| Sunday August 25 12:16:01 2002 Re: [#7783]- More Tears, US Acid Comedy Term? |
| > What's the common US term for Acid Comedy? Say that, as > notice you fellas in US have your own terms for this. "I edited it, but I'm not sure where I picked up on "drama" now" Well, just from watching average US comedy shows, noticed normally have a straight lady and wacky fella or fellas, so humour intended stands out. Ken Finkleman portrays himself, lead ladies and fellas as all self absorbed twits. You can catch the humour, acid as it is, but isn't as pronounced. Possible this would be classed "Drama" from US perspective? "Other terms for the genre that are used in the States are "black comedy" and "dark comedy." That's more what I'd call it. Or Biff's "sardonic satire" would fit too. |

| > Combat, ep: "Weep No More" (2.27) > > Appears, a second scene involving Anjanette Comer? "Sounds like a different scene to me, too. At least we've got an episode title." Exactly, IMDB has this airing for you fellas in US up till 1967. But due to usual later airings up here, recall the series much more recent. 1973 or 1974? Didn't recall any scenes then, and just from reviewing the few I've recently watched since the entry, same as I'd recalled: Shooting, mayhem, fellas in German uniforms performing neat "shot dead and falling stunts", etc. Admit, was suspicious this a case of the famous "Scene Creep". Especially with Unknown actress and scant episode description. However, since reading that blooper post, have been more favourable to checking into this scene here. |

| Sunday August 25 13:12:34 2002 Freakylinks |
| Entry # 5514
Actresses Lisa Sheridan, unknown Episode name: "Subject:Live fast, die young". The current description needs correction, because it almost made me lose this scene. I had checked in the DB beforehand and sat alert, VCR remote in hand. The storyline turned out completely differently than described, and I was about to turn off my TV when the scene suddenly came. There are no "adrenalin-sucking vampires" in the episode. Description: A male freakylinker has been captured by a young couple, who gets a kick out of subtracting a chemical substance from their victims blood (whereby the victims die), then injecting this substance into themselves, making them temporarily immortal, and able them to survive serious car crashes, shootouts and falls from high places. In the scene, cute Chloe (Sheridan), wearing a red top with cleave, one female police officer and two males are cuffed, each to one chair, by the villains. They have each wrist cuffed to each arm of the chair. Chloe says to the captured male freakylinker (who is not bound at this time): "you have to help us", He answers "I dont have to do anything" (pretending to be allied with the villains). Then he kisses her, kind of violently. During the kiss, she utters ommmphh -when she discovers he puts the cuff key into her mouth. After the baddies have left, Chloe drops the key down into her cleave, moves a bit, and the key comes out below her top where ske can reach it. She frees herself and the others. Action in the last 25 minutes. No gags. |

| Sunday August 25 14:11:31 2002 Eagle´s wing |
| Record number 1745
Medium: Movie Actress: Caroline Langrishe Now we are at it (being almost mislead by DB) a few weeks ago this movie was shown here. I had checked it beforehand, using entry "Eagles Wing" AND "Eagle´s Wing", both giving no hits. So, I thought, theres no scenes in this film. Watching TV anyway, I zapped into it, by chance. I saw lovely Caroline, hands tied behind her back, being forced away by an Indian. Dont know what I missed before that. After, a lot of good scenes. The description is OK, but there seens to be a problem with the entrys. If I use Carolines name I get it, cant get it with the film title. Just dont want others to miss this lovely film with lovely scenes. You must make the title entries broader somehow. |

Try the latter and see what happens. |

> You're using an acute accent mark, not an apostrophe. > > Try the latter and see what happens. Yes, sorry, my bad. I never knew the difference, foreigner as I am. Now I got the right entry with the title. What if other foreign idiots like me tries the same thing? Is it possible to make the entry "Eagles wing" a hit? |

Is it possible to make the entry "Eagles wing" a hit? > Nothing idiotic about it ... just a lack of "local knowledge", as they say on the golf course. The only solution I can see would be to add an alternate title using the accent to every entry with an apostrophe ... personally I wouldn't want to take that on (and couldn't in any event, as my acute accent only works with alt + apostrophe or "e" to go over a letter, as in "animé"). Removing the apostrophe would torpedo searches using it. I suppose a caveat could be added to the database search page ... that would be Brian's call based on whether he thinks there's a need for it. |

For example only entering "eagle" would have given you just eight matches and "wing" six. You could scan through six or eight matches pretty quickly. In the database, we use the title as listed in the IMDb. |
