Hey, from Steve Eifert

[edit]

Luigibob: Great to hear from you. I'm glad someone's looking at the noir pages. (And I'm glad people keep correcting them!) I think this will be, in a few years, a great site for movie buffs. IMDB is great, but this could top it. I read your bio. I used to do PR in the Navy about 12 years ago, and now I work in television. Anyway, keep up the great work!

Hi

I Ernst Stavro Blofeld present you with this Latin barn-star for all of the hard work you've done on Argentine cinema and Latin film is general -your contribution to New Wave Argentine film and all cinema personalities is much appreciated!Sir Blofeld

♦ Sir Blofeld ♦ "I've been expecting you" 10:24, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

You are most welcome! :)
Glad that, you have noticed my nomination. Hope it gets featured and makes into the main page.

Good evening. I have just seen the renewed article on Bonbom. Thank you for making it more professional. I loved the film, and extended the plot narrative. I appreciate your edits. Best wishesLuckyles 21:16, 22 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

DYK

[edit]
Updated DYK query On 24 March, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article The Dove (1974 film), which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the "Did you know?" talk page.

Great job on the noir pages

[edit]

I haven't done much work here at WP lately. They changed all the rules about images so a lot of my work got blown out since I've been inactive. I hoped guys like you would expand the pages, but every time I log in I see more of my poster scans deleted by a bot when a rationale for having them there would be very easy to add.

Anyway, I still use Wikipedia and I hope the noir section continues to grow. Steve-O (talk) 00:21, 22 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Part two

[edit]

One additional thing: because PLOT denotes a work of FICTION, should not the PLOT section in documentary films be/remain synopsis? I think it should. Thanks. ♦ Luigibob ♦ "Talk to Luigi!" 18:05, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

O shoot - have I been changing documentary films? I thought I was keeping an eye out for that. I'm wary of documentary films, music videos, porn, etc - but it's likely that one or more have slipped by me. I've been at home these past few days with a cold, just wanting to do something simple like run an AWB sweep. There are things I could be doing, but I just don't have th energy for it. I guess my concentration is not what it should be. Do you know of any documentaries I have changed? Regards SilkTork *What's YOUR point? 18:20, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Silky: You changed American Dream (film), but not to worry I'll change it back now. I'm glad we're in synch. I like you're comments re CAST in 12 Monkeys. I don't like those CAST TEMPLATES as they look terrible. I prefer the "cast as" as per WP:MOS. More on this type of stuff later. If I have a question, I add to "part three" of this on-going dialogue. Best-- Luigibob (talk) 21:00, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've seen what you've done to Cast on 12 Monkeys. Much better. It's now flexible so people can easily add information if they wish, in the true cooperative spirit of Wiki. As I no longer have a cold, Ive been getting on with other stuff and haven't had a chance to run my AWB again. I'm off to Brussels now for a few days, so won't be doing any editing after today for a while. But when I get back I'll have another go at films.

Barnstar

[edit]
The WikiProject Films Award
I, Blofeld of SPECTRE, hereby award Luigibob the WikiProject Films Award for his/her valued contibutions to WikiProject Films. For his quality edits to film articles on wikipedia. The articles you have worked on are gleaming and show a real quality editor!!! Keep up the great work amigo. I have always been impressed by your edits. Thou art one tidy green plumber man, brother of Mario. Long may your film edits continue! They are greatly appreciated!
Awarded ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 01:37, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Your welcome. Note that isn't just any old award. It is the coveted film silver barnstar which is given to only the best film editors - the elite - it was ages before I had one. Your name should be announced in the newsletter at the end of the month -so a few hundred other editors will learn of what work you do, Yes I've barely edited film this year so far. Only a few like Sous Le Sable, Day of the Idiots etc. Not concentrating like I was on it. But I;ll get more into it again in a month or two. I'm currently adding French towns which I see as a major priority - notice the article count has jumped from 2,228,000 to 236,000 in a day and a half. I saw the Motorcycle Diaries the other day, a rare screening of an Argentine film on TV in the UK. A brilliant film isn't it. Makes me want to travel through south america myself!! PLease continue to add new articles!!! ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 02:04, 18 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well done

[edit]
Updated DYK query On 23 February, 2008, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Foolish Wives, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.

RE: CATS

[edit]

Hi! Let's take one of your articles as an example: The Pretender (film). As [Category:Crime drama films) is a subcategory of both [Category:Crime films] and [Category:Drama films], you don't need to put those two cats. Also [Category:Crime thriller films] is a subcategory of [Category:Thriller films]. In a short only the subcategories are needed there as they already include the main cats. But I wouldn't worry about goofing up the cats, somebody is going to fix them sooner or later.

