Untitled[edit]

I know some people are likely to object to 64.231.99.65's the inclusion of the sodomy song lyrics, that wikipedia is not a collection of movie lyrics.

I take a different view. The production values on the move are so low that it is quite difficult to understand what Sebastian is actually saying, even after watching it many times. Plus, it's the funniest moment of the movie. So I am going to preemptively vote to keep it (should someone object) --Raul654 04:15, 12 Dec 2003 (UTC)

Robert's (Wobert's) so-called speech disorder[edit]

The pronunciation of "r" as "w" is a fairly common affect for English-speaking people of the "British Empire", even those of the aristocracy, and is not considered to be a speech impediment like it is in the United States.

The Love Triangle[edit]

"The flatulence from the cake causes Heidi to lay waste to the set during the rehearsal of a feature number. Sebastian lambastes her for overeating and thus destroying the set." When viewed carefully, it can be plainly seen that Heidi's weight breaks the swing and she falls into a pond. Her impact splashes water on an offstage electric fan, causing it to short-circuit and blow with such velocity that it trashes the set.

Dennis[edit]

I'm pretty sure he's an aardvark, not an anteater, but I'm only using wikipedia's images and the movie as a reference -- I have no inside information. He has aardvark-ish ears, snout, and claws.

Myxomatosis[edit]

I'm sure Harry has it because if you listen carefully to his joy after the Dr. calls him and tells him he misdiagnosed his sickness, you can hear him say he doesn't have myxomatosis.

Fair use rationale for Image:Meet the Feebles.jpg[edit]

Image:Meet the Feebles.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:36, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Subplots[edit]

I added detailed subplots for the movie. I initially tried to do this as a more detailed plot description, but the story is way too convoluted and chronologically interwoven to make any sense of it straight through. Feel free to modify, as always.. :) SkepticVK (talk) 05:23, 21 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Someone recently re-wrote the section 'The Big One'. I certainly don't object to someone rewriting an entire paragraph, but it should at least improve the information, and not make the grammar, readability, and overall flow worse. I reverted the section, but I did add information on the Fly's demise, which was legitimate.

I edited/reverted more of the re-writes. I don't like removing someone's edits wholesale, so here are the criteria I used for my changes:

Does the new edit have useful information not in the original
Is the overall description a summary, and not a detailed item-by-item description of the subplot
Is the grammar up to Wikipedia standards
Does the language use too much vernacular
Is the wording re-written just for the sake of rewriting it

I tried to identify new information that added to the summary's clarity and included it. However, there's a fine line between a good summary and too much detail.

The Masked Masochist - Species[edit]

Looking at the movie, the Masked Masochist isn't a cockroach, he looks a lot more like a weta than a roach, but isn't completely anatomically correct as a weta either, on the other-hand he's playing the part of a sadist not a masochist so I don't think Jackson was terribly worried about being right in every detail. I've changed the description in the article. Kiore (talk) 07:21, 8 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Meshuggah[edit]

Please forgive my ignorance, but could someone please inform me as to why "Meshuggah" is listed as a link? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 138.64.2.77 (talk) 17:59, 5 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
