Yeah, I keep wondering what to put in about the reaction to the trailer and the release date move every time I get yet another Google news alert about the damn thing. I think what's stopped me so far has been that the coverage has almost entirely been driven by that idiot from Fox; people are commenting on his commenting on the film's trailer! One story in the UK I saw read, "...and already it has been panned by critics who have had a sneak peek at the film..." with this guy as their "source". People are just desperately trying to clamber onto the "let's beat on Tom Cruise" bandwagon any way they can. Anyway, I'm done ranting. Crappy journalism is one of my pet hates. Have a good one, Steve T • C 19:45, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
Because if they are you could try the nobot template. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 20:41, 3 May 2008 (UTC)
The article Step Up to the Plate, which you proposed for deletion, claims it is set for a July 2007 release date. That was almost a year ago. So this is obviously not a future film any more, either it was already released or it never was. JIP | Talk 04:45, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, That site I put in the article has all the cast promo pictures that are scattered around, hard to find and/or removed on other sites. If I cant link to the pictures, should I upload them all to the article or something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gijoelover (talk • contribs) 19:49, 5 May 2008 (UTC)
I brought the film back. The filming started a week ago on this film. Any suggestions? ReadQT (talk) 16:56, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks Erik for you help.ReadQT (talk) 17:03, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
The actual script has been circulating around Decatur where the filming is taking place, and this synopsis summarizes the script for the film more than the book. ReadQT (talk) 17:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

So, hot or not? And are you enjoying Potter? Alientraveller (talk) 11:33, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Would you object if I nominated you to be an Admin? SilkTork *YES! 19:12, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Erik,
I wonder if I could ask for your thoughts on this article, 1984 (television commercial). While technically a commercial, it is a work by Ridley Scott and the subject of study by scholars. I am thus treating it as a film article. Sources are needed and I am going to reformat it according to Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines at some point. However, I am wondering about one section called "dialogue" which offers the entire spoken text of the ad. This seems to me potentially a Wikipedia:Copyrights problem though I wanted to run this by you since you are more experienced with these issues. I am wondering if the entire section (particularly the second part which isn't sourced) should just be removed. When you have a chance, please take a look. Thanks and hope all is well, -Classicfilms (talk) 18:19, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
Is there anyway that I can get some feedback, concerning a Batman fellow? -- ThinkBlue (Hit BLUE) 02:57, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Erik, I have a favour to ask. Unless I'm going crazy, the image on the Twilight film page is now showing up as the book jacket cover (the arms holding the apple) instead of the promotional movie poster. The correct image is seen here, but it shows up incorrectly in the article. Do you know how to fix this? Thank you. Andrea (talk) 02:13, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Any insights you might offer to this discussion would be helpful and appreciated. : ) --MPerel 03:49, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
Is there some reason why a number of previously acceptable images are now being challenged and removed? Please see: <Image:Ashanti.jpg> which I had put up on a sandbox page temporarily and was used by User:Limetolime for the article he was working on, The Muppets' Wizard of Oz. Another editor has challenged its status (but has not given a reason) while the other challenges and deletions seem to be coming from bots and admins. Whazzup? FWiW Bzuk (talk) 12:20, 12 May 2008 (UTC).
I like the Harry Potter films (although it says something I chose to wait for a box set of all eight films, in contrast to me buying the extended editions of Rings and Narnia). Ah, memories, I absorbed the first four books quite quickly (and in the wrong order I might add). Glad you enjoyed Iron Man, and hopefully you'll be back regularly in no time.
