A question about the anime Bleach...

I saw a scene in episode 152 of the anime series Bleach where the camera viewed to Nel Tu's throat while she was "fondling" her uvula to throw up. What other episodes also had a scene where a camera views Nel Tu's throat? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Sirdrink13309622 (talk • contribs) 00:57, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Its kinda gross for him to ask for pictures of character fondle their throat. Its a cartoon. I don't think we should be obligated to answer these kinda questions. Who ask for a picture of a cartoon fondling their throat? Or even asking what episodes they are fondling their throats.

Wheels of fire

Hi, I remember a commercial for chewing gum, probably Orbit, most likely from the early 1990s. A young kid skating through town (steep roads, like San Fransico), high-fiving his friends as he goes. At the end, I think the name of the gum is etched in the asphalt as he continiues towards the sea, possibly with a setting sun. The music is something like "run, run, run, wheels of fire, as the king of the city.... etc". Anyone remembering this? The real question is: Anyone have a link to a video clip of this commercial, or the name of the song? I saw it on Norwegian TV but it looked like it was used internationally. Thanks! (this was originally posted on the Misc desk but as I got no response before it was archived I take the liberty of asking here as well.) Jørgen (talk) 09:51, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Question

Anyone out there who still has a PlayStation 1 and uses it? Interactive Fiction Expert/Talk to me 12:40, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do you know if ...

Do you know if will be relased a new album of The Beatles? Thank you very much!!!--79.9.99.217 (talk) 14:22, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since two of The Beatles are dead, it would be unlikely that an album of new music would be released. Of course the record companies will endlessly repackage the existing recordings into new and different compilations until the end of time. --LarryMac | Talk 14:25, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
One of them being dead didn't prevent the release of "new" material (which was old but previously unreleased) on the The Beatles Anthology albums in the 1990s. Rmhermen (talk) 15:33, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ahem. The_Beatles_discography#U.S._compilations_and_other_releases. There have been 5 Beatles releases since 2000. Corvus cornixtalk 19:09, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Ahem indeed. I'm not quite sure why you have linked to the US releases section, rather than The_Beatles_discography#Compilation_albums - the Beatles were a British band, you know. But a couple of box sets comprising previously released albums don't really count as "new material", do they? Malcolm XIV (talk) 08:15, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The closest your going to get to new stuff is remixed old stuff, the Love album remixed by George Martin is fantastic. If your feeling a little more adventurous you might want to try the Liverpool Sound Collage by Paul McCartney which uses lots of old studio chatter from the Beatles recording session in a very modern way.144.137.200.249 (talk) 10:32, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not true. The anthology album that I mentioned above contained new material - the song, Free as a Bird. Rmhermen (talk) 15:43, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
True, 'Free as a Bird' was 'new' material, but the main vocal was recorded 31 years age and then remixed.Iiidonkeyiii (talk) 11:41, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I'm sure they'll release a new album soon

Minimum required height for male actors

Is there a minimum required height for males seeking to become actors? I know that, ideally, there is not, what with actors such as Hervé Villechaize, but actors such as him would never or extremely rarely be given lead roles. If a male is seeking to be a well-rounded actor as opposed to one who only plays specialized secondary roles what is the minimum required height? Also, what is the female equivalent?--Urban Rose 17:20, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really think that there is a height requirement. As long as you fill the needs of the role you want to play, you will get the part. Heck, Tobey Maguire is only five foot two inches.--Dlo2012 (talk) 21:33, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not. Maguire's somewhere around 5 foot 7 or 8 inches, depending on who you ask. If you go back a ways, Alan Ladd was 5 foot 4 1/2 or 5 inches tall. One of the problems of male shortness is that filmmakers want the leading lady to be shorter, or at least seem shorter than the male lead. Humphrey Bogart was shorter than Ingrid Bergman, so they had to work around it, according to our Casablanca article. Clarityfiend (talk) 05:53, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Tom Cruise is often shorter than his leading ladies. --70.167.58.6 (talk) 16:22, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Finding your niche and being a good actor is more important than being tall. Perfect your craft and look for a range of characters that you find comfortable portraying. Then audition for such roles. Not being the "leading man" can still earn you enough to pay for your chicken sandwich and maybe even a fancy car. Supporting characters are sometimes chosen to be shorter than the "muscle men" for precisely the same reason they want the hero to be taller than the lady. That doesn't mean you have to play bit parts. There are tons of roles that you can play that require short stature, particularly in theater. Neither Al Pacino nor Danny de Vito have been prevented from reaching the top because of their height. If you knock their socks off in the audition they won't care how tall you are. --71.236.23.111 (talk) 18:18, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Short men often have an advantage early on, as they can play the roles of teenagers. Later it becomes an impediment, but some can have good careers anyway, such as Micheal J Fox. StuRat (talk) 02:01, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And lets not forget that there are many talented little people actors, Peter Dinklage being a prime example. He's as good as any average-size actor. --Oskar 11:03, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

