Max Payne Trailer Song

What is the song that plays in the Max Payne movie trailer. It sounds something of Marilyn Manson. Can somebody find out. Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Neon6419 (talk • contribs) 00:09, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

It is indeed by Marilyn Manson, "If I Was Your Vampire" from the album Eat Me, Drink Me. the wub "?!" 21:59, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Searching for name of 70's or 80's teen movie

I am looking for the name of a teen movie I remember from the 70's or 80's. It had a blond heartthrob type boy giving guitar lessons to a girl who was falling in love with him and vice versa. Thanks for your help!70.250.144.212 (talk) 16:53, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

After a quick Google search for "teen movie guitar lessons -spirit", this site suggests that it is something called Sooner or Later. [1] If you're wondering, I took out the word "spirit" because a bunch of the results were for guitar tabs for the song "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana.

Is the Paint Program In this Video Recognizable?

I can't really tell, and there isn't much to go on besides the occasional flash of a tiny window. It's a speed painting of concept art for the Prince of Persia 4. http://www.gametrailers.com/player/33651.html —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.210.104.79 (talk) 20:59, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Hard to tell, but from the context window and brush strokes I say it is Macromedia Studio MX. JessicaThunderbolt 21:24, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

I'd be damned if that wasn't Photoshop. --mboverload@ 21:42, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Yep, you're right; according to the comments section it's "Photoshop with the wacom pad." JessicaThunderbolt 21:52, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Send In the Clowns

Is there any version of "Send In the Clowns" by any particular artist that is considered the definitive recording ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.5.198.130 (talk) 23:50, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

See Send in the Clowns. It was written for Glynis Johns, but has been popularly recorded by many other people (even Krusty the Clown). -- kainaw™ 01:13, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Since it is originally from the Broadway musical A Little Night Music, I'd say that the original cast recording would be considered "definitive". —D. Monack ^talk 02:48, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

Judy Collins' version of it was probably the biggest hit, so that may be the best-known version. Grutness...wha? 23:38, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
