Talk:Talking Head

Old text

Is "talking heads" singular or plural? If I would say, "I took that one talking head you gave me and threw it away," then this page should be located at talking head. Also, please see naming conventions.

--I've heard it in the singular, but I don't know how common it is. On the other hand, I've never heard daily rushes in the singular. Changing this (the film convention) to the singular would solve the name conflict the band will present once the new code is uploaded. (all leading caps) Else if this should stay plural we should append (band) to the, uh, band. And actually, I thought that in the plural it referred to the interview footage from not one camera but two: interviewer, interviewee, interviewer, etc. same medium length shot, similar framing.

...

Well so I didn't find any reference to it--singular or plural--at http://us.imdb.com/Glossary/T , though I did find it in the singular at http://www.cybercollege.com/gloss_t.htm . I have yet to wade through all the irrelevant google results, and am out of ideas on how to rephrase the search. --KQ

Duh. I was trying "talking head movie term" and variants, then just "movie term definition," etc. Barking up the wrong tree. Yes, it looks common enough in the singular. You get twice the results looking for it in the plural though. Hm.

...

Actually, no, at least 26 of the 65 returned are about the band still, usually in re: Stop Making Sense, so the term is nearly as common in the singular as it is in the plural (or at least appears to be, based on this google search).

Observation

Observation that the Talking head and Talking head disambiguation pages both exist fulfilling the same purpose.

French link

The link that points to the french wikipedia is totally off, I don't know yet how to correct that. A charitable soul ? Brice LS (talk) 17:34, 15 March 2014 (UTC)
