Saw VII 3D

I have searched and don't know where to ask, About Saw VII. My question is is it going to be released in both formats, my local theaters are not equiped for 3-D. So I am hoping it will be available in 2-D format as well. I read the article on the topic, it says it was filmed in 3-D, like My bloody Valentine and so I read the article for that movie too where it said that it was released in bot formats is there anyway you can find out if saw will be doing this as well for those who dont have the theaters nearby that do 3-D Thanks Elizabeth D.

Pretty much all 3D movies are released in 2D as well. It costs no more to release a 2D version, and it reaches a wider audience that way. Whether your local theaters will choose to show it is another matter.--Shantavira|^{feed me} 16:11, 27 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

He Who Whispers

Hi, I have a serious question about the plot outline of this novel you have written. You have written that : A few months after WWII, Miles Hammond is invited to the first meating of the Murder Club, in five years. As he arives, no one else is there, except Barbara Morell, and Professor Rigaud. With no one else, Rigaud tells the story of Fay Seton. Seton was a young girl, working the Brookes familly. She fell in love with Harry Brookes, and the two became engaged. But Harry's father, Howard, did not aprove. One day, he agreed to meet Fay in a tower, all that remained of a burned out chateau. A secure location, on a water front, it was the perfect place for such a meeting.

Now according to what you have written it is Rigaud who is telling the story about Fay Seton, OK ?

Next you write :Harry and Professor Rigaud left Howard alone at ten minutes untill four. When they returned, fifteen minutes later....

Now please tell me how does Rigaud himself become a character in the story he is telling someone...? -- Jon Ascton (talk) 06:15, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have no knowledge of the book in question, but most of the stories people tell are about events in which they were involved. Why do you find this unusual? AJ Cham 06:38, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, looking into a bit more, something concerns me. Kevin is telling you the truth in that he did not write the plot summary – see here. Your accusation of cowardice was excessively rude anyway, but given the facts it is 100% uncalled for and you owe him an apology. AJ Cham 06:48, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, man. That was uncalled for. I really am sorry. Anyway, I was trying to be funny...

Also, the proper place to discuss this is on the article's talk page. If you think the plot summary is wrong, there's no point in chasing down the editor who wrote it and asking them why they wrote what they did. Just raise it on the talk page, and if you don't get an answer within a reasonable period of time go ahead and change it yourself. That's what wikis are about. Or you can just be bold and make the change immediately. --Viennese Waltz ^talk 12:20, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Questions about German public broadcasting

Why aren't there any nationally oriented ARD radio stations? --84.61.131.18 (talk) 10:32, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Deutschlandradio and its stations are nationally oriented, and operated jointly by ARD and ZDF. Rimush (talk) 12:24, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Why aren't there any other nationally oriented ARD radio stations? --84.61.131.18 (talk) 18:08, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Will KI.KA ever broadcast in HD? --84.61.131.18 (talk) 10:32, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

1. When the ARD was formed in 1950, the broadcasting organizations that existed (BR, HR, RB, SWF, SDR, NWDR) had already been running their own radio stations for four or five years. Perhaps the ARD did not see the need to take over the operations of and/or provide a full day's programming for all the stations when the members were doing a fine job themselves, and most resources were needed for getting Das Erste on the air anyway. There are the overnight programming services ARD-Nachtexpress, ARD-Nachtkonzert, and ARD-Popnacht. However, these services only consist of one member station producing overnight content for other member stations; there is no central involvement rather than the distribution of the program, and therefore these cannot be considered to be radio stations either.

2. I imagine if it ever will it's not of high priority, considering HD cannot be broadcast terrestrially (yet), satellite space is limited, and ARD/ZDF just went HD a few months ago. Xenon54 (talk) 21:47, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
