Paul Verhoeven, director, in 2016 Total Recall is a 1990 American science-fiction action film directed by Paul Verhoeven (pictured). Based on a 1966 short story by Philip K. Dick, the film stars Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rachel Ticotin, Sharon Stone, Ronny Cox, and Michael Ironside. It tells the story of Douglas Quaid (Schwarzenegger) and the shadow organization that tries to prevent him from recovering memories of his past as a Martian secret agent. Schwarzenegger convinced Carolco Pictures to develop the film with him as the star, after the project had lingered in development hell at multiple studios over sixteen years. The film was one of the most expensive ever made at the time, and became the fifth-highest-grossing film of the year. Reviewers liked its themes of identity and questioning reality, but criticized content perceived as vulgar and violent. The practical special effects were well received, earning the film an Academy Award, and the score by Jerry Goldsmith has been praised as one of his best works. (Full article...)

Picture of the day for August 22, 2024
The sailfin snapper (Symphorichthys spilurus) is a species of marine ray-finned fish in the snapper family, Lutjanidae. It is found in the eastern Indian Ocean and the western Pacific Ocean, at depths between 5 and 60 metres (16 and 197 feet). It lives in areas of sand near to reefs in lagoons and over outer reefs. The sailfin snapper is targeted in mixed-species fisheries throughout its range, being caught predominantly using handlines and bottom trawling. The juveniles appear in the aquarium trade. This sailfin snapper was photographed in Wilhelma, a zoological–botanical garden in Stuttgart, Germany. Photograph credit: H. Zell Recently featured: Marie Curie Hoher Göll Dusky seaside sparrow

The link from Red Cross Movement leads to the article ICRC, which is incorrect, it should lead instead to International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. - Alsandro · T · w:ka: Th · T 00:51, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I Disagree. It should lead to the ICRC - it said the movement "officially began when twelve European nations signed the First Geneva Convention", and the ICRC "has a unique authority based on the international humanitarian law of the Geneva Conventions to protect the victims of international and internal armed conflicts." —Mets501 (talk) 01:14, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

I hear what you're saying, but the blurb is about the founding of the Red Cross movement generally and the overview article is more correct, especially because they are often confused. The ICRC does not run the movement. It's an affiliated organization, not an umbrella. --Dhartung | Talk 16:44, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Exactly, the movement is represented by three independent "branches" not just ICRC. If annyversary item mentions "movement" than the link should lead to the movement article. - Alsandro · T · w:ka: Th · T 18:09, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

2023 rationale

• Avoided the 1985 entry as TFA is of a british airplane.
• Being WP:BOLD with the image, if editors disagree with the choice, please use the skyline of Chennai as a replacement image.
