Q: “Kubo and the Two Strings” symbolism?

JDługoszI just saw Kubo and the Two Strings, and everyone in my family wants to know “why is it called **two strings* when the shamisen he’s playing has three strings? In fact, the name of the instrument (三味線) literally means three strings. I thought it would be an alusion that would be clear some tim...

 
Erm, guys, can you help me with something? I'm not sure if just showing a picture is enough to identify a movie
 
11:15 AM
@BlueMoon93 you can try on chat but on main site image only ID are off topic
 
Thought so. Anyone recognize that dragon?
 
The NeverEnding Story (German: Die unendliche Geschichte) is a 1984 West German-produced English language epic fantasy film based on the novel of the same name by Michael Ende, about a boy who reads a magical book that tells a story of a young warrior whose task is to stop a dark storm called the Nothing from engulfing a fantasy world. The film was produced by Bernd Eichinger and Dieter Giessler and directed and co-written by Wolfgang Petersen (his first English-language film) and starred Barret Oliver, Noah Hathaway, Tami Stronach, Moses Gunn, Thomas Hill; and Alan Oppenheimer as the voices of...
 
That's The Never Ending Story
 
It was too easy

I saw that movie on TV years and years ago
I remember the dragon
looking like a tadpool
and the human face
but I wasn't even sure if it had been a dream or not
until I saw the meme

Q: British naval officer on remote island, surprise visit from ship

John CarpenterI believe this was one of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies but I've checked each one and can't find the scene. It's of a British naval officer in charge of a remote island outpost. A navy ship is seen approaching the island and the officer, clearly not expecting the visit, is desperately try...

Q: Why does the Genie wear cuffs again?

Cearon O'FlynnAt the end of Disney's Aladdin, Aladdin frees Genie with his last wish, and the cuffs, that are presumably keeping Genie imprisoned, vanish. These cuffs are still not present when Genie leaves to see the world. However When Genie returns in Return of Jafar, the cuffs are back. They a...

Q: Men in Black 1 uncredited actress

mikeWho is the actress playing his ex love interest who K is looking at from a satellite camera on his computer monitor, and at the end of the film he ends up with her. When I first saw her I thought she looked very like the british actress Diane Keen but she isn't in the credits so I cannot be sure

 
12:38 PM
So show of hands, who bet on Emma Stone winning Best Picture?
 
A J
@Walt hand down.
 
Don't look at me, it must be @DrRDizzle :P
 
@Walt Lol, I get it.
Gotta admit, I am surprised that Moonlight won Best Picture. I saw it last night and quite liked everything it was throwing out, but it seemed to lack a sense of closure to me. My money was on either Manchester by the Sea (very good) or La La Land (great).
 
A J
After watching Star Wars yesterday, I also got the joke by @Walt that he commented on my deleted post.

Q: What's the symbolism behind "The Frog Prince" fairy tale?

Chanandler BongIn the penultimate scene of the last episode of the third season of The Fall Rose is reading the The Frog Prince fairy tale to her daughter. It's the original version of the fairy tale, where the frog transformation is triggered by the princess not kissing, but hurting it. Why has this fairy tal...

Today is the first time in the history I watched Oscars live.
Did you too, @AnkitSharma?
 
yes
But I have not seen it fully
Missed a lot
 
A J
@AnkitSharma I missed the beginning, but saw the last 10 awards.
 
I missed beginning, end and all the drama and tribute part

Q: Can't remember film title

IanI'm struggling to remember much about a film that I can't get out of my head! Workers are asked to work late (it might be new years eve). They are promised their first office party if they finish the work. I think they are stuffing letters or invitations. In one seen an envelope or box drops ...

Q: At the Oscars, who decides where everyone sits?

Paulie_DThe Dolby Theatre in Hollywood is pretty large and has a lot of seats that are filled each year at the Oscar ceremony. But who gets invited and who determines where they sit? Are there rules or guidelines laid down...and by who?

 
1:23 PM
Oscar ruling the HNQ board today
@MovieReel Maybe a forth entry
 
A J
The only word missing in the last one is Oscars.
@AnkitSharma Only if four questions are allowed.
 
