Gay boxers

Are there any notable homosexual boxers (I mean out of the closet, of course)? --Taraborn (talk) 09:11, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender sportspeople only mentions Mark Leduc and Lisa-Marie Vizaniari. According to Outsports, there are also Gina Guidi, Savoy Howe, and Charles Jones, as well as the kickboxers Ramona Gatto and Pirinya Kiatbusaba. ---Sluzzelin talk 09:26, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you! --Taraborn (talk) 12:34, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

some questions that you might be interested with

1. Who is the female voice behind the song She Said, I Said (Time We Let Go) by NLT?

Her lines in the chorus are/were:

Baby don't leave, don't leave don't leave
Tell me you'll stay, you'll stay, you'll stay

2. Which song was sampled in "Face Down, Ass Up" by the 2 Live Crew in their album Banned in the U.S.A.?

Thank you in advance. iaNLOPEZ1115 (talk) 10:51, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The answer to #2 is "That's the Way (I Like It)" by KC and the Sunshine Band. --jh51681 (talk) 23:19, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And #1 is Mila J, apparently. --jh51681 (talk) 23:33, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Another film (solved lightning-fast!)

Good day, fellow Wikipedians. I have another film question for you. I _might_ have posted this once already, but I am totally not sure. Here it goes.

From what I remember, the movie is about a writer who is to write a book. He moves into a rather old-style hotel and tries and tries and has little success. The hotel brings him visions of sorts, has long corridors. I think one of the visions was a young girl, probably with long, blonde, curly hair. I think mirrors played an important part. Towards the end of the movie the long corridors of the hotel are pictured as burning, and while they do, the protagonist writes his novel. The final scenes show him bringing the manuscript to his editor.

This is at least ten years old, probably more - I definitely saw it before 2000, very probably before 1995/6. As I remember the protagonist is played by a tall, thin person, and he wears glasses. Any ideas will be appreciated. Thanks in advance and have a great day! --Ouro (blah blah) 16:12, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds like what I recall of Barton Fink, although the plot synopsis in our article doesn't match well. --LarryMac | Talk 16:31, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Upon checking out the excerpts available on yt - nailed it. Thanks a bunch! --Ouro (blah blah) 16:56, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
