Webmaster of WetInRed? That's news to me.

I gave that site away to Wam Doktor at least two years ago, but you wouldn't know as he never posts here. He knows video far better than I do, and he's a lot more creative -- he's cleaned up the site really well.

Three months before Steve died, I rebuilt WIR from scratch in PHP/MySQL, and I had to extract all the data from the HTML pages. I had a good clean up of spellings while I had all the data in Excel ready to convert to CSV for database insertion, but I was limited to obvious mistakes without engaging in a PhD in film studies. I also added a lightbulb feature by each clip where anyone who has corrected/additional information about a clip can quickly post the information so that Steve could update the database.

However, you also probably don't realise that I watch very little television and exceptionally few movies. TV and movies isn't my subject area either. Mistakes on the WetInRed site aren't exactly obvious if you've never watched anything. However, I made it relatively easy for anyone who's found a mistake to report it. I don't know how often anyone did/does, but the option is there to point out corrections, and the site takes care of citing the correct clip number for ease of administration.

I don't expect you to know anything about any of the films you list, either -- you may, or may not, but that's completely immaterial. I reported a couple of minor corrections and you launched into one about ancient PCs and microscopic storage space without considering that the corrected film title wasn't even longer! Even if you originally maintained the list on stone tablets, those days have passed now.

Only 2 corrections.....you can easily find hundreds more typos or errors in my 40,000 entries if you look thru them all.

You should know very well...as you are the webmaster for the WETINRED site....just how much time it takes to manage the texts and data.

My Wambank site has very good data, cos I spend many hours on it.

Your WetinRed site is a nice site for storing clips....but has a HUGE error rate for bad texts and unknown or unidentified clips...

So.....if you want to critique my data...thats fine....but if you have so much free time...I think you should focus on cleaning up all the bad data and texts on your WIR site first....

You are right.....there are lots of abbreviated or inadequate texts and many spelling errors in my wamtec database...that is because I first created it back in the 1980's for my personal use only....not as a public document..., using my old program dBaseIII from Ashton Tate (1983)...so it's an old software program I used since the 1980's. In order to keep the database small and to a manageable file size and not too slow to update (cos I only had an IBM PC XT with a 10 meg hard drive in the 1980's...and that DB was 3 megs in size and that was 30% of my hard drive in those days...and it was very slow to update the records)... I made a decision 20 years ago to keep the database fields to one line per record only....cos I knew the db would grow to many thousands of records (currently there are over 40,000 records in the db)....and as I said...I only had a 10 meg hard drive in the 1980's...

So...my db was created like Twitter....i.e. I restricted the description field to 50 characters only...so that is why the grammer seems truncated or the descripted are not always as complete as they should be. So....this db is merely a rough bullet points guide...cos I do not have the time to make it perfect. I do a much better job with my www.thewambank.com site, where I spend much time to correct all the garbage texts that uploaders use when uploading their videos, so we make thewambank.com site have much better texts and data integrity.

Hm, I didn't know about that site either.

Small correction though:

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION DR CRUSHER DUNKED INTO THE OCEAN IN NAVY UNIFORM - TV 1995 MK90 USA

That should be Star Trek: Generations, 1994 feature film.

STAR TREK: THE NEXT GENERATION MARINA TAKES A BATH IN HER STAR TREK OUTFIT MARINA SIRTIS TV 1994 MK60 USA

Episode 170, Genesis, should you care about such things :) I can't be bothered to look up which one had the mud bath in but I think I know the one you mean -- I seem to recall the other woman was her mother, and Worf and Alexander were with them.

Anyideas of commercial movies with wetlook scenes?

In the good old Baywatch it happened well that people fell into the water with clothes on.

Is well some different movies and series in which this happens and I'm thinking

if you have any tips on some recent movies where this happens.

I have an old VHS recording of the deep blue sea and where there were some wetlook.

But it may have been girls in wet suits and guys in plain clothes as well, I do not really remember.

I also like girls, mostly girls in narrower badddräkt or bikini.

Perhaps you have some good tips or ideas?

Sure, there were some side where there were lists of films in which wetlook occur?
