[edit] Diatribe

Dudesleeper, I do not appreciate you classing my addition to this article as "diatribe"! CX23882-19 18:28, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

It kind of was, though. Your expanded version is acceptable. Dudesleeper 18:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

• Fair enough, but just to prove my point (and that I'm not just making trivia up :O), here you go:

In both cases, the tree appears pretty much dead, with three large main branches low down, with "fingers" coming off each of them. Notice that the a few seconds of just the tree are shown, before the actual "sacrifice" bit, which I believe is there to bring it to the attention of the audience (although I might be clutching at straws now). Also, I changed The 'Burbs to The 'burbs, as I believe that to be the correct spelling (although as it only appears as THE 'BURBS in both the movie and Dana's original script, that could be up for debate).

I think The 'Burbs looks better, but that's just an opinion. I'm considering redirecting the whole article to a new page with the apostrophe included in the name. Dudesleeper 22:02, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

RE the apostrophe in the article name, I agree. It seems that right now, the entries WITH the apostrophe redirect to the one without. This should be the other way round.CX23882-19 18:51, 23 August 2006 (UTC)
