[edit] Since you asked...

I just reverted your addition to the caption on Grindhouse (film). Since you're curious as to why, I'll give it to you: image captions are supposed to be, with only a few exceptions, very brief. Explaining that Zoë's character is based on her real-life persona is redundant; it is already mentioned in the article itself and, ultimately, the fact that she plays herself has nothing to do with the picture itself.

Hope that was what you were looking for. :) EVula // talk // ☯ // 03:47, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] RE: Troma

Hello,

I am a representative from Troma Entertainment. I'd like to ask why you keep revising our article, and why you claim we vandalized your original post (after you vandalized our previous posting). If you knew absolutely anything about our company, you would know the following facts:

Troma's War, while a bomb, did not spell financial ruin for the company. This film was released in 1988. After that, Troma had a great deal of success with the Toxic Avenger character. They co-produced the two sequels with Lorimer Entertainment in 1989 (which, while they may be lackluster, were widely distributed on home video through Warner Home Video), co-produced The Toxic Crusaders animated series in the early 1990s with Chuck Lorre Entertainment, signed multiple licensing deals with the Toxic Crusaders characters, aired their films on the highly successful USA Up All Night program, and even signed a Pay-or-Play deal with New Line Entertainment to develop a "Toxic Crusaders" motion picture. Troma did face some financial hardships in the mid-90s following this period of success, mostly to blame on a long and expensive lawsuit with New Line Cinema (who renegged on the Toxic Crusaders deal when they were able to resign the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles license to produce the 1994 sequel "Turtles in Time") and the financial failure of Sgt. Kabukiman, NYPD (which, as I mentioned in my previous post, sat on the shelf for a number of years until Troma was able to release the film itself on VHS in 1996; hence the confusion over which film used the car flip first, Tromeo or Kabukiman).

Tromeo and Juliet, Terror Firmer, and Citizen Toxie are NOT straight to DVD films. All three enjoyed theatrical release in 1997, 1999 and 2001, respectively. Tromeo and Juliet, in particular, played a large part in revitalizing the company for a new generation.

You failed to mention the success (and failure after the internet bubble burst in the early 2000s) of Tromaville.com, one of the very first web portal sites introduced in the late 90s. There was also the success of Troma Team Video, which was one of the fore-runners of the DVD boom in the late 90s.

The grossest error on your posting is the continued reference to the "Fall" of Troma Entertainment. Yes, it's true, we are a small company and as such always find ourselves in some sort of peril due to the volatile entertainment marketplace, but we've been around for more than 30 years and, despite some valleys amongst the peaks, have not fallen yet. I ask that you refrain from reposting this article when I change it back later this week. Thank you.
