Does anyone know where I can stream the second season of Exes_and_Ohs online? I specially want to the stream the second season. Not the first. Thanks! Neptunekh2 (talk) 00:06, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know of a legitimate source and we won't help you circumvent copyright. Sorry. Astronaut (talk) 11:35, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

ebay? --Daniel 02:32, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the unnecessary signature from the title
The article says the English language publishers are Kodansha Comics USA, but kodansha's website doesn't mention Sailor Moon at all. However, Kodansha's publications are distributed by Random House and their website does list Sailor Moon; although only 3 of 18 volumes are listed and the first is not available until Sept. 13, 2011. You might still be able to get the Tokyopop published volumes from online stores such as Amazon.com or, like Daniel suggests, eBay. Astronaut (talk) 12:06, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Does anyone know how I could get in contact with Ursula Andress who played Honey Ryder in the James Bond called Dr. No?

[edit]

Does anyone know how I could get in contact with Ursula Andress who played Honey Ryder in the James Bond called Dr. No? I'm a huge fan of her, and I'd really like to get in touch. Does anyone know of an address that I could send it to or an email address where I could write to her or her manager? Thanks! Neptunekh2 (talk) 03:34, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well, you could always start by asking Wikipedia's own Dr. Blofeld. I'm sure he'd be please to help you out.--Shirt58 (talk) 04:48, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
IMDb Pro offers contact details. That is very unlikey to be an address, telephone number or personal email, but almost certainly her agent. Astronaut (talk) 11:33, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

music bands influenced by Indian spirituality

[edit]

Mahavishnu Orchestra, Kulashakers, which else? There should be a Wikipedia category for them, at least for those who bore names associated with Indian spirituality. --Dondrodger (talk) 07:54, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Difficult to say that there should be a category, I feel because you've just named the only two I can think of - and two does not a category make! However, if you are willing to accept bands whose music was influenced by Indian traditional music, you could extend it to include The Beatles, Cornershop, Rolling Stones (think Paint it Black), Led Zeppelin, Traffic (Hole in my Shoe). --TammyMoet (talk) 08:09, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
...The Kinks, The Incredible String Band, Kaleidoscope, Quintessence .... the list goes on. See also Raga rock. Ghmyrtle (talk) 09:46, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
"Two does not a category make", Tammy? Think again. Beethoven wrote exactly one opera, Fidelio, and he died in 1827, so there ain't gonna be any more Beethoven operas - yet we have Category:Operas [sic] by Ludwig van Beethoven, which contains that solitary entry. There are many, many similar examples. But I agree with your point - categories should have to justify their existence by demonstrating at least a minimum number of possible entries, and that minimum number should generally be somewhere north of 2. -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 11:37, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Oddly enough, the category "Sports publications written by Beethoven" has the identical content as the category "Symphonies written by Mike Lupica". ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots23:40, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
That is an odd comment, Bugs. Even for you.  :) -- Jack of Oz [your turn] 03:07, 3 July 2011 (UTC) [reply]
Merely an illustration of the mathematical concept of "the empty set". ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots08:40, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

springsteen canned

[edit]

hi, Anyone know anything about an album collection on vinyl by the boss, released in a blue can ( tin ) limited edition. around 1985-88 possibly? I can not find ref. to it anywhere. - thanks--188.220.186.230 (talk) 11:49, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Well the dates would fit the five-record Live 75 - 85 box set, and my guess is you're looking at a special edition only released in certain parts of the world. I can't find it on Amazon though. --TammyMoet (talk) 18:27, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It might also have been the UK-only The Born In The U.S.A. 12" Single Collection (four 12" singles/EPs, one 7" single, and a poster, released in 1985), but I've not been able to find anything released in a metal box, either. Tevildo (talk) 01:16, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Wii U

[edit]

Is it true that the Wii U is for adult gamer and not for kids? It also true that all Wii U games will be rated M or AO in the USA and D or Z in Japan?69.131.127.163 (talk) 17:58, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

While I haven't got any references to confirm (do I really need any?), I will venture to say no. It would be a terrible and insane business decision to switch a family-friendly company to adults only. I don't see foresee Mario out killing hookers in his next adventure. Aaronite (talk) 20:39, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
It is certainly vandalism - I read only a week or two ago about a persistant vandal who seems obsessed with editing Nintendo-related articles so they say the games are full of adult content. Astronaut (talk) 11:10, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

[edit]

In Japan The Legend of Zelda:Twilight Princess was rated B 12 and up because of crime. What crime was it that cause the game to be rated B? If there was no crime in this game it would be rated A all ages. What about Spider-Man 2 the video game which have bad guy doing crime and it was Rated A all ages in Japan? Do the player need to be one to do crime in order for the have crime on the rating? Link is a hero and he would never do a crime.69.131.127.163 (talk) 18:06, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Do Troy_McLure and Lionel Hutz still appear in the Simpsons comics? Neptunekh2 (talk) 20:14, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

According to the article Lionel Hutz, to which you linked, he is (in universe) dead. Do they do ghosts on The Simpsons? I've never seen the show. Bielle (talk) 20:31, 2 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Where does it say that in the article? It mentions Hartman's death, but I can only see that it says McClure and Hutz were "retired" - facts that have a link to a 2004 Matt Groening radio interview ([1] no transcript, so you may want to listen to it yourself if you want further details). It does note on the section Lionel Hutz#Retirement that the character is sometimes seen in clip shows, flashbacks, and crowd scenes. -- — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.31.222.225 (talk) 02:55, 3 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
According to Phil Hartman#Response and legacy, "Rather than substituting another voice actor, the writers of The Simpsons retired Hartman's characters" (referenced by the same link provided by 174.31 above). The retired characters included Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz. The same is mentioned in both character's articles. I only watch the TV show, so I don't know if that "retirement" extends to non-speaking appearences or non-TV appearences; however, the Lionel Hutz article specifically says "Hutz and McClure still appear in Simpsons Comics" (though that is unreferenced).
