Donal Logue

How is Donal Logue's name pronounced?

(Yes, I thought of putting this at RD/L but I thought someone who watches the RD/E desk would likely know who he is and might know off hand.)

Thank you! Dismas|^(talk) 10:10, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

For those who don't want to watch, Donal says his name in the video. The first names sounds like 'Donald' without the final 'd', and his last name rhymes with 'rogue'. SemanticMantis (talk) 16:05, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Actually I think he pronounces his first name (in that video) with a long 'o' -- as in, rhymes with 'tonal'-- which is how i've heard it pronounced as far back as "Tao of Steve." Subtle difference, maybe, but one can hear the contrast better with how he says 'Donovan.' El duderino ^(abides) 09:51, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

I heard it the same way. Rhyming with tonal. Or as I thought of it, sounding like the first syllable of "donate". Dismas|^(talk) 10:04, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

I guess this is why it's best to hear him say it himself :) SemanticMantis (talk) 14:46, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Another film with Goblins

Resolved

Some years ago, a woman appeared on the UK's version of Dragon's Den, and pitched for funds for a feature film, about which I remember nothing other than it involved goblins and that the Dragons were not convinced into investing. Can anyone remind me of the name of the film... and was it ever made? If so, how was it funded?!? --Dweller (talk) 13:04, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Looks like this one [2]. Edit: and here's the episode [3]. --Viennese Waltz 13:19, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

That's it. Dance of the Goblins was the title. Tyvm --Dweller (talk) 11:05, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

What is this Tintin cover image? (Warning: May be offensive)

(Warning: This material may be offensive. View at your own risk. No sexuality or violence but stereotypical depictions which might be considered as offensive.)

I saw this image on Facebook. The title says "Tintin at Itäkeskus". Now my question is not about the stereotypical depictions but rather the image itself. I think I have read every Tintin album ever officially published and do not remember seeing this image. Is it an official Tintin picture drawn by Hergé or some parody? JIP | Talk 17:18, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Could the title actually mean "Tintin in the Middle East"? As Itäkeskus measn "East centre"? Were you being serious with the warning? DuncanHill (talk) 17:24, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

It's obvious the title is a parody. But the actual image looks professional enough to have actually been drawn by Hergé, I just don't know whether it was, that's what I'm asking. I was semi-serious about the warning, but decided to be better safe than sorry and put it in just in case. JIP | Talk 17:26, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

But, but it shows bare ankles. Clarityfiend (talk) 19:54, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Ah I see. well, I think the picture is from The Crab with the Golden Claws. DuncanHill (talk) 17:31, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

I took the liberty of fixing your wikilink. The cover of that album is different, so it must have been an inside image of the actual story. I haven't read that album in several years, possibly over a decade, so I didn't remember. I'll have to find a copy and read it again. JIP | Talk 17:34, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

I created a redirect to fix the redlink :) I have got that one (in Swedish) but can't lay my hands on it at the moment. By the way, we call them "books" not "albums". DuncanHill (talk) 17:38, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

DuncanHill, that use of album was unfamiliar to me, too, the first time I saw it, but the word is so used in English, at least by some people. See here, for instance (fifth paragraph and elsewhere). Deor (talk) 23:29, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Ah, but I said "we", and Michael Dirda is American and so not one of us. DuncanHill (talk) 23:33, 1 October 2014 (UTC)

Album is actually an interesting word. According etymonline it's never historically held such a meaning, but it feels like a perfectly cromulent extension of meaning to apply the word to "anthology collections of short stories, bound in one volume" http://www.etymonline.com/index.php?allowed_in_frame=0&search=album 75.140.88.172 (talk) 19:17, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

It's page 40 of the BonnierCarlsen Swedish edition. The picture is full-page. Tintin has just noticed something and rushed off, and Haddock is trying to catch up with him. The version on Facebook to which you linked is slightly cropped, and some of the dishdashes are recoloured. DuncanHill (talk) 17:49, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

Here is a link to a scan of the English version. The illustration is on page 40 here as well. - Eron^Talk 17:54, 30 September 2014 (UTC)

If you want to contact this wrestler, you should try to approach through his agent or other representative. - EronTalk 18:40, 30 September 2014 (UTC) This is the third time that this question has been asked. One is above and I removed the other since the first one had already been responded to. If "Tina" continues to ask the same question I would suggest hatting or removing them.
