[edit] 2006 film or 2007 film?

IMDb lists this film as 2006 film and it has been shown in numerous film festivals world wide. I am quite new to film categories, but what is the criteria for listing years on films?--Merumerume 03:14, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm guessing they go by when it's released to the public?--DrBat 22:21, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Filming location

Is the motel where the exteriors are shot a real motel? I assume the highway that passes it is 395? Corvus cornix 23:29, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

Not sure. The exteriors are shot in California. Michael Shannon mentions it in a youtube Q&A [1] Bib 00:16, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

Right, outside Mammoth. You can see the Los Angeles Aqueduct, or else the Owens River, running right behind the motel in the aerial shots. Corvus cornix 01:08, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Bug 2007 score.jpg

Image:Bug 2007 score.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 16:06, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] IMDB Rating

It has changed by a whole point. Should we update that info in the article? --luckymustard 22:02, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

yep Bib 22:17, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Unique Filming Techniques

I have noticed that this hasn't been mentioned here or on imdb. One of the most bizarre items in the movie is the fact that microphones are easily viewable at various times in the movie, usually hanging over Ashley Judd's head. It happens quite often through out the movie and it can't be chalked up as an error, as leaving it in the film was clearly intentional. Thoughts on including info on this in the article?Gwynand 16:16, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WikiProject class rating

This article was automatically assessed because at least one WikiProject had rated the article as start, and the rating on other projects was brought up to start class. BetacommandBot 19:08, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plot

Hola, pido excusas por escribir en español, mi inglés es demasiado incorrecto. Os pido que no modifiqueis en exceso el apartado plot. Es muy interesante y muy instructivo. Gracias.82.198.36.248 13:44, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Controversy section

I have removed it for now because nowhere in the citations provided does it say Bug is being blamed for the killing. All the articles say is that he saw the movie days before the killing. He might've watched Galaxy Quest the night before on cable, but that doesn't mean it has anything to do with the killing. The UK tabloids tend to sensationalize and rally against films; that doesn't mean Wikipedia should follow suit. --YellowTapedR (talk) 19:45, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Alberto Izaga

Isn´t this worth mentioning in the article? [2] --85.197.210.44 (talk) 17:49, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

This is what YellowTapedR is referring to in "Controversy section", above. There is a similar case in Scientology controversies#Personality tests, where Norwegian newspapers wrote about how a Scientology test made a girl committ suicide. In this case it is English newspapers that write about how the film made a man committ murder. I wrote a whole section called 'controversy', before it was removed by Zzzzqzqzqzzqz in January 2008. This was the section: A 36 year old man, in the UK, beat his two-year-old daughter to death, a few days after he'd watched Bug for the first time. During a visit to New York in May, 2007, he watched Bug with his wife, after they had turned up late for the film they had planned to watch. The couple almost walked out on several occasions, but they sat through it.^[1] On May 29, 2007 at a conference in Geneva, Switzerland, he became fixated on a motivational talk by Mike Horn. After returning to London on June 2, he complained that he had not slept for three days. In the evening, while dining with his family at restaurant, he started talking to himself and gesticulating. At 9pm, he went to bed.^[2] He woke at 4.30am on June 3, and began several hours of insane ramblings. He was ranting about the Geneva presentation, about his mother, about proof that God did not exist, about how a sect were recruiting executives to take over the world, and about Bug. Over the next four hours he became increasingly worked up, bursting into tears and shouting about the film, the Devil and death.^[3] He began hitting the pillows saying he could not sleep. He walked into his daughter's room, and shook her. When she woke up, she started crying. Shortly before he picked her up, he shouted about Bug, and said "I know what I have to do, I have to kill her."^[4] She tried to run, he blocked her path, then smashed her repeatedly on the floor,^[1] while he screamed “Death!” in Spanish.^[2] His daugther was taken to the hospital, but died two days later.^[5] The man, a millionaire, who had been described as a devoted and loving father, was a senior executive at Swiss Re, the world’s largest reinsurer. He has been found not guilty, due to insanity. He had no history of mental illness. It was described as a sudden mental disorder that could strike anyone,^[2][4] a sudden acute psychotic and schizophrenic disorder, which took hold of him within a few days.^[2] Bib (talk) 18:02, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
