Andrew Martin

I like the question, although it needs reworded to be a touch more objective. I love the interest it's gotten and it does bring some fascinating things out. But almost all the answers are just one line "here's a film, there, enjoy it"

Napoleon Wilson

So, removed 4 more answers. That's exactly the kind of situation I wanted to avoid. But well, it was a good idea to protect it, should shield it against useless 101-answers.

@AnkitSharma I closed it once, but then tried to improve it into a more explanative direction. I think it can work, but it has to be shielded about "here's a cool example" crap. And protection should definitely help with that.

So, I still got that extra swag from SE's christmas event and I'd like to give it out as reward for some cool community building competition. On the one hand it should be somehow constructive for the site (i.e. rewarding actual contributions). But it should also be a bigger event than the usual challenges, because swag!...

...And the nomination should be explicit, so that really only people can win that actually want the swag. In the same way I would exclude anyone from the first 2 top-user pages who already had their legitimate chance for getting swag anyway (at least unless they can mention good reasons why they still want some).

Ideas?

I thought about something like a questions/answers competition, where people can nominate their own posts in a pre-round as meta answers, followed by an additional period for voting on those by the community with nominations closed (to reduce the disadvantages of late-comers due to vote accumulation over time).

@NapoleonWilson Do you have a different one you prefer?

I know we've had a couple.

Napoleon Wilson

@Catija You could take the one linked from there, where cde asked about how to handle such comments in general.

Catija

I don't see that one...

Napoleon Wilson

@Catija This? It's quite a bit more constructive IMHO and not ladden with unrelated grief, indignance and assholism.

Catija

That seems to be more about cross duplicates... "this has been asked by someone else on ___", here's a link.

Napoleon Wilson

Otherwise sounds like reasonable advice. You could possibly inlcude the option that it could be cross-posted but only if sufficiently changed to fit the target audience better, but that could make you comment a bit too complicated.

@Catija Hmm, granted. I didn't realize this so much. Meh, so be it, I don't want to dictate what meta questions you link to and it's admittedly strongly related. I just don't think this thing sheds a good light on anyone, but I also agree that good PR isn't the purpose of your meta answer.

Yeah. I was thinking about that... I might simply mention it but outside the comment itself. It's a bit too complex for a comment.

@Catija You could maybe change it to "don't cross post the exact same question".

Catija

@NapoleonWilson Yeah, the purpose is to show the hell that can happen when you phrase them poorly, and, unfortunately, it's a very good (or bad) example. I think, in general, both you and Ankit did a good job of responding to the question and I don't think that anyone will feel it reflects poorly on M&TV.

Yeah.

Napoleon Wilson

@Catija Well, it has since gone from once -7 to now -3. There apparently are indeed some people who agree with his sentiments (and apparently weren't repelled sufficiently by the tone in which those were uttered). But nevermind.

Catija

@NapoleonWilson Interesting... I feel like SFF had the same negative reaction to him, in general.

Napoleon Wilson

4:11 PM

The problem is, if someone acts like a total asshole it gives an impression that is hard to shake off even if he makes more reasonable post later on. We are still dealing with people here and tone and first impressions have a big influence on how you're seen. I think he and his ideas tend to suffer from this a bit, and from the habit of not being able to disengage from discussions when the end of their usefulness is apparent.

Catija

Very true. Some people dig in and don't let go, even if dozens tell them that they're looking at it the wrong way.

Napoleon Wilson

The problem is also that if you argue on and on, you can try to reason as objectively and constructively as you want, it's still interpreted as annoying and unable to stop. And the more you then emphasize that you are not trying to troll (be that even true), the more it influences people into thinking you actually are. This is a general problem in such internet discussions (or discussions in general) that is sometimes hard to realize and cope with.

Shit, I just inadvertently pressed some keyboard shortcut and now all the fonts seem to look strange. What did I do?

@steelerfan But as much as I heard that's supposed to be quite an experience.

steelerfan

@NapoleonWilson Yeah, it's quite the experience for whomever is with me ;) Don't worry, I trust you. I would totally drink with you :)

Walt

@AndrewMartin No idea. Ballparking it, half? I heard of most of them, but my memory's no good and I usually forget the name too. :( Probably half all the way, more if it's just bits of them (I channel surf when I'm bored).

