**I was thinking of the Three Stooges page (though they did both shorts and feature films). The Wham-O also appears in "The Incredible Two Headed Transplant". Thanks for your courteous responses.

Thanks Chinaman! Just saw ''Blindfold'' where Guy Stockwell uses an AR-10. Say, a question you can maybe relay to those who know...a while back there was some little box on your site saying would I like an IMFDB news letter. (I think it is on now as well). I ticked 'Yes' and not only is there no newsletter but I've been getting these large ads that overwhelm the site (unlike the small ones in the corner). Is there an IMFDB newsletter or was it a scam to get ads on people's computer?[[User:Foofbun|Foofbun]] ([[User talk:Foofbun|talk]]) 17:35, 23 June 2017 (EDT) | |||
:I didn't sign up for it, due to the concerns you're voicing now, but there IS a newsletter. I access it via the IMFDB.org Facebook page, so I'm not sure how email delivery is supposed to work.

* Hi Funky. Originally I did when I forgot my password (have retired, moved to the coastal country, became a writer, etc). I couldn't get through the thing if you forgot the password, so thought I'd just apply for a new, but similar to the old login. Since then I remembered my password, so you can get rid of the Foofbun II application. Thanks for getting back to me and it's nice to be back at IMFDB. Foofbun II is through...[[User:Foofbun|Foofbun]] ([[User talk:Foofbun|talk]]) 03:10, 18 November 2020 (EST) | |||

Adding pictures to page
When adding pictures to a page, please make sure you put |thumb|none|500px after the filename in order to make the picture a thumbnail. Otherwise the screenshot will not appear correctly in the page. Take a look at the Alphaville for the correct way. Thanks. --Ben41 09:19, 26 August 2010 (UTC)
Revolving rifle
Do you plan on doing a page for Son of Paleface? Because we don't usually make a page for a gun unless there's actually a media page on the site that actually features the weapon. --Ben41 11:16, 4 March 2011 (UTC)
Classic movie
My youth age - British, French and Italian comedies and adventure films 60´ and 70´ years, is I prefer. Jean Marais, Jean-Paul-Belmondo, Niven, Savalas, Bronson, Delon, Ursula Andress, Claudia Cardinale, Ornella Muti, Ugo Tognazzi etc.--Pandolfini 08:17, 10 June 2012 (CDT)
- It's a pleasure to have you on board. I'l be going to Europe on holiday for 4 months from Wednesday. It's always been odd to me when meeting the trendies who boast about seeing a film only because it's French or Italian. My childhood was full of European action films that have all vanished until recently. Here the only European films we get are mostly people acting like spoiled children at dinner parties, we don't see the fine action films like Special Forces getting a cinema release.Foofbun 19:32, 10 June 2012 (CDT)

Foofbun II
Did you apply for a second account? --Funkychinaman (talk) 09:27, 17 November 2020 (EST)
