Watching ESPN's SportCenter, I just saw a reply of the start of a recent international football match, in which a Saudi player scored on the opening kick (or whatever you call it), with about two seconds elapsed. Any idea whom the Saudis were playing? I couldn't find anything online. Nyttend ( talk) 00:00, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
sometimes late-night comedians say "i'm not making this up" to share true news from the world. do they ever say the same expression when they clearly ARE making it up, or does that expression remain sacred? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.181.147.202 ( talk) 00:24, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
I love that film Fargo, and I did believe initially that it was true, although I was concerned about a pregnant police woman being still on duty, at risk of being shot, or her baby hurt, as occurred in an episode of the Rookies, or SWAT - I think the cop's wife was a nurse played by Kate Jackson, shot in the back in a restaurant while pregnant, losing the baby. Although not true, it is one that could be true, because, as I say to my nephew when explaining how a lot of drama on TV can be a reflection of real life - except of course, that Hollywood over dramatises that stuff - I say, it could be true, after all, it's not as if you see any aliens in it, or superheroes, so it has some feel of reality about it. As for those bits at the end telling what happened to the characters, some are amusing and make you realise it is all part of the untrue story, like the end of Jason Biggs' and Mena Suvari's ( she is nice ) movie Loser, or another I saw the end of, and cannot remember the title. Some time in the movie two people, I shall call Dick and Jane, were killed, and at the end, the film goes through what happened to the characters, something like ; Freddie went nuts, escaped the funny farm, enlisted in the John McCain ( you've done it again ) campaign, and felt right at home ; Freddie went to work for Saab as a crash test dummy; Sheila moved to Cleveland ; and it continues like that, finishing with and Dick and Jane are still dead. But again, I cannot recall which film it was. Even if the story is true, Hollywood and his fiscal friends will alter it for artistic monetary concerns, like filmed biographies of famous people. An example is the excellent British series the Tudors, which I know is not 100% historically accurate, but still educational. If I were filming history I would try to keep it as true as possible, but may be there is a worldwide teachers' association forcing movie makers to add invented things into their films, so that when illiterate Johnny has to do his book report on Lady Jane Grey, he cannot cheat by watching the lovely Helena Bonham Carter ( at the time of filming around the right age for her character ), and later Princess Bride star Cary Elwes, without opening a book. Otherwise the scene in the movie about Mr. Spock sharpening the axe at the excecution might ring alarm bells. Just kidding. Spock wasn't in that film, it was Uhura. The Russian 202.36.179.66 ( talk) 01:38, 16 November 2009 (UTC).
As for other mockumentaries, check out Peter Jackson's Forgotten Silver, about a fictitious NZ film pioneer. Good to see him on Entourage as himself, talking to Kevin Connolly, while filming green screen for a movie or video game. The Russian 202.36.179.66 ( talk) 01:38, 16 November 2009 (UTC)
Conan O'Brien used to have an equivalent to Jay Leno's Headlines, in which he showed funny things in newspapers. Conan would preface every segment by saying, "You can't make this stuff up." But unlike Leno's newspapers, Conan's newspapers were entirely made up -- they came from newspapers that didn't exist. (Such as the "Columbus Tribune" in Columbus, Ohio, or something.) -- Mwalcoff ( talk) 13:46, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
Are there any porn stars who have children who have gotten involved in the industry (specifically, acting)? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.250.117.26 ( talk) 05:06, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
Can anybody tell me where I find the music sheet on how to play Guang Liang's song Tong Hua? I would really appreciate it if someone can help. -- Queen Elizabeth II's Little Spy ( talk) 07:28, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
Why Michael Keaton didn't reprise his role as Batman in Batman Forever? David Pro ( talk) 12:57, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
Why are movies delayed for release in different countries? E.g. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0898367/releaseinfo - does this often occur and are the delays usually according to the same schedule?
It featured an high scool and the students in many years always the same street and same school but different cars and clothes , There was always this flag with "Class of 1970" - Class of 2000" ... There was an VW Campervan in 1970, then in 1980 an VW Beetle ... and so on. THANKS it was made/produced in 2000 - 2005 :) 85.220.45.231 ( talk) 20:06, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
Thanks in Advance, I Remember this video on the TV in 2004 like yesterday :D 85.220.45.231 ( talk) 20:29, 14 November 2009 (UTC)
It doesn't fit perfectly with your description, but could it be 'Everybody's Free (To Wear Sunscreen)' by Baz Luhrmann? Youtube link to video -- Joe Talk Work 02:12, 17 November 2009 (UTC)
