[edit]

Old movie in which a man attempts to kill himself many times but fails every time?

[edit]

There was one time when I watched this black comedy movie, in which man thought he was going to die from something mysterious. So, he attempted to kill himself with an accomplice by failed every time in doing so. I started watching in the middle of the movie, where the man and his friend tried to get out of a building and fell down instead. Another scene had the protagonist swim to the middle of the ocean, but then he freaked out and swam to shore again. While he was swimming to shore, he spoke a long internal monologue as a prayer to God and said that he would tithe 50% of his income. When he arrived on shore, his friend tried to kill him but missed. He told his friend that he didn't want to die, but his friend misunderstood him and assumed that he did want to die. So, the film ended with his friend chasing him. 71.79.234.132 (talk) 20:19, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I think its The_End_(1978_film)
But it also sounds similar to I Hired a Contract Killer.
Hope this helps. APL (talk) 20:56, 22 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

MC Ride is not his name

[edit]

Why does people call Stefan Burnett MC Ride? Stefan is a member of the Experimental Hiphop group Death Grips. Stefan has never been refereed to as MC Ride by anyone in the Hiphop group. I sifted through countless interviews and websites and couldnt find anything. Zach and Andy never called him MC Ride nor did anyone hiring the group for performances/concerts. Can anyone find proof that MC Ride is even his stage name? His Wikipedia article should be changed from titled MC Ride to Stefan Burnett (http://en.wiki.x.io/wiki/MC_Ride).

This sort of question would be better on the article talk page. However, if you look through the references at the end of the article, the majority of them (perhaps all of them? I've not checked every single one) refer to him by his stage name, including this from The Guardian, an impeccably reliable source. Tevildo (talk) 00:24, 23 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
