Tampasm, unless there is more than one riotgrll-ish song with Deniro and Tarzan in the lyrics. lyrics video Recury (talk) 00:59, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Tampasm's 'Darling, Self Destruct' it is. Thank you fr your help. Pantscat (talk) 00:21, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Music for Goths
What music or groups do Goths like? Is there any Goth music? I am referring to the modern goth style rather than historical Goths. 89.243.185.143 (talk) 21:07, 25 July 2009 (UTC)


 * See our article on Goth subculture. Exploding Boy (talk) 21:12, 25 July 2009 (UTC)


 * See also Gothic rock. --Canley (talk) 03:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Although there are specific genres of music labeled Gothic rock and Gothic metal, I know a few Goths whose musical tastes aren't necessarily limited to that genre, some are not even familiar with their headlining bands (but you'll probably turn a few heads if you mention Voltaire). It really depends on the type of person you're looking at. Remember, never judge a character by their stereotype. Black eyeliner and elaborate clothing doesn't necessarily equal a Goth.--WaltCip (talk) 19:00, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