@AJ I have seen 4 question from our side at the same time in HNQ board
 
A J
ok
If it happens, that would be greaaat.
 
1:40 PM
I love when I'm the final vtc on an ID question :)
 
Uff the film I want to see are not getting good theaters nearby
Why so many films releasing this days.....grrrrrrrrrrrr
 
Next on my list is Logan
 
I wanted to catch Lion or Guardians, both are not nearly available
I will watch Logan but I have very less hope with fox
 
Logan I have a high amount of hope with because it seems like the visceral Wolverine story we never got, Jackman's final performance as the character (as well as Patrick Stewart) and I just feel like it will be a focused dramatic piece with a bunch of action in between. The Old Man Logan story is apparently really good which is what it is based on.
That being said Fox does have a spotty record that is all over the place but I'm excited regardless.
 
I did like deadpool and first class, rest Fox never did justice to X-men
You following Legion TV show?

Q: Horror movie about a girl who gets eye transplant and gets to see different lives of the past

D. FierlierI'm desperate to know the title of this movie I saw a couple of years ago. It's about a girl who gets eye transplant and after this she gets visions of different families in different countries in the past. Some of these families could be Mongolian and/or Japanese. I know the mother of the gi...

 
Jeez...My first M&TV question ever and it get's any anonymous DV. Some days it's really not worth getting out of bed.
 
Nope. Havent been following much TV at all. Wife and I binged Santa Clarita Diet mostly cause of the cast and it was the right amount of cheesy. But lately just been waiting for Iron Fist, House of Cards, Better Call Saul and Bojack
Deadpool was amazing and I now have great confidence in the sequel now that John Wick's director is doing it, First Class and Days of Future Past were well done but Apocalypse was lacking.
@Paulie_D Simple solution - never ask
 
@TylerShads Tried that and the cowardly...erm...people...just drive-by DV my answers too.
 
Hey, I'm not cowardly. If I could just have a marker on your answer that i downvoted to oblivion i would :P
 
2:24 PM
@steelersquirrel :-D

I've seen news coverage showing the card being held up and it's clearly not handwritten any more — Kate Gregory 10 mins ago
I never thought that people will pay attention to every word.

mornin
 
A J
Evenin
 
@AJ how goes it?
 
A J
Fine. Apparently, my cold is getting cured and I'm feeling better now.
What about you?
 
@AJ good!
@AJ I'm doing well, a bit tired and hungry cause I didn't get breakfast
 
A J
@DForck42 It's been more than 7 hours since I had lunch. I'm feeling hungry too.
 
3:03 PM
@AJ oh my
wooow, jungle book won best visual effects over both rogue one AND doctor strange?!
 
A J
@DForck42 Yes. I didn't expect it too.
 
@AnkitSharma lol
 
@AJ weird
the visuals in doctor strange are amazing

Q: Why don't they just escape from Negan?

CoalaI know living by the Saviors has a lot of advantages once you're one of them. Though, is there a reason nobody decides to escape even in the moments they're kind of sentenced to death (see Dwight in The Walking Dead - Hostiles and Calamities S07 E11 2017)?

 
@MovieReel Because then theyd have to make the show interesting after 6 years of being shit
 
A J
Haha
 
4:28 PM
@AnkitSharma So did I... ;)
 
hmmmm
 
A J
Two questions I answered are in HNQ.
And I already hit the Rep cap.
 
@AJ fun
@steelersquirrel welp, I've posted two
 
@Paulie_D Oh my. I really hope that getting down votes isn't that serious to you ;) Also...just a bit of advice: You put a target on your back when you complain about down votes in chat. I know that it's frustrating. Trust me, I know. You just have to accept the fact that some people just might not like your questions or answers. Other times...it's just people being assholes. Please don't worry so much about it and cheer up!! :)

Q: How is a film chosen to be eligiable for an Oscar?

DForck42There are plenty of movies released every year, but usually nominations for Oscars are boiled down to somewhere between 30-50. What makes a movie eligible to be considered for nomination for the Academy Awards?