Oh, and about Seven chances: I already explained my point to EraserGirl (her talk page) before reverting her edits. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to do, should I wait for her answer before reverting? I'm not quite up to date with all the Wikipedia policies. Sorry about my English, I hope that all makes sense. :)--Dblk (talk) 15:13, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks a lot

[edit]

Thanks a lot for your barn-star! This means so much, and it was totally unexpected. I really didn't know that what I was doing was being noticed by other users. This can only encourage me to work even more on film-related articles. Regards. BomBom (talk) 12:44, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Argentine films

[edit]

You mean Argentine films of 2007 and Argentine films of 2008? I know. I'll see if I can get them started but I would appreciate your help with the lists anyway as they are central to Argentine cinema on wikipedia ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 12:05, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I haven't checked for notability yet but here we go : Argentine films of 2007 and I started Encarnación (film) and Cuando ella saltó and Chiche bombón as well. Perhaps you could expand? Its a shame there isn't more people working on them on here but these films are very much a part of the spanish speaking world , which is pretty different from ours ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 20:29, 6 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hola amigo. I couldn't agree more. There are a few people on here that are super, and are a credit to the site but the majority aren't like this unfortunately. I don't know what it is but I think an intellectual site can attract the wrong sorts of people, you know the stuck up geek types who try to rule over people to compensate for inadequacies in their own life or just stupid kids, fourteen year olds who like Pokemon and wrestling who don't know what is relevant to an encyclopedia. As you can see I could have become an admin 18 months ago but it is precisely this kind of bureacracy that I want to avoid -what fun is there in that? (although I agree I could use those admin tools at times). As you can see I put up with a lot of crap from people given the amount of work I do on here, fortunately there are those who appreciate it but it seems at times that many don't.

My relationship with wikipedia blows hot and cold almost on a daily basis. Sometimes I feel very enthusiastic and think wow there is so much missing and go into creation mode but other times I think; the site is huge enough as it is, do we really need to spend so much time developing it when we are faced with criticism and abogados? Most of the time I remain optimistic and try to block out these niggling editors and concentrate on the actual content of the site which potentially is endless.

Admins apart from the Skier man I would suggest are User:John Carter, User:Riana (particularly with images although she is often busy), User:Darwinek etc.

Hope you are well.

NO POINT OF VIEW ON: Anatomy of a Murder

[edit]

On the critical review section, good point of view. That is, yours. You have a valid criticism.

The reviews at rottentomatos were almost uniform. Great place to find relevant reviews. If you look at the discussion page, I mentioned one review, with a link that I thought was particularly good. FWIW. We (you) could cut and past from several reviews.

I made a lot of additions and changes (big and small) to that article. I've kind of exhausted myself on this one and am ready to hand it over to a fresh set of eyes. Have at it. Thanks for your help.

Anatomy of a Murder and other thoughts

[edit]

Dear Luigibob:

You could fairly say that I have a legal background.

I am a lawyer by training, worked for the Michigan Judicial Tenure Commission (see Michigan Supreme Court for a quick overview), was a litigator (both civil and criminal) for twenty five years. I have been a labor arbitrator for thirty.

Thanks for the thumbs up.

I am pleased that you liked the thoughts, even though some of them are "original" (even though I've now put in a quick reference). I wanted to add something to the readers understanding of this movie, which really is a great trial flick, written very carefully and knowledgeably by a good writer who has the perspective of a justice of the Supreme Court and who had also been a real practicing lawyer.

I tried to add a listing of colour films and did not know what is available, even though there is one for black and white films. If you would take a look and fix that, I'd be appreciative.

I am thinking about the Trial movies article. If you have any suggestions, I'd be most appreciative, too.

Thanks. Stay in touch, please.

7&6=thirteen 16:50, 4 December 2007 (UTC)Stan[reply]

Happy holidays to you. thanks for keeping me in mind. I think that Trial movies may be worthwhile. You will enjoy Anatomy of a Murder, cuz it is that good. Best to you.

[edit]

Luigibob:

Thanks for your encouragement. Unfortunately, the Wiki process sometimes moves way too quickly. It's like they want you to go from 'nothing to finished product' in one day. Well, it takes time, to come up with thoughts and to find sources that will complement them. Or vice versa. All of that takes time.

You are right about Wiki. This is a complicated collegial process. Even if one reads the rules, etc., there is a lot going on, and one sometimes jumps into the middle of a gunfight.

