July 30[edit]

Homage[edit]

I was reading Wikipedia's description of Timecode (very difficult to watch, by the way) and it says "A homage to this film can be heard during another of Mike Figgis's films, Hotel." Can it really be said to be a homage if it's by the same director? "Reference" perhaps? (Maybe this should really by on the language desk, but it's about entertainment.)--Shantavira|^{feed me} 12:01, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe it depends on whether you call it "HOM-ij", or "om-AHJ" as popculturalists are, strangely, wont to do. -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 19:23, 30 July 2014 (UTC) [reply]

Given the "A", it's apparently "HOM-ij". Not sure if that kind of thing really qualifies as a/an "homage" or merely as an "inside joke". George Lucas is famous for doing that: R2-D2 and C-3PO appearing as hieroglyphs in Raiders of the Lost Ark; several ET's appearing in the corner of the Galactic parliament in Star Wars III or one of those; and repeated references to or variations on "THX-1138". ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 19:32, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, you can't pay homage to yourself, but you can to one of your creations, through another. InedibleHulk (talk) 02:23, 2 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Oh no, you can. Erik Satie dedicated at least one of his piano pieces "to myself". -- Jack of Oz ^{[pleasantries]} 02:35, 3 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Well, that's pretty cheesy. A fromage, maybe. InedibleHulk (talk) 01:05, 5 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

vengaboys "2 Brazil" music video models[edit]

Is there a website where it shows who are the models for the Vengaboys music videos "2 Brazil"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.29.33.9 (talk) 17:15, 30 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