American actors in Japan

What is the best way for an unknown American actor to break into Japanese movies/television? Is there a channel that can be used? Japanese agencies that cater to American actors? --Endless Dan 18:35, 7 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You should know Japanese, be funny, and move to Tokyo. I don't know that there's a channel about it. You could try contacting the talent agencies which handle Kent Gilbert and Kent Derricott as they obviously handle non-Japanese talent. ···日本穣? · Talk to Nihonjoe 00:58, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Check out Mark Musashi he grew up in Maine, studied martial arts abroad, then moved to Japan. You can see his acting (and his distinctly gaijin spoken Japanese in Shibuya 15). If you can do martial arts work, maybe look into AAC Stunts. But yes, learning Japanese is a must. Ganbatte! AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 12:13, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Making some really dumb martial arts movies (Rush Hour) with Jackie Chan seems to have worked for Chris Tucker, to break into the Chinese market. Perhaps an American actor could team up with a famous Japanese actor/actress to break into that market. StuRat (talk) 23:59, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Songwriting"

Hello Everyone...! I just wanted to know the secrets of how to make a perfect song like all musicians write and I have perhaps the most trouble trying to create chords (both treble and bass) for my song and the melody. I don't have any problems with lyrics (I just sing what comes out of my head)! Can anyone help?


--Writer Cartoonist (talk) 02:57, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Writing music is nothing different than any other form of artwork. If you want to write good music, write tons of bad music until you get good at it. You can copy hints and tips from other people, but you'll end up writing their music, not yours. Similarly, if you want to write great books, write tons of bad books until you get good at it. If you want to paint great paintings, paint tons of bad ones until you get good at it. There's no secret. It just takes a lot of practice. You'll recognize when you hear chords you like. You'll recognize when you like how one sounds after another. My real suggestion is to find someone you will allow to tell you how bad your music really is. It helps. Consider the Beatles (who had a many hits). Lennon and McCartney bounced songs off each other and allowed each other to be brutally honest. It may have hurt their friendship in the end, but a lot of great music came out of it. -- kainaw 03:05, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not a musician, but I am a writer. I hear the old "there's a million bad words in you, and once you've written those out, the good ones will start to come" thing a lot, and there's a lot of truth to that -- practice does make perfect. But personally? I believe I've found reading more useful than writing in becoming a good writer -- seeing what other people are doing with words, what their sentence structures are meant to accomplish, etc. And it's not a question of copying them, I should stress, but learning from them, analyzing them and understanding what they're doing and why. There's a difference between simply reading a book for entertainment and reading one with an eye out specifically for the language, structures and construction of narrative being used. Not that I'm saying that practice isn't useful or necessary, mind you; of course it is! But it's probably far more useful to combine practice with learning from those who already know how to do it than trying to reinvent the wheel by yourself. At the very least, you can skip a lot of the obvious mistakes. I'd be willing to bet the same applies to music. -- Captain Disdain (talk) 09:53, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hi Writer Cartoonist, two things: you might need a music lesson or two; or get someone to write the music on a score, learn it by heart and just make that one your party piece. Be brave, make mistakes, have fun. The Captn D. and Kainaw are right imo, you are going to have to actually do some of this work: take a few steps, make the rubber hit the road. You've had a lot of good advice on this before so think about starting. Cheers, Julia Rossi (talk) 14:22, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
You know you don't have to make up your own chords, there's lots of predefined named ones that you can use. In my songwriting days I used to just start playing different things until I got something I liked, then I could work out what direction I wanted to take the song in from there. Sometimes I liked what i got, sometimes I'd spend hours working just to get total crap. I have to agree that having someone to bounce your songs off of is great, but most of all just try, if you don't have much success, get some more musical training, unfortunately there's no magic bullet for it. Mad031683 (talk) 17:04, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure what you mean by having trouble creating chords. Do you already know how to play a guitar or piano? Those are probably the best two instruments for songwriting. If you're singing whatever comes into your head, you already have a melody. I'd suggest learning a bit more about how music is put together. Get a piano or guitar if you don't already have one. Friday (talk) 17:10, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Have a look at Music theory and the pages that link from there. Those things are useful even if you'd write heavy metal or something. 71.236.23.111 (talk) 17:49, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I need information on the Softball game in New York today

