Imported Trivia

This is the third film in which Lohan has played two different characters, the first being in the remake of The Parent Trap where she played twins, Hallie Parker and Annie James, and the second being in the remake of Freaky Friday where she played a teenager and her mother.
Filming was stalled in January 2007 when Lohan entered rehab, but was resumed in February.
Parts of the movie were filmed in the central California coast town of San Luis Obispo, California, where many locals (including Cal Poly students) were extras. The junior college used in the movie is in fact the local high school, SLO High.
The Fremont Theater, a movie theater shown in the film, is a real theater still in use in San Luis Obispo. It is a popular landmark due to its historic 1940s appearance.
This will be the second film to co-star both Lohan and Brian Geraghty; the first being Bobby. Geraghty also starred with co-star Neal McDonough in The Guardian.
It is the third Lohan film rated R, the first film being Bobby and the second being the film Georgia Rule.

Fair use rationale for Image:I know who killed me xlg.jpg

Image:I know who killed me xlg.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Synopsis

The current synopsis (which is completely unhelpful in explaining the film's set up) is the same as the one here: http://www.moviepooper.com/6/2536whokilledme.html. Just a head's up. Annie D 10:09, 15 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alternate synopsis:

The article doesn't at all touch on the, perhaps less nonsensical view, that Dakota's whole character and experience is just a fantasy Aubrey is making up while being tortured and killed. While falling prey to the "it was all a dream" cliche, it does make many of the crazier parts of the movie (twin-stigmata?) make a whole lot more sense. Anyone agree? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zegota (talk • contribs) 19:39, August 30, 2007 (UTC)

See this. Its a shame it had to be deleted. WAS 4.250 01:43, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

article length

I reinstated a previous edit of the page because the plot summary as of earlier today is far, far too long in comparison to the rest of the article. The article for such a film reads too convoluted anyway. Icarus of old (talk) 21:24, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

foreign countries

"defenders (mostly in foreign countries)"

Is this the english-speaking wikipedia or the american wikipedia? Could it be so hard to write "countries outside the US"? 85.227.226.235 (talk) 21:17, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but I have no idea to what you're referring within the article. I don't really find any USA-bias.Icarus of old (talk) 01:09, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

85.227.226.235 is talking about the Reviews section under Reception - "Critics attacked the film for Lindsay Lohan's acting and for its violence, while defenders (mostly in foreign countries) [emphasis added] interpret it as a truthful film on the darkest aspects of a society, and how people do anything to try to be the best at something". Somno (talk) 04:16, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sex & Nudity

The "Sex & Nudity" section should probably be removed. It serves no real purpose other than the say that Lohan studied for her role; a statement which can easily be made elsewhere. Besides that, nothing there is particularly important. Is it Wikipedia's job to catalogue the sex scenes and violent images in every film? intooblv (talk) 07:25, 22 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

For some of us, that's the best part. For others, any inclusion means an instant pass. It's a pretty hot-button issue so... maybe?

Plot

I reverted the extra, extra long plot summary. It is supposed to be a summary of the plot, not an exact description of every event in the film. The Film Manual of Style recommends a plot summary of 400-700 words, and the plot summary I replaced was 2864 words long. You can expand the summary a bit (it's 511 words long), but a plot summary that's nearly 3000 words long is unnecessary. Regards, Somno (talk) 02:13, 23 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't really get the lines "Dakota and Daniel confront Norquist. Daniel dies in the process, but Dakota manages to cut off Norquist's hand and stab Norquist in his gut and neck with one of his own blades." Dies? I mean, does Daniel have a heart attack? Or does confronting Norquist take so long that Daniel dies of old age? Also, is 'gut' a technical term? And finally, what's with the double use of Norquist in that sentence? Was she going to stab someone else's 'gut'? Dyllard (talk) 09:08, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Blu-Ray release

Does anyone else find the comment about the Blu-Ray release being well-received by fans somewhat odd, considering that the movie itself was a critical flop? - Cubs Fan (talk) 07:48, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It is a bit strange. The reference (an Amazon page) doesn't list it as being #1 for any particular week. Even if it did, that doesn't make it "highly well-received", that would be WP:OR since it doesn't take into account how many were sold or what other Blu-Ray discs were released that week. Snowfire51 (talk) 07:53, 22 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyright infringement/plagiarism

The first three paragraphs of the plot summary are identical to the plot summary at rotten tomatoes ( http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/i_know_who_killed_me/#synopsis ), and the plot summary there ends with a statement that it's copyright of Tristar Pictures. It appears that the plot summary is plagiarized from a copywritten source. I haven't seen the movie, but someone who has should write an unplagiarized summary.

Misspellings

George Bush was spelt wrong so i had to edit that. I knew it was George W. because most of these people were only 2 or 3 when the 1st Bush was in office. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Gordon24fan (talk • contribs) 17:28, 24 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Worst films ever

I'm curious, but could this be a contender for films considered the worst ever? It has to be pretty bad if it broke Razzie records held by *both* Battlefield Earth and Showgirls. - Cubs Fan (talk) 19:33, 25 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am curious why this film has recieved such brickbats. IMHO it is perfectly (in)decent B movie horror which actually manages to avoid the GREAT HORROR CLICHES (especially 'they-think-the-monster-is-dead-but-O-no-he's-returned-in-the-final-scene-and-has-been-signed-up-for-the-sequels-franchise) I'm guessing that people have issues with Lohan which have nothing to do with the film. Or maybe its because there is a striptease scene? Colin4C (talk) 18:09, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

intro change

The intro read "I know who killed me is shit." While this may be true, it's certainly not encyclopedic. Schoop (talk) 18:07, 16 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's not true either IMHO. Colin4C (talk) 09:47, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll have to take your word for it - haven't seen it. Schoop (talk) 16:41, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
