Talk:Rudy (film)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

When I saw it on TNT this weekend, there's also an Alan Smithee credit as director - the credit that was used for many years for someone who wants to disavow work on a film. Can anyone confirm that is correct? Schnu 03:47, 8 August 2005 (UTC)

Hello. Wikipedia actually has an article on Alan Smithee and it would appear that you are correct.

i'm curious; what position did Rudy play? i've never caught the movie and if it's listed here i missed it completely. -anonymous non-member

Rudy played cornerback in high school..."led the team in tackles," plays at ND random scout-team defensive positions

[edit] Avoid weasel phrases

Conman33: Please avoid using weasel phrases. Statements like "The movie is often considered to be..." lack precision, evidence, and often "give the force of authority to a statement without letting the reader decide if the source of the opinion is reliable." If you can find evidence (reputable survey, for example), that Rudy is considered by viewers to be the best sports movie, then we can make such a claim in the article (with proper citation). --mtz206 22:32, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Totally Useless Trivia

I fail to see any point of including the paragraph regarding the high school band performance. This trivia is also omitted from IMDB, so that gives me a doubt as to its veracity. I don't think that it really adds anything, so I'm recommending it for deletion. Thoughts? Secretagentwang 20:23, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

I do not object to its deletion. Neither can I vouch for it, although do not wish to research it. I should add though, that such "Trivia" sections are very common for WP movie articles, so its inaneness of itself is not imperative justification for deletion. Neither do I have any intention of deleting it if you don't.

That said, it is trivia, and perhaps not even true. So feel free; there is a record here in Talk of our thoughts on the matter. Baccyak4H 18:53, 14 September 2006 (UTC)
