Q: Icon on stackexchange.com site stats is not yet updated

rolflIt's been a number of hours now, so it's not caching, but, on the main stackexchange.com sites page the icon for Movies&TV is a sort of half-mix of new and beta design: It's hard to believe that's a victim of caching.... but perhaps it is. Still, it should be brought to someone's attention.

Q: Movies Meta Bot looks same as Movie reel

Ankit SharmaMovies Meta Bot looks too much similar to Movie reel and they share the same dp. Can't we have her/his new name and DP , like a popcorn theme picture and some funky name? Already Raised this concern before.

 
10:06 AM
@ChristianRau Well, I don't like Lucas & Spielberg retconning their films either. And TBH I've been annoyed with Scott who (IMO, of course) hasn't made a decent flick in 24 years. But it's his film.
 
@Walt Well, great seems debatable, but decent? I'd go with 1492, Gladiator, Black Hawk Down, Kingdom of Heaven, Robin Hood, Prometheus, Exodus, at least. But to each his own.
 
In all honesty, I haven't seen a few of those.
 
Me too
 
And as a big fan of people-alone-to-survive-in-hostile-evironment stuff I'm also looking forward to The Martian veeery much, no matter who directs it!
 
And never got to know why Prometheus so hyped.
 
10:12 AM
Didn't feel the need to watch everything in his oeuvre once it became clear the guy lost his touch
 
@AnkitSharma It isn't really hyped, there were many people disappointed by it (maybe because it was hyped beforehand too much). Sure, it wasn't the masterpiece everyone expected, but decent enough for me.
 
After alien first film, i never much liked the sequel and AVP looks good to me. but i never expected anything from prometheus
Still doesn't liked it.
 
@AnkitSharma You're saying you didn't like the Alien sequels but you liked AVP? Flagged as offensive!
 
Think I'm one of the few that liked Alien 3
 
@Walt Oh, I liked it, too. Never understood why people bitched that so much. In fact I find it quite interesting that all the 4 primary Alien movies exhibit so vastly different styles and genres.
 
10:16 AM
@ChristianRau ...Deja vu, I think we've been over this at some point ;)
 
@ChristianRau yup i liked AVP more then alien 2,3,4....... Because it had something fresh
Aliens fight with predeator looks intresting enough to me
But AVP2 was too much to handle
 
@MovieReel Er, should we alert the authorities? :O
 
^wat?
 
@AnkitSharma Yeah, another guy from a different franchise. But well, the first AvP wasn't too bad, even if still a pale shadow compared to the Alien and Predator movies, but to each his own.
 
So how many of the 17 are your fave?
http://meta.movies.stackexchange.com/questions/1525/identify-image-in-the-top-bar
 
10:23 AM
Well, definitely not the phone booth and that anime guy.
 
I've seen a tiny bit of Dr Who & Star Trek, but was never a fan. Never sat through Dragonball. Saw the rest, so trying to tally
...OK, of the rest, I never liked two of them. And Sharknado isn't one. :)
 
I like most of the stuff I watch, so I guess I like all of those 15 I saw. Well, when thinking about it I'm not sure I ever saw Gone with the Wind completely in full.
Though, if that is to be for the '89 Batman, my recent experiences have drastically changed my liking of that.
 
Yeah, I guess when you look back, you can see why 'campy' wasn't exactly the right way to go in the first one. It just got worse, culminating in B&R of course
 
Oh it was like a childhood memory shattering. I loved the first Burton movie and rewatched it after like 7 years after I had seen Nolan's and it was an utter disaster, something died inside of me that day. ;-(
Though, in retrospect it still has it's values, it was more the immediate effect that made it look like total crap.
 
Bummer. I can maintain a nostalgia bubble with most of the things I liked once, and don't mind rewatching them even if they aged horribly
And Burton has done worse :P
 
10:34 AM
@Walt Sure, never was a big fan of him, especially when the gothic stuff gets the better of him.
 
Some claim Batman Returns is better than the 1st in that respect (I'm not so sure). What do you think?
 
Oh, that one I never liked, I even found Batman Forever better than that. But it also has to be said that I haven't seen Batman Returns for ages and this opinion stems from a very long time ago. Maybe I should give it a second try.
 
@Walt there is walter white and its enough for me
And batman
 
@AnkitSharma Yup. I only got around to BB in the last couple of months and glad I did.

I stil feel red/orange is too dark
 
@ChristianRau Could've swore there was one originally. I think a few got nixed
 
And i miss Oscars
 
10:39 AM
@Walt No, I only proposed it, but they can't do everything people proposed.
 
Hell, there's no Eraserhead Baby picture either. Can't please everyone. :P
 
@AnkitSharma I think the film reels work well, too. If there's anything I miss, it'd probably be this grainy effect on the logo text and pocorn bag (the one in the lower right).
@Walt Yeah, I never cared so much what specific pictures they choose, since the existing ones already were a broad spectrum. And the ones they took they really did very well.
And at least they used the clapperboard for the newsletter ad.
 
