vonPetrushevIn "The Big Lebowski", the main character, the Dude, tries, and fails, to deliver a quote from Lenin: It's like Lenin said, you look for the person who will benefit... And, uh... You know, you'll, uh... You know what I mean. What is the correct Lenin quote that he thinks of?

Q: What format would Lucy's knowledge be saved as?

James LynchNearing the end of Luc's sci-fi film Lucy, she says, "I'll download my knowledge...". Then, at the very end, her knowledge is saved to a hard drive. My question is, what format would it be in, and how could it possibly be read by a computer so lacking in computing power compared to her "computer ...

Q: 2 men follow a woman who is buried alive and rescued by priest

LoraI remember seeing a film years ago that I really enjoyed, but sadly have forgotten most of. I remember the ending involved a woman being buried alive and then rescued by a priest who she later discovered had been dead at the time. The movie also involved two men who looked alike and dressed in ...

Q: What old 50's or 60's Sci Fi movie is this scene from?

DCookieI remember watching an old Sci Fi movie scene where some guy is stumbling down a staircase going around one of those big spherical gas storage tanks. His hand was on the tank as he went down, leaving a dark streak on the tank. I know it's ancient and obscure, but from time to time it flashes i...

Q: A movie about a Soviet(?) ballet composer?

treehandsI'm looking for this movie, but I barely remember it. It seemed to be from the 2000's and I'm not sure but I think it wasn't in English. It was a very cute film, about an ageing Soviet composer (maybe Russian? Or German? Don't remember) that had written some ballet or orchestral piece that never...

Q: 80s/90s obscure movie taking place in boys bedroom

user18423My daycare provider played this movie for us and can't find anything about it online. What I remember: opening credits are animated but the movie is not.

The Boy Next Door may get a few howls out of fans of stalker thrillers, but for most viewers, it won't even rise to "so bad it's good" status.

Like most modern animated movies, Strange Magic is lovely to look at; unfortunately, there isn't much going on beneath the surface.

Aggressively strange and willfully unfunny, the misguided Mortdecai sounds a frightfully low note in Johnny Depp's post-Pirates filmography.

Q: Dancing scene from another movie/video in "Silver Linings Playbook"

F0GWhile working on their own performance Tiffany & Pat are watching a video, where two men are dancing on the table, than they jump down and continue dancing on the floor. I guess this scene is from another movie as I'm quite sure I've already seen it earlier. Does anybody now from which movie/vide...

Niklas RosencrantzIIRC there was a TV series where the hero at night was flying over the city and he had some glow from his eyes and a blue superhero suit. Which was it?

A: How do weekly topic challenges work?

Christian RauMovies & TV beta once had a Topic of the Week a looong time ago until it wore off after some months. But inspired by your excellent meta question, there was then a rather inofficial Biweekly Topic Challenge for Interstellar proposed by a single user as a kind of proof of concept and it did very w...

Q: Who is this actor?? (and from what movie is he?)

who is he....I saw him at 00:00:49 in "Blame it on girls, Blame it on boys (Gtm Montage) (JJFanvids)" in youtube. I went to Google Images and drag the picture to the search box to find him, but I can't find who he is.

@MovieReel Unregistered with username "who is he...", gotta love that ID stuff. You'd think graduation period should be a promising outlook instead of strengthening the feeling that the whole project will finally go to the dogs afterall.

Q: Can't remember movie/TV show, end scene about a man on his death bed.

user18427So all i can remember about this movie/TV show is that it involved a woman who was abused by her father or something along those lines, and there is a scene at the end where the abusive father is on his death bed. The woman and the male protagonist go visit him and the male protag insults him and...

@ChristianRau I like challenges. Maybe there'd be a way of featuring them more prominently on the main M&TV page once we graduate, rather than off to the side in a tiny box. And it could be that Mann's and Depp's new films flopping just turned people off, so don't be discouraged.
 
3:51 PM
@Walt Yeah, I shouldn't complain. I planned to rewatch Thief and make a comparative study between L.A. Takedown and Heat but didn't get around to it either. I'm putting some hopes on the Oscar challenges, though, even if I haven't seen a single one of those Best Picture nominees yet at all. I'm just not a big biopic enthusiast, but at least I hope to catch Birdman right in time and always wanted to see Grand Budapest Hotel anyway.
@Walt If it had been out here already, I would definitely have gone to Blackhat. No matter the bad reviews, it's Mann afterall, so cinema is duty at least!
@Walt I don't think there are many capabilities to further highlight it. Most people just won't pay the attention anyway, and those who will already know where to look. In the past I've seen a line at the top of the page instead of a box at the side, but I don't know if that's still done (maybe only for really serious stuff) or if this was the predecessor to the current bulletin...
...But I think an event in the bulletin should also be largely enough. It just happens too often to always shove it into everybody's face each time. At some point we don't want annoy people either. Those who care know where to find it and those who don't aren't bothered. Those who would care will sooner or later get around to it, I hope.
