Welcome to my talk page

Welcome! If you want to talk to me just leave a message here and I'll get back to you! However I do ask that if I make a mistake or something- not to be unwikipedian or anything, please tell me the mistake first. Then give me a manual or something. Thanks!--VampireKen (talk) 23:30, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

Talk Page Reconstruction

To make it a little more simple my talk page will now have article sections so if you are talking to me about or related to a article just go to that section.--Darkness2light (talk) 04:17, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Halloween

I am currently working on or helping out with these articles: Halloween 4 (bad) Halloween (2007) (good)--Darkness2light (talk) 22:28, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Michael, Jason, and Freddy

The source is already on the talk page for Friday the 13th (you were right to remove the info, and that it should be on the franchise page). The reason that specific info isn't on the franchise page is because it's almost incoherent, and basically says "there isn't really a film right now". What the literal source says is that New Line (why they say New Line and not Warner Bros. is beyond me, since New Line doesn't exist anymore) and Platinum Dunes want to make a sequel and they supposedly have Shannon and Swift writing a treatment. Nispel has not been confirmed to return, and neither has Padalecki or Righetti (because they have other things they are doing at the moment and don't know about their schedules). It also says that the film has not even been officially green-lit by the company. That fact, plus the fact that all of the information comes from an "insider" (i.e. a scooper) makes it basically unpublishable. As for FvJ2, I haven't heard anything about that potential film.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 18:05, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Don't know. I know that Thorton is not Freddy, that was confirmed to be false a long time ago.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 17:42, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Not sure, you'd have to see what you can find first and I'd look at them too see if they were good refs.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 01:05, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

IMDb is generally never considered a reliable source. If the source contains user submitted information (which IMDb does), then you cannot use it because we cannot verify where they got that information from.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 01:36, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

At the moment we won't have to worry about the title, because we don't have enough for a page. I'd suspect that he'd issue out a teaser trailer before we actually have enough for a separate page, in such case we'll know what he's marketing it as officially. I've seen "H2" and "H2: Halloween 2" being used.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 03:29, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Link didn't work, but I have seen 4 new pictures. I'm curious as to why Tyler Mane is wearing a beard. I can deal with the long hair, but how much time is supposed to have passed in this new film that Michael has a beard longer than Grizzly Adams's beard??  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 00:49, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Here is a link to the beard photo, but I also read in a later report that the beard is pretty well hidden by the mask, and that I don't think it is supposed to be part of the character.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:00, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

I think it is supposed to be Haddonfield. Zombie is shooting in a different town this time. I'm not sure how long it is supposed to be after the first film, but that beard is well over a year old. I think Zombie said that Mane has been growing it since the last film. I'm not sure if he's going to make him shave it off, or what. He may never show Michael's face, and never have a reason to to explain the beard.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:27, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

I read that Daeg Faerch (sp) told reporters that young mike is being recast, because he has become too tall for the role.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 00:11, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

My DVD has Malek as the "Co-producer" and Moustapha as the "Executive producer". The only "Producers" of the film are Michael Leahy and Paul Freeman. The Weinstein brothers are executive producers, which means that only Leahy and Freeman should be listed with Halloween: Resurrection.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 20:11, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

That isn't an original mask from the first two films. If that's a Kirk mask they did something to it because it looks almost nothing like the originals. As for a source, if you're citing DVD commentary that's fine, but you cannot cite the film itself under the guise that you're the one making the observation. I haven't listened to the DVD commentary for Part 4, so I'm not sure if they address the mask or not.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 02:38, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah. Just use this citation: {{cite video|people=|title=|medium=|location=|publisher=[[Starz Home Entertainment|Anchor Bay]]|date=}} - In "people" just include the people who are talking on the commentary. For medium put "DVD". If it's not region 1 (i.e. If you live in the UK) then put the region (e.g., 2 or 4... like so "(region 4)"). For the title put something like "Halloween 4: The Return of Michael Myers DVD commentary". For the date section put the year the DVD was published. My personal one was published in 2006.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 20:50, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Only if they can be reliably sourced to show that it was their intention to reference Michael Myers, and in such case it would be more relevant to the Michael Myers article if that were true.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 01:20, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

This is an article, but I cannot find any visual proof (i.e. that he didn't get cut from the episode because of licensing issues, like Jason was cut from Supernatural last year).  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 01:37, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

I looked on YouTube, but I couldn't find anything. See if you can find a link to one of the vids for me. I'll add the Ghost Whisperer to the article for now.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 01:52, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Hmm, that one I'd drop over at the talk page for Halloween (1978 film), and let the primary editors over there deal with it (if they don't already have a popular culture section), because that's dealing strictly with the first film and only in an indirect way.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 02:01, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, it was a nice touch, even though the whole thing was kind of cheesy. I mean, it would have been funnier if the ghost had used Ben Willis, given that Jennifer Love Hewitt was in I Know What You Did Last Summer.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 02:21, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Maybe. He was originally going to be straight up, they supposedly had the license and everything. Then apparently the license wasn't given and so it was going to be someone who looked like him, but couldn't exactly the same. Then, they decided just to remove him completely, thus we removed it from the article because it never came to fruition and the page is too long to cover things that don't happen.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 03:12, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Not for remakes. It isn't a continuation of some story, based on those characters, it's a restart. To clarify, the reason something like F13 or Casino Royale have them is because there were sequels that followed the original and these movies are part of the same series they are just trying to reboot the continuity of those film series. There is no continuity for Last House, it's a single film. Otherwise, we'd have an endless line of Pride & Prejudice films, since that movie has been remake a dozen times. Anyway, since you've seen the film would you mind spoofing up the plot section (in the vain of the Friday the 13th article)? I haven't seen the film yet so I cannot really touch it. Did you enjoy the movie?  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 15:06, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

