[edit]Incorrect information posted???
[edit]I believe that Rex Harrison starred opposite Audrey Hepburn (not Julie Andrews) in "My Fair Lady". Am I correct??? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.99.211.200 (talk) 00:07, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- Audrey Hepburn was in the movie version, and Julie Andrews was in the stage version. RudolfRed (talk) 00:35, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- And Rex Harrison was in both, in case that wasn't clear. Far as I know, soundtrack albums for both the stage and film versions are available. Side note: Andrews did all her own singing in the stage version, Harrison did all his own singing (such as it was) in both, while Hepburn sang only one song in the film, which was actually more of a recitation: the "Just You Wait" song. The rest of her songs were overdubbed by Marni Nixon. The extras on the DVD version I have, has a clip of Hepburn singing "Wouldn't It Be Loverly", and it's easy to see why they overdubbed with Marni. Hepburn could carry a tune just fine, but she didn't have the strength and range of voice they wanted. Marni did. Unfortunately, that overdubbing became public knowledge, and cost Audrey a chance at an Oscar. Julie, who had been turned away from the movie, instead won an Oscar as Mary Poppins. That's how things go in Hollywood sometimes. :) ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 03:02, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- I rather liked her "Loverly", but she clearly lacked enough power for "Show Me". —Tamfang (talk) 09:49, 9 July 2014 (UTC)

- To clarify further, there's My Fair Lady, the musical play; and My Fair Lady (film). ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 03:05, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
Name for a Paraphilia
[edit]Talking to a friend over coffee, he was explaining to me that he is aroused by watching women "flip out", especially if they look angry - or if they are breaking things, smashing things, etc. At any rate, despite reading a decent amount of texts on sexology/sexual psychology, I don't think I've ever heard of this specifically, is there a name for it? Is it common/uncommon? Thanks for any help:-)Phoenixia1177 (talk) 20:26, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- Rule 34 being what it is, "anger fetish" gives us a few hits, so that might be the best term to use. "Orgophilia" and "Thumophilia" (from the Greek ὀργὴ, "wrath", and θυμός, "indignation") might be possibilities for something more technical-sounding, but I don't think either of them have actually been used.

- Not sure of a medical-sounding word, but make-up sex is pretty hot and common. Wouldn't apply to watching a video of a stranger alone, though, if that's your friend's thing. InedibleHulk (talk) 21:44, 8 July 2014 (UTC)
- Not quite right, but re: breaking things, there's Crush_fetish. I'd imagine you could get additional answers at a site such as fetlife. SemanticMantis (talk) 17:42, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
- See also Catfight. On Senfield once, they were discussing what's interesting about watching two women fight. Their conclusion was that when it's over, they might kiss. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 18:33, 9 July 2014 (UTC)
