Talk:Sandra Bullock - Wikipedia

Can someone update the info of her being a producer of the George Lopez Show?

I don't see what was wrong with the complete filmography. It's not like it was obscenely long. jaknouse 01:04, 28 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Was she born in 1964 or 1965? Searching google turns up both results -- Chris 73 Talk 14:50, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)

• • It's 1964. Check here. --Fallout boy 08:23, 17 March 2006 (UTC)Reply

The image I uploaded a long time ago (and which has been deleted) was a screencap from Speed. The quality of the recently added photo may be better, but it completely lacks information on its copyright status. Generally, it seems to me the Sandra Bullock article is an example of too many cooks spoiling the broth. <KF> 21:53, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)

In my effort to merge the now-deleted list from the article Gay icon to the Gay icons category, I have added this page to the category. I engaged in this effort as a "human script", adding everyone from the list to the category, bypassing the fact-checking stage. That is what I am relying on you to do. Please check the article Gay icon and make a judgment as to whether this person or group fits the category. By distributing this task from the regular editors of one article to the regular editors of several articles, I believe that the task of fact-checking this information can be expedited. Thank you very much. Philwelch 20:08, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

As Sandra lived in Germany when she was a child - does she speak German?

Yes, she does and it is now in the article. JackO'Lantern 05:57, 9 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

Uhm, I've heard her giving interviews in Germany. Let's say she's able to communicate in German. But she is definitely not "fluent". Khero 21:32, 21 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

I was plain wrong this! Up to now I've only heard her being at a loss for words in German and switching back to English. But now I heard her giving a short speech in German. She was near to perfect. It may have been rehearsed but anyway ... She speaks with a slight Franconian accent. What can I say? I'm sorry. I put this into the article again. Khero 01:32, 4 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

You can find Sandra on YouTube.com giving a speech in German for the Bambi Award. Her German is very good with no accent. She does get two articles (der, die, das) wrong however. She won't be spotted as a non-German. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 218.103.227.108 (talk) 10:51, August 26, 2007 (UTC)

She definitely does have a Frankonian accent when she speaks, and this might be why she would not do the German dubbing of her movies. The accent simply would not match with the characters she is playing. Perhaps it could be mentioned that she is also German, not only American citizen. 194.95.177.101 10:22, 4 September 2007 (UTC)Reply

Sandra Bullock is fluent in German. She lived there for a large portion of her childhood, and was a member of a childrens german opera choir.

Someone keeps adding this category, and I'm pretty sure that Bullock being Albanian (presumably from her father's side) is just a persistant web rumour. There's no first-hand source (i.e. interview/profile or anything that had Bullock's personal involvement) that says anything about this (just one or two third-rate sites that copy each other and say she's "half German half Albanian", which is highly unlikely). I think someone saw something about her father being "Alabama-born" and made a mistake between "Alabama" and "Albania", which is probably how this started.

Also, while in Argentina she was linked to have an affair with football star Rolando Schiavi, famous player of Boca Juniors.

1. It's wide known in Argentina. If it didn't show up in google doesn't mean it's not true...

It happened a long time ago, there isn't any internet source for it...

Well, if it's "widely known" then there must be some sort of source to confirm it. Some kind of web article or something, or a print source. JackO'Lantern 19:55, 31 January 2006 (UTC)Reply

After Hilary Swank won the Oscar for Million-Dollar Baby, producer Albert S Ruddy said that Bullock had turned the lead role because she couldn't choose the director. Bullock immediately responded by saying that she had tried to produce an earlier film of the story herself but couldn't get studios interested in a female boxing film. Only when Clint Eastwood came aboard did the film get made. Source: imdb.com. I've removed the comment. Scott197827 18/2/2006

Why isn't Fire on the Amazon listed in the filmography table? It's very strange, especially because there is an article on Wikipedia where her name is mentioned in connection with the film: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fire_on_the_Amazon

Because it's a "selected" filmography and whoever selected the titles to list just didn't put it in there. It is a small film afterall, hardly one that many people would remember her in. If you think it should be in there, be bold and add it. Dismas|^(talk) 13:06, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Reply

Partly related to this point - shouldn't the infobox be more selective as to her 'notable roles'? Speed, Miss Congeniality, (although perhaps without their sequels??) and Crash is justified for inclusion in the infobox - but The Net, Practical Magic, and The Lake House? Weren't they all critical and commercial disasters, and largely forgotten now??

Re: the question's response, that it is a selective filmography and the editor didn't think it was noteworthy enough for inclusion?? is that sound policy? Shouldn't the encyclopedia article be exhaustive when discussing things such as filmographies?? I had always assumed that 'selected' filmographies were incomplete because the information was not available--Macca7174 22:43, 2 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

Her face did not change a single pixel in the last 15 years. S. B. holds the world record for most frequent botox treatments. If she tried to board an airliner, the security gate would label her a bioweapon!

Hello, coward, or should I call you 195.70.32.136. You forgot to sign your name, just as you forgot that this talk page is about discussing changes to the article, not a space for you to hurl insults. If you have proof that she has received regular botox injections - and not original research based on non-scientific visual examination - then maybe we should add it to the page or maybe we shouldn't. In the mean time, go back to writing about stealth jets.Johann Schlinker 22:51, 19 August 2006 (UTC)Reply

Why's that an insult? Botox keeps the hot hottt. Anonymous 57 00:46, 4 October 2006 (UTC)Reply

An awards section is needed. Anyone wants to volunteer? Her awards can be found here. [1] Charleenmerced ^Talk 04:35, 17 March 2007 (UTC)CharleenmercedReply

I hate to say this, but that's a horrible picture of Sandra Bullock with the article. I say this as a fan, too. I think she's actually very attractive, but the posted photo does not do her justice. Can anyone come up with something better? jaknouse 22:55, 13 July 2007 (UTC)Reply

A couple of my buds and I have come to an agreement that Sandra Bullock is a penis short of being a dude. Looks like a dude, talks like a dude, and often walks like a dude. She ain't attractive in our opinion. Does anyone else on this fine discussion page share the sentiment? —Preceding unsigned comment added by CPRdave (talk • contribs) 21:37, 19 October 2007 (UTC)Reply

Ummm... No. -- Derek Ross | Talk 05:15, 19 November 2007 (UTC)Reply

I think you and your friends might have some problems with your sight! She is absolutly gorgeous!!! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.23.63.209 (talk) 23:03, 22 January 2008 (UTC)Reply
