Q: what is the name of this movie about a girl trying to find her father?

user27766it's about two girls. one girl is trying to find her father, and another girl joins her on this quest, and they travel around trying to find her father together, and i'm pretty sure her friend (who has short hair) is gay. It's chasing....something. All I know is that it starts with chasing. thank...

Q: Breaking Bad (SPOILER [s5]) - About Todd

user3574984I've recently finished Breaking Bad, and although I really loved some characters such as Walt and Jesse, I feel weird about Todd. Even if many characters have multiple personalities, they tend to stick with their ideals without strong spikes while Todd goes from overconfident to clumsy and from h...

Q: Down-Voting Total Beginners

Daniel StowersIs down-voting total newbies really necessary? We've all been in the position of being new to this site. I found it quite hard myself initially, but after some helpful comments I was able to think about how to write better and more appropriate questions AND answers.

 
1:52 AM
@Catija @randal'thor @steelerfan - You guys can't keep the party going without me? And what the hell happened to Most Eisley?
 
2:04 AM
@CapyStenchbeast The same that happened to all the other rooms: people can't friggin stop talking about what happened. ;-P
 
@NapoleonWilson That's unfortunate, but it couldn't be more clear that I had nothing to do with that one, which is a win in my book. :)
 
I'm on my way to a literal party at a friend's house. How was your dinner @CapyStenchbeast some nice cunchies that make gravy when you add water, perhaps?
 
I never set foot in most eisley so... But I thing Shog really doesn't like getting interrupted on the weekends.
Think... Bah I can't edit when I'm on mobile.
 
What is a "literal party"? Is this something literary? Or is this "literal" in contrast to not an actual party?
 
2:12 AM
@Catija Beef stew. Capy will get her share before bed.
 
@NapoleonWilson yes, the latter.
 
Interesting that another meme I found in my google search was this. So much to that ;-)
 
It feels like it's 10 pm but it's only 8:15. Stupid daylight savings time.
 
Better than 3:15.
 
I wish there was some way I could post an apology in SF&F meta for my part in all of this, but it wouldn't do anything positive aside from making me feel better, and it might stir up the hornets' nest even more, if that's possible (plus I would presumably get in even more trouble).
@NapoleonWilson Not as good as 5:15.
 
2:15 AM
@CapyStenchbeast Yeah, I'd advise against something like this. If anything you can do that next week.
 
@CapyStenchbeast My oppresive totalitarian government is blocking this link. ;-(
 
@NapoleonWilson BOO!
 
I think Shog's answer is right... More people need to stand up and say "shut up about this topic or leave" than to merely let it go on.
 
@NapoleonWilson coughing furiously hola more coughing
@Catija Right, but highly unlikely to happen.
SF&F isn't good at letting sleeping dogs lie, but we excel in the field of flogging deceased equines.
Now THAT is the real Capy (about a year and a half ago).
@NapoleonWilson - I have never wanted to eavesdrop on the Teachers' Lounge quite as much as I do right now. :)
Also, I read some interesting things about the new Star Wars movie, which is actually on topic here!
 
2:27 AM
@CapyStenchbeast Nothing too special, they have other problems, too. The SciFi rooms are simply "under surveillance", but that is probably clear.
@CapyStenchbeast Of course it is!
 
@NapoleonWilson You don't say? Who'd have thunk it?
 
3:02 AM
Anyway, good night! The lack of actual Star Wars news made me tired. \( ̄o ̄)/
 
@CapyStenchbeast Bond movie marathon. Have to work tonight. Relaxing :)
 
@NapoleonWilson Goodnight. I'll post some links in a bit.
 
View to a Kill. Not a great movie, one of the best Bond movie songs :)
@CapyStenchbeast The new room is Cantina something or other......
@NapoleonWilson awwww you're leaving?? :(
 
4:05 AM
@Walt Nice find on the ID tv show bounty question. I have been trying to find that for the past 4-5 hours. It was driving me crazy!!! I'm not worthy!
 
Phew. I just spent an hour writing an email to Her Royal Slytherincessness.
 
Poor Slytherincess. She is probably curled in a fetal position over all of this.
 
@steelerfan She seems to be in good spirits, actually. She asked me to explain what happened. It took me an hour to finish. Apparently, she's fighting to save Mos from permanent deletion.
I don't understand how deleting the room would change anything - a new room will take its place, under the same name or a different one, and the same problems will happen there.
The answer is either "let's solve this together and figure out how to have a viable SF&F chat room without endless problems", or "ban chat from SF&F altogether". The latter would probably just lead to SF&F people gathering in one chat room on another SE and, again, having the same problems. The only way the problems end is if we reach a collaborative solution - users, mods, CMs, and owners - together.
@NapoleonWilson (he said, trying to get off the subject of SF&F) - for Star Wars rumors, start here:

 Star Wars Death Star

Where all of Star wars can be discussed, spoilers and all.
 