I'm the grandma of one of the players on the softball team that is in New York playing in the Regionals today. My son told me I could stream the game in on my computer to listen to it, but I don't know what time it starts or quite how to accomplish that task. Can anybody down there give me some answers as to the time and the steps I might have to take to fix it so my Dad (who is in the hospital - but I can get him a laptop to listen to the game if it's possible) can hear all of the action?

Table Canons

Could anyone please provide me with example(s) of Table Canons? Preferably I'd like to see one by Bach. Thanks, Neil9999 (talk) 16:08, 8 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't heard the term "table canon" before -- sounds like a kind of Mirror Canon and Crab canon in one. I think one of the canons from The Musical Offering by Bach might be a table canon. This page has examples of the scores -- you can see how some of the canons use two clefs, one upside-down and another rightside-up. Check out "Canon 9. Canon a 2 Quaerendo invenietis", that looks like it fits the definition of table canon. Of course like the rest of the Musical Offering canons it is also a riddle, and can't just be played right from the score without "solving" it first. Pfly (talk) 07:23, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Film about flying

I can't remember the title of this film. It's a 1930s movie set on an isolated South American airfield with a company owned by a guy who's so cheap he only buys worn-out planes, which are flown by disgraced pilots he hires over the phone. His latest hire brings his wife and she falls for another pilot. In the ending, the husband forces the cheapskate boss into a plane and takes off.

Music: 54 40 Album

What can I do to prevent my post from being immediately deleted? ... I recently attempted to post an article on a rare 54 40 album which predates all existing material currently on the 54 40 page. The album is called Things Are Still Coming Ashore. I've searched long and hard for a source other than the album itself and have turned up nothing.

I have also taken pictures of the album in hopes of uploading and posting them to the article itself, however, I clearly do not have the power to do so.

A couple of ghits here[3] might help. AFAIK, you can upload an image with the right license and an explanation that it is yours, low-res and only for identification in the article.

Colbert singing in Korean

In the episodes of the Colbert Report where Stephen did a parody of the Korean pop star Rain, was he really singing in Korean(in the lyrics that weren't "He's singing in Korean")? If so, what did the lyrics mean, and were the subtitles(implying a love song that alluded to lots of Korean things such as pickled cabbage and Hyundais) accurate? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.224.182.55 (talk) 16:48, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Etrian Odyssey

Hi, I'm planning to get Etrian Odyssey 2:Heroes of Langaard when it's realeased in north america. This would be my first experience with an "old-school" RPG, and I've heard that the secound one has rebalanced the difficulty and made it a littlew less fustrating.I tend to get fustrated whenever I'm stuck in a game. My question is: Would it be worth it for me to get the origional Etrian Odyssey as well? Emma Hordika (talk) 18:48, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]


Yes they were exactly accurate. for example 이 봐 자기야 나의 현대 차에 오라타. "Hey baby, get in to my hyundai and go for a ride" Korean spelling may be wrong i am a foreigner

about an advert on tv

Can anyone tell me which group and what song have a recent advert on TV ripped off the idea of dancing on running machines please? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Liamliverpool (talk • contribs) 15:20, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That one's easy. OK Go released a music video for their song "Here it goes again" in 2006 with an elaborate choreography on several treadmills, done in a single take. The music video became extremely popular, especially on the Internet. Any dancing on a video or ad or anything else done on treadmills afterwards can be considered a ripoff of this music video.

