Talk:Still Crazy

Rewrite

I think it is pretty obvious why this article needs rewriting. I have not seen all of the film myself, so I guess someone else will need to do the work. 86.27.21.223 15:07, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

I have given this article a rewrite, so that it now has an infobox, a synopsis, some trivia and some extra categories. I hope that this covers enough, and feel free to add to it if I have got any information wrong or missed out any important information. Sebrat 19:24, 30 July 2006

Still a bit sketchy - needs fleshing out more. Spose we could take a lot of inspiration from Spinal Tap... —Vanderdecken∴ ∫ξφ 19:40, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

I'll look when I get home but I think the timeline is a bit whonky...
IIRC they start getting better and are doing quite well when Ray sees the interview on TV and goes on a "bender". He never does get to take the drugs but drops them and they scatter at the side of a pond. Trying to pick them up he wanders onto the pond and falls through. He makes his own way out but is helped back to the hotel by the managers kid. The situation is used as an "attempted suicide" by the manager chick to help assuage some feelings in the band.

It doesn't help as much as they need it to and the band breaks down yet again, precipitated by Hughie. This time Tony is the one that implores the members to make the band bigger than themselves. The speech works and they try for Wesbech. It's during this time that Tony and Karen disciver Hughie has been sheltering Brian at a monistery and persuade Brian to revisit the band. He does but insists he can't return to performing.

During the Wesbech festival Ray gets grandiose and Les gets spiteful and the set starts to fall apart. Then Tony starts playing The Flame Still Burns and the rest of the band steps in. As the vocal part comes up Ray gives up his grandiose notions and allows Les to sing the part (Les has always hated the way Ray did it so they stopped playing it for a while). As the bridge aproaches Karen gives Brian his old guitar and encourages him to step on stage.

His entrance is greeted with praise from Ray and screams from the crowd.

But that's just what I remember... I'l rewatch it when I get home.Padillah 20:15, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

OK, I rewrote what I could while watching it on my laptop. I don't know if the writing style is any good but the facts and timeline are there. I wasn't sure what level of detail to go into so I left it kind of middle of the road. If there is a GA movie band article we can pattern after let me know and I'll do some more work. Should we have a "history" part to cover the history of Keith and Brian and such? This would make referencing them much easier and make the timeline much more linear.

Band name

Was the band named after the Billie Holiday song? Either in the real world or fictitiously, or perhaps both?Renke 15:11, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

As far as I'm aware no mention of how the band came to be so named is ever made. Not in the movie nor in the "Making Of" featurette. Padillah 17:53, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

I think it is so obvious that the song is named after the Billie Holliday song that they did not need to say so. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.7.28.224 (talk) 01:41, 22 January 2009 (UTC)

Missing references

I think the article could do with a few more refernces to things in the movie... like the Body Part Game. Or the Different fruit names each member has (bruised Fruit, Sour Fruit...).

Some mention of Ray's pencant for grandiosity (also his unarguable representation of Ziggy Startdust needs to be in there somewhere.Padillah 20:22, 9 March 2007 (UTC)

What plot description

While it looks like the original plot description was "a bit" on the longish side, the recent effort to shorten it has left it incomprehensible. I'm not sure what to do about it, but if I'd have to choose between this version and the longer, I'd prefer the longer one, even if rather detailed.

Plot too long

I've edited out the details, But aspects keeps on lengthing and cancelling my edits. She must be permanently blocked. 2600:1006:B10B:204A:FB8A:D8AE:231C:3F12 (talk) 15:56, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

That's because you're making the plot incoherent. Stop randomly blanking paragraphs. If you can't streamline it properly, then just tag it with {{plot}} and wait for someone else to do it. When you remove random paragraphs, nobody can understand what's going on. NinjaRobotPirate (talk) 00:02, 11 August 2015 (UTC)
