Loveless Lyrics
I'm having trouble finding lyrics to My Bloody Valentine's Loveless album. Yes, I know that the lyrics are mostly indistinguishable anyway, so they don't really matter. I want to know: is anyone aware of any non-school-appropriate lyrics in the album at all, clearly audible or not? I don't want to make a bad impression showing off profane shoegazer... — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.73.226.36 (talk) 03:57, 12 October 2012 (UTC)


 * I remember reading magazine articles in the late '90s saying that at least some of MBV's lyrics were suggestive or a little on the kinky side, but searching the databases available to me now I'm not coming up with anything that confirms that at all. I'm inclined to believe that it would have been earlier material that was the case for; "Slow" talks about a "slow slow slow slow suck," for example, and the repeated refrain in "Sueisfine" is actually supposedly suicide, &c.  As far as Loveless lyrics go, this site has transcriptions that look like they were done by a fan, but seem reasonably close to me (and I've listened to this album more times than I can count over the years).  They look pretty safe as far as I'm concerned.   --some jerk on the Internet    (talk)  13:42, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Older Tintin movies on DVD
I was wondering if The Crab with the Golden Claws (film), Tintin and the Golden Fleece, and Tintin and the Blue Oranges might come out on DVD.142.255.103.121 (talk) 04:16, 12 October 2012 (UTC)


 * This review confirms that they have all been released on DVD, the former as a French release by Fox Pathé and the latter by the BFI. Amazon.co.uk has both of the latter in stock if you search, but it may prove harder to get the first film unless you buy direct from France.  - Ka renjc 08:48, 12 October 2012 (UTC)

Argo Movie details
In the movie ARGO, what are the characters cover names? For instance what is Ben Affleck's playing Tony Mendez cover name? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.79.142.47 (talk) 19:55, 12 October 2012 (UTC)
 * Antonio Mendez appears to have travelled under his own name, according to hisown account of theCanadian Caper. The only cover name mentioned in this account is Teresa Harris, the supposed "story consultant" on the fake movie, which was assigned to one of the rescued women. -  Ka renjc 20:41, 12 October 2012 (UTC)


 * In the film, Tony Mendez uses the cover name of Ken Hastings. Speaking of the film Argo, who was the Cannes-award-winning producer played by Alan Arkin?  69.62.243.48 (talk) 01:54, 13 October 2012 (UTC)


 * According to this article, in the real-life escape,  ... Cora Lijek would become Teresa Harris, the writer. Mark [Lijek] was the transportation coordinator. Kathy Stafford was the set designer. Joe Stafford was an associate producer. [Robert] Anders was the director. [Lee] Schatz, the party’s cameraman, received the scoping lens and detailed specs on how to operate a Panaflex camera. No cover names for the other participants yet, but maybe knowing their assigned roles on the fake movie will help.  -  Ka renjc 18:05, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't mean the diplomats who were rescued, I mean the Alan Arkin character, in Hollywood, who helped to develop the film cover story. 69.62.243.48 (talk) 23:24, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
 * According to this NPR article, that character was not a real person, fictional.  The person John Goodman's portrays does exist in real life.  RudolfRed (talk) 23:33, 13 October 2012 (UTC)
