[edit] Nickname

True or false: "Chris" is a nickname for "Christopher". 66.245.95.239 21:58, 19 May 2004 (UTC)

Recent changes, regarding categorisation, and the desire to refer to Christopher instead of Chris, have NOT been for the better. Firstly, he is not known as an actor, he is a film-maker, a writer/director. Someone needs to change this, quickly. Secondly, as a result of calling him Christopher, users are more likely to be confused. Large numbers of other Wikipedia entries, which formerly directed here (e.g. from films Chris has made) are sending people to Christopher Columbus, the explorer. This is an unnecessary cock-up. Can we get a revert? (14 April 2006)

[edit] infantilism?

wouldn't the refeence to infantilism qualify as unsourced potentially libellous material? Pugsworth 04:24, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

I agree-Removed.

[edit] Screaming?

Not a mention of his insistence in portraying children screaming? Gremlins (kinda), Goonies, Home Alone 1 & 2, Harry Potter 1 & 2? What0s his obssesion behind this? Does he think it's funny?

It's not included in the article, because... well, frankly, I can't think of anything less relevant. It's hardly any kind of trademark. Also, remember to sign your post with four tildes. Legendotphoenix 11:30, 24 June 2007 (UTC)
