As mentioned in my edit, other sitcoms have been removed if they were originally radio (such as Hithhikers) and in this case the movie was based on an episode of the radio series. Duggy 1138 02:29, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Remake: "With the exception of remakes such as 1998's Psycho, which is almost a shot-for-shot color recreation of the 1960 film, remakes generally make significant character, plot, and theme changes. For example, the 1968 film The Thomas Crown Affair is centered on a bank robbery, while its 1999 remake involves the theft of a valuable piece of artwork. Similarly, when the 1969 film The Italian Job was remade in 2003, few aspects were carried over. Another notable example is the 1932 film Scarface which was remade in 1983 starring Al Pacino; whereas the 1932 is centered around bootleg alcohol, the 1983 version is based around cocaine." Duggy 1138 ( talk) 12:33, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
Yes, thank you for finally seeing my point.

How is Mr Bean a Sitcom? What situation is involved? I certainly agree that it is a comedy, but a sitcom, no. It's a series of sketches with the same main character. Very different thing. Did you not realise this or do you know, and are still sore over the Hancock's Half Hour thing? Duggy 1138 ( talk) 04:07, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
Definitions of categories are usually couched in usuallys and commonlys. Look at music styles, the definition of SF or what constitutes a Superhero. Hancock is certainly a borderly line case... it is a single-sketch show woven into a sitcom. I can't comment on LoG. BEAN Narrative plot structure
Recurring character*s*
Extended beyond sketch length
You admit that it wasn't a sitcom but when played togther it "looks like" one, well, hello, that means it isn't one. A local station played the first futurama film as 3 episodes, it doesn't make it a new series. What is your problem with keeping wikipedia accurate? The BBC might have it categories as a sitcom on some list somewhere, but when they did a poll of the 100 best sitcoms it didn't appear... and you really think that people didn't think of it, or that it was excluded? Duggy 1138 ( talk) 10:28, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
Well, if you don't tell anyone we agree I won't tell anyone. As for musicals (which I generally hate) I tend to say that when a conversation is had in song instead of dialogue... By which first Blues Brothers film become sololy due to "Think" by Aretha. However, I'm not knowledgeable on these things. The only think, IMHO, that stops Bean being a sketch comedy, IMHO, is that there is one character instead of a number of them... and I'm not really sure that that's a defining factor of a sketch comedy, but rather what we are used to. Since most of the episodes are made up of separate sketches it really does fit the definition. Well, it would basically be this page with a few editions (Monty Python, obviously - although only "...And Now For Something Completely Different" is a remake any with "Monty Python" in the title is obviously an offical spin-off. There would be problems with comedy duos with sketch shows appearing together in film, people would add them whether there was any offical connection or not. But the Bean problem would be solved. I can't see why TV Comedy -> Film isn't and more or less needed then Sitcom -> Film... if the comedy -> film list was oversized and out of control, sure, but otherwise, I don't think the narrowing is needed.

Hi, Good call correcting that. You seem to know more about Eastwood than even I do. Just looking at your editing history. Do you somehow know him? Dr. Blofeld White cat 09:14, 21 April 2010 (UTC)
I'm gradually improving the article and will help promote it to FA someday, I was wondering if you would be interested in helping myself and Nehrams2020 improve the article. Offhand it needs a image/popular culture section which I'm not looking forward to writing as it is difficult to avoid POV and original research and is likely to attract fan crufters. But I think such a section discussin his image and acting/directing style is perfectly appropriate. Could you help me write a decent referenced section in User:Dr. Blofeld/Launch Pad 2? Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:35, 29 April 2010 (UTC)
I thought you'd be interested? Dr. Blofeld White cat 18:29, 10 May 2010 (UTC)
I see you re-reverted the weird comment on the Harry Palmer talk page. I had reverted it on first sight, but on reflection - it was only on the talk page, and even if it is OR and stupid, he probably had a right to post it, and I probably didn't have the right to take it out. So I left it - the chances of a consensus on including the theory in the page are not enormous, after all. :-) -- Ian Dalziel ( talk) 18:24, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited Sid James, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page British ( check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