0
Q: Why the disparities in number of nominations?

DForck42In the 89th annual Academy Awards, nine films were competing for Best Picture. However, in most other categories there are five or less nominations, with Best Makeup and Hairstyling having the least at three. Why is there such a disparity in the number of nominations? Surely there were more fi...

 
4:42 PM
@DForck42 Cool!
I smell a highly competitive ToW challenge coming on... ;)
All we need is for Ankit to post a question!!
 
I have none :(
 
GET ON IT ANKIT!!!
There's ToW questions hitting HNQ left and right! This is serious business!! It's mass hysteria!!!!!
3
 
@steelersquirrel to add, we don't complain or ask for explanation when someone upvotes, so why do we feel the need to demand for these when someone downvotes? they're both anonymous actions after all
3
 
@DForck42 OMG! Excellent point!!
 
@DForck42 Moslty because the anonymous aspect of it offers no route to suggest improvement. An upvote says "this is good" a downvote states "this is bad" People want to know why it was bad when they thought it was good.
 
4:48 PM
o/
 
</devil's advocate>
 
Another excellent point!!
Wow! Great points made by our former mods!!
 
I'm a former mod only in name
I still rule from the background
 
lol
 
4:50 PM
You'll see me in pt7 when they finally run out of money and have to come up with a way to justify my involvment in the previous 6 installments
 
I vote that we overthrow these jokers named Ankit and Napoleon :P
 
Uff I am obsessed with Iron fist trailer song
@steelersquirrel holy mother of shit, let me reload my DVD thrower
 
@TylerShads and some people will downvote stuff they don't care for without thinking it's a heinous crime, but people tend to treat downvotes as if that's what they are. people need to be aware that, as long as a post is in the positive it doesn't really matter. it's only when a post accumulates enough downvotes that it outweights the upvotes that it becomes an indicator that the post might have serious issues
 
But mah pointz
 
typically, if something is hideiously bad with issues people will vtc it
or flag it
 
4:52 PM
its also a pride thing, yeah? everyone wants to think theyre the infallible special snowflake and are never wrong
 
rep points aren't a score to measure yourself against others, it's a representation of the amount of quality and effort you've provided in the community
 
I also get single DV on many of my posts from my fan but I never give shit to them
 
But da pointz doe
 
@AnkitSharma Hehehe!!! Awwwww! I could never say that about you or Napoleon! You guys are the best!!
 
DVD thrower scare everyone \o/
 
4:54 PM
a part of me wishes that rep scores weren't visible, and we only had a progress bar to our next privileges
 
Yeah...but, some people are also delusional and think that everything they post is the best thing ever and it's just not.
 
Rep score is fun
Don't take it
Is judas contract a prequel film?
He is not Damian and look more of dick grayson
 
@AnkitSharma Probably.
 
@NapoleonWilson I tried but can't select chronological 400 msgs
 
@CreationEdge That's because it was explicitly scheduled as a live chat while wtaching it, not as a live ticker.
 
A J
5:01 PM
I was thinking I wouldn't be able to join Oscar chat event. But I did.
 
> and is both the prequel and sequel to Justice League vs. Teen Titans - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teen_Titans:_The_Judas_Contract
K
 
@skullpetrol Hardly.
 
@AJ I Dvr'd it. Jimmy Kimmel killed it! He was super hilarious! I thought that he handled the debacle at the end really well :)
@skullpetrol HAHAHA!!! Nice!!
 
A J
@steelersquirrel I watched it live and Star Movies rebroadcasting right now.
 
@steelersquirrel Well, it didn't have more upvotes at the time I had to decide about the next challenge. I'm sorry, this is not an easy decision to make.
 
5:05 PM
@AJ I fast forwarded pretty much everything ;)
@NapoleonWilson Sure. Can you just delete it then?
 
A J
@steelersquirrel I didn't as I watched it first time.
 
