First time I watched Dead Man's Chest I was apalled at the amount of killing
 
@CreationEdge Well, that's not exactly an animated kids' film, though.
Especially with a total don't care attitude of killing goons without any moral implications or even wasting a second of a thought about it.
It's not that I'm "apalled" or even bothered by it, though, not at all, not at all the slightest. It's rather refreshing to see as a nice setback to the golden days of action films when people didn't worry about killing hundreds of goons. But it's interesting to see in an animated kids' film about heroes.

Q: Movie about two news reporters figuring out a murder but one of them is actually the killer

vancoxI'm looking for a movie about a black woman and white man who are trying to figure out who killed the girls friend. The black girl goes into his house at one point and finds a shrine of herself (because the guy is obsessed with her) and also when looking through his computer, saw he had sexual re...

 
@KutuluMike Hey, my brother in law told me that Ric Flair is getting married again...for like the 5th time ;)
@CreationEdge Woohoo! I'm so happy for you!! I know that you miss them!! Yay!
 
12:16 AM
@steelershark yah. he's engaged to the girl that he did Wife Swap with.
 
@KutuluMike What? Like someone else's wife?
 
yeah. He swapped with Roddy Piper's wife.
 
OMG. Well, didn't Roddy Piper just die?
 
last year
fun fact: Roddy Piper was Canadian

RrrrroeOk so recently this new movie "Lights Out" is coming out and I remember seeing something like it when I was young it was like lights out because the monster/creature only came out in the dark, I don't remember much else about the movie but I'm pretty sure it ended in a light house or something (I...

Q: Why does Syndrome's robot turn against him?

Napoleon WilsonDuring the finale of The Incredibles when Syndrome has his robot attack the city he poses to fight it, but actually controlling it with his remote on his arm. But then the robot suddenly shoots at the remote, blowing it off Syndrome's arm. But why did the robot do that? I didn't exactly understa...

 
1:08 AM
@CreationEdge My first, and what I consider my only real question, was an ID over at SFF. There's a lot of people I've talked to who've stuck around, after having first asked an ID.
@MovieReel "A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law."
... except it displays no adherence to the first two laws whatsoever.
 
1:25 AM
@Mazura And there's a lot of people I've talked to (on this site actually) who've decided not to stick around further because of all the other people asking ID questions. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
 
@NapoleonWilson Then they don't know how to ignore stuff? Or feel at a 'rep' disadvantage because of them?
 
they feel that a site full of ID questions is not of any interest to them and doesn't give them any motivation to stick around and answer questions.
 
IDs are not my thing, I have them ignored. But as I've said, they're why I'm here. However, even calling them a necessary evil would be a stretch IMO. I hate minecraft and pokemon, but I didn't up and quit Arqade...
 
yes, but imagine of you joined Arqade to ask about console games and over half of the questions were about Facebook games.
and the majority of those were just terribly written to boot.
your first impression would probably be "well, this is a crappy site." and you'd go somewhere else.
 
heh. then I'd keep doing what I do at Arqade: ignore every new game tag of all the new games I don't play.
My list there is pretty short ;)
 
1:40 AM
well, if you have minecraft and pokemon on ignore, Arqade probably looks like it's a dead site.
not the second most active site on the network
 
There's some Fallout questions and some stuff about getting Steam to work. That's about it.
@KutuluMike top 2? SO and ...?
 
right now, Arqade is getting more activity than SU or SF, I believe.
at least, it was earlier this week
95% of it po:go
 
Oh, well. Yeah. pfft.
I've been trying to think of a precedent for the Pokemon craze.
I don't think there is.
 
it's way worse than Harry Potter or Star Wars or the horror that was Futurama Week.
it's even worse than when Skyrim came out and that was bad.
 
I mean, even outside of SE. This game has permeated society to an extent that, frankly, scares me.
And now I'm talking about it... <gags self with flag>

@steelershark small one happened at 12 O clock but the main one is planned for Saturday
Anyways sister's friend came last weekend, so there is party everyday, i went there yesterday for one
 
@AnkitSharma Woohoo! We are having my sister's 40th birthday party on Saturday! Cool!
 