Because of my professional background, I am particularly in a position to know and understand a movie like Anatomy of a Murder. I know the article is not supposed to be 'original research' etc., and that we need sources. But putting that all together in an instant can't happen, as I actually have to earn a living. I'm working on it.

Anywayz, if you have more sage advice, I'm all ears. Stay in touch. 7&6=thirteen (talk) 00:28, 24 November 2007 (UTC) stan[reply]

[edit]

Anatomy of a Murder gets a "B" I was really pleased when it got upgraded from Stub Class. The argument over footnote and link names is of no consequence. 'Some call it a spear, some call it an arrow.' I enjoy hearing from you, inter alia, because you have a sense of humor and perspective, plus some real Wiki competence.

Just A General Lift-up...

[edit]

Hi there, Luigibob! I just wanted to stop by and drop you a little note. I wanted to thank you for your truly invaluable contributions to many Wikipedia film articles, particularly to film noir. As a fan of film noir myself, I find it encouraging to see someone help polish and upgrade articles related to a genre that certainly deserves more coverage by this encyclopedia. BTW, the Bugs Bunny quote you have at the top of this page makes me suspect that you are a fan of the wabbit. Is there any chance you might consider becoming a member of the American Animation WikiProject? You would certainly be a very-welcomed participant! I generally spend most of my time trying to revise and update animation-centric articles, but, as I am a relatively inexperienced editor, I realise such articles are in dire need of polish to upgrade them to the high standards of articles on other art forms. Once again, I just wanted to thank you for all the great work you've been doing around here, and to encourage you to keep up the good work! :-) Cinemaniac (talkcontribscritique) 02:09, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're welcome! I think the banned Bugs Bunny cartoon you own is All This and Rabbit Stew, a "censored eleven" entry directed by the great Tex Avery. But, hey, I could be wrong, you know! Cinemaniac (talkcontribscritique) 16:02, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: italics

[edit]

Hi Luigibob,

I'm doing well, thanks. How have you been? Actually I didn't know that foreign words like noir should be in italics in the English language. You certainly hint at my edit in the Fallen Angel article, right? I thought that the italicised words "film noir" looked kind of weird, that's why I changed it. I've also taken a look at the film noir discussion page. I do not doubt that you are right about this issue. So, should I revert my edit or just leave it? Thanks for the cue! Dutzi (talk) 21:40, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

OK, now I got it! As of now, I will pay attention to that. Again, thanks a lot. Best regards. Dutzi (talk) 22:05, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re the Getaway

[edit]

User HergeMoore removed several titles from the film noir list including such obvious examples as Goodfellas, Cape Fear (Scorsese's 1991 version), Ronin and The Getaway (the original 1972 version as well as the remake). He simply wasn't right to do that since all these films actually are neo noirs. Thanks for your endorsement. Regards. Dutzi (talk) 14:33, 26 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Photography credits

[edit]

Hi Luigibob. Our image use policy states "All photo credit should be in a summary on the image description page". Additionally, our caption guideline states "[captions are] only included in the caption if the photographer is notable" - notable means "if the photographer has a wikipedia article". Of course attribution for an image should be included - it is a violation of GFDL for this attribution not to be excluded. The attribution, however, goes on the image description page, not on the article. I hope that makes sense, and I haven't put you off contributing images. Best, Neıl 21:26, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

As far as the Rachel Harris article goes, the photographer (User:David Shankbone) never actually asked for the caption to include his name, didn't put it there himself, and is aware it was removed (and stated he accepted that). Neıl 11:28, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hey plumber guy. How are you amigo?? Today I've been editing the Las Vegas article baby. Its odd but I have lost count how many core American articles I have had to develop. Given all the Americans on here it is often left to a bald belgian-welshman to sort out!! How is the film work going? ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 16:37, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes Skier is doing great. Yes I haven't had much time for film editing the last few months although I have been develpoing some of the pages like Italian films of 1950 and Hong Kong films of 1972 and stubbing some of the films such The Boxer from Shantung etc. I don't know if you like HK movies but some of those cool kung fu films in the 1970s and 1980s are highly entertaining. I don't know if you are aware of the Shaw Studio and the kind of actors that they employed but they all had great character. I recall one evil villain looked like a Chinese Saruman. SOmeday I'll try to develop Argentine film a bit more. I did manage to add a few Mexican films starring Pedro Armendariz who I will try to complete his filmo in due course. There are tons of Mexican classics missing too. If you require any ghelp at developing an article sometime give me a bell. ♦Blofeld of SPECTRE♦ $1,000,000? 16:58, 14 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nice edits. I was wondering if the AFI list should be contrasted with the ABA list, in particular. They have some films not listed particularly. Maybe they should be mentioned? BTW, I've been doing a lot of Michigan geography work. Of course, it tends to spill over into other areas. Frank Murphy. American Museum of Magic.