@AJ Sorry. I was talking about the Oscar ceremony. I fast forward through all of that crap ;)
 
@steelersquirrel Okay, wait a second. I seriously considered it. But 1) the votes were still in favour of the other thing and 2) it was quite a short notice. It's not like there can't be any exceptions made and maybe it was the wrong decision. But it's simply not an easy decision to make. Sorry it turned out unfavourable to you.
@steelersquirrel Wut! Why?
 
A J
@steelersquirrel I was talking about Oscars as well.
 
@NapoleonWilson Gheez. Calm down. It's not a big deal at all. I was just saying something about when unforseen circumstances arise.
Why are you getting so defensive? God. I just asked a question!
 
5:10 PM
@AnkitSharma As long as its not Teen Titans Go...
 
Lol
I like this new 52 animated film series, only issue is they need fillers to explain stuff
I mean give time to other characters too
 
@steelersquirrel I think he was trying to be nice, its' hard to tell how serious you are about something sometimes
 
@NapoleonWilson Because it's a tribute thing for right after someone dies. It's just silly if it's done too late.
 
@steelersquirrel I'm kind of thinking that, why dont' we do both concurrently?
I know it's more work for @NapoleonWilson, but this way we can both honor billy p AND do what was voted on
and already has submissions
 
@steelersquirrel Oh...okay... :'(
 
5:14 PM
@DForck42 This came up when Carrie Fisher and Debbie Reynolds died. SQB asked Napoleon for a special circumstance and Napoleon wouldn't bend the rules. Mass hysteria ensued ;)
 
@steelersquirrel well that's cause NW's a known woman hater ;-)
 
@Riker Oh, okay. Well, it's my bad then. I just misinterpreted things :)
@DForck42 ...Unless they are wearing plunging neckline dresses at the Oscars :P
 
@steelersquirrel lol
 
Hehehe!
@NapoleonWilson Would you stop crying? I'm just messing with you!
 
5:16 PM
O.o
Vote ended :(
 
What vote?

Q: The Gods Must Be Crazy

Ricsi PopI can't find this episode. I did belive that it has a third episode. I remember I saw it when I was a child, the story is based on that old black man (tribal cloth) is somehow transported to a western big city. The old man is housed at a young woman's house. I remember on a scene when the girlfr...

 
@steelersquirrel Okay.
 
@MovieReel Is there a question ?
 
5:25 PM
@AnkitSharma right?
 
"How fast can this be closed"
Thats the question
 
@NapoleonWilson I'm sorry. I understand that you need to make sure things are done correctly and I certainly wouldn't want you to bend the rules, especially when I am involved. Don't worry, silly bean! ;-*
 
@steelersquirrel It's okay, don't worry. ;-*
 
Can i please get my powers back to delete this shit? ^^^^^
 
@NapoleonWilson I'm stuck at my parent's house. The road is closed due to snow. I have so much to do today and it's driving me crazy that I can't leave!! :(
 
5:27 PM
@DForck42 I'm sort of disappointed that you've just banged out those questions without actually doing any research. Most of the rules you're asking about are in the respective pages for the specific awards.
2
 
@TylerShads ssshhhh, it MIGHT get fixed...
 
@TylerShads I don't see you delete-voting on anything with the powers that you still do have.
 
@Catija But they are valid nice questions
 
5:29 PM
there flagged the shit :P
 
WTF is up with the flagging in here?
Please don't flag stuff as a joke.
 
Oh my, I thought you meant the closed question. Are you f--king kidding me now?
 
When people say "flagged for ___" they don't actually flag.
 
Wut? Why did I just get flagged?
 
5:30 PM
@Catija there's nothing about the how on this wiki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_Award_for_Best_Picture
 
@steelersquirrel As kind of a misfired joke, I suppose. Please don't worry about it.
 
which is where most normal people would probably end up looking as it's linked from this years Oscar page
 
Hey we don't flag stuff here, go to neighbors house
 
no sense...Why do they flag?
 
5:31 PM
runs
 
@Catija I'm also not interested in nominations for specific categories as I mentioned in my comment, but rather is there a limiting factor before they are even eligible for a category
 
Oh, sure. @TylerShads throws flags around up in here and then runs away! ;)
 
@GuilhermeNascimento Wow you took screenshot and I even missed to notice it
 
@DForck42 All of the restrictions are different, is my understanding... and they generally relate to having been screened in X number of theaters before X date.
 
