Being Ian movie

[edit]

What is the name of the movie that was being mocked in Being Ian where Ian imagines himself as a radio jockey on the roof of the high school with a monkey playing with the sound effects? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.14.117.187 (talk) 00:15, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mario

[edit]

1. Will there ever be a Mario Party 9?

2. If Hudson was bought by either Sony or Microsoft, would the Mario Party series continue? If so, would Nintendo make it by themselves, or would they make it with the help of some other developer?

3. Out of Nintendo and Hudson, who owns the rights to the half-dozen or so characters who appear only in the Mario Party games?

Answer to #1: There's no guarantee. But I wouldn't be surprised if Mario Party stopped, since Mario Party 8 sucked.
Answer to #2: Probably not. Nintendo letting one of its major competitors earn money off of some of its biggest characters (Mario and freinds, namely), who also happen to be the biggest names in video games, would be suicide. The only way I see Mario Party continuing after being bought out by Sony or Microsoft is if something like the case with Mario Hotel and Link: The Faces of Evil on the Cdi occured. You know, Nintendo lets Sony or Microsoft use a limited number of Nintendo characters in a limited number of games as a result of a business deal that fell through.
Answer to #3: I'd say that Hudson owned the characters who only appear in the Mario Party games, but that's out of my own opinion, not fact. I just think that if these characters were owned by Nintendo, they would have appeared in at least one game outside of the Mario Party series.

1. Most likely.
2. Nintendo would probably continue it themselves.
3. I'm pretty sure Ninty owns all of them, but I haven't played #7 or 8, so I can't vouch for that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Schwarzes Nacht (talkcontribs) 05:09, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

All lyrics sites are likely copyright violations, and thus illegal (they do not have permission to reprint lyrics created by someone else). We cannot recommend that you do anything illegal, though I do hear that Google will still find these sites, even though they are posting illegal material ;) --Jayron32.talk.contribs 13:45, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In the song Gone Till November by Wyclef Jean, did he sample a Mexican song or tune? I am referring to the voilin part of the song. If so, what is the name of that song? --Emyn ned (talk) 14:06, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Seeking Answer to Trivia Question About The Sixth Sense

[edit]

I am literally in the middle of a scavenger hunt and I have this seemingly simple question to answer but I can't figure it out! I need to know: What is the name of the Philadelphia street/park from “The Sixth Sense”? I guess there are a variety of answers possible but I know it isn't Washington Square or Rittenhouse, and I guess it would be a park named after a street or the answer is both the name of a street AND a park. You are my heroes if you can answer this quickly and correctly! CouplandForever (talk) 23:41, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

To which part or scene are you referring? A quick search on IMDB provides this list of filming locations:The Sixth Sense Filming Locations --Zerozal (talk) 14:13, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Possibly Boathouse Row? --LarryMac | Talk 15:09, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
And if that doesn't work for you, this page lists several locations. --LarryMac | Talk 15:14, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
