May 3[edit]

cuban music art and dance[edit]

what types of music art and dances do cubans preform make or liten to. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 75.41.23.237 (talk) 02:49, 3 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

See Music of Cuba. bibliomaniac 1 5 04:08, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Been there, done that[edit]

I tried adding that information. But I was afraid I might copy it from TV Guide or from my local news, both of which I didn't want to do. When I added in the information and saved the page, someone deleted it. I'm referring to the "One Life to Live" high school hostage situation storyline softening, out of respect for the Virginia Tech massacre victims. Perhaps someone out there might have more information. Someone, anyone?72.229.130.76 03:10, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see in the edit history you adding to the article. Clarityfiend 05:41, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

72.229 added the information to the Virginia Tech massacre article on April 30 at 14:29, however with an incorrect ref tag. The tag was subsequently edited out at 14:49, and then another editor, presumably after edit conflict, removed the information completely at 14:50. It seems to be a case of overzealous editing, nothing sinister. In any case, 72, you should take this up on the talk page for that article, or on the One Life to Live talk page if you'd like to add it there. --LarryMac 15:13, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looked in the wrong article...or rather the right one. IMO, that definitely does not belong in the Virginia Tech massacre article. Clarityfiend 18:06, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We all know that Brazil are the kings of football...[edit]

...but which is the most successful Brazillian football club in history? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 59.189.66.44 (talk) 12:16, 3 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Campeonato Brasileiro Série A might help. Looks like five clubs are tied at the top with four league titles each. --Richardrj ^talk ^email 13:24, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Looking a little more closely, you might argue that Flamengo is the most successful, having (possibly) won a fifth title, although, as you will discover by reading the article, there is an excellently bizarre story associated with the 1987 Brazilian National Championship. In addition, they have won the Brazil Cup twice, giving them six (or seven) total titles between what I believe are the most important measures of on-field success in Brazilian domestic football. Other contenders are Corinthians (4 league titles, 2 cups), and Gremio (2 league titles, 4 cups) - you could also consider Sao Paulo, who have won the Copa Libertadores three times, more than any other Brazilian team (to go along with four league titles). Gremio have won the Copa twice, Flamengo once, and Corinthians not at all, for comparison. Carom 13:46, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Yeeees, but... the Série A has only been running 35 years or so in that format. If you want the all-time top club, then you've also got to mention teams like Santos, who from the late 1950s to mid 1970s were virtually unbeatable, largely due to one man - Pele. Grutness...wha? 14:00, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed - I neglected to look back far enough. Carom 15:48, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Besides league titles, we should also consider which club has been most successful in domestic cup competitions, and most importantly, which club has been most successful in continential competitions. Since the standard of football has risen over the years, slightly greater emphasis should be placed on more recent achievements. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.172.205.146 (talk) 07:55, 4 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Connections?[edit]

How would both talk pages be significant? I mean who'd provide the appropriate information about the softened "One Life to Live" storyline involving a high school hostage situation, now that type of manuever was done out of respect for the Virginia Tech massacre victims? I don't want to copy any information from TV Guide or from my local news. If someone has the right information and references, please feel free to add it on to the articles about the soap opera and the tragedy.72.229.130.76 15:47, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Do us a favor and keep your remarks on this subject in one section. —Tamfang 07:16, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Velma Middleton & Louis Armstrong[edit]

Are there any video recordings of Louis and Velma doing there famous Baby, It's Cold Outside? I've looked on all the video sharing sites and didn't find anything (note: sometimes the recording is mis-attributed to Ella). I don't need an online version, I just need to know if it was filmed and where I can find it. Thanks. --Cody.Pope 16:36, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Was Maud Adams the only actress to be a Bond girl twice?[edit]

Maud Adams starred in The Man With the Golden Gun and Octopussy. Did any other actress play a Bond girl twice (not counting Miss Moneypenny or other recurring characters, and not counting Adams's alleged extra appearance in A View to a Kill)? Entheta 17:07, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

According to Bond girl#History, she was the only one. Clarityfiend 01:45, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A midsummer night's dream[edit]

There once was a movie based on a shakespears play called "a midsummer nights dream". The actor that played demetrious was the actor that played batman in "batman begins".I was wondering if there is a video on youtube or googlevideo that shows Act 2 and Act 3. If there is nothing like that on youtube or google than can someone please post Act 2 and Act3. Thank you for ur time. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Asdfjkl;73 (talk • contribs) 19:57, 3 May 2007 (UTC).[reply]

I've managed to track down the IMDB entry for that particular production, unfortunately I haven't found much else about it, wikipedia doesn't even have an article for that particular film, it's just a footnote at the bottom of our article on A Midsummer Night's Dream--VectorPotential^Talk 23:36, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help but I would really appreciate it if someone posted the video on youtube or googlevideo and then gave me a link to it over here.

That is unlikely to happen due to copyright concerns, but you can buy it at amazon for $9.98. Corvus cornix 02:12, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is'nt it possible to post the video by posting it in fragments?(10 minutes per part?)

Yes, but you would need to find someone here who (a) has the film, (b) doesn't care about the fact that they would be infringing copyright and (c) is kind enough to, or can be bothered to carry out this laborious task for you. All told, it's unlikely to happen. Buy the DVD if you need to see it that badly. --Richardrj ^talk ^email 15:28, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

We're calling, we're calling the hunter, where can the hunter be?[edit]

A very long time ago, roughly around when Toon Heads started on the Cartoon Network, I saw this short about a town that had a lion or a tiger or something bothering it. They decided a "hunter" needed to be called in. The cartoon was probably from the late sixties, early seventies, and was a standalone. The question was sung: "We're calling, we're calling the Hunter, where can the Hunter be?" They kept repeating it, and showed all of these little, different colored faces (almost Terrance and Phillip style, now that I think about it,) singing the same line. They kept repeating it: chorus style; until the narrator found the hunter somewhere in Africa, and he came to help the town. They may have listed all the different places he wasn't, I don't really recall. He was dressed in the classic English safari outfit-type-thing, with the Panama hat, khakis and bushy, white mustache. The song stayed in my head. Then, again, about ten years ago, at around three o'clock in the morning, the same short was shown. This tune haunts me. Every so often, it sneaks up on me and pops into my head. I can't get it out for days, sometimes weeks. The tune is really haunting. I have sent a couple of emails to both Toon Heads and Adult Swim, as well as the contact department of Cartoon network, all to no avail. It's kind of like the hiccups in that it's not really important until it arrives, then it gets really distracting. Usually, like hiccups, it comes in waves. I won't think of it for a long time, then three times in a month it all pops up. I don't know how many more details I can give about it, or if anyone else has any idea what I'm talking about, but any help would be most appreciated. 151.71.162.143 20:43, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think there might be some information for you on this page; I'd review it in more detail, but I really have to step out for awhile. --LarryMac 20:51, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm back now . . . after reading through the page I linked, what I have gathered is that The Hunter was a cartoon sometimes shown as part of King Leonardo and his Short Subjects, but also shown as part of Underdog. The page seems to indicate that the "calling the hunter" song was used on the Underdog shows. However, the cartoon described on our King Leonardo and Underdog pages does not particularly match what you have described, although the song seems to match. I hope this is slightly helpful. --LarryMac 21:58, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, and look, here's a link to the song. BTW, Commander McBragg was from the same studio, and he sometimes wore a safari suit, perhaps you are conflating the two. --LarryMac 22:11, 3 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think I remember this. Was the trouble in the town that some villain had stolen all the town's spoons? Garzooma (talk) 05:23, 19 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