My only critique is that movies outweigh shows 12-5
But it's fair, I guess, they've been around longer
 
@Walt I'd argue that's a good thing (but may contradict official site conensus thereby).

Q: BBC4 financial crash mockumentary?

Matt BrennanI recall watching around 2006 a mockumentary (of sorts) portraying a scenario for a financial crash that, in hindsight, played out quite like the events of 2008/2009. I believe it aired on BBC4 (or possibly Channel 4). Have I simply misremembered a more recent documentary?

 
10:48 AM
TV seems to be kicking cinema's ass in recent years in quantity, quality & interest. But that's a massive generalization, of course
 
The title bar works particularly well with mouse wheel scrolling, since the first discrete wheel movement gives you just the row of images (I'd surmise that's intentional).
 
@Walt i think because tv get more time for character development and they face less expectations as compare to movies
And this days there budgets are high too
 
Oh, there are various reasons:

Q: Are more movie stars acting in TV shows nowadays (and if so, why)?

Q: When/Why did American television change from primarily episodic to primarily serialized?

Michael EdenfieldMy recollection of the prime-time television I watched growing up -- the 70s and 80s plus whatever were on at the time -- are almost invariably of episodic television. At the end of each episode, everything that had happened was completely and forgotten, and the show effectively "reset" for the n...

Q: 80's movie about two young runaways killed in the end

pati80's adventure/drama movie about two young guys who went to be on the road (after they commited a crime?) and hide in the countryside. I remember the last scene where they are galloping on horses barechested approaching police and are shot by them. The name of one guy was Skitty, I guess.

@ChristianRau So much for banning ID before the graduation, eh? ;D
 
Atleast today's ID are much better then yesterdays
 
@atticae I told you it's impossible.
@AnkitSharma Oh are they? Well, nevermind.
 
@ChristianRau Did you have backroom infos when it would launch? Or why were you so sure?
 
@atticae Because I was just optimistic that they don't take another month for finishing the design, and realistic that you can't push such a major discussion through in under 1-2 weeks, let alone tally the consequences in under a month.
 
12:13 PM
@ChristianRau Seeing how long it took to start the design process in the first place, I thought it was optimistic to think that it wouldn't take another month. ;)
Glad I was wrong.
 
@atticae Well, once the design starts and the first idea is posted it doesn't really take so long (judging from other previous sites). I guess ExpressionEngine® Answers was a bit of a special case because it spanned the chistmas/newyear holidays.
@atticae "I thought it was optimistic to think that it wouldn't take another month." - Which by the way is exactly what I said (or intended to say at least) anyway. ;-)

I'm also Guru badge recipient number 21. Winner, winner, chicken dinner!
 
@MattD It can't be completely removed, that's indeed a feature of your "untrusted user" status.
Wait, we get Guru badged now? Why don't I have one, I thought I had computed that I should get one long ago.
Ah, scratch that, I thought you were talking about Generalist, that's the one we can't get for a long time (for whatever unreasonable reason, though).
 
@ChristianRau You need an accepted answer with a score of 40 or higher.
Ah, gotcha.
 
Are you saying that X-rating answer went over 40? Good lord!
 
Yep. Currently sitting at 42. It's my best answer so far.
Correction, 41. 42 was optimistic, for it is the answer to life, the universe, and everything.
 
@MattD You mean "highest voted", right? ;-) Haha, just kidding, it's a good answer.
 
2:48 PM
@ChristianRau True, highest voted is likely more apt as there may be another answer that's really my "best", but I'm rather proud of that answer. Surprised no one else managed to get in there before me. Got really lucky.
It's the kind of answer that will likely continue to pay dividends going forward.

How is a site like this one allowed? w3facility.org/question/planet-starts-to-mimic-earth
 
@JohnP There have been tons of those pages for SO. I think as long as they link to the original site and question (as this one does), it's ok.
This might help (haven't read it comletely yet): blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/08/defending-attribution-required
Basically you have to follow those rules if you copy content from the site:
Visually indicate that the content is from Stack Overflow, Meta Stack Overflow, Server Fault, or Super User in some way. It doesn’t have to be obnoxious; a discreet text blurb is fine.
Hyperlink directly to the original question on the source site (e.g., http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12345)
Show the author names for every question and answer
Hyperlink each author name directly back to their user profile page on the source site (e.g., http://stackoverflow.com/users/12345/username)
As far as I can tell they do that. If you think they are shady, you can take it to meta.SE
Hm, actually I think they violate the rule about linking the author name back DIRECTLY to the source site. They link to a profile site of their own, where the SE profile is then linked. Sounds like they are in violation.
 
They are ok, they have a couple links back. They don't entirely follow the rules, but ::shrug::
Was looking for an answer, closest I can find is en.memory-alpha.org/wiki/Shore_Leave_%28episode%29
