Reference this, reference that.
That is why Wikipedia does not work – if you don’t have some sort of online reference, you’re screwed. I actually got to meet Angie Sage – brilliant, I can tell you, as per the last post – but when I try to get Wikipedia fixed to show that really, it’s not animated…
Bingo, it’s been undone. And why? Need a goddamn fucking reference. [/swearing]
The problem lies in how the media works. When one person says something and is interpreted wrong, it just snowballs. Someone made some off-hand comment of how they’re working on the animation and all of the sudden, the movie is labelled as animation everywhere. And unless Angie were to post something on her website (which, for some reason, I doubt she’s allowed to) it’ll end up staying that way.
When I made my edit to Wikipedia, I changed the section
It was announced on July 17, 2009 that the movie will be animated, with David Frankel as director and Rob Lieber to adapt ”Magyk”.
to
It was announced July 17, 2009 that [[David Frankel]] will direct and Rob Lieber will be adapting ”Magyk”.
Which leaves it vague – I don’t say that it’s live action, because I don’t have a source. But at the same time, I take out the part about it being animated, because really, it isn’t!!! But Legolas2186 (nice original name, btw) changed it right back. I’d like to note here that he seems to claim ownership over the article.
Which, I might add, is another thing that ticks me off. Half the edits on Wikipedia seem to get rolled back to the head hancho’s last edit. But that’s for another time.
Simply put, references annoy me. Because really, it’s impossible to get them for everything.
