[edit] Revisions Made to SKSM Changes
Thank you for correcting information on Cain Rose Up - this title has been removed.
Last Rung on the Ladder has been removed from the 'Pre-2000' section, but I've left it in the definitive list for now as Lucas, as I understand, did receive the Dollar Deal from King, the film just (as far as we know) remains unproduced. I'll correct this to 'date unknown'
Wordprocessor of the Gods (1985) by Michael Gornick and Sorry, Right Number (1986) by John Sutherland are NOT Dollar Baby films. Although they are both short films, both were professionally negotiated, both producers own full rights. Sorry Right Number was a screenplay written by King exclusively for Laurel-TV Tales From the Darkside. Neither of these films are Dollar Babies.
[edit] Dates
Can anyone explain to me the trend for 'wikifying' dates? Doesn't that kind of go against the wiki linking policy of only linking wiki words that can clarify or expand on the current article? Is there really anyone reading this article who is going to immediately care what happened on November 11, 2001 - because that was when the cited article was published? And, if we're going to wikify dates - why not all of them? I'm totally at a loss. Before I revert these edits - can someone explain this to me?

[edit] Here There Be Tygers (Guy Maddin)
An unnamed user modified the definitive list adding "(never produced)" next to the reference for Guy Maddin's 1988 Here There Be Tygers adaptation. I have heard from a few different people that this film was never produced, however can anyone provide a verifyiable source that it was not made? Anyone in contact with the supposed filmmaker? Anyone have direct knowledge that the film was scrapped? Until that could be provided, I'd rather leave it on the list. LACameraman 13:05, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] 1977-1996
The section listing films from 1977-1996 is significant as 1996 was the first time King mentioned the Dollar Babies and gave the production count at 16 or 17. In an attempt to put together a list of all 16 or 17 films he is referring to, this list must not include any films made after 1996. Including any films beyond 1996 in this area diffuses the significance of attempting to figure out all the sixteen or seventeen films. I cut the reference to *"Llamadas" (Sorry, Right Number) (1999) by Daniel Yañez totally from this section (which was originally referenced in a sub-section between 1996 and 2000). The film is represented in the definitive list. Thanks, Chris, for the remainder of the edits - they have greatly improved the article. LACameraman 08:45, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
