Talk:8mm (film)

Untitled

Great movie but highly sadophobic. --Nemissimo 18:56, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I agree, people who enjoy inflicting and witnessing the pain of other people have got a bad rap in this film Gomez2002 18:03, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

I'm struck by the similarities between 8mm and the film Hardcore, a Paul Schrader film starring George C. Scott, released in 1979. Both films turn around a young girl who runs away from home and is possibly involved in a snuff film; both films have a detective searching for her. Both films have the protagonist traveling to California and searching in the porn subculture for the girl. In both films the protagonist picks up a sidekick/guide/amanuensis from the porn community; in Hardcore, it's both the detective and a female sex worker, while in 8mm, it's a male adult bookstore clerk. In both films, the protagonist finds it necessary to do a fair amount of dissembling in the course of his search. Both films have a strong male lead. In Hardcore, it's the father who's searching for the girl, helped to some extent by the detective; 8mm seems essentially to be a retelling of the same story, leaving the father out and taking the detective's point of view. The similarities are so strong that it's hard for me to believe that it's a coincidence, that they're completely unrelated. Anyone else seen both these films and had a similar impression? --71.226.152.210 02:25, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

I don't remember the song in Machine's house being Aphex Twin, I remember it being a DANZIG song.Hanz ofbyotch 23:34, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Unspecified source for Image:8MM.jpg

I found Image:8MM.jpg and noticed that the file's description page currently doesn't specify who created the content, so the copyright status is unclear. Someone will need to specify the owner of the copyright. If it was obtained it from a website, then a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a restatement of that website's terms of use of its content, is usually sufficient information. However, if the copyright holder is different from the website's publisher, then their copyright should also be acknowledged.

As well as adding the source, please add a proper copyright licensing tag if the file doesn't have one already. If you created/took the picture, audio, or video then the {{GFDL-self-no-disclaimers}} tag can be used to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the media meets the criteria at Wikipedia:Fair use, use a tag such as {{non-free fair use in|article name}} or one of the other tags listed at Wikipedia:Image copyright tags#Fair use.