Andrew Martin

8:31 PM

@Walt: It's just ridiculously amazing. I google a ton of them and have no idea what any of them are. It's seriously amazing. If you left, half of them would just be unknowns!

Catija

Yeah, I used to Google them all the time and wouldn't ever find them... I mean... I clearly find them occasionally... but usually I just simply recognize them from the beginning.

Andrew Martin

That's it for me too. If I recognise them, I'm good. If I don't, I almost never succeed in researching. I stopped trying a while back, too.

Napoleon Wilson

I hardly even read most of 'em, especially not the good ones.

Walt

@AndrewMartin "have no idea" That's a good thing. A lot of it is trashy horror. :) I just watched a lot of it (up until some years ago)

Andrew Martin

Indeed!

steelerfan

8:35 PM

@Walt I actually thought that the parasite one sounded like Slither

Walt

@steelerfan Yeah, parasites and chestbursting is a genre unto itself

Napoleon Wilson

Too bad that Forrest Gump's muted statement about the Vietnam War doesn't actually exist.

Walt

@AndrewMartin I usually remember some other vague thing about them, though, which adds to the keywords

steelerfan

@Walt Yeah, there was something about ground beef in that movie that sounded familiar.

Andrew Martin

There's the odd thing I get, but honestly 80% of the answers you give, I've never even heard of the films.

The other 20% I have, but most of the time I'd never link the OP's ask to the answer

steelerfan

8:37 PM

@NapoleonWilson There are a lot of things about that movie that I have questions about.

Walt

Like that one about the sketch that really sounded like Everything You Wanted To Know About Sex, I suddenly really vaguely recalled there was some famous comedian who starred in it reluctantly. And was convinced it was Jerry Lewis at first.

Napoleon Wilson

@steelerfan It's a great film. I've seen it a million times. And I still had to cry like 5 minutes in. I seriously gotta check my hormone balance or something.

Andrew Martin

Crazy. I salute you, just crazy!

Walt

@AndrewMartin That's good too. I assure you that when it comes to the movies in my ID answers I actually liked, the numbers are way lower :O

steelerfan

@NapoleonWilson awwww, yeah, I love that movie, too. I'm trying to think about what is 5 minutes in that is sad......

Napoleon Wilson

8:41 PM

@steelerfan It wasn't really that sad. It was just Forrest meeting Jenny in the bus for the first time. And I don't really know why that made me cry suddenly.

Walt

@AndrewMartin To be fair, my highest rated ID answers are also usually the easiest ones and would've been answered anyway. I was just around.

Andrew Martin

@Walt: For me, any time the question says "TV movie" I just assume I don't know it :D

@Walt: I never understand that. 3 of my top 5 answers are from the last week, and they weren't even particularly complex.

Q: Why is Shawshank cinematically important? A: It's a good film.

Napoleon Wilson

@Walt Because people reconize it and thus agree even more with the answer, especially if they like the film.

Andrew Martin

Q: What does Silence of the Lambs mean? A: A line in the script.

Q: Why are films where the bad guys win so rare? A: They're not.

Walt

@AndrewMartin Not those "Why is this obvious title the title", I hope

Andrew Martin

8:42 PM

Simple! No idea why they were that popular

Walt

@AndrewMartin Oh, whoops.

Andrew Martin

@Walt: Crazy!

Catija

@AndrewMartin "70s Australian TV show"... um... yeah. I'm not going to find that.

Andrew Martin

You know the Mulholland Drive one was trending on the hot list earlier

@Catija: My thoughts too. I just forget it immediately lol

steelerfan

@NapoleonWilson Maybe because it was sweet that she was the only one that would let him sit down on the bus.

Napoleon Wilson

8:43 PM

@AndrewMartin But you still have to phrase it properly and exhaustively. I'd also bet during your last activity period HNQs weren't such a big thing, yet.

Walt

@AndrewMartin Oh, you answered that Ex Machina one too? Not... one of my favorite Qs. :S Your talents are wasted

Andrew Martin

@NapoleonWilson: That's definitely true. Many more people are here than before, that's definitely noticeable

@Walt: lol maybe. Sometimes the obvious questions are just the ones people love.