By the way, check out the mini-movies here. Love Lego parodies. Alientraveller (talk) 08:55, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello again! I would like to thank you once more for your assistance and support in writing this article, and I'd like to let you know that I nominated it for Featured Article. If you haven't read it in a while, please do so. I would also appreciate your comments in the FAC process. You can find the nomination here. Thanks again. --Moni3 (talk) 13:07, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Could you review Fires on the Plain (film)? This is not a review for B class, I'd just like an opinion about it. Me and Dekkapai have worked on it quite a bit. It would be appreciated if you could get to this quickly. Oh, and if you could give me an opinion on my new section in WP:film talk page "Saving Private Ryan - Sniper issue" that would be appreciated as well. I will ask other editors about this as well. Happy editing! Yojimbo501 (talk) 01:40, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
Just want to make certain the last thread does not escape notice. Hope you've been well! Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 20:18, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
If you question intent of removal of some of the content, it can normally be solved by simply looking at the talk page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mormon88 (talk • contribs) 00:16, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi Eric, I've asked about this before and it is still there, you have my site listed on your black list http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Erik/Linkspam_blacklist. I have not tried adding my site, which is a useful film fan site to wikipedia for ages because you kept removing the links, and life is too short etc. But you have it on your black list. I'm not bothered that it's there except for the fact that is appears on google listing. Please remove the link, and also an explanation of why it's there would be useful. I have tried removing it myself but you keep putting it back, clearly you feel it needs to be there? Thanks, owner of flixit.co.uk. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Cantfindausrname (talk • contribs) 11:52, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm considering invoking WP:IAR for the LOTR prequel films. There's so much information I feel that even if those films are not made, nonetheless, there's a goldmine of info about the struggle to get it produced. Alientraveller (talk) 21:20, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Is it not possible to integrate the body of this article into either Works inspired by J. R. R. TolkienorAdaptations of The Lord of the Rings? (Perhaps changing the name of the latter or splitting off its film section into Film adaptations of J. R. R. Tolkien or the like?) This would solve the problem rather easily and avoid any potential problems arising should the project stall. I think IAR would be a slippery slope which leads to premature articles on "sure things", which is precisely why we instituted NFF to begin with. For this subject in particular, they are not even shooting until 2010, and there is still a lawsuit ongoing that is attempting to block the film. No one is asking for content deletion, but let's be consistent or scrap NFF altogether - otherwise we're open to accusations of bias. Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 04:40, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for letting me know, and hey if you want (if you haven't already), join the new Gears of War Task Force. You'd be a really valuable member of the task force! JayJ47 (talk) 23:21, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi. I'd like to know why you created the redirect at Thor (2010 film). As far as I can tell from Thor_(2010_film)#Live-action_film, no release date for the live-action film has been revealed. All that has been said is that Thor will have a part in the 2010 Iron Man 2 film. On the other hand, there IS a 2010 Thor film coming up, but it will be animated, made in Iceland, and star the mythical Thor rather than the Marvel Comics one: [1] Esn (talk) 07:18, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
Hey Erik,
You were wondering about the Weasel words on the Hancock movie article. It seems you did not know what that meant, but there were plenty of them and unsourced info, as well as non-neutrality. Take a look at WP:WEASEL for more info. I undid your edit, and also fixed the format of that Weasel template. Take care ~ GoldenGoose100 (talk) 02:04, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
The Coventry Telegraph? LOL at that; I'm surprised it even showed up in the Google news alerts. I'd feel bad for dropping this guy a knowing line, but his 'article' is the same kind of hack-job you see from these people all the time: shallowly researched and full of supposition. Now, what to do about Mark Kermode's lazily lifting from Changeling (film) while reporting from Cannes this year? TBH, I feel quite pleased about that one... Steve T • C 22:29, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi Erik! I noticed you made some contributions to the wiki on the film The Invasion. Do you know the name of the actress who gets undressed and gets into bed with Tucker Kaufman at the beginning of the film right before he becomes infected?
