Hold Me While I'm Naked
edit... that in the Critics' Poll of the 100 best films of the 20th century, appearing in The Village Voice, George Kuchar's Hold Me While I'm Naked was ranked the 52nd best film of all time?

Article new enough, long enough, and adequately cited. Hook short enough, interesting enough, and also cited. Article appears to be neutral and free of copyright violations and plagiarism. QPQ Confirmed. Could add, "George Kuchar's" to the tag line. Cheers!♦ 7&6=thirteen (☎) 12:46, 2 June 2015 (UTC)

While the hook accurately reflected what the article said (in two places), unfortunately it's wrong. The film wasn't ranked the 52nd best of all time, but rather of the 20th century. Yes, at the time the poll was taken, films of the 20th century were almost all of the films of all time, but not quite. The date of the poll wasn't given in the hook; it was confusing and misleading to say "of all time". I've fixed the article in both places. The hook also seemed awkwardly redundant, so I struck it, and propose the following:

Alt 1 checks out. Gets rid of the ambiguity. Dr. Blofeld are you good with the Alt? 7&6=thirteen (☎) 09:50, 3 June 2015 (UTC)