@steelershark same pinch
 
Well, it's kinda a weekend long party combined with my dad's pre-wedding party. We are all going fishing all day tomorrow, a party at my brother's house on Saturday, a 80's cruise for my sister Saturday night and a party for my mom and dad at her Godson's house on Sunday. Party weekend!!
 
wow wow wow, sound awesome

Even my sister is older then him ;), few months

It's so much fun when we can call our sister's old ladies ;)

I gotta get up early and I am exhausted. See ya! Have a great weekend :)
 
Anyway mys sister joke about calling us twins so that she can hide her age ( not seriously)

@NapoleonWilson What? Didn't you notice the emoticon?
 
@MAFIA36790 I did, but I thought there's still some kind of truth to the joke. Or was it really just a random statement without any base?
 
user116211
@NapoleonWilson No, It was indeed a suggestion but since it was film-based, I think it is okay here. I don't speak randomly, BTW; everything has a reason :)
 
@MAFIA36790 I know you didn't mean it serious. I was just asking how it's space exploration related at all and thought you might have an explanation for that.
 
how is every one here
 
11:32 AM
Fine.
 
user116211
@NapoleonWilson Not a solid explanation though, but yeah they deal with such questions like sort of that map of moon to be explored in a voyage; related to NASA or all that. That's why it was not on a serious note, but also not random.
 
@MAFIA36790 Have you read the question, though? I'm not sure space exploration people could provide any kind of insight on that matter.
 
user116211
@NapoleonWilson Well re whether they can help or not, I'm sure about that. That's why I didn't leave that as a comment there.

Q: A movie where a boy tries to seduce a girl

Q: Why we see dizzy face of stu in last scenes of phone booth?

user38160Why do we see a dizzy face of Stu in the last scenes of Phone Booth? Actually Stu got sedated by the paramedics. So only Stu will feel dizzy, that means only Stu's eyes will view with a dizzy feeling. But whole scene went to a dizzy state (it's like the audience got sedated). Why so?

Q: Why does Buddy Pine call himself Syndrome?

Napoleon WilsonBuddy Pine, the villain from The Incredibles, goes by the name Syndrome. But it's not really clear why.

@MovieReel Are you trying to make me watch it again O.o
 
@MovieReel I hope this one is less stupid than my previous question.
 
@NapoleonWilson who said that was stupid
easily figurable != stupid
 
@AnkitSharma I do. ;-)
 
hmmm
 
12:48 PM
Heh, sci-fi linking to a question finally got my answer to overtake an awfully wrong but self-accepted answer that has been a thorn in my eye for ages. \o/
 
@NapoleonWilson which ?
 
@NapoleonWilson A thorn in your eye?
 
@AnkitSharma This one.
@DrRDizzle Doesn't English have that?
That thing has always been a prime example of book/comic answers done wrong.
(Together with this one, but fortunately there the comic-only answer has long been overtaken and is not self-accepted.)
 
@NapoleonWilson that one i know and i do think ur answer is way better
I don't mind comic booky answer but if they are clearly conflict with movie then they can be add on but not the primary part of answer
 
@AnkitSharma My answer at least employs the movie (as do other answers, too). But the comic answer is entirely irrelevant and doesn't adress the movie at all.
 
12:56 PM
@NapoleonWilson agreed
 
@AnkitSharma Oh right, I somehow read "don't".
@AnkitSharma Indeed.
 
To me I put movie based answer over novelization and book/comics.
 
Yeah, once the movie fails to give its own explanation we can still look into secondary sources, as long as they don't downright contradict the film. But until then the film of course has prevalence.

Anyway, I'll probably just go with the normal 2 weeks.
 
2:27 PM
@NapoleonWilson 2 weeks gives you a longer time for people to go see the new film and ask questions, so I'd go with that.
 
@DrRDizzle Well, I was arguing about 2 weeks vs 2 weeks and 2 days, so...

@NapoleonWilson That's an odd time period, so don't do it :P

What Star Trek challenge?
 
Hey @CreationEdge! Were you able to enjoy the movie?
 
user132126
Yes. The humour mostly annoyed me, with a couple exceptions, but everything else was really good.
 
user132126
I put on extra lidocaine patches and took my strongest meds, and chose a hydrating beverage from concession. About 30 minutes in I could feel my body relax quite a bit.
 
user132126
Like, I literally felt a ripple through my muscles and it went from super tense to barely tense. Odd sensation!

