@steelerfan Wut? What kind of deduction is that? Sorry, I really didn't know that. I just meant "Acknowledged", or "I hear ya", or "Uhuh" or something like that.
And even of the times I say "I see" with a slight undertone it's 99% of those cases a joking one.
I basically just had to say something to let you know that I heard you. ;-)
In the movie "Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children", Mr. Barron kidnaps Miss Peregrine in order to use her in his immortality experiment. With Miss Peregrine gone, the time loop she created in September 1943 collapses, stranding Jake and the other kids in 1943. So to rescue Miss Peregrin...
So this is a cartoon that's really old. Its from the 2000s. I was like 7 or 8 so it was around 2008 or something. Anyway, it was a cartoon movie about magic. These people were flying and they had to defeat this bad guy and his darkness. Help identify this movie.
In Defending Your Life if you were judged to have been too driven by fear you were sent back to Earth to live another life.
They made it clear both explicitly and implicitly that returning to live another life meant that you'd have no memory of your afterlife experience or prior lives. That bein...
Casey Jones (Stephen Amell) went to the common bar and got his hands on a gps to track the Rocksteady and Beebop, but he never used it. Turtles used some other mechanism to track those two.

Rajesh and Howard had installed the hidden cameras and they checked it the next day in the time Sheldon was about to go to his "hideout".
So when did Sheldon make the fake recording and set it instead of the real camera stream?
I was re-watching House of Cards and I was wondering why didn't the Underwoods move to Number One Observatory Circle (The Official Vice President's Residence) when Frank is selected as Vice President. Why does he deliberately insist living in living in his Washington residence even though he is g...
I'm not sure if this has been asked here. I have found some forums elsewhere on this topic, but maybe the minds here have other thoughts.

Of course I wouldn't get anyone any silly gifts that they wouldn't want. I got him a Steelers hat that he seems to like and wear a lot, so, I don't know ;)
It is important to find a woman who works around the house, cooks and cleans and who has a job. It is important to find a woman who makes you laugh. It is important to find a woman who is dependable and doesn’t lie. It is important to find a woman who is loving and tender.
@steelerfan You laugh, but we live together alone, and I know that I didn't turn it up. Her saying "it wasn't me" isn't exactly the most convincing argument I've ever heard.
@steelerfan I'm not sure that's possible. I mean, even if you think someone is absolutely perfect and has nearly all those qualities, you realize she can't really cook. ;-)
@AnkitSharma There's ninja-turtles-2, which doesn't seem to be a synonym of tmnt-secret-of-the-ooze, but is used on questions about it and on a recent question about the newest film.
@AnkitSharma I know. Well, as long as those answer actually answer the questions and are rephrased to adress the specific questions, that's fine I guess.
I'm looking for a late 1980's or early 1990's movie that the husband and his mistress plan to kill the wife and live together. It was an USA made movie and probably first or second movie of the serie.
It was a low budget movie. There wasn't any well-known actors or actresses and in fact there w...
A local teen gets the high score on an arcade game, and he wins a real life replica of the main enemy in the game. It arrives at his door one day. At first he and his (I'm pretty sure girlfriend, maybe sister?) are enamoured with it, but then it tries to kill them and their friends and family. Th...
I have a faint memory of watching a movie with a lecture to medical students with a small child in the audience, so the professor needs to use childish words. I thought it was Young Frankenstein but I watched that recently and it doesn't contain the scene I remember.
It was an English movie. I s...
@NapoleonWilson As always, a reboot by people who only know the original from its Wikipedia page. It is not Leverage or Scorpion, people. Not even close.
I see you guys had an argument about Cabin in the Woods and needed a tiebreaker. Well, I decree it to be pretty cool, then. It's a smart and funny romp and the only major problem was that stupid eagle scene. So it's 3-2 @NapoleonWilson @AnkitSharma, sorry.
The Eagle scene works for me because I think most people had forgotten about it when Hemsworth is getting ready to make the jump. Then he crashes, and you remember, so it all adds up.
But they pretty much put the entire idea and reveal of the whole movie into your face in the first few minutes so that you wanted those kids to finally get it the whole time. What does the eagle scene destroy what you didn't already know anyway?
@DrRDizzle a) They've already clued us in that something's up before that scene. Totally unnecessary. b) It doesn't set it up, it completely deflates that scene. There's no tension and the surprise element is gone. We just wait for him to crash into it the whole time.
@Walt Like I said, first time seeing it I know that I'd forgotten about the Eagle scene, and only remembered it after he crashed. I believe that the intention was to ensure that once it happens, you remember, so it isn't just an unexplained "thing" that happens. Whether or not you think it works is another matter entirely, but I think the intention is clear.
And none of that explains how you think it's a plot hole though.
@DrRDizzle Well, what if the van had entered the tunnel a few seconds earlier? They would've seen the forcefield and the whole thing would've been exposed. Hang on, why are there birds there in the first place to mess things up? Etc. etc. It suddenly makes you realize that the forcefield doesn't make sense.
@Walt The forcefield had nothing to do with the tunnel, which was meant to have been blocked off hours ago but somebody in the facility screwed up - that's why we see Richard Jenkins' character running around trying to fix it.
And a bird flying around isn't a plot hole. That's what birds do.
@Walt you're forgetting that the US office is just one of the places around the world where things have to go right. If any of the other places succeed, it doesn't matter if the US fails.
What were the other places actually? All I remember was the weird J-Horror thing with the obligatory long-haired girl defeated by a school class(?) in some weird way.
The Great British Bake-Off is filmed in the summer and aired in the autumn. The final episode reveals the winner at a large garden party, yet the identity of the winner remains secret until the show is aired.
How do they manage to keep the identity of the winner secret?
@DrRDizzle Apparently, some ruined town in Stockholm, a horned King Kong (?) in Buenos Aires and some burning castle in Madrid. I wonder what they were referencing there.
(Though they could be just random, non-copyright infringing scenarios)
@AnkitSharma Just arguing about a dead bird. :P [Off for a snack]
@Walt I think that's just there to make us realise that the US is the last chance, really. Although it did make me laugh when the Japan scenario turns the ghost into a frog.
I've seen Japanese horror films, and that ending isn't even all that unlikely.
In the movie Alyce Kills (2011) there are many deliberate references to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.
A few off the top of my head:
She has a white rabbit statue when she is getting high
Her visits to the drug dealer are obviously a reference to the tea party with the Mad Ha...
In the last scene of South Park, episode 6 of season 20, a bunch of memberberries drops one of their own into a martini glass with gin & tonic, which then gets served to Caitlyn Jenner. She sips from the glass, but doesn't eat the berry or the olive, and responds to the server "Buckle up, buckaro...
Does anyone know what song this is that Skwisgaar is recording in Season 2, Episode 18 of Metalocalypse? It's awesome, and I can't find it in any of the albums.
Nowadays, most movies and tv series tend to use actual brand logos (such as those of CNN, FOX etc eg. most recently in the movie London Has Fallen), I assume, to lend authenticity to their narrative.
My question is how difficult is it to do the same and what procedure does the production crew n...

