Talk:James Toback

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Hilarious

Who wrote this page? Toback? The commentary to Bugsy is hilarious, Two Girls and a Guy is hilarious. Well I havent heard the commentary but that movie wasn't hilarious and if you look at Rotten Tomatoes you'll find most people will agree. If you're going to call something hilarious then give us a source...124.190.33.151 (talk) 13:14, 5 June 2008 (UTC)AG McKinty

I've never seen Tobachio listed as his last name. It would seem to suggest he's Italian. Everything I had read suggested Jewish. Anyone?

[edit] Womanizing

I had a friend tell me of the way he lies and abuses young women, because it happened to her friend, and is apparently a pattern of telling young women that he will leave his wife for her. Is there any documentation of this? I wouldn't put it in the article without some evidence that corroborates my friend's word, though. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 21:02, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Puff-piece article

Who wrote this entry, Toback himself? The article is peppered with subjective (and overwhelmingly positive) commentary.

"The film was photographed in ravishing style by Nouvelle Vague cinematographer Henri Decae and features a magnificent original score by Nouvelle Vague composer Georges Delerue."

"Their collaboration is documented in a hilarious three-person on camera feature in the extended cut DVD of Bugsy."

"In 1997, Toback wrote and directed Two Girls and a Guy, a hilarious classic"

And so on. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.203.159.26 (talk) 09:05, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

It does seem very subjective and un-encyclopedia like, and should be revised, with more sources. Like use of the word, "hilarious" for example. --Jim Raynor (talk) 16:40, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