Wow, huh. I'm glad you were able to enjoy it!
Anyway, I think there's a contractual requirement that the humor in any ST series must be annoying. :P

A: Weekly Topic Challenge - Ideas

ThunderforgeStar Trek 50th Anniversary September 8, 1966 was the day when the first episode of Star Trek aired. Now 50 years later, we have 5 live action shows, one animated show, and 13 theatrical films. Let's celebrate by asking questions about the franchise!

@Catija Meh, there's also some good humour. The Voyage Home, one of the best films (if not the best) is basically a comedy all around (and on purpose, in contrast to, say, The Final Frontier).
 
@NapoleonWilson ... It was a joke.
 
user132126
The Bones vs. Spock stuff felt very forced, to me.
 
@CreationEdge Hmm, that's the part I especially loved from the trailer.
 
@CreationEdge In the new one? Usually I find that they've done pretty well.
 
user132126
4:15 PM
Like we were supposed to be aware of this long-term, begrudgingly jocular relationship, but that wasn't established in this movie.
 
user132126
It was like "Oh, we have to work together? I hate working with Spock". Obviously that wasn't the line, but it just didn't work for me.
 
@CreationEdge The same thing people complained about with Kirk and Spock in the previous film, building on a relationship that actually wasn't there. (Though, I'm not sure I agree with that.)
 
user132126
So there were like 3 times in the movie he said something to that effect that were just meh for me, but I did laugh at other stuff.
 
And it's not like they have a TV show's worth of interactions to go back to or anything... since the timeline has changed.
 
user132126
The movie is like 3.5 years after the last one, but we didn't get to see the relationships grow in that time.
 
user132126
4:16 PM
Spock and Kirk, very much so, but not Bones and Spock.
 
user132126
A couple minor incidents where Spock was being particularly dense, before they were teamed up, would have fixed it.
 
@CreationEdge So the movie progression is following actual time progression?
 
Well, that might just be a (necessary?) relic of making a movie series employing established characters without that establishment having actually happened in the movie series itself.
 
user132126
I must reiterate how small a portion of the movie that is. It's barely a complaint and shouldn't affect your overall mindset going into the film.
 
user132126
When I have a migraine, my funny bone is often turned off or down low.
 
4:18 PM
@CreationEdge Oh, don't worry, it doesn't affect mine at all. ;-)
 
user132126
@Catija I guess so? Has it been that long? He mentioned it'd been like 960 days and over 3 years.
 
@CreationEdge Last one was 2013, so sounds about right.
 
@CreationEdge 960 days is under 3 years, though.
 
user132126
Oh, there's a giant green hand comment in the movie that I laughed at
 
user132126
Oh. Maybe he said "almost 3 years", makes sense.
 
user132126
4:20 PM
I heard 960/980 something and 3 years, so could have misheard the more/almost thing.

I would stay through the end credits, too. It's a flying-through space thing and there's some neat planets and cosmos to see, and a quick easter egg.

Indeed (even though it's a little unfortunate he got called a "Star Trek actor" when he was so much more than that).

Entertainers have such strong impacts on our lives. We don't generally interact with them personally, but the way the move us with their craft gives us emotional ties that make losing them a profound loss.
 
user132126
@Catija Yes, true. Only a reboot would it be viable.
 
Am I bad person when I counter that with a little "meh"?
 
user132126
If they do another BSG I wonder if they'll keep Starbuck a woman.

@NapoleonWilson Some people feel that way, I suppose. When Prince died, many people cried. David Bowie. Robin Williams.
 
user132126
4:29 PM
When Robert Jordan died, my heart was heavy.
 
Well, they're free to feel that way.
 
I get upset but I don't usually cry... It's sad to lose people who have creative impacts on our lives but it's good to remember that the things they've done will be around for much time still.
 
Indeed.
 
I think what makes someone like Yelchin's death (or Ledger) so sad is his youth... that potential for there to have been so much more from them.
 
user132126
I've never cried, that's a little too emotional for me, but teary-eyed, sure.
 
user132126
4:32 PM
@Catija Exactly.
 
@Catija Indeed.
 
user132126
I have extended relatives I'd be less upset about dying that some actors/musicians >_>
 
Anyway, time for lunch. Back in an hour or so. :D
 
While Nimoy's death was certainly unfortunate, like every one of those, it's not like he was at the pinnacle of his youth either. And there probably wouldn't have been more than some Star Trek cameos to expect from him by then.
