Talk about me. NOW.

Re: Braveheart

Fine then. Explain it to me. It's used as a reference to the film. How is it not at all a reference? Explain how this possibly works. - Amedeus (talk) 20:15, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Okay, the prerequisite for notability means that the film making the reference closely follows the referenced film in more ways than one or two statements. The South Park episode copies the theme and specific scenes from Braveheart, in that case, the speech at Stirling Bridge (gah, I'm going to hate myself it was Falkirk). The reference used in the American version of The Office specifically refers to Braveheart as the source for prima noctes, and one of the characters throws in that it "is confimed on Wikipedia" to boot. That's pretty notable. The third reference, the Daxter video game unlockable sequence is specifcally from the dream sequence wherein Wallace talks to Murron in the woods. All of these references either copy a scene or specifically refer to Braveheart by name before mimicking the film in some way.
Your inclusion of Baseketball references a line in Braveheart while speaking in a Scottish accent. If they copied the entire scene, complete with thistle and riding in the rain, then it would be notable. As it is, it copies a line, which isn't really notable enough for inclusion. I hope that helps explain what I meant. - Arcayne (^{cast a spell}) 02:24, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
