January 14[edit]

a film like "Prime"[edit]

Hello, I remember there was a film where a woman seduced her best friend's son (or vice versa), and they were Jews too, but I can't for the life of me recall what the title was (or any other details). Does anyone perhaps know? Thanks in advance, 92.230.209.156 (talk) 01:01, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure about the Jewishness of the characters, but you aren't thinking of The Graduate, are you? What's Prime? Clarityfiend (talk) 01:44, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

umm, no... http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0387514/ 92.230.209.156 (talk) 12:23, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

oh, and I think I remember that the guy was on countryside vacation or something 92.230.209.156 (talk) 12:32, 14 January 2011 (UTC) or was it in a big city?... 92.230.209.156 (talk) 12:35, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

How much did James Cromwell get paid to be in the movie Babe[edit]

Just one spoken line "That'll do, pig."76.27.175.80 (talk) 02:55, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While that is his most famous line, that is absolutely not the only line he spoke in the film. Googlemeister (talk) 15:30, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Also, there is a great deal more to acting than merely speaking lines. Consider the careers of Charlie Chaplin or Jacques Tati. 87.81.230.195 (talk) 17:10, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, thanks for those pieces of information. But I'd still like to know what he got paid for that role if your fact finding skills are good enough to get that ( mine aren't).76.27.175.80 (talk) 22:45, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Asian Games[edit]

how come Asian games is the only pan games that doesn't have an international organization counterpart like OAS has pan-am and AU has pan-african? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.95.106.126 (talk) 03:08, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There's never been a "Pan-Asian" culture the way there is a "Pan-African" culture or a "Pan-American" culture. There are semi-continental Asian organizations, such as ASEAN and SAARC. There is also a recently created Asia Cooperation Dialogue, but it doesn't have the weight of other Pan-continental organizations. --Jayron32 04:47, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Other continents tend to be more homogenous: South and central America share catholicism, mostly share Spanish, and have and common experience of colonialism; Africa has experience of colonialism and poverty, and is mostly Christian aside from the north which has more of an Arab identity; Europe is historically almost all Christian with a closely-interrelated history; while Asia has no common history or religion, being split religiously between Muslim, Hindu, Chinese traditional (now officially atheist), Japanese traditional/Shinto, Buddhist, minority Christian (mainly in SE); and historically with very different experiences in Russian empire, Ottoman empire, British/French colonies, and independent China and Japan. This variation is probably related to the fact that Asia is far bigger than any other continent, with about half the world's population and the largest in area. --Colapeninsula (talk) 12:19, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Is Tom Lenahan still active in celtic music?[edit]

Is Tom Lenahan still active in celtic music? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.184.139.96 (talk) 11:03, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do you have that spelled right? I can't find any info on any musicians named Tom Lenahan. --Jayron32 15:40, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Probably refers to this group called "Lenahan", led by a Tom Lenahan.[1] The page is 3 years old, so who know. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 15:45, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Looks like you can use the "contact" link on that page to ask Tom himself.--Shantavira|^{feed me} 16:11, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He is still actively performing in Kansas City.

Which film is this?[edit]

I remember some film I saw, it was a USA-made comedy/action film about some criminals who made a robbery. One of the characters mentioned a clown whose name was "Chip... Skip". Then at the end of the film, when he was questioned by the police, he gave his name as "Chipowski... Skipowski". What is the name of this film? JIP | Talk 22:19, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

That sounds like the Bill Murray comedy Quick Change. --Antiquary (talk) 22:34, 14 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Great film. Supposedly based upon a true story. Chris the Russian Christopher Lilly 07:56, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