Football (soccer) lineups

Considering the sport's popularity I was surprised I was unable to find many lineups for football matches contested more than ten years or so ago. In particular I would like to view lineups for FA Premiership matches contested within its first few years (i.e. 92 - 95), and lower English leagues if possible. Anyone know anywhere to find this? Soccerbase is the best I could find but is pretty poor really. --80.4.203.142 (talk) 23:46, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I very much doubt you are going to find that kind of detail anywhere online. You need to go back to printed sources, i.e. contemporary newspapers and back copies of the Rothmans Football Yearbook. --Richardrj talk email 23:50, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Association of Football Statisticians have reams of information although their site requires a subscription, but they do supply TV and the media with statistics so the quality of their information should be top notch.

The Entertainment Élite

Why do people need to have so many celebrities to be entertained ? Ever since all the Kings and Queens died, all the Knights and Valets are gone, all the dramatic Grandeur of yore was swept away, we had to invent Hollywood. But hey, our new found stars are also rich and famous. Does society really need the rich and famous, and why to they seem to thrive in a democracy ? 69.157.246.246 (talk) 11:46, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because the industry in which they work brings in millions upon millions and largely relies on their 'name' to get people in the door. A film with Tom Hanks will draw millions of punters because his reputation is such that he (generally) only appears in big box-office films. The studio can afford to pay him $20m because he will guarantee more than that at the box-office/dvd-sales. We, people, make them rich because whilst we want to experience something 'new' we also want the familiarity and certainty of knowing that we are likely to like what we see. Not everybody thinks like that and many thrive on seeing the small-time stuff (sometimes to the point of becoming pretentious idiots who belief nothing mainstream can be truly great) but it comes down to something along the lines of - we want to experiment with new things and go see new entertainment, but we also don't want to risk it with something entirely unknown (at least as a mass audience) so those that cater for his audience can pull in huge revenue and afford to pay the people we 'trust' huge amounts. You might be interesting in looking about cultural homogenization (spelling). As much as cultures differ a large amount of cross-over exists, there-in exists the mass-market appeal of mainstream 'celebrity'. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.221.133.226 (talk) 15:30, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Highschool Horror Movie?

OK. Yet another on of those "What was that movie?" questions. It was a horror movie, I recall seeing on a Saturday afternoon Horror block on network television. Date of production is likely mid-to-late 1980's. The title is something reminiscent of "Horror Hell School High" or "Horror High School." There is one scene in which a girl refuses to dissect a frog during class, she is later dissected or dissects her teacher. There is another scene where there is blood in the hallways, and some student slide down it. Anyone have any ideas? It's been fifteen years since I've seen it. AtaruMoroboshi (talk) 18:42, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

comic strip

I'm trying to think of the name of a comic strip I used to read in the newspaper. I read it in Newsday, but I'm pretty sure it was syndicated nationally. It was a one-panel comic, like Ziggy. The main characters were a married couple who made dry, derisive comments about each other, and both invariably had bored/ironic expressions on their faces. The husband followed the "lazy husband" stereotype common in comic strips - he would watch a lot of TV on the couch, etc, and his wife would complain to her friends about him. Sometimes the setting would be a cocktail party. Any guesses? Thanks. --MagneticFlux (talk) 20:00, 12 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't say that I remember the movie well enough to answer but you can probably figure it out by going to the article for American Pie (film) or looking through the pages for the cast at the Internet Movie Database. Dismas|(talk) 18:14, 10 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If you're referring to Tara Reid's character's boyfriend's brother then it's Casey Affleck (Ben's brother). Zain Ebrahim (talk) 08:40, 11 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have no idea if it is Tara Reid's character's boyfriend's brother. I believe the character in question is talking on the phone to Tara Reid's character's boyfriend, and tells Tara Reid's character's boyfriend where the Bible (or Sex Bible?) is.68.148.164.166 (talk) 00:56, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I see you left the same response on my talk page. The guy you're describing is the brother. Check American Pie (film) and Casey Affleck and you'll see that they have the same surname. Zain Ebrahim (talk) 16:41, 13 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

How do you Kill?

I love Morrowind. I am currently playing Morrowind Elder Scrolls, still haven't finished it, the problem is that I can't finish it. My character seems to melt through walls most of the time or I am just getting killed. The problem is that I can't kill anything. I swing my sword and it isn't hitting the enemy. I cast some magic and it doesn't hit the enemy. My question to you is: How do you kill anything in Morrowind?

Thank You

Always