I first came across this scream when I played Timesplitters 2 (when players get set on fire), and while its nowhere near as popular as the tediously overused Wilhelm scream (or female/reverse variants), I have occasionally come across it since.

@NapoleonWilson So, Kim was watching it when I went over there lastnight. I ended up watching it with her. We got into a debate on which one of the guys killed each person.
She's adamant that Stu killed Casey and Steve. While I agree that he had more of a motive to, Tatum says at lunch the next day that he was with her all night...
And Billy just shows up at Sydney's window unannounced that night. I always thought that he stopped by Sydney's after killing Casey and Steve.
@NapoleonWilson Well, I looked up some info lastnight and all I could find was opinions. Most opinions agree that Stu killed Casey and Steve, which makes no sense to me. It started to get too complicated to put together to word it so it's not opinion based.
I remember a film, maybe a tv-movie, (70s?80s?90s?) where there were a bunch of kids living together, like in a foster home... one of them had in her room a doll hospital... and one of them got adopted but the rest went to her rescue singing Oh my darling Clementine.... anyone could help me???
I reworded it to just "the killers". One might say even that could be a spoilers, seeing how we're supposed to believe it's just one. But well, as long as noone complains that seems fine.
@steelerfan Has always worked that way on this site, though.
In fact we're much more lenient with spoilers than other sites, which make much heavier use of spoiler markup in the question bodies themselves.
Well, I guess it's rare for people to complain in those cases, since as you say it's more likely most people have either seen it by now or don't care about the movie anyway. But it's the policy here still.
@steelerfan Indeed. It's a policy nevertheless and I neither buy age nor "cultural significance" as arguments that something isn't a spoiler. How old is "old enough"? How famous is "famous enough"?
I personally don't really care that much and I also don't like nowadays' internet culture of calling every possible unimportant story detail a spoiler. But with significant things we really have to show a little courtesy, be it only because there's enough people out there who do take heavy offense to spoilers.
Every year when there's a new Marvel or Star Wars or Game of Thrones thing Meta Stack Exchange gets the good old "ban Movies.SE from the HNQ list!" questions.
It is revealed in Scream that Billy Loomis and Stu Macher were in a partnership to terrorize and murder the people of Woodsboro.
The final scene of the film shows Billy and Stu confessing their crimes to Sydney Prescott while attempting to frame Sydney's father for all of the murders.

@steelerfan I know you didn't. Don't worry. There's nothing to be sorry for. ;-) I hope you don't think I was lecturing you. I just wanted to give you all the backgrounds.
I saw this Sci Fi movie in the last few years at some point all the kids get chips in their heads, then to test, they show another kid and the kid has an alien or something in his brain and they have to shock the kid.
Then they are sent out as soldiers to kill others who they see have the alien...
After watching an advert for Hunted the other day, I know the format has been done before in the UK, but not as brutal. I remember watching it with my parents, so that dates it either very late 90s or early 00s - anything from 1999 to 2003.
My memory is pretty hazy on some aspects, but it involv...