You can create a "Sources" section on the talk page to dump any possible sources for later use.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 19:12, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

I haven't had a chance to see it yet. I was hoping to see it this weekend, but I might not get the chance.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:45, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

The Amityville Horror

The proposed film you cited is about the the cast and crew of a reality ghost-hunting show that visits the Amityville house. It certainly can be considered part of the Amityville Horror franchise but it definitely is not a sequel to this specific film and should not be described as such. If you feel mention of it at this early stage is appropriate, then I suggest you add it to the Films section in the article The Amityville Horror. Thanks! LiteraryMaven (talk • contrib) 14:57, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello! I responded to the comment you posted on my talk page immediately below it but decided to repeat it here to make certain you read it. The IMDb entry you cited actually was copied from ShockTillYouDrop.com [1], which credits it to The Hollywood Reporter. The fact someone writing for that newspaper chooses to describe The Amityville Tapes as a sequel to the remake doesn't make it so. By its very definition, a sequel is a literary work or film that continues a story begun in a previous work. If The Anderson Tapes continued the saga of the Lutz family, it would qualify, but this is simply another rip-off trying to cash in on the Amityville Horror reputation. Note that the entry you cited continues, "Insiders tell us the next chapter in the Amityville franchise has been a priority for company in the last few months," which supports my belief that any information about this proposed film belongs in the main article for The Amityville Horror and should not be described as a sequel in the article about the 2005 remake. Thanks! LiteraryMaven (talk • contrib) 14:26, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

H2

Yeah, I saw the hoodie awhile ago. They released a picture of it. I was not entirely impressed with the trailer, but it was more because it didn't really do anything new for me. It seemed to be a moving picture show of what we've already seen.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:47, 24 April 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, I got tired of fighting the people coming in and creating an article with the wrong name in an effort to get around the redirects. I have a couple of sources that really are not about production, but I might be able to scrape some info out of them to at least flesh this article at a little bit more than it currently is.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 20:19, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

I just didn't have a source for her, but I found one. I wouldn't include her in the lead though because she's probably more of a cameo role.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 21:51, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Dourif is definitely in it. I'm sure Moon is in more than him. Frankly, I wouldn't mind removing Danielle Harris from the lead, and leaving it as just Loomis, Laurie and Michael since they are the only "lead" characters of the last film. Everyone else was really a supporting role to those three.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 00:00, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Cool. Just upload it overtop of the current one. That way we don't have to worry about going through the orphanbot and stuff. Just adjust the info accordingly.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 16:54, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Halloween

I saw it at midnight. It was interesting. I didn't not like it, but I didn't love it either. I thought it was beautifully shot, and I kind of liked the psychological aspect with it, but Michael's 20 stabbings per victim became tiresome (he seemed less Michael like, and more Jason like in his killings).  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 01:01, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

There were a couple of scenes where they show his face, and I liked how Zombie lit his face so that his beard was barely visible but his eyes were highlighted. I felt really sorry for Brackett, I thought he was a truly tragic character. As far as the ending goes, they could make a third film and go in two directions. They could make Laurie the killer, or they could tweak the backstory just to enough to concretely say that Laurie was the killer in Halloween II (i.e. that she hallucinated Michael's presence, which would not be a stretch given the ending of the film) and thus Michael is "still out there". Then they could pick the franchise back up. I doubt they'll do either. It seems like they'll probably just let this be the last, which I think is fitting. Let Zombie's vision be Zombie's vision. I don't think I'd like someone else coming in and trying to make their movie on top of Zombie's established continuity (not saying his is the best continuity, but here is a huge difference between Carpenter's film and everyone else's film).  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 04:34, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Try explaining it to them on their talk page. They may not look at the history and see your edit summaries. Do the same for any IPs. Sometimes it just takes a personal mentioning where they can see it. If that doesn't help, then you can request an admin step in, or a page protection until they at least acknowledge your comments.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 23:36, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Fictional characters do not get birth and death dates. They should be removed outright. The information isn't encyclopedic, because from a real world perspective you cannot have a "birthdate" or a "deathdate".  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 02:03, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah. I've cleaned it up, but the source is saying that Bob Weinstein said this personally. Unless a new source comes out saying it's a lie, we'll have to take it at face value.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 04:51, 31 August 2009 (UTC)

Character articles shouldn't have a "status" field. Their "status" should be reflected in their appearance section. In Michael's case, he status at the end of each film is typically noted. I don't think it's noted in this recent film because the recent film doesn't have an elaborate plot written out, just a basic synopsis.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 17:32, 3 September 2009 (UTC)

The film is called Halloween II, but if someone identifies it as "the sequel to the 2007 remake" that's just as fine. As long as they don't identify it as "H2" or something that isn't its official title, then we have a problem. Also, if you list it as Halloween II (2009 film), make sure you pipe the link so that it only shows the name of the film and not the name of the article (Halloween II is actually [[Halloween II (2009 film)|Halloween II]]).  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 01:36, 6 September 2009 (UTC)

Not unless there are reliable sources talking about characteristic changes (as they would go in the Characteristics section). Otherwise, it's just personal observations.  BIGNOLE  (Contact me) 19:43, 6 September 2009 (UTC)
