The Screening Room

2:32 AM

@MikeEdenfield Believe it or not, it was quite interesting and enjoyable.

As I expected, Fant4stic was definitely better than the internet wants it to be.

Sure, a few of the dialogues might have been a bit stilted at times, The Thing looked a bit lame (especially a pity since I like ~~Billy Eliot~~ Jamie Bell quite a bit) and maybe there wasn't so much action in it. But seriously, it was an interesting story with a nice atmosphere. If you don't expect a huge MCU spectacle, it was quite fine. Not a masterpiece, but the internet is expectedly exaggerating, as always.

@AnkitSharma What trilgoy?

@steelerfan By the way, don't use genre tags for questions about individual movies' stories, only for questions about the intricacies of the horror genre in general. You have enough reputation to create a dracula-2000 tag.

@TomCody Never mind...you did it for me. Thanks :)

Q: movie about masked vigilante called "Scarecrow"

When I was in grammar school around 1980 they showed us a movie about a masked man similar to Zorro. I believed it opened with a scene in which he and another man fled on horseback while a song was sung in which the word "scarecrow" was repeated. I understood this to be the name of the masked her...

Q: What is the name of this movie about cancer?

It starts off with the main teen boy character jogging to his girlfriends work. Later he finds out he has cancer. He lives with his father who I think is an alcoholic. They do not speak much. I think his older sister moves in to help out. He does not die at the end.

@Movie Reel I can't take any more questions about meth today.

6:56 AM

@MovieReel I really, really want to downvote this one... They clearly didn't do a single Google search... I mean, I get that the new logo is ugly... but that shouldn't stop you from using Google.

Ankit Sharma

@Catija so i am not the alone to dislike the logo

Anyways there was a old close reason for it "too localize" but SE took it down

Catija

@AnkitSharma I've heard about it but I'm not sure I understand what it meant... I thought it was something along the lines of "no one else would ever benefit from this question"... but that was a guess. I don't really think it's a bad question (if there weren't dozens of sites telling you what it is) but it has absolutely zero research done.

@AnkitSharma It looks like it's designed to appeal to 6-year-olds now.

steelerfan

@Catija Glad you answered the prop meth question, it is kind of amusing having all these meth questions :).....gotta love Breaking Bad!

Catija

7:13 AM

@steelerfan :D I've seen a few episodes, not much... but I like rock candy... and that question is the sort of question that goes really popular, so if it starts getting a lot of views from Google results, (which is why I retitled and retagged it), it could end up on the Hot Network Questions list.

I mean, look at it... the two questions he asked were posted at almost the same time and one has 4 views and the other has 18... :P

steelerfan

@Catija I have seen maybe 20 minutes of an episode, so I am not familiar with the show, except I know meth is involved. You are so right, they are popular. Dang, now I am craving rock candy:)

@Catija ACTUAL rock candy, there was no hidden meaning in my remark :)

Ankit Sharma

@Catija @steelerfan you both are missing the fun. That show deserve to be loved.

@Catija still we are not in ads

Mike Edenfield

2:17 PM

@TomCody I enjoyed the first 1/2, maybe 2/3. Once the team got their powers, I felt like the rest of the movie was just a waste, with a rushed, not-well-thought-out climax crammed into the last 15 minutes.

they set up a really good movie then delivered none of it.

Dr R Dizzle

2:31 PM

I agree with @MikeEdenfield. There were some really nice ideas and promising set up in the first half that is 100% discarded in the second. You can literally see the studio meddling. I feel sorry for Joshua Trank, the director.

Mike Edenfield

I think I was more disappointed because the movie's trailer seemed to hint at things that never ended up happening. Not just a few lines of dialogue here or there, but major events. Like there was a scene in the trailer that seemed to show Reed Richards cooperating with the Army and leading his team on a mission for them.

Tom Cody

Well, sure. That's what I'm saying too. It might not have been as fleshed-out as it could have been (maybe by just making it half an hour longer). But I simply don't think it's that desaster that the internet, in it's well-known penchant for hyperbole, makes of it.

Mike Edenfield

to be honest, I think the fact that it started out well and then fell totally apart makes it more of a disaster than a movie that was consistently mediocre.

it got my hopes up and then dash them against the rocks of broken dreams and poorly-directed third acts.