4:49 AM
@steelerfan Oh, it was driving me crazy too. ;) (When it was originaly posted as well, but I couldn't figure it out then. I was sure the title was a place, but kept thinking about Falcon Crest for some odd reason. :/)
[Chat room] <blink blink> I guess I have some catching up to do...
 
5:43 AM
@Walt You could probably ignore everything from the past 24 hours and not miss anything related to this site. :)
 
6:35 AM
@Richard - Please don't answer the question I just asked. It wouldn't be fair. No one from SF&F should answer. I'll explain why later.

Q: Comedy about a red slime monster alien devouring a spaceship's crew

Capy StenchbeastI saw a movie when I was about 5 years old, and the cartoonish antagonist in it became the monster under my bed. Here's what I remember: Saw it in circa 1983, probably on HBO; I don't think it came out more than a year or two earlier. Probably American. Low budget, probably straight to video...

Q: Might have been Sailor Moon or something similar

amanda maiI watched it when I was younger; 2004 or 2005. There was an evil lady who owned this flying ship. She hypnotized these children into sleep walking onto the ship and a band of girls had to try and save the children together.

 
@Walt - You're fast. Confession: I knew the name already, but I wanted to see how long it would take for someone to identify it. I have discussed it on SF&F, which is why I didn't want people who saw the discussion to answer. FWIW, you took about 10 minutes less than SF&F did.
 
7:07 AM
@CapyStenchbeast Do you really think that is going to happen? ;)
@CapyStenchbeast Walt has super human powers.
 
@CapyStenchbeast Oh, I see... ID Olympics, is it?
 
@Walt Hey there :)
 
I don't even remember if I saw the movie (probably did as a kid), but I definitely saw the song before.
 
@Walt I am glad you answered it while Richard is asleep ;)
 
@steelerfan Hi! So I went on one vacay and all of SF&F imploded?
 
7:15 AM
@Walt sigh. I believe it is all explained on Meta over there.
 
And now our chat's been seajacked. I guess Stenchbeast's the capy now. :P
We celebrated Friday the 13th with a horror crapfest.
 
@Walt Capy is very talkative ;)
 
@steelerfan Goody. Our chat's rarely sectioned into hours
 
@Walt I completely spaced that it was Friday the 13th yesterday :(
 
@steelerfan Bummer. I think the next one's in May
 
7:22 AM
@Walt Crapfest?
 
@steelerfan All the usual suspects: Troll 2, Lepus, Birdemic
 
@Walt ahhhhh, I see :)
Capy!! You're back!!!
@CapyStenchbeast did you change your pic?
 
@Walt It's one of the most obscure movies I've ever seen, so I'm curious as to how many people know of it. It took me 20 years to find it.
@steelerfan Yep.
Baby Capy.
 
@CapyStenchbeast I don't think baby capy could be any cuter.
 
@CapyStenchbeast Goes against common knowledge that Nielsen parodies only got crappier later in his career. He made this thing right after Airplane!. :/
@steelerfan I did see his name here a lot in the last few hours... so that's why? And he has a zillion badges there and only 1 point?! :( Definitely need to catch up...
 
7:27 AM
@CapyStenchbeast Worst movie ever made? I think that one goes to "Howling 2 My Sister's a Werewolf"
 
@steelerfan You don't wanna open that can of worms, trust me. I specialize in worst evers. :O
 
@steelerfan Fact.
 
@Walt Yeah. It is depressing that all of that happened yesterday :(
@Walt Really? Do you like the ones that the Scyfy network puts out?
 
@steelerfan And while vacaying, I didn't even hear about Paris. :( Very sobering news
 
@Walt Yeah. Yesterday really sucked. Where did you go on vacation?
 
7:30 AM
@steelerfan It shouldn't be. I don't know about DVK, but I, and I would think Richard, are okay with it, albeit annoyed. The world goes on.
 
@steelerfan It's not a matter of like, TBH. There was just a time in my life when I obsessively hunted down the world's worst films. And then searched for the films that fans of bad films warned to avoid.
 
@CapyStenchbeast I know that you guys are ok with it, I was still depressed about it.
 
@steelerfan Just with buds
@CapyStenchbeast I'll try to make it 5 mins next time ;)
 
@Walt Well, I always await the new movie on that network. Recent favorite was whalewolf vs. sharktopus
 
@CapyStenchbeast Thanks for the subtle hints ;)
 
@steelerfan I'm guessing these things are just like 20% new footage now
 
@Walt Yeah. They are very comical. It is a big deal for my nephew and I to watch those together. They are a guilty pleasure of ridiculousness.
 
