Maintain a nice atmosphere here (phere-here nice rhyming ha ha)

Didn't Brad Pitt show up in Seven Psychopaths? That should be on his movie list. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 214.3.138.234 (talk) 14:18, 21 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No, he was not in that film. - thewolfchild 17:54, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

WHERE?!?

«Being John Malkovich»

ADDED!!!! - thewolfchild 17:57, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Filmography

Latest major revision, made without consensus, has multiple issues, and requires work and clean-up for it to remain. Major changes to tables also require consensus. If Rotten Tomatoes scores and Box Office Mojo box office totals are to be included, they should be added to existing table, and not at expense of removing info found in 'notes' column. Unnecessary markup should not be added. - thewolfchild 17:49, 27 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

'Producer' table?

I see that someone has arbitrarily removed the 'Producer' table from this page, without seeking consensus to do so. All the producer credits have now been lumped into the main filmog table with all the acting credits, making it large, unwieldy and difficult to use (as in, which films did he act in, produce, or both?). I don't expect much in the way of co-operation from that editor in restoring the table, so it's left to the community. However, I thought I would take this opportunity to seek input on an alternative table format. I see many articles like this are now using the multi-column table for actors who also serve as writers, directors and producers (for an example, see the George Clooney filmography). I think that style would work well here. - ^theWOLFchild 12:26, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I am fine with a format based on Aamir Khan filmography but a saperate table for production will clutter the list. -- Frankie _talk 12:51, 16 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Anything is better than the way it is now. In fact, it was just fine before. So are you going to create the "Aamir Khan"-style table? - ^theWOLFchild 00:04, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Yes and apologies if I were rude. -- Frankie _talk 11:48, 19 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

No apology is necessary. I look forward to the new table. - ^theWOLFchild 04:21, 20 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@FrB.TG: - This is much better. Good job. - ^theWOLFchild 00:04, 22 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Removing “Network” Column from Television table

I find having the Network column in a filmography irrelevant and unnecessary. A single actors filmography shouldnt be the place to list the little details of the show itself. I would just remove per WP:FILMOGRAPHY but its a larger edit so I didn’t want to ruffle feathers lol Let me know who opposes or supports :)

Also, shouldn’t the row sort be in the year column and not the title column? I can change but let me know

"No" template in table markup

Thewolfchild, the placements of the no template in the tables are completely redundant. If the cell is left empty, it obviously means that Pitt didn‘t have any role in that particular area. Do we really have to spoon-feed the readers like this? And it wasn’t like this when I took this list to FL back in 2015 until someone thought it was a good idea. FrB.TG (talk) 18:49, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There's no need to personalize this, nor become hostile. There is a need to follow WP:BRD, a widely accepted and practiced convention. A lot can change in 7 years, for example, the additonal markup was added almost 3½ years ago, so there's a lot of implied consensus during that period. (A period during which you edited the page several times yourself, taking no issue with the mark up.) You made an edit. It was revrted. A discussion has stated. Now let the process play out as it should. - wolf 21:07, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I wasn’t being hostile. I was simply stating why it’s completely unnecessary. Like I said in my edit summary, you can see just how absurd it is when you imagine it in prose form. FrB.TG (talk) 21:12, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I see a similar table format is listed as an acceptable example at WP:FILMOGRAPHY. Honestly, I still don’t see the point of it but I’m not gonna fight over it. FrB.TG (talk) 21:33, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Glad you mentioned it, because that example shows that it's not a binary choice, and a blank cell does not necessarily equate to "no". Also, I wasn't looking for a "fight" either, just that we follow the process. When given a chance, BRD often works out. Anyway, glad this is resolved. Have a nice day - wolf 00:31, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

No mention of Guy Richie

BP is a very accomplished professional. Guy Richie’s Snatch isn’t mentioned nor the film where he was an IRA member on the run Thanks 62.28.143.206 (talk) 19:07, 30 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