Tom Cody

2:49 PM

I just don't think the last part was that bad, it was just a bit short. But who am I to argue that anyway, I already liked the previous Fantastic Four series, as well a the Amazing Spider-Man series and have fond childhood memories of the Super Mario Bros. movie.

And I have long been deaf upto averted to all the internet fan fuss crap that talks things so much down for stuff noone gives a damn about. But alas, so is the internet and has always been.

(^ The above remarks are a general statement and not driected at any chatters in this room, though, whose opinions I respect and apreciate.)

Dr R Dizzle

@MikeEdenfield 40 minutes of reshoots do that to a movie.

@TomCody It was just short, but that in itself led to poor setup, awful pacing, strange character choices and no pay off during the finale. It's a great example of how a film lacking in one area can impact other areas hugely.

Mike Edenfield

@TomCody I liked the old FF #1. Not a huge fan of Silver Surfer. I also don't think that Fant4stic was as bad as people say.. I think it was better than Silver Surfer, or Elektra, or either Ghost Rider

but it's not a good movie.

I definitely have no interest in seeing that same team of people try to do a sequel

Tom Cody

@MikeEdenfield Well, the producers would be deaf and blind if they'd consider that really.

Mike Edenfield

I've heard good things about Deadpool, including that it would likely get F4-2's spot if it does well.

Tom Cody

Though, if anything was fine it was the team IMHO (even if The Thing looked a bit lame, but well, it's not the most interesting character to begin with anyway).

Mike Edenfield

3:02 PM

REALLY hoping an R-Rated superhero movie works. The TV-ME Daredevil on Netflix was really well done.

my complaints about the team were mostly from a mythology standpoint. Someone who's not a big F4 fan wouldn't even notice.

but they claimed that the suits (which Reed didn't even make) controlled their powers. Like, you can see a few times where Johnny flames on/off by fiddling with his wrists.

Tom Cody

Meh, I'm not too sure about that Deadpool thing. I know the comics people love him, but I think one can do too much irony and self-reference and sarcasm in a single character/movie.

But well, the trailer does look nice indeed.

Mike Edenfield

It depends on how heavily 4th-wall he goes.

Tom Cody

@MikeEdenfield Granted, the only times I ever got in contact with comics was Watchmen and a few seminal Batman works.

Dr R Dizzle

3:18 PM

@MikeEdenfield Deadpool 2 and Fantastic Four 2 both have confirmed release dates. Fox are claiming that they are still pressing ahead with both, even after Fantastic Four flopped.

Ankit Sharma

3:46 PM

@TomCody as suspected by us, movies and TV was not in the hot question image ad list.

Tom Cody

@AnkitSharma Great, not that it would surprise me after what else I've experienced (first and foremost with the Community Promotion Ads and the graduation swag, of course).

Ankit Sharma

And we missed the ad spot when we had few hot network question

I hope we will maintain hot question spot till we get a image

Tom Cody

Not to think about all the poor sites that are part of the design-less graduation right now. I mean it's great for them that they graduate and it's a good idea to decouple that from the design. But one has to wonder if that doesn't remove the remaining bit of motivation to drive site design forward.

@AnkitSharma Well, they come and go anyway. But sure, with all those short Breaking Bad questions that was good HNQ bait (and better than an ID HNQ anyway).

Ankit Sharma

That will give me more time to earn rep for anime n manga.se

As I am quite less active there

And lots to earn, maybe need to start fee anime , fullmetal alchemist maybe

Tom Cody

In that way, coupling the higher reputation thresholds to the design, while baseless in itself, might be a good idea to at least keep a bit of motivation for SE to further the site designs.

Ankit Sharma

3:54 PM

Anyways its quite irritating to chat from mobile, so catch u later

Hopefully I will get my WiFi broadband setup at house this week

Tom Cody

Meh, I always wanted to get around trying at least a few pearls of Anime, since I have pretty much absolutely no background there but it just never really attracted me at all. I watched Akira, Ghost in the Shell and Princess Mononoke once and liked them, but that's about it. Maybe I'll try that Cowboy Bebop thing some day, seeing that it's so famous and has only a few episodes and doesn't seem to have thousand of confusing spin-offs.

