Editing Guidelines

If a non-film article already exists with the name of the film that you are trying to create an article for, disambiguate and use (film) in the title: Film Title (film)
- For more information see: Wikipedia:Naming conventions (films)
When writing an article about a particular film, the general format should be a concise lead section, followed by a plot summary of no more than 900 words, production details, a cast list, a reception section, and references.
Create an Infobox that tells all pertinent information about the film.

Friedkin's film Cruising was described in this article as "widely panned as being a horrible and homophobic film". It's well-established that it was widely criticized as homophobic. It's not well-established that it was widely called "horrible". Before we include such a value judgement we should be surer that it was that value judgement that was made and that someone who thinks the movie was horrible isn't exaggerating others' reactions to it. -- Antaeus Feldspar 23:59, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Pauline Kael

I removed the sentence "Among the major critics, the notably homophobic Pauline Kael, who despised Friedkin and panned everything he made, was alone in finding absolutely nothing redeeming about it" because it makes three fairly strong, broad assertions without providing any evidence. Kael's article does not seem to mention homophobia, so where is this coming from? Bhumiya (said/done) 03:05, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

The sentence was reinserted. I am removing it again. It is inherently POV, as well as not being backed up by a reference. The only reference cited states kael was "arguably homophobic". That acknowledges the POV and is decidedly different from what the wiki article says. Jeffpw 08:49, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