Hey, let's mash these 2 topics together!
@steelerfan But I'm a purist, worst evers can't be self-aware ;)
 
@Walt True. That is why my pick HAS to be Howling 2. I am sure that you guys probably have worse ones. I have never even heard of that Leslie Nielsen one.
 
7:37 AM
@steelerfan Watching a lot of MST certainly helped
 
@Walt I counter with the best cover(s)/mashup ever.
 
@Walt I am sorry to say I have never watched MST. I don't think it was even available where I live.
 
@Walt You started it!! :))
 
@steelerfan That's OK, it's not for everyone. I even don't like a lot of eps. But some of them are amazing.
 
7:41 AM
Nothing like Capy's crazy pictures ;)
 
Are you boys cooking in there?
No.
Are you building an interocitor?
NO!
 
Capy you so funny ;)
 
@steelerfan I'd put up Ra-On's Psy cover, but I think there's a rule against linking anything Psy
 
@Walt I wouldn't know. I am sure Capy does.
 
@CapyStenchbeast NORMAL VIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
One of my faves
 
@CapyStenchbeast Bless their hearts
 
Did you hear that Joel has a Kickstarter to bring back the show?
 
@CapyStenchbeast And reunite with Rifftrax somehow?
I do miss the MST format. On the other hand, Rifftrax solved the copyright issue.
 
I dunno, I just read that he is promising 3 episodes for a couple million dollars, and another episode for every X amount of money after that.
 
@CapyStenchbeast Was that a Kickstarter or a ransom note?
I'd pay, either way
 
7:48 AM
One or the other. It's just a show, we should really relax.
 
@CapyStenchbeast Wow, it's only a few days old. And he already got almost 2 mil :) Unsurprising
@CapyStenchbeast Always pissed me off that the release was botched. It deserved better
 
I wasn't keeping up with what was happening, just accepting new stuff passively when it fell into my lap.
I'm just glad we're getting more soon.
 
@CapyStenchbeast With just Joel riffing? (I'm guessing not)
 
@Walt I hope not. I'm sure he has the bots around somewhere. :)

Q: How does Mike eat and breathe?

@CapyStenchbeast Expected the date to be April 1 there
 
7:58 AM
No, that was one of @Richard's "F you, I'm a mod, I can ask joke questions" posts. Sometimes he does that. Even though he is no longer a mod, sadly.
Alright, folks, I'm off to bed. See you tomorrow, probably.
 
@CapyStenchbeast G'night :)
 
@CapyStenchbeast We had the decency to do it on April fools. At my expense. :) (Thoroughly enjoyed it, too)
@CapyStenchbeast Night, and thanks for giving me yet more stuff to read. :) (That's some detailed Kickstarter.) I'm already trying to figure out that event you don't want mentioned over at you know where.
@steelerfan I guess I'll be off too to do some reading. But FIY, my IMDb rating list (my surrogate movie memory) contains plenty of perfect 1's. Just say the word. :)
 
@Walt I will keep that in mind. Have a good night :)
 
@steelerfan Only just noticed the bounty wasn't even from the OP. That's dedication!
Night
 
@Walt I thought it had to be from the OP?
 
8:31 AM
Tired reading all that i missed.
@CapyStenchbeast I am afraid of later one. ;)
 
@AnkitSharma I never bother :)
 
I mostly do read all chat from our room but miss it sometime too
 
Pretty sure it will be like this for the next week.
 
Yeah
And after that there will be long silent :D
 
8:48 AM
Probably. All of the Sci-fi people seem to be in shock that there aren't as many people in here that there is over there. But, there also isn't the "issues" in here because of that.
 
Now its proved that more people bring more trouble too :D
 
Exactly!
 
You are in night shift, even on weekend ?
 
Yes. I am ALWAYS on night shift on the weekends.
 
ohhhh
I hate night shifts
 
8:58 AM
I got a promotion though. I am nursing supervisor in ICU. It does not start until the first of the year. I am still negotiating with them about my salary. If I loose my overnight weekend shifts, it actually won't be a pay raise because I hit overtime by Friday afternoon and I get a shift differential for overnight shifts.
 
Done for 2 years on alternate routine
@steelerfan Congratulations
 
I actually love night shifts. It is quiet and nothing much happens. Day and swing shifts in ICU are pretty hectic. I hate being on shift when we have to take a patient off of life support. That always happens on day or swing shift.
@AnkitSharma Thanks!
 
