Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One

Yesterday, the title of the 8th Mission Impossible was revealed (Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning). Since it's not called Dead Reckoning Part Two, I think the article should be renamed to Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning and there could be a part explaining that it was marketed as "part 1" but the posters actually only read "Dead Reckoning". 42.113.60.5 (talk) 11:06, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The poster shown in the article includes the "Part One" part. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 13:55, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to this, the second movie had the subtitle "Dead Reckoning Part Two", but that was dropped. 12.116.29.106 (talk) 18:09, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Naming a chord with just a root and 5th

People often call such a chord "C5". But C(omit3) is a more logical name of it. Why is "C5" the standard name?? Georgia guy (talk) 16:55, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Coming from decades of playing guitar, I call it a power chord. When I have to show the chord to someone else, I use "no 3" and sometimes they say they call it a "5". I assume it is because you have the root, 3, and 5 for a standard chord. I say "no 3" to mean "don't include 3." They say "5" to mean "only use 5." But, if I am only talking to guitar players, I say "power" and they know exactly what I mean. 12.116.29.106 (talk) 18:13, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I think the most obvious reason is that C5 is a lot shorter than C(omit3), and therefore easier to read. AndrewWTaylor (talk) 18:58, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It is also translingual.  --Lambiam 23:43, 12 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Henry Purcell would have understood, he often used that sound. I call it 'empty fifths.' MinorProphet (talk) 19:28, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Our article La cathédrale engloutie calls them "open fifths", and the article Te Deum (Bruckner) calls a motive using these chords an "open-fifths motive".  --Lambiam 23:59, 13 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
