Texas Chainsaw Massacre (GOCE)
I can help you brush it up, basically rewrite it, but need to have you around and involved. Not interested in working on it, while you are enjoying a wikibreak.
Also, I think it needs more of a reorg (sections moved around), little bit of rewrite (few paras need structure, although many are effective). But, nitpicky "look for a comma or singular poor word choice" style of copyedit is not going to get it done. Pretty decent there and not the major issue for the article. For instance with the themes stuff, I would move WAY back and included right after critical commentary. The sequel and adaption stuff (which btw was hard to follow with remakes and prequels and such, and I know you tried, but it's still hard on the reader, but I know how to fix it), needs to come at the very end.
The only area of content that concerns me is the "deeper" academic criticism (themes). Seems selective or thin or just an inherent stretch really (like "capitalism of Dick and Jane" if you get my drift), but we can probably finesse that with some movement and de-emphasis. Otherwise, you may need to research that part more to make it convincing.
And the name needs to (probably) change. We can keep a geeky note that talks about the correct title and all, but we need to name stuff with what people refer to it most often (wiki policy plus common sense, plus sympathy for readers and searchers.) BTW the DVD on Amazon for the original is selling under "Chainsaw". (Not saying that makes it "correct", saying that is the practiced usage by the public.)
One GOOD thing is that the subject is notable. NICE Google stats! I don't like working on a thing that is obscure. That's a tree in the forest, a pretty star for the Wikipedian, but not helping readers.
Oh...and I have not seen the film, not my sort of thing. (but I would go rent it and subject myself, if I'm going to do a rewrite on the article.)
So we need to talk through that and make sure you are comfortable and trust me. Otherwise, I don't want to do work that gets lost or struggle with the person I'm trying to help.
