Image:Slackers.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 05:53, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"This movie also has a lot of masturbation scenes." There's two masturbation scenes I recall in this movie. One with Laura Prepon and kind of half of one where Jason Schwartzman prepares to masturbate with a hairdoll, but that hasn't exactly shown. So should it be taken out?

Well, how many masturbation scenes does a normal movie have? Zero? So this movie has one and a half scenes. That means that Slackers has infinity times as many masturbation scenes as the average building. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.210.249.8 (talk) 15:25, 3 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Honestly, negative reviews (11% on Rotten Tomatoes) and being a film that cost $11 million while bringing in half means not a whole lot of folks care. I rewrote the plot area, that's pretty much all there is to do. I think the quote added in reception is a fair enough assessment of it. 163.150.23.230 (talk) 21:00, 7 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The whole synopsis part seems to be taken verbatim with oh-so-minor changes from Rotten Tomatoes. --Ulkomaalainen (talk) 11:03, 19 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
