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.

I suggest we could use a more scholarly "critical analysis" than the one currently linked (by Jason Pitt). 70.121.157.246 06:09, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Appearances

I fail to see how this documentary has top listed stars at the beginning of the article. Like IMDB, could a list of all who were featured in the film be appended [1]? --ConradKilroy 18:27, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

This is in the article:

Although considered a highlight of the film by many critics, The New Yorker reported that Sarah Silverman's autobiographical telling of the joke, in which she tells the story of having been one of the Aristocrat performers as a child - only to make the revelation that she was molested by veteran talk show host Joe Franklin. This reportedly led to Franklin considering a defamation lawsuit against the comedian.[2]

The New Yorker reported that what? I suspect this sentence has been mangled through the efforts of too many different editors. Could somebody who knows about this controversy check and fix it? --Grace 23:05, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Someone else fixed the original mangle, but I had to reword it slightly because it came across as if Silverman was actually, seriously suggesting Franklin raped her, which would be borderline libellous and a violation of WP:BLP (not WP:BLT as I accidentally put in the edit summary; a BLT is another evil form of animal usually found in roadside diners. I have my own issues with BLTs, but that has nothing to do with Biographies of Living Persons!) 23skidoo 02:17, 5 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Bob Saget

I think we could mention that Bob Saget's appearance (and version) of the joke in the movie could be considered one of the biggest, if not biggest, surprise in the entire movie when you take into consideration the squeaky-clean image cultivated on Full House

Actually, I believe Saget was known to be pretty raunchy in his stand up acts during the mid-80's and had to clean up his image to take on the role of Danny Tanner. Granted, Full House and America's Funniest Videos were the two shows that brought him his greatest fame. But he has played similarly vulgar roles prior to this film as in Half Baked and Dumb and Dumberer. Hoof Hearted 15:10, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
