Editing Guidelines

Please remember these guidelines when editing a film article:

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.

"Harvey Weinstein of Miramax, wary of (or perhaps even pressured by) parent company Disney's opinion of the risky screenplay, passed on funding the production of the film. After Cary Woods showed him the final cut, however, Harvey and his brother Bob bought the distribution rights to the film on their own, without Miramax/Disney money (much like they did for Fahrenheit 9/11)."

This is slightly wrong, and somebody, not me, should correct it if they feel like it. The film was originally purchased by Miramax, by then a Disney company, at Sundance. When it was submitted to the MPAA they gave it an NC-17, which director Larry Clark rejected, opting instead to release it unrated because he wanted younger people to see it. Miramax, as part of Disney, is unable to release films unrated because of some agreement with the MPAA. Clark was offered money to cut the film to get a lower rating but refused. In the end the Weinsteins, the heads of Miramax, bought Kids back from Miramax and released it through their own new company called "Excalibur," which was created specifically to distribute the movie. Gus Van Sant is also credited as Executive Producer on the film when this article says he "fell off the project" after Cary Woods came along. Both in fact have producer credits.

[edit] youtube

on youtube.com they have the whole movie in ten part segments, where is part 1?

It is better if you sign your posts, and date them. Also wikipeadia does not support copyright infringement, I think. --Jackaranga 22:16, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Jenny & HIV

I think Jenny's drugged-out date rape near the end pretty much tells us that we can't trust her belief that Telly was the only sexual contact she'd had. I've chaned the plot description in the article to more accurately reflect what we saw in the film. Furthermore, since we are in fact dealing with a piece of fiction, it's hard to assess the "facts" of things that happened off-screen and were only discussed by unreliable characters in the story. --Wclark 01:23, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

In addtion "asper then rapes her in her sleep, therefore getting HIV." is incorrect. The fact is that there's a pretty low risk of female to male transmission of HIV. While clearly that's what the movie years to imply, it's a faulty assumed to assume Casper just infected himself.
