@user9667 ... I changed the tag to your question because "the-prisoner" tag refers to a TV series. The better tag is "identify-this-movie" which I have placed in there for you. I hope your question is answered :D
Older movie was in color, probably technicolor, had a bit of a Cool Hand Luke feel to it, but I didn't see enough of the movie.
Starting point I saw was a cowboy guy robbing a bank alone, but walks into the vault and the teller slamming the door on him. He may have done it on purpose, as he lig...
What is the older movie where there is a castle in a bay that you cannot get to when the tide comes in? There is a little girl ghost that drowned in a wagon as they tried to leave the castle too late?
I saw a movie years ago with a pivotal scene toward the end where a young man had tied his mother to a chair and was screaming at her. I can't remember the context, but he was psychologically abusive, perhaps even physically abusive (details are hazy). Any idea what this could be from?
In Contact, the major point of contention in the later half is whether Eleanor had actually traveled to another planet or whether she was just hallucinating. Why couldn't they just try again with another person? Or a dozen more for that matter.
The machine had already been built and there is no...
Yep I know they were siblings but...throughout the movie, he only told Valentine what he feels...he saw her in a game...why not Petra? And I can feel that he loves her in different way...or maybe I have to read the book.
With just enough human drama to anchor the sweeping spectacle of giant monsters smashing everything in sight, Gareth Edwards' Godzilla satisfyingly restores the franchise's fire-breathing glory.
Pleasant to a fault, Million Dollar Arm is a middle-of-the-plate pitch that coasts on Jon Hamm's considerable charm without adding any truly original curves to Disney's inspirational sports formula.
Has there ever been a Family Guy episode that featured the screen porch?
I don't think I have ever seen an episode where the screen porch was featured.
@AnkitSharma Well, that has been discussed already. It was an awfully stupid question asking for the removal of one of the most important categories from the site based on a completely ridiculous premise. But it doesn't seem closable. But well, it isn't the only shitty proposal on meta anyway. If you disagree downvote it, and upvote the equally disagreeing answers.
@ChristianRau: Out of curiosity, do meta proposals stay there for life? Or if something is on, say, neutral or negative votes, does it get deleted after a certain period of time?
@AndrewMartin It doesn't get deleted. It's a Q&A site as any other. Which is why it's useful for discussions, but downright useless to record decisions and rules.
@AndrewMartin I would have said it's just you. But since I would say it is also me, and I guess the other ID-nonlikers would agree that it's them also, it seems more likely that it's not just us, but the site in general. But that is a subjective assessment entirely by me at the moment either. So I don't know and hope it is just us.
@ChristianRau: Yeah. I only notice because I rarely answer them as I'm fairly useless at that sort of question. It's certainly subjective, but it might be interesting to run a query on the site to find out. It wouldn't stop me coming back, but I'd be curious to know. Just a slow day in work and so all these thoughts are coming to the front!
@AndrewMartin There have already been some interesting queries in some of the thousands of related meta discussions. I'll see what I can find. But if you just want the numbers of questions, just look at the tags.
Or do you mean a query for the development of the ratio? Not sure how this can be done. Seems a beta site doesn't have access to SE's data functionalities.
@ChristianRau: I meant the development of the ratio. I didn't realise it couldn't access some of the functionalities. It's not really a big deal, I'm just curious to know
@AnkitSharma Hmm, strange, but better than nothing I guess, since most people seem to just agree with the question and thus nobody felt the urge to post an actual answer. Still, seems a bit odd this way.
I must admit I'm on shaking ground here, because I haven't seen it, I've just heard this movie menioned once (about five years ago?) - or at least I think it was a movie, but since I think it's based on a book, it may be the book I've heared mentioned. In retrospect, it may have been early talks...
@AnkitSharma Hah, you would wonder (or at least I do often) what stupid ID-questions can gather upvotes. I agree, it can get much worse, but this still doesn't make this question upvotable the slightest. But well, to each his own. Sad when some other great question then desparately waits for upvotes. But that's just the way it is, everybody is an ID expert and thus the target audience is much larger.