Thanks! --Zwikiz (talk) 04:33, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi Erik. I was wondering if you could take the time to review The Texas Chain Saw Massacre article, as I am currently trying to make it a Featured Article. It would be greatly appreciated Thanks, --EclipseSSD (talk) 18:31, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
Where do you get all your knowledge about movies? There is so much you know about movies that you can't know just by simply watching them. I really am wondering where you get your huge knowledge about movies. Is any particular channel you watch? Do you go to movie school? Of course if that's personal I can respect that, I just can't believe how much you know about movies besides the plots. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 18:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
(for you, Big or Alien): If an image is deleted, how does one track down when it was deleted. An image was removed from the Braveheart article, and I never saw a notice in the article regarding it's pending removal status, and cannot seem to find a record of it being nominated for removal. Help? - Arcayne (cast a spell) 14:45, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
If you could please join our discussion regarding the matter at WT:FILMC, I'd be very appreciative - we need some more coordinator discussion in order to resolve the issue of the proposed A-class review changes. Thanks, Girolamo Savonarola (talk) 20:30, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
So are you pissed about someone copying your work without mentioning where they got it from? TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 22:31, 16 June 2008 (UTC)
Have you checked out the sneak peak at Two-Face? BIGNOLE (Contact me) 04:02, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up - I'll take it in mind next time I come across a ropey internet rumour! The rumours also appear on James McAvoy's homepage, so they might need removing aswell thanks (Asabovesobellow (talk) 21:57, 17 June 2008 (UTC))
Erik, I'm becoming exhausted in trying to provide some guidance, and this time I think he's stirred up a hornet's nest. Maybe as a fellow coordinator, he'll listen . . . .

Hi Eric,do you remmember me. I'm back to edit some more and was hoping you could help. I've been away for awhile and now there letting me edit on wiki. Thanks and hi again Boggydark (talk) 22:26, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Im thinking maybe the dark night page would be good to edit. It needs it! Can I ask what happend to Ace? Boggydark (talk) 22:54, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
...for saying so! That was nice of you to take the time to do. Cheers and regard, --Tenebrae (talk) 13:15, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for the heads up/note. Cirt (talk) 01:17, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for offering help! That's really kind of you. But right now, I don't have many questions. The only thing I want to know is how to make friends on Wikipedia. I don't know if I'd consider Bignole my friend, since we've only known each other for a couple of days. I don't think you and I are friend quite yet either. I just feel like everyone here has so many connections with other Wikipedians, and I barely know anyone. What should I do? --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 17:44, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
I do have one question though. On your userpage (in the miscellaneous section) it says that you and Bignole actually run Wikipedia. Is that true/ Does that make you an Admin? --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 17:46, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Oh, I understand. I have made one friend though, who I met from editing an article about our hometown. (We both used to live in the same town, but now she moved away. At least I think she's a she...(: ) I know I may sound ridiculous asking this but.........would you like to be friends? Oh god, I totally regret saying that! --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 17:55, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
OMG! Thank you! I totally thought you'd just treat me like crap when I asked that, but now I feel much better! Hopefully, now I won't seem like such a fish out of water! --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 18:01, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
I may be new to Wikipedia, but I'm not completely clueless! It was nice of you to add that info on my talk page, but I already now all that stuff! But it was a nice jesture! (I joined Wikipedia 2 months ago, so I pretty much know the ropes by now!) --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 18:08, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
I do have another question though. For my userpage, I want to make different sections for my userboxes. I don't know how to do that. Could you help me? --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 18:10, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
I actually wanted different userboxes to be in different sections. (i.e, Sports, Animals, Personal) --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 18:18, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for doing that! I'll fix it up the way I want later. Geez, you're such a nice guy! --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 19:36, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
CHECK OUT MY USERPAGE! It looks great! --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 19:53, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for fixing that! But also, you know where it says, "My Userboxes!", why is it in that weird box and in that weird font? What's up with that? Can you fix it? --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 19:58, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for clearing that up! Give Bignole my thanks! --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 20:03, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Can you un-center the stuff on my talk page for me? I tried, but failed. --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 20:18, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Nevermind! --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 20:19, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