5:33 PM
@Catija ie, here's this giant pool of movies produce in 2016 from the world over, how do they cut that down into a meaningful lnumber to work with
 
@AnkitSharma I do not understand the reason for the flag :/
 
@GuilhermeNascimento It was a joke. Just move on.
 
it might be my lack of understanding on how it works
 
A really crappy joke.
 
@GuilhermeNascimento I am sure it was by mistake
 
5:34 PM
I'm still confused on why he chose those messages to flag as a joke ;)
 
@Catija Flags are a problem that affect every room on every network site.
@AnkitSharma Oh, ok :)
 
@GuilhermeNascimento Not this one.
 
But flags as joke made a big drama in Mos, so we should learn from it
Time to change the topic
#Kiwis
 
@Catija Did Ben finally go to sleep last night or did he stay up for the entire Oscar ceremony?
 
@steelersquirrel I had to go into the bedroom to get him to sleep.
 
5:37 PM
@steelersquirrel Did you seen Ben's pic when he taken over the TSR chat
 
@Catija I loved the pic of him at the keyboard with chat open! Hehehe!
Jinx!
 
My fav pic
 
@Catija The flag appears in all chat rooms of the network sites, this is very disturbing. I understand that this case was a mistake, but there are people using flags for anything, unnecessarily. Is a problem that already exists a few months ago.
I remember seeing a post on this at "meta.stackexchange.com".
 
OK, see ya. o/
 
5:39 PM
@GuilhermeNascimento The person you're complaining about is no longer in the room, so there's really no reason to keep on about it.

@Catija Thanks, now understand. ;)
Bye o/
 
After watching Ben using laptop, I want to adopt a kid and teach him using laptop and will make him CM
 
Catija.is.awesome.
2
 
My kid will be the first under 13 CM
 
@AnkitSharma Why adopt? As my brother in law likes to say...the best part about having kids is making them! ;)
 
5:42 PM
@AnkitSharma BABBY
@steelersquirrel ( ͡° ͜ʖ °)
 
@steelersquirrel You know for making kids what is more important?
 
tbf that didn't really need a lenny but why not
( ͡° ͜ʖ °)
@AnkitSharma people?
 
@AnkitSharma What?
 
and/or sex
 
2 beings of different sex
 
5:43 PM
Hello friends

17 hours ago, by Riker

Yes, Ankit. You need a male and a female ;)
 
wow what have I missed
 
5:45 PM
@steelersquirrel Or I need to become Arnold
Yeah we started talking about the ingredients of making babies
 
Good idea.
 
@Riker HAHAHA!!! Oh, God. No babies for the squirrel!! ;)
 
I am sure duct tape is not needed yet
 
@steelersquirrel lol
 
@AnkitSharma For making babies? o_O
 
5:48 PM
Argh! WTF just happened? Why did my messages get removed?
 
@steelersquirrel So that we can move on
 
We already were moved on!!!! ;-(
 
@steelersquirrel Because I brought it up after it was already setttled. I was busy and didn't catch up with chat fast enough. So I corrected my mistake. That's all.
 
Catija moved us on just fine!
@AnkitSharma HAHAHA! You need duct tape to impregnate Himarm's sister? ;)
 
5:50 PM
@Catija sorry, I think I confused. Thank you! I am happy for the great atmosphere and organization of this room, congratulations to all. :D
 
@steelersquirrel not that
It's for the kid if he make noise
 
@AnkitSharma I know. I was just being silly ;)

beep beep
Did you guys know about Boyinaband?
 
@AnkitSharma huh?
 
5:54 PM
He made this rap and reached fame
He do raised a good point
 
Never heard of it.
 
It's nice if you don't mind rap
He talks how useful stuff never got to learn in school but we learn unnecessary stuff
 
Well, I have known that for years ;)
 
lol
This video made a lot of positive/negative hype on YouTube back then