Mike Edenfield

isn't Cowboy Bebop mostly famous for not being about a Cowboy named Bebop?

Catija

@MikeEdenfield I've listened to the Yoko Kano sound track more than I've watched the show. It's great music.

MattD

Cowboy Bebop is absolutely worth checking out. Excellent story, and it's not a very long series. Could easily be binged in a single weekend.

Catija

By the way, did anyone notice that my prediction about the blue meth question was correct? It's up at over 500 views right now.

Tom Cody

4:01 PM

@Catija Sure.

MattD

I didn't see what your prediction was, so I'll just say yes.

steelerfan

@Catija Yes, I saw that. I was going to comment earlier, but have been busy in NFL chat due to Tom Brady suspension being over turned for deflate gate....quite the controversy! I loved your question though.

Ankit Sharma

@TomCody go for death note and code geass

Catija

@TomCody I do have to say... calling anything done by Miyazaki "anime" isn't really something I agree with. His art style is actually much more similar to American animation style, just happens to be that he's Japanese and his topics are often set around Japanese concepts.

@steelerfan My question? Meaning my only question? The one about The Matrix?

Ankit Sharma

@Catija I like anime not because of there style but different content

Tom Cody

4:05 PM

@Catija Meh, maybe.

Ankit Sharma

There stories are more mature then American one

Death note and code geass are gema for me

Shorter and with good ending

Tom Cody

@AnkitSharma Well, maybe if you compare them to other animated stuff. But why compare it thereto instead of to all the range of movies?

Catija

@AnkitSharma Have we been watching the same anime? Because most anime is: fight scene, fight scene, background episode, fight scene, fight scene, filler episode...

Ankit Sharma

That's why I watch both and enjoy :D

Catija

Though, admittedly, I watch too much Bleach.

Tom Cody

4:08 PM

It's similar to that Pixar hype for me. Great stories and characters, sure, but non-animated movies have that already, too.

Ankit Sharma

@Catija only go for shorter anime.....the longer they are worse they become

Naruto was a good start but then filler ruined it........dragon ball also sucks because of longer fights and filler arcs

But there are good ones........many good ones

Catija

@AnkitSharma Yes, because watching two people try to fall in love for 23 episodes is just as fun. :P

Tom Cody

@Catija Oh, you also have only a single question. Didn't notice that before. But well, you're way ahead of Walt at least.

MattD

She's into lots of shows on HGTV and Food Network.

Catija

@AnkitSharma I don't think you're the only one... are you? Most people don't talk about their home life, so I'm not actually sure.

Ankit Sharma

Food network is better then show like One tree hill, American housewives

Or Indian family dramas

@Catija yeah I know......just mentioned as joke

MattD

4:18 PM

Yeah, but the problem is a lot of their shows are all the same but with a different theme.

HGTV is basically, "Watch rich people decide between three houses in this location."

Food Network is alright, but even then you can only watch so many cooking competitions before you just don't care.

Ankit Sharma

Hehehehe

Tom Cody

@MattD Or get too hungry to bear it anymore.

MattD

I tried to get her to watch Breaking Bad. She found Walt and Jesse to be horrible people after the first episode and thus has no desire to continue watching it.

Catija

@AnkitSharma Or Korean dramas... Wow, those are insane.

Ankit Sharma

I can tolerate food network till I get good food to eat

Never tried korean

MattD

I was like yeah, you're not supposed to like Walt or even Jesse, that's the point and that's what makes it an engrossing, engaging show.

MattD

We do watch Orange is the New Black. Also got her to give Daredevil a try and she likes it well enough.

Ankit Sharma

@MattD That's how I felt about GoT after the first two episodes... I couldn't deal with them doing bad stuff to undeserving people/animals... and then I kept watching anyway and now I like it.

MattD

@Catija GoT is something I'll have to work her into.

But yeah, I'm used to coming home and plopping down to Cartoon Network and Adult Swim after work, so those days are likely done, at least to the level I'm used to.

Catija

Catija

No. She's a youth pastor so that's a no-no.