Sorry if my question is a silly one. I wasn't even born when the first ever Simpsons episode was aired. I am watching them from the beginning but I'm wondering was there any shows before the S1E01 - "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire" ?
In the 138th special episode (The Simpsons [7x10] The Simps...
@atticae Well, you don't need to be a hardcore fan to rewatch it now and then (or maybe I am a hardcore fan, well, to be honest I love this show). I haven't watched them in the original yet, anyway (which is a must, considering Cumberbatch's voice, I guess). So I'll keep this in mind. Thanks for the information.
@atticae I have to say that I don't like this approach so much (and don't think it applies too well to that Simpsons question anyway). It seems a bit too specific and those question can probably also be covered by production.
I recall another movie or perhaps television episode where a child was abused by a relative and then blamed himself (or maybe herself) for that relative's death. I remember that child wishing the relative's death, then feeling guilty when it actually happened. Any idea?
@MovieReel While it can get worse, we definitely need to better enforce all that common info time, location, origin, .... I'm fed up with writing my standard comment everytime. And if I get a response, it's a comment and not a question update. If we are to keep ID, improve the f**king quality standards!
Ok, I've at least commented and I guess I've chosen a new standard comment for that stuff. SE definitely needs a feature to store such thing in the profile somewhere. In the same way it annoys me to navigate to the canonical "accept" post everytime the need arises.
If a question requires you to ask for more information, a downvote is saying "this isn't up to snuff, fix yo shit"
If someone just doesn't want to improve after an influx of downvotes with requests for higher quality and standards, well I don't like them very much :P
Finally someone realized how nevertheless valuable and relevant an absolutely unlikely answer can still be if it adresses the question properly. (Beware: self-advertisement, feel free to dismiss)
@TylerShads Hmm, I don't want to be too impolite (or what many people would consider impolite at least) to a new user. Maybe, with IDs my downvote button sits a bit more loose anyway. Let's first check if it's an unregistered user, then he's fair game anyway.
@TylerShads There have been some in meta I guess (but I also guess you know them already).
I shouldn't have begone watching the "Hot Network Questions". Always upset when seeing such a question there. But well, even @Community likes them very much to poll them regularly.
@MovieReel C'mon, could you please stop this childish defiance! It doesn't help to strengthen your point in any way and you're really not making yourself honor this way.
When Bruce Wayne is in the prison-pit-thing, what is probably the president of the US appears on TV. Underneath, there are some subtitles, in some language. Screenshot:
What language is this? It doesn't look like any Indian script (the "Pit" was filmed in India) nor Arabic nor ancient Berber (...
for a very long time I have been looking for an animation I saw when I was a child. In it, some sort of parasite in the form of an egg yolk attached itself to the faces of its victims, then jumped at the next as soon as it was done with its previous host.
I wish I could give more specifics, but ...
Sherlock by far is the best tv series ever. I was watching the episode A Scandal in Belgravia the other day. Everything seemed fine but i didn't get the flight of dead part actually and those people in the beginning who reported of missing persons(2 girls, 0ne man with ashes). Also, the man dead ...
I didn't watch it in entirety, but I think there was a town where a landslide occurred or something like that, and men alike women all went to investigate a cave. They were attacked by some creatures, but almost all of them (dunno, probably someone got killed) escaped, but forgot one of their fem...
In the latest (UK) series, Ferran Adrià was prominently featured tasting the contestants food, possibly the most famous in a long line of critically acclaimed multi Michelin starred chefs.
Presumably they don't get paid much for appearing, and most of them have extremely long waiting lists for t...
The trailer for the new Christopher Nolan film "Interstellar" was just released. The music used is very familiar but I cannot pin down the source. It is present throughout the whole clip, but is most familiar from time index 1:25.