Thanks for contacting me...yes, I think we are moving along with the article. We might want to work on the intro a bit.

Just a quick note- you released this into the public domain, but claimed that attribution is required. If in the public domain, attribution is not required. Perhaps you would rather release your images under a free license that requires attribution? GFDL or CC springs to mind- perhaps you could take a look at our list of free licenses for some ideas. J Milburn (talk) 18:34, 3 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's absolutely no issue with releasing the images into the public domain from Wikipedia's point of view, I just thought you may personally prefer to release them under one of the other licenses we accept. If you want others to be able to use the image but want to be attributed, I recommend {{cc-by-sa-3.0}}, though I'm by no means an expert on the exact details of the licenses.

1. Film noirs often feature convoluted, sophisticated story lines, like e.g. flashbacks, flashforwards, voice-over, POV, etc...

None of these techniques is featured in Gaslight.

2. The protagonist is usually a hard-boiled character, like e.g. a private investigator, police cop, criminal or something else.

Nobody in Gaslight is a hard-boiled, Sam Spade-like character. Gregory Anton (Charles Boyer) is more like an aristocratic "gentleman-criminal".

3. Femme fatales often play an important role.

Bergman's character is hardly a femme fatale. Nancy (Angela Lansbury) displays some of the typical characteristics of a femme fatale, however, she plays only a secondary role.

4. Pessimistic tone/ big sinful city as a setting/ dark visual style (Low-key lighting).

This is the only similarity to a "classic" film noir. However, the era and the cultural setting in this film (Victorian era) is pretty unusual for a noir.

Of course there are far more aspects to be considered, that define a film as a noir, but these are generally regarded as the most important and most common ones. They will do for our discussion.

So in my opinion, only one characteristic is not enough! Every horror film features a dark tone and dark visual style, and they obviously can't be considered noirs. I have noticed that film historians/critics have pretty different opinions as to this particular film genre. I remember that some critics (sorry, I can't remember their names/book titles, it's been a long time) do not even consider The Maltese Falcon a film noir because of similar reasons (no flashbacks, no voice-over, etc...). Of course that's nonsense.

I think it's much easier to identify a film as film noir than to argue why it is or is not noir.

Best regards. Dutzi (talk) 22:21, 15 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! I will also put my analysis on the discussion page of the film noir list. Anybody who wants to put Gaslight back should read our discussion first in order to reconsider...
By the way, I'd like to point out that I really like Gaslight. I think it is an excellent, beautifully directed film with a marvelous cast. My analysis might sound as if I don't like the movie. =) I just don't see it as a noir, it's rather a period piece-psycho-thriller. Best wishes. Dutzi (talk) 16:04, 16 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

Hi Luigi,

I've got a little problem and since we have already discussed several issues I thought I might ask you. I recently edited the article to the film The Wiz. In the lead I linked the release year as follows: [[1978 in film|1978]]. Interestingly, my edit was reverted by someone who argued that "these links are now deprecated". He refers to the Manual of Style (dates and numbers), but actually I couldn't find the passage/section that says that my linking was wrong or outdated. Feel free to have a look at the edit history of the article. I know, this issue is pretty trivial but I really would like to know the correct procedure. Perhaps you can help me. Thanks in advance.

A little help

[edit]

Many of my links to Film Noir of the Week - were wiped out by Themfromspace even though most of the articles are written by published film writers that have written dozens of books on noir and have even done many of the movie commentaries on DVDs. Somehow I can't post links to my own site because ... well I'm not sure. What do you think I should do? Can you help me possibly return these links to the pages?

Two really good articles on Anatomy of a Murder, 50th anniversary festivities and the musical score

Squeezing two columns lists in less than 100% width

Hi Luigibob,

I would like to know what exactly do mean “some screens -- like mine - may not handle” (two columns lists in full width). Having some eyesight issues, I am using a larger than normal font size; hence your lists, squeezed in width=65%, are quite awkward to look at, and to read. Am I the only one with such limitations?

Notice

The file File:Wdffsounds.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-free album cover being used in a decorative manner in Why Do Fools Fall in Love (film)#Soundtrack. Non-free album cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about albums, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC#8 is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular album cover anywhere in the article, and the use of soundtrack album cover art in articles about films or TV programs is generally not allowed for this reason as explained in WP:FILMSCORE and MOS:TVPRODUCTION.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 07:47, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