Tom Cody

@MattD But Flash is also decidedly much more "comicky" than, say, Daredevil or even Arrow.

Catija

@MattD Meh. It was bad but it wasn't a kid or a giant dog, so it didn't hurt as bad.

MattD

That's why I've been at my parent's all week. She moved all her stuff in last weekend.

Catija

@MattD Yeah, I figured that might be the case but... that was never one of the "rules" I liked much and I know a lot of people who don't keep it.

MattD

@Catija Well she made it very clear that certain...things, would not occur outside of marriage, but she further stated it wasn't because she was against them, but that she didn't want to have to lie to the kids in the youth group. That's not really something you can refute, and me backing out because of that would have made me the asshole.

dialogue the-hunger-games

Mike Edenfield

@MovieReel Why would you think Netflix would announce the fact that they're losing a ton of highly popular movies? They're gonna bury that news as deep as they can.

Catija

@MovieReel I sincerely don't really think this is on-topic... It's skirting the "don't ask about where to get media" rule.

Ankit Sharma

4:34 PM

Close it

Mike Edenfield

they're not really asking where to get the movie. they know where to get the movie.

Tom Cody

@Catija Well, it's about time the community starts close-voting that thing. So just help yourself. ;-)

Catija

@AnkitSharma But I don't know if it's actually fitting the rule.

Mike Edenfield

it's more a question about the business practices related to (legal) online movie viewing. Not sure where that fits.

but as it's also not speculative, not asking for opinion, and not asking anything illegal, probably no harm in letting it stay?

Tom Cody

It's a support request for a third party site, which just happens to have a relation to the general topic of mvoies, though.

Mike Edenfield

@TomCody it's more of a "news" question. "Is this news I just read about true?"

@MikeEdenfield If that's the case (which might make it on-topic), the author did his best to hide that aspect, though.

Mike Edenfield

Completely mis-tagged, though.

Catija

@MikeEdenfield That's off-topic, too, though...

Tom Cody

@Catija It, ahem, depends, I guess, maybe...

Which brings us back to good old "current events", I guess.

Catija

4:38 PM

@TomCody I know... I know...

I think the reason it didn't get CVed is that no one could decide what reason to use on their VTC.

Anyway, whether a film is going to be on Netflix or not is not about the film itself, it's about Netflix, which isn't a topic we cover here.

Tom Cody

@Catija That might be the case. Admittedly the community isn't entirely decided about those Netflix/IMDb/RottenTomatoes/whateveryourfavouritemoviewebsite support request questions anyway, althought we've gone a stricter line with those lately.

Mike Edenfield

that's why I didn't VTC or not. I was iffy on the topic of "general media sites".

We would definitely take questions about, say, "Marvel Unlimited" (a place to get comic books) on SF&F because it's so heavily connected to our topic. but probably wouldn't take one about Amazon.

even though you can buy comic books there.

Tom Cody

@Catija It might be made on-topic by employing some kind of broader distribution angle, though. But that particular question really wasn't anything else than Netflix support.

Q: Are questions regarding a movie website On-Topic?

Today when I saw this question What happened to IMDB to cause ratings to be skewed? I got little confused and even posted one close-vote but it's in a good Q/A format but is it in our boundaries? I mean are we going to allow question on Movie websites rating patterns or other similar prospective...

discussion scope imdb

@MikeEdenfield Well, it's a difficult borderline case, I think. There's also Music Fans which, at least when I last looked, seems to go a much more fan-based approach than a content/work-based approach, meaning what concerns music fans is on-topic (which also seems to be the primary motivation for allowing recommendations) and might speak more for allowing website support requests.

Mike Edenfield

4:47 PM

true, and your Help Center just barely manages to miss this case.

it's not about a movie's production but it is about something closely related to movies in general: their distribution and availability.

shrug

I could argue either way.

Tom Cody

Well, as I said, the community isn't that crystal clear about it, I think, even if we closed quite a bit of those things in the past. (Which is why I'd have liked to see some non-mod close-votes on that question, too.)

Mike Edenfield

I guess the real problem with such a question is, will it be useful in 3 months?

by then it's either gone or not gone, or even gone and come back.

