"I hate with a passion to see a perfectly good term lost because it was co-opted by one stupid parody."

Calling Epic Movie a "parody" is... nah, too easy :)

[up][up]OK, the description really does fit Epic Movie, it just means we've got a few bad examples. Renaming to Epic Movie might help filter them out, actually.

So many of these have judgmental (either positive or negative) connotations: "Overblown" and "Fantastic" in particular. At least "Fantastic," like "Epic" has a meaning that can apply whether or not the movie is good, but not all epics are fantasies.

Also, "duplicate; deleted" is a horrible name for a trope.

I'll point out that we also have BGM.

Rhymes with "Protracted."

It seems that we have a clear winner. If it's still ahead on Monday, we can call this.

^^ Which should be swapped with its redirect.

[up]Agreed. Even though it's a standard term, and "everyone knows what it means," Background Music should be the main page.

[up][up] Oh, uh, I don't actually know how to do that. Do I just switch the text between the two pages, change the index wicks, and have a mod move the discussion?

I'd say so, yes.

Lot of wicks will need to be checked and corrected; I'm going to lock, then unlock the thread so that we can keep track of what's been done and what needs to be done here, but the tag on the wiki page will go away.

Epic Movie should be a redirect for Seltzer And Friedberg.

EDIT: And it already is. In that case, Epic Movie without a namespace should be redirected to the trope page.

Done in anticipation of a redirect swap; wicks to Epic Movie cleaned up.

Added reference to Film.Epic Movie due to redirect (and in anticipation of page swap).

Hell with dancing around the issue.

Redirect-swapped. Page is now at Epic Movie.

Help me clean up the wicks.

Bump to note that I'm done cleaning out all the BFM wicks that I can (there's one left on Prince of Persia, which is locked, and I've posted over in the appropriate thread so that it can be nuked).

Stick a fork in this thread - it's done.
