[edit] License tagging for Image:JamesGunnPromotional.jpg

Thanks for uploading Image:JamesGunnPromotional.jpg. Wikipedia gets thousands of images uploaded every day, and in order to verify that the images can be legally used on Wikipedia, the source and copyright status must be indicated. Images need to have an image tag applied to the image description page indicating the copyright status of the image. This uniform and easy-to-understand method of indicating the license status allows potential re-users of the images to know what they are allowed to do with the images.

--Complaint-- I am inclined to agree with those other authors you are arguing with.

Please don't turn Wikipedia into the unofficial James Gunn Slither fan page.

Stick to the facts. Mentioning 84% fresh rating is a fact. Let readers draw their own conclusion from these facts. Use Occam's razor when editing on wikipedia. If Slither is truly an amazing hit with critics, then let the facts speak for themselves. I don't remember this film being nominated for any oscars. Every year Entertainment Weekly and other major film magazines list a BEST OF list, a top 10 of film. Please wait until the end of the year before you proclaim Slither the best film of the year.

The movie is not even out on DVD yet.

If the movie makes some of the critics' top ten lists, then you have a better case for calling this film the best horror film ever.

[edit] fixed THE DESCENT

saw your point about THE DESCENT. It never occurred to me to change that. I will change in accordance with consistency. thanks for pointing this out.

have a good night

[edit] I like the new addition to the Slither page, "more neutral sounding."

hey, I think we can work this out.

I noticed a change on the Slither page that mentions "this is the best reviewed horror film in years" but also mentions the negative effect of the movies box office on the genre. I checked out the article that is being used as the source. the research checks out. Filmmaker Eli Roth and the Slither's Producer Paul Brooks are used as sources in that article. so the multiple sources back up the assertions in that article.

I guess I don't mind saying that this movie is the best reviewed horror film in years as long as the statement itself is neutral. the current statement is more neutral sounding. did you write it? if so, then I approve.

as far as Lloyd Kaufman goes, I will stand my ground on this. In fact, in Slither James Gunn pays homage to Lloyd Kaufman by having him play a cameo in the film AND he even has The Toxic Avenger playing on a television in the background. In the video diary that Gunn plans to release along with the Slither DVD, James Gunn says that "Lloyd Kaufman taught me everything I need to know about filmmaking." So, I don't think there is anything wrong with listing him as an influence.

anyhow, in the spirit of compromise, I think I feel better with the new addition. if you are cool with this, then hopefully we can put this behind us.

take care.

[edit] Lloyd Kaufman

I feel like you are being obtuse about the Lloyd Kaufman thing. YOu said that James Gunn didn't have Lloyd on his mind when he made SLiTHER right? Then explain WHY Mr. Gunn has the Toxic Avenger playing on a television set in the background of one of his scenes? And explain WHY Mr. Gunn has his old boss from Troma starring in a cameo appearance? When directors do this, they are clearly paying homage to their influences. Often times when a director places an old movie on a television screen in the background of their movies, they are paying homage to their favorite movies/directors. How could Gunn NOT be thinking about Kaufman? That, and they made Tromeo and Juliet together. If Lloyd or Toxie didn't appear in SLiTHER then I would agree with you.

But your argument is that Lloyd Kaufman and Troma had no connection to Gunn's thought processes regarding this film. Clearly, Lloyd Kaufman was very much on his mind since (a) Gunn pays homage to Lloyd's work with the Toxic Avenger film clip in SLiTHER and (b) because he ASKED Mr. Kaufman to be in his film.

Please don't be so literal/obtuse about this. I want to work with you to create fun but honest Wiki page. For instance, I liked Jeeper Creepers. But the director of that film is also a registered sex offender. Some people may not want to mention that since they like that film. But that is the truth/fact.

Hopefully we can see eye to eye about this. Guerillafilm 20:50, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