Tom Cody

@MikeEdenfield Sure, and might be rewordable this way, but that question currently isn't. More often than not it just comes down to proper phrasing. But I also think that question is not that easily rewordable into a more commonly interesting distribution question.

Mike Edenfield

then again, we constantly field questions about the movie studio deals between Disney/Fox/Sony/etc from 10 years ago :)

perhaps a better question might be "What movies were distributed by Epix and are affected by their Netflix deal?" but that ends up being a list.

Tom Cody

@MikeEdenfield Which is another difficult aspect (and its unclarity the reason for the recent retirement of the dubious "current events" close reason).

Mike Edenfield

4:50 PM

meh. it's closed, over it :)

Catija

@MikeEdenfield Sure, but those are likely to have some historical significance. This question isn't about anything significant like that on the surface...

@MikeEdenfield Or, "How as the recent separation between Netflix and Epix affected the movies that are available on those sites?"

@MikeEdenfield I see why you're in here... Ugh.

Afterall, that thing was just too much bordering "trivia", "puchase/download request" and "site support request", even if not downright fullfilling any of those exactly.

@MikeEdenfield Wow, you are devious...

steelerfan

@MikeEdenfield Should I go in there and start asking about comic-con costumes again? That seemed to get everyone on a new topic fairly quickly :)

Mike Edenfield

@steelerfan tell them you want to make your own She-Hulk costume and ask for ideas.

Catija

@steelerfan Ooooh... or maybe... um... a fight about whether "Han shot first"... it would at least be related to the gun debate?

Mike Edenfield

Han shot first won't work. Of course he did.

Catija

@MikeEdenfield I know... but... Meh.

Tom Cody

4:59 PM

@Catija That won't work in a room full of die-hard fans. I'm not you'll find many people arguing the opposite there at all.

You could ask Trek vs Wars maybe. Or LotR vs Potter (or whatever other important non-filmed book things exist in that regard). Or of course DC vs Marvel.

Catija

@TomCody But she could... and that would get them all argue-y... maybe... or just get her kicked out entirely.

steelerfan

@MikeEdenfield thanks, but no thanks. I did get my Gotham Rogue costume, maybe I will pop in and let them know :)

Catija

@steelerfan Post pictures. I'm sure that would get some attention :D

steelerfan

@Catija have not got that far yet, just came fed ex this morning! I will post some after the event. I am starting to get busy at work, so I will go in that room in a few and let them know :)

Ok, we might have reached a saturation of actually good and on-topic Breaking Bad questions now.

Mike Edenfield

If you want to see "saturation", check out the SF&F Futurama event from a few years ago.

Q: Walter forgetting Gale's book in his toilet - was that too contrived a plot element?

As we have seen that Hank finds the book in toilet which led to fall of great empire of meth was that too contrived plot element.

Q: Why did Gus choose to employ Walter?

When Gus went through the Walt's background checks in Breaking Bad he surely was aware that his brother-in-law was DEA. So what was the reason that led Gus to have faith in Walter?

Tom Cody

Well, I have no problem with more Breaking Bad questions, but once the "that was a plot-hole, amirite?" starts, we might have enough for now.

@AnkitSharma It isn't listed on non-mobile either, since it isn't a user that is actually present in the room. But it works when using the usual specific message reply.

@TomCody We found these articles that we occasionally use when people scream "plot hole" at us: imgur.com/a/L7zDu and unrealitymag.com/movies/why-we-need-to-give-plot-holes-a-rest

@steelerfan there's a full-on modfest going on in Mos Eisley right now. You should come back later :)

steelerfan

@MikeEdenfield ha! I saw that, but I think I will stay away :)

Mike Edenfield

I think we have 7 mods plus a shog in there at the moment. I'm kinda scared to type anything.

@MikeEdenfield Honestly, I did not even know what was happening, I just went in and made my comment without knowing what was happening.....it was a nice change of topic last time! I am just staying out of there for now :)

From what I remember, the teaser (for a movie that's now more than a few years old, and is in English) had a young man in an old house that had sheets covering everything. He's talking into the camera, he may be house sitting for his grandparent? And nothing happens in the trailer that's weird, e...
