Black and white movie - cold graves

Hello. This is a real shot in the dark, but I'm looking for a black and white movie (probably late fifties, American) that I saw on TCM years ago. The only thing I remember about this film is one scene, where a female is explaining to the protagonist that on hot nights, she likes to go to the cemetery because the graves are nice and cold to the touch. I would be so happy if anyone can figure this out. 74.69.117.101 (talk) 04:17, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

It's In the Heat of the Night (the movie, not the later TV series). Here's the script: [http://www.script-o-rama.com/movie_scripts/i/in-the-heat-of-the-night-script.html]. Do a find (Control F) on "coolest" to see the relevant part. May we mark this Q resolved ? StuRat (talk) 04:30, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Only trouble is, it's a color film. However, here's the clip.[1] The comment in question comes about 2 minutes in. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 08:24, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe the OP saw it on a B/W TV? I think did on my (only) viewing years ago, but my memory's blurred because I'd previously read the book. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 84.21.143.150 (talk) 12:00, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I remembered it wrong...thanks guys!!! 74.69.117.101 (talk) 01:22, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

OK, I'll mark it resolved. StuRat (talk) 02:00, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Minesweeper record

I just did a record on beginner minesweeper and I noticed there is no such here http://www.minesweeper.info/wiki/World_Record_History. So I wanted to ask you if I could send you a screenshot of it. The record is 0 seconds on beginner!I justed clicked at random and everything was solved. (The mines were placed in a way that one lucky click could solve everything at once). And it was on linux. So ,if I send the screenshot to you, will you put it on the record list? Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 46.177.134.174 (talk) 13:15, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, this is the help page for Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia. We don't have any connection to the minesweeper game, and we don't display video games records. You will have to find some other way to contact them. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:19, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Who's the guy across the street in Simpsons Episode Day of the Jackanapes?

I just watched this (for the first time) on TV. At the end of the Krusty Burger scene, there's a curious pedestrian in the background who stops and watches Bart finish Krusty off as Sideshow Bob laughs. I'm convinced it's a reference to something... but what? Egg Centri c 18:28, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

French films dealing with immigrants

How many French films are there that deals with ethnic diversity, intolerance, and immigrant like "The Class"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.89.40.177 (talk) 19:18, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

136. --Viennese Waltz 19:22, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

73.8% of statisticians agree that numbers plucked out of the air like that are meaningless. :) -- ♬ Jack of Oz ♬ ^{[your turn]} 21:59, 22 May 2012 (UTC) [reply]

Yes indeed. Confirmed by 87 studies.[2] ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 00:27, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Seriously, the issue of diversity/immigration is one that is very frequently dealt with in contemporary French cinema. There is a very large number of films over the last 10 or 15 years that deal with this issue, either directly or indirectly. Would you have a more specific question ? --Xuxl (talk) 09:45, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

La Haine is one of the best known recent examples. --Viennese Waltz 11:52, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Darth Traya a bit like Ayn Rand

I was scrolling through various beliefs about the Force on Wookieepedia a while back and I stumbled upon this article about Darth Traya. After seeing the name Atton Rand I thought of Ayn Rand and sure enough Darth Traya's beliefs reminded me of objectivism; Darth Traya felt that the Force was a detriment to both Sith and Jedi making her a slave to neither side. Heck, she even sounds like an interstellar version of Ayn Rand: "If you seek to aid everyone that suffers in the galaxy, you will only weaken yourself… and weaken them.". Has anyone else like a blogger or writer for a game website noticed this? Has the creator of Darth Traya acknowledged this? --Melab±1 ☎ 22:56, 22 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Atton Rand is actually a different character, only related to Darth Traya in that they were in the same video game and knew the player character. Atton Rand himself doesn't appear to have very objectivist qualities, though I'm not really familiar with the subject matter. It is suggested that his name "Atton" is a reference to "atonement": The character has screwed up big time in his life, but with the players help, can redeem himself.
