Q: Help finding an old movie about an alien on a boat?

SamIt's a movie I watched a bit of when I was a child, can't remember exactly when the movie was shown but it was probably made no later than 2005 and probably not before the 90s I only remember parts of the beginning where a group of people are on a small boat which is sinking, they manage to make...

Q: Why was the cast of FRIENDS unable to make it big to the industry after their hit TV series?

wranglerI have always been curious to know "what happened to the cast of FRIENDS?" after their series ended. Why have they dissappeared? And no one has been seen in any such great movie or show after that except in some reality shows and that too once in a year or two. Except Jennifer Aniston I have not...

PaulToward the end of a movie girl and boy talking. Obviously going seperate ways but had a connection during the movie. Girl and boy wrote a song together. She was blonde. She sits on a low brick pillar on the bottom of some steps leading up to her front yard. Playing a guitar start to sing to boy...

I hate this goddamn Wikipedia! Yet again robbed me of a great question about Scream 2. Argh, why do I bother to check that beforehand!

Q: 70's drive-in horror flick

SteveA 70's horror flick about a mad scientist using solar radiation rays and melding a man and a woman together while they make love. End line was the melded being saying, "It was delicious."

@TomCody It's certainly never stopped people from asking before :P

^^^^^^^^^^
@TomCody *"We got to work more on encouraging better identification questions in the first place"* And not a moment too soon. They seem to be getting worse again. No pressure, though. ;)
 
@Walt Well, I think they're pretty much as always. Much crap and some good ones.
@MovieReel Forget what I said. ;-)

Q: Song of the Sea

PolarisWhy did Bronagh look sorrowful when Ben asked her not to take Saoirse away, and why did Ben cry after seeing this reaction of Bronagh? I think I got the metaphorical structure of the film, but I cannot understand this scene.

 
@Catija I saw you earlier in SF&F, but I was leaving right as you came in...I like how the moment I come in this room to chat with you, Walt & TC ran for the door :) Ha! too funny!!
 
@steelerfan Hmm? I leave tabs open in about five different chat rooms, so I'm rarely actually "in" the room... Similarly, I don't actually "leave" a chat room using the "leave" button, so when I depart a room (meaning when my icon leaves it) that doesn't actually mean anything, either :P
 
@Catija Oh, sorry. I went in this morning because I was pinged from a conversation lastnight.
@Catija My bad, I thought you were in there for something.
 
@MovieReel First reaction: "Huh? What movie are you looking for, exactly? If you know it's called Song of the Sea, why not look it up? Or are you looking for a song from a movie about a sea?" --ID Brainfreeze
 
@steelerfan I was in there last night chatting about non-sci-fi stuff... and I logged into my computer this morning about an hour or so ago.:) No need to apologize, though.
 
5:35 PM
They are all "preparing" me for my first comic-con visit, but then I found out lastnight that it is not comic-con, but something called Kumoricon, so we are starting from scratch now :)
 
@steelerfan Didn't see you, actually. I bolted because I'm working and know that if I stay here for more than a second I'll stay and chat for hours...
 
@steelerfan Well, they're all comic-cons... they're just not all Comic-Con. ;)... well, I suppose a lot of them are technically Anime cons, nowadays.
 
@Walt I came in pretty late, only ended up chatted for about 30 minutes though :)
 
@steelerfan That might still warrant a firing :/
 
@Walt well, I actually admitted that I have never seen the original Star Wars. How's that for brave?? :)
 
5:39 PM
Most of the times I actually "leave" the room much earlier than it seems, because the chat engine keeps you in the room for another 10-15 minutes even after you closed all open chatroom windows (unless you actually click on "leave" directly, which I rarely do).
 
@steelerfan That's OK, everything around that movie is more important that the movie itself, really
 
@TomCody My comment earlier was a complete joke, I know that was not intentional.
 
@steelerfan Too bad, that Gotham Rogues thing was a great idea, especially as a Steelers fan. But I also would feel quite pissed about such an info, since I personally know zero about animes stuff.
 
@Walt I pretty much know the movie just from pop culture. I promised my 13 year old nephew I would have a Star Wars movie fest today, so he will be here in about an hour and we are watching the original trilogy, tomorrow we are watching the "new" trilogy.
@TomCody Yes, my sister is on my list. She just called me and informed me of this lastnight after I ordered my gotham rogues fan outfit and everything!!
 
@steelerfan You were probably referred to that thread about the watching order
 
5:43 PM
Oh, then that might be of interest (even if your plans are already set):

Q: In what order should a newcomer watch Star Wars episodes?

kapaI have a friend who has never seen Star Wars and he wants to watch it. I am unsure which order I should suggest. Should he watch the old or new Trilogy first? Or some kind of mixed order? I am looking for a well-reasoned answer, not one-liners.

