Trying to find 1970's or 80's scary movie, where in a scene these teenagers are in a haunted house, see a life size clown doll sitting in a rocky chair. They go to a closet near by & suddenly find the same looking clown in the closet & jokingly slap it up, only to turn around a see that the rocky chair is 'now' vacant.

The Creepy Doll trope appears quite often in horror fiction, with "haunted" dolls, killer dolls, etc. featured in several films. Poltergeist (1982 film) has a scene involving a clown doll: "Robbie is attacked by a clown doll in his bedroom". Dimadick ( talk) 22:27, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
Where was the hooker street scene in Full Metal Jacket filmed? The article doesn't say. Presumably it was a constructed set, but was it at Beckton Gas Works like the war scenes, or somewhere else? -- Viennese Waltz 10:23, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
In your reference it is showing $3,38 million but it is mentioned as $3.8 PLEASE CORRECT — Preceding unsigned comment added by 175.101.67.166 ( talk) 10:43, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
Vegas recently swept the first round of playoffs with 7 goals scored. Is this an all-time record? 37.244.218.48 ( talk) 14:32, 23 April 2018 (UTC)

Recently, I have been watching a few online videos by pianists where they use a stride technique in their left hand, where the bass and accompaniment are played with one hand. The right hand, meanwhile, plays the main melody. I have tried to learn to play this style recently.
What I am wondering is, why am I so bad at it. Every time I try to do the left hand part, my hand keeps missing the keys that I want to play and I end up playing the wrong notes as a result, I can’t seem to aim it correctly. Why is this, and what can I do to solve this issue and play stride piano correctly?
Also, the fastest I can go is painfully slow and I’m not very good at reading complex sheet music, though I’m trying to improve in this regard. Is there a way in which I can play stride piano without using sheet music?

When was the last time we saw the "swan" rest being used in international snooker? I remember using it all the time as a kid, but I can't recall ever seeing it on TV, back from Cliff Thorburn, Alex Higgins, through Steve Davis and Jimmy White, to Ronnie O'Sullivan and beyond. I sort of get why it exists in the first place, but was it designed to solve a snooker problem that no longer exists? The Rambling Man ( talk) 22:07, 23 April 2018 (UTC)
