[edit] Plot summary

Not so much as a summary as a play by play. WAY to long for a movie whose plot was not that involved. s Let's shorten down the summary some, shall we? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.203.184.4 (talk) 23:59, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

I agree. It's full of grammar errors, and crammed packed full of unnecessary details... Especially comments such as "rich bitch"... Are they really necessary? Unconscious (talk) 02:08, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

Holy crap. Is that the novelization? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.184.241.144 (talk) 03:38, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

I've hacked it down to something readable; I cut the entire section about the murders, its standard slasher fare, and kept the bits that differentiate this film from others -Bazzargh (talk) 22:00, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Mýa's in Black Christmas

She plays Britney Soring and will be killed in the movie [1]

Never mind. She only appears in the original cut.

What you mean by original cut? That's the 1974 verson. Mya wasnt even a gleam in her parents eye yet. Unless of course you mean the fact that they made 4 different versions to this flick. Man, I can't wait for the dvd.74.195.3.11 18:06, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Pictures

why cant I put these two pictures to be seen on the website???

You'd have to upload them onto the Wikipedia server while tagging them properly in regard to their copyright. Then you'd have to use wikiformatting to insert them into the article, not BBCode like you used here. 75.2.6.207 11:38, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia Redundancy

I was reading through that section and noticed that the fact that Glen Morgan either wrote/produced or directed any Final Destination film is mentioned at least three separate times, as well as the fact that he is married to one of the actresses, Cloke, being mentioned at least twice throughout.

I didn't want to go in and remove some of the instances myself since other editors tend to revert that (a feeling of being overly possessive and territorial in regard to articles they edit I suppose) so addressing it here for consideration by the collective editors who have interest in this article to consider revising as they see fit. 75.2.6.207 11:36, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

I removed the extra two or three references to Final Destination, and commented out another redundant bit of trivia. -Elizabennet 23:59, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Who asked you? Just ignore it. I did.74.195.3.11 20:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

It's a collective effort, mate. If you're going to ignore anything that's wrong with the article, don't be an editor. I made a major revision of the trivia section, but people are still adding random crap to it, so keep an eye out.--Agent Aquamarine 13:35, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] body count

what happened to the spoiler that included all the deaths? i read it earlier tonight but now i can't find it... —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.234.101.130 (talk) 06:32, 20 December 2006 (UTC).

I added one. But why do people delete it?

Its deleted for the simple reason that it is just rehashing what the plot tells. Also death lists (the F13 series and the FD series excepted due to the emphasis on deaths and not plot) are very unencyclopediac (especially in list form) and should not be in Wiki. Jamesbuc

[edit] Synopsis and Plot

Are both really neccessary? ONEder Boy 06:29, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

More importantly, WTF is with that "plot" - that aint no plot, it's the whole dang script!! 220.238.131.240 16:16, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] "Fuck"

Has anyone counted how many times the word "fuck" was used in this film? At least 20, I think. Maybe much, much more.

Why does it matter? If you think 20 is alot, go check out Blair Witch Project. It's said at least 133 times. But, why do you care, 20 is very little compared to how some films are.

[edit] Quality

I'm going to fix up the trivia section, the spelling and grammar in it is deplorable. I'm not going to look for errors in the other sections, so that's up to you guys. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.255.21.149 (talk) 05:35, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