Napoleon Wilson

@steelerfan Probably primarily also because of the voice over and the whole love of his life thing and the foreshadowing of their whole relationship. Still I never really had to cry at that point.

Andrew Martin

But my # of answers pales in comparison to yours

Walt

@AndrewMartin HNQ logic. They're sometimes the easiest ones

@AndrewMartin Again, was just lucky enough to be around. But finally, something I actually know well and like :)

steelerfan

8:47 PM

@NapoleonWilson Sure you had to cry! Nothing wrong with that :) I cried at the end of Armageddon, which nobody else understands :)

Andrew Martin

@Walt: Well, I'm glad you're here!

2

Walt

@AndrewMartin Just barely. :( Still swamped.

And might have to go soon

Napoleon Wilson

@steelerfan Sure there's nothing wrong with that. I love crying to movies actually. And I cried to the weirdest things, Like 2012, which for some reason moved me a lot.

Andrew Martin

@Walt: Oh dear. Is it work that's been keeping you busy?

Walt

...And it might be for the best, before I blurt out what I really think about Gump

Andrew Martin

8:49 PM

@NapoleonWilson: I assume the opening to Up just destroyed you then?

Walt

@AndrewMartin Always :,(

Andrew Martin

@Walt: What do you do?

steelerfan

@NapoleonWilson OMG!! I cried at the end of that movie too! Haha! I thought I was the only one!!!

Napoleon Wilson

@AndrewMartin Hmm, I honestly didn't find that film as great as everyone else. Sure, was nice, but well. And the opening was nice, too. But didn't move me that much. I guess it's rather subjective what moves me or not.

Walt

@AndrewMartin Oh, would you look at the time :P

Andrew Martin

8:50 PM

@Walt: Ah, is this a big secret then. Interesting...

@NapoleonWilson: I bawl my eyes out at the opening. Every damn time.

Napoleon Wilson

Recently I cried quite a lot to The Prince of Tides, but I guess that's a film where you're supposed to do that.

Catija

@AndrewMartin Oh, god... that was horrid. I can't believe they would do that...

steelerfan

@AndrewMartin Well, since Napoleon is a spy, there is no telling what Walt does for a living ;)

Walt

@AndrewMartin Nah, not really. I just rarely reveal anything personal on a forum this popular

steelerfan

@NapoleonWilson I have never seen that movie :(

Andrew Martin

8:52 PM

@Walt: Fair enough. Sure just post your address and I'll come round and we can discuss.

@Catija: It was tragic, and so, so brilliant.

Napoleon Wilson

@steelerfan I'd never seen it either, but it was on TV at the weekend so I just tried. Pretty good IMHO.

Walt

@AndrewMartin The mods probably know where I'm from, for like emergencies and stuff, and that's enough for me

Andrew Martin

@Walt: That's pretty sound advice.

steelerfan

@NapoleonWilson Nick Nolte and Barbara Streisand, right?

Andrew Martin

@Walt: Although as you haven't said what you do, and as Walt is short for Walter, and as I've only heard of one other Walter... I am deep down now wondering if you're a meth peddling chemist

Catija

8:54 PM

@AndrewMartin Yeah. But it really gets you in the feels...

Andrew Martin

@Catija: Totally

Napoleon Wilson

The only Pixar thing that really moved me to cry quite a bit is Inside Out so far, I guess. But that might also be due to the fact that I usually don't watch them in cinema or alone, to fully concentrate on them.

Andrew Martin

@Walt: But I'll assume not :D

Walt

@AndrewMartin Nothing against you guys, I like you all. :) It's just like the 50th largest online site or something. People know who I am in smaller online communities. We even get together once in a while :)

Napoleon Wilson

@steelerfan Yes.

Walt

8:55 PM

@AndrewMartin A common mistake. :) I picked this nic before I saw the show.

Andrew Martin

@Walt: No, that makes sense. We all probably give out too much online. Heck I use my real name. Probably am not that hard to google/find.

Walt

@AndrewMartin Luckily for you, it's a common one, though

Andrew Martin

People keep adding comments under my "movies where bad guys win" listing more and more random films. "What about Rocky I and II?" is the latest.