 
@Walt No, one user just suggested to watch them in the order they were released, I was referred to a thread about how to pronounce Mos Eisley if you have never seen Star Wars though.
 
@steelerfan I truly apologize for the internet
 
@Walt it is fine, be more sorry for my nephew who thinks I am a complete fool for never watching these movies :)
@Walt He pretty much thinks I am an idiot....so glad that I do not have children so I do not have to be reminded of that on a daily basis.
 
@steelerfan Sounds like it's going to be a fun day. ;)
 
Nevermind, there are also fools who've never seen The Godfather or Streets of Fire in this room. ;-)
 
5:49 PM
With a living commentary track
 
Speak of the devil! Off for my Star Wars fest. Have a good day everyone :)
 
Have fun!
 
@TomCody We all have our knowledge gaps. I never watched 'Final Cut: Holgyeim es uraim'. (Yes, the 'Final Cut: Holgyeim es uraim'. I know, I don't really have an excuse.)
 
Wow, the concept of that thing sounds interesting, though.
 
I think it's on Youtube, if you're interested
And at least you finally watched Princess Bride... After we harangued you about it ;)
 
5:55 PM
Indeed.
 
@Walt Well... I know he bought it... never did get his essay movie review about whether he liked it or not.
 
But well, as I said
Aug 12 at 18:08, by Tom Cody
It was a nice movie for sure. But something tells me that humungous cult significance it enjoys is largely just for the sake of its own (or nostalgia for that matter).
But yeah, at least I've finally seen it.
@Walt Where?
 
@TomCody I think the cult status is because it's like an entire movie made of tropes and catchphrses
 
Meh, maybe. Don't know.
 
@TomCody In the Youtube page that pops up when you search for its title. :P [It does over here, anyway]
 
6:00 PM
@Catija I didn't even add it to my overly long haiku queue, sorry.
 
True Story: For years I never knew the ending of Princess Bride due to a faulty tape. Loved it anyway
 
@Walt Hmm, I only find the trailer and millions of short minute long things (that are probably just parts and clips used in it).
 
@TomCody Weird. Maybe something's blocked?
 
Can you post a direct YouTube link to it?
 
@TomCody Two, even
But one of them is longer, so here
 
6:05 PM
Yeah, that's blocked, supposed to contain copyrighted music. Bleh, stupid GEMA assholes!
 
Bummer
Best delete the link, then
 
@Walt No need to at all. It's a perfectly valid YouTube link.
It's not SE's or our responsibility to conform to a country's copyright laws, it's YouTube's and that's what they do.
 
@TomCody Till you reach the rickrolling part, anyway
@TomCody Probably some way to bypass them anyway
 
@Walt Thankfully at least rickrolling usually doesn't work on me neither for the exact same reason. ;-)
 
@TomCody Wow, those GEMA people don't mess around

Q: The Simpsons: Why Homer says The Who used to be named The Hillbilly Bugger Boys in the Tales Of Two Springfield episode?

Q: Movie review sites/platforms

Mr.N0b0dyI am having trouble finding decent Movie-Reviews, sites and platforms (as well documentary). I am aware of the variety of reviews sites, google, IMDB, RottenTomatoes, Reviewers Community etc. Put the bottom-line is that 90% of reviews are cheap, just a mere overview in narrative form with objecti...

Q: What is nmame of movie where girl tries to keep people from her dad?

Chris HorningWhat is name of movie with daughter who harms people that get close to her father? I think the girl was around 9 or 10 years old in the movie.

 
8:11 PM
OK, what is going on? Yet another wave of 1 or 2 line ID questions today. This can't be a coincidence.
 
And yes, Tom, I know you can't tell them apart, but come on: Four of them(!!) had only 1-2 lines. Another two didn't contain the usual required details and another one was one rambling sentence with no punctuation. In 24 hours.
I'm going with voodoo curse.
 
8:28 PM
Hmm, maybe I just glanced over those that had at least 5 lines. I might take a closer look now that the 2 most recent are handled for now.
 
Another one just popped up :(

Q: What movie has a man shoot his wife/family so the bad guys can't control him?

EricI thought it was El Mariachi. I remember it being that style of movie. The bad guys get his wife/family and he shoots them so the bad guys can't hurt them. Then he goes on a revenge killing spree.

 
Well, it's great when you have assholes you are clearly native speakers and just write utter shit out of, I don't know, friggin' internet laziness?
 
So that's 8 bad-to-worst (mostly worst) ID questions in one day. Sure, some of them might improve, but something is prompting this. Argghh
 
Well, it's weekend, I guess. ;-(
But I can only close so much shit before being called out as an asshole on meta, and that's 7 for today already. ;-(
 
8:36 PM
Weekend might cause ID, but not the worst ID ever
[Usual Suspects] Aww, c'mon, Andrew. Me likey
(Or at least did back then. Though it's still nice in rewatches)
