I remember watching this Finnish film which, for the most part, had no dialogue and the main characters were a man and his alien cat who I think was named Doncy or Drancy (not sure though, and there was a villainous umlaut), and they lived on this planet in another galaxy. One day Voyager 2 (one of the Voyagers) crashed on their planet and they built a spaceship to fly them to Earth after they played the golden record. They found it was a barren hellscape and all that was left was a little shack where they met a black man who was one of the last remaining Earthlings who showed them a video that explained that war (possibly the War on Terror) had destroyed the planet. After hanging with the guy for a bit, they leave and he waves the off with a tear in his eye and just then the Earth is destroyed by Sol which becomes a blackhole (not actually possible of course as it is not massive enough). Has anyone else seen this film? If so, do you remember its name? I cannot remember it for the life of me. Sir William Matthew Flinders Petrie | Say Shalom! 12:57, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
So I gather that Tim Henmen only lost 4 points in the 3rd set against Ivanisavic in the 2001 Wimbledon Semifinal. Has anyone ever done better than that (in a major tournament that is, not just ever)? 91.85.140.182 ( talk) 15:34, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
It isn't as if I don't do reasonable research to find the title myself - but here it is; yet another title request for the geniuses on the Entertainment section.
A young Russian boy who is taught by his father to shoot wolves, becomes a sniper in the Russian army in WWII. He is very successful and the Germans get one of their best snipers who runs their sniper school to come and stalk and kill him. The film is all about their stalking of each other until the Russian eventually corners the German who removes his helmet so the Russian can take a clean shot - which he does. End of film. I don't know who played the Russian but the German officer is a well known 'face' - but his name also escapes me.
Title please??? And thank you so much in advance. Gurumaister ( talk) 18:15, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
Thank you Flinders - I appreciate that very much. Gurumaister ( talk) 17:15, 26 June 2011 (UTC)
I am a musician and a lawyer who understands Intellectual Property law, so please do not answer my question by saying 'you need to see a lawyer'. My question is this: How would I find the people responsible for administering the estate of George Harrision (ex Beatle)?. I want to know this so I can contact them to ask them if I may record a song I wrote about him which, in part, quotes a song that he wrote - so I want to know if they will allow me to do that. 75.118.136.173 ( talk) 19:39, 24 June 2011 (UTC)
