== Bias ==
"Mamet's dialogue, marked by a cynical, street-smart edge, (or, perhaps it might be noted by anyone who was paying attention, a completely stilted and contrived "edge")"
Oh, sounds totally fair. Removing this. [[User:The holy barnacle|The holy barnacle]]
== Pronunciation ==
Is MAMM-et or MA-MAY?
I used to say /ma'mei/ but changed to /'mamet/. Can't remember where I picked this up from. [[User:Crosbie|Crosbie]]
MAMM-et. [[Val Kilmer]] had fun with this in his commentary on the [[Spartan (film)|Spartan]] DVD. -- [[User:Apathyjunkie|Apathyjunkie]]
It is MAMMet - I know his sister, Lynn Mamet, also a screenwrite, quite well.. and this is her pronounciation.
== POV tag ==
I added it to the criticism section because it's not criticism right now. There's a teensy bit of criticism, but it's refuted without being properly examined. The rest of the section seems to be a valentine to Mamet's theories on acting. Not that it isn't interesting, I'm not saying it doesn't belong, but it's obviously not criticism. If nothing else, I'd like to see a closer examination of the charges of misogyny. Not that I think they're correct, but if they are citable - if not defensible - criticisms, they deserve a lot more examination.--[[User:Anchoress|Anchoress]] 06:02, 29 June 2006 (UTC)
:''but if they are citable...'' The claim has no business in an encyclopedia '''without''' citation.
::I agree. What's your point?--[[User:Anchoress|Anchoress]] 20:36, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
:::That it should be removed. Since you agree, I've done so. G'day.
::::<s>No I don't agree that it should be removed. I agree that the claim has no business in an encyclopedia '''without''' citation.</s>--[[User:Anchoress|Anchoress]] 03:42, 18 July 2006 (UTC) ADDED Oops!! Sorry I thought you had removed the ''pov tag''. Super sorry, should look more carefully.--[[User:Anchoress|Anchoress]] 03:45, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
==References on David Mamet==
In July 2004, Cambridge University Press published The Cambridge Companion to David Mamet, edited by Christopher Bigsby. The book includes essays analyzing Mamet's biography, his impact during various decades, and pieces on most of his work.
==Style of his Work Section==
Biography is too vague of a section... there's a few sections in there. Critical Acclaim, Reception, Dialogue Style, Writing Style... any number of new sections should be introduced.-[[User:BiancaOfHell|BiancaOfHell]] 08:04, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
==Biography==
Biography needs to be fleshed out...[[Marlboro College]] lists him as a famous former professor; can we get some kind of confirmation on this page? [[User:Snyrt]]
:[[Wikipedia:WikiProject Screenwriters]] is trying to gather people to the cause. If you can help out, please do. This is a significant article and I'd rate it's importance as '''High'''.-[[User:BillDeanCarter|BillDeanCarter]] 05:30, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