I know! I hate it when you forget little tiny things after thinking you have everything! Well, I hope you have a great trip! Talk to you when you get back! --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 20:17, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
You can now read my most recent ones. Go check it out, my most recent ones have a text version in the end. Remember to click pause. I hope you already have a YouTube account because I'd love to get a comment from you. TheBlazikenMaster (talk) 18:37, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
The difference between the new Friday the 13th and those films is that it has completely wrapped principal photography and has already begun editing. It has a release date and is already in post-production. If we removed every film that was in post-production from wikipedia, 2009 in film and 2010 in film would be empty. Friday the 13th (2009) should, by this point, have its own page here.DepTrus (talk) 20:06, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
Yeah, I didn't notice at first, but it definitely seems to follow a similar path to the article. But like I said the other day after the Kermode thing, we should probably just take it as a compliment that people are using our hard work in the way it was intended. In Hancock's week of release, it'll be an interesting game to see just how many articles are lifting sections without even bothering to paraphrase. Steve T • C 22:34, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
All those images but the last are copyrighted ("all rights reserved"), except the last image of Will and Charlize, but that's not allowed on Commons as it can't be used commercially (notice the stamp crossing out the dollar sign). Alientraveller (talk) 18:54, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Isthat the sort of thing you had in mind for reflecting the consensus? I tried to bulk it up as much as I could, but it still seems a little short. Ah, no matter. As for adding some more actual reviews, I'll see what I can knock together tomorrow. Steve T • C 20:15, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
Note, I've moved the work-in-progress text to its own dedicated page at User:Steve/Reception, and your comments to its talk page, here. Steve T • C 20:04, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
oops I didnt know not to do that. I guess I should say hello on talk page I though I was doing that. Anyway, I got home from the place today, and they gave me time to edit, but only for a little time like everyday. Then I go back in the room and they close the door with key. I wish i still had internet like before. I think Ill do the page like you said, another movie maybe. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Boggydark (talk • contribs) 00:43, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
I am worried the darkknightt page will suffer, and it mihgt slip. but if you dont think I should edit then okay. Im just glad to be back, but bignole neve talks or does Ace. Is he still gone. Do you have his number. Boggydark (talk) 00:46, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi. Just thought I'd say thank you again for all your help. I really appreciate it! You have no idea how much it means to me. --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 14:07, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
It'll be nice to see some friends of yours. What kind of convention? --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 14:16, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
If you feel like you're forgetting someting, make a checklist of everything you need and make sure it's all in your suitcases. Whenever I am packing for a trip or vacation, I make a list of all the things I need and pack them. After I pack them, I check off that item. I've never forgotten anything since. --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 14:31, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
Hi Erik. I uh don't know if you're back yet or not, so I thought I'd just drop by and say hi. (Hey, that rhymes!)So um yeah, bye. --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 22:12, 30 June 2008 (UTC)
Well, that's good to hear. I didn't really have a great weekend though. During my best friend, Leah's birthday party, she got a text message that said her cousin, Krista, had just died in a car accident. It happnened on her actual birthday too, which is just terrible. Leah told me that her cousin and her aunt were driving to the party, but a DUI truck driver rammed into them on the highway. It's just awful really. Her aunt lived though, because the truck hit the car on the shotgun side, where Krista was sitting. Krista was only 19 too.
Well anyway, do you like the cookie I gave you? --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 14:17, 1 July 2008 (UTC)
I can't wait for the fourth either! In my town, just about everybody goes to the town high school, and brings lawn chairs and blankets to watch the fire works, which are set off in the baseball field behind some trees. (so no one can see!) But where I live, my whole family is able to see the fireworks from our porch. We live up on a big hill, and the high school is at the bottom of the hill. It's great because we can just relax, chill out and have some food, all in the comfort of our own home. --Soccer5525 (Tk • Ctrb) 14:33, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Erik you know I had a petition sighn for me to make the "changes from the series" and the "Critism" Sections of Dragon Ball (film). Ever hear of Deadlock 04, he sighned too. i have counted 546 on 70 peices of paper in the last two months. I decided to actually put it on wikipedia because so many fans, including people at the barber shop, the laundry mat, the school principal, and so on. Like I would just put my own opinion about the movie on the internet. I wasn't even going to write this if it weren't for 554 fan's that say the movie changed and sucks and that you Erika sucks. You could have asked me about this before you assumed it was only me.
Sighn, Matt Belissta. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.207.15.39 (talk • contribs) 13:23, June 27, 2008