@steelerfan but in my case, it made me less social. I remain out of major decision of my team. Eating order disturbed and then i got ulcer
So i have reason to hate it
 
@AnkitSharma Oh, I'm sorry :( I get the less social part.....that is why I am usually in here bugging you guys :)
Don't users have to give their own rep if they put a bounty on their question?
 
@steelerfan yes
It got deducted from them
 
9:06 AM
@AnkitSharma Walt was saying that one that he had answered wasn't put up by the OP. I was just curious what he meant by that.
 
@steelerfan Anybody can put bounty, even i can put bounty on your question.
So he mean that question has bounty from someone else then OP
 
@AnkitSharma Oh. gotcha. So, if any one of us happens to think the question is good and needs an answer, we can put up a bounty and the rep would be deducted from our rep?
 
@steelerfan exactly
 
@AnkitSharma OK. Understand now :)
 
:)
AHhhh Facebook again started change you profile picture to support x cause.
 
9:11 AM
I have no idea about facebook. I don't have a facebook account anymore.
 
Ohhh
This days Facebook give option to add affect in you image to support digital India etc etc. This time its to support France and the people of Paris.
 
@AnkitSharma That's cool. I haven't even watched the news regarding that today. Was it a terrorist attack?
 
I know about it quite less
Need to read it but got stuck in here
 
I need to go check MSN. I got sidetracked today as well.
 
@steelerfan Not that cool when people take it as ice bucket challenge and forgot the reason behind it.
 
9:19 AM
@AnkitSharma Are you frigging serious? They are doing ice bucket challenges for the Paris incident? NOT COOL!!!!
 
Last time one of my known person used rainbow flag effect on Facebook to support gay rights without knowing what was it for
@steelerfan nooooooo. You took it wrong. I mean people use this facebook effects without knowing the reason behind it
Ice bucket was just an example
 
@AnkitSharma Did they just like how the rainbow effect looked?
@AnkitSharma Oh, sorry. I was thinking that was a bit insensitive for someone to do ;)
 
@steelerfan people are that dumb sometime
It was like this
 
@AnkitSharma Yeah. It is pretty universal (at least in the states) what the rainbow flag represents :)
 
@steelerfan I think outside US rainbow flag meaning is not that clear
But its dumb that that person didn't read the text below the effect about its meaning
 
9:24 AM
@AnkitSharma Gotcha. It is VERY clear over here.
@AnkitSharma Did they not want to support gay rights?
 
@steelerfan he didn't know that he was supporting gay rights
Anyways i do support gay rights but will not choose Facebook image effects for it
I shared this one at that time ^ :D
 
@AnkitSharma Ha! LOL!! :)
 
India did allowed gay marriages long ago then US incident but then it was disallowed by supreme court
 
I am sure it will be legal everywhere within the next 5-10 years.
I don't really care either way. What consenting adults do in the privacy of their own homes is none of my business.
 
hmmm

Q: Did Jesse do the right thing when he betrayed Walt?

They both lost everything when Jesse decided to help Hank, if he solved his dispute with Walter by himself he would have been tortured, Hank would not have got killed and possibly Walter would have passed away rich and happy on his bed surrounded by his children. ...

12:38 PM
@steelerfan I'd agree with the song, but I also think it's great movie, one of Moore's best IMHO.
@steelerfan I have to sleep some time, and it was 4:00.
@CapyStenchbeast Interesting.
Oh, so the chatroom-inspired game questions are starting here, too? Meh, if it was another question category it'd probably be more fun. But at least it's quite a good one, for ID that is. ;-)
 
1:14 PM
@NapoleonWilson My favorite Bond movie is "The Spy Who Loved Me" Although Moore is one of my least favorite Bond's, it is the very first Bond movie that I saw, so it will always be my favorite. A View to a Kill isn't bad, just isn't that great. Christopher Walken was a plus.

@NapoleonWilson Sleep? What's that? ;)
 
1:54 PM
Hey, Captain Bringdown here.
1. Apparently people are confused by the word 'answerable' in 'Identification questions must contain sufficient detail to be answerable'. 'What's the film with a boy and alien friend with glowing finger thanx' sure is answerable; however, it's a very poor question. Any chance to reword that?
 
@Walt Maybe that might not be the worst idea.
I just saw your comment and I love it!
 
2. This. I literally have no idea what's going on there and how it's still open.
3. This. No idea what's up there too.
@NapoleonWilson Oh, you mean 3?
 
Especially since I think a certain very avid user has taken it upon himself to upvote and reopen vote very poor ID questions he answered, which somehow doesn't seem to collide with his supposedly tremendously high quality standards. (But that might just be a wrong impression.)
@Walt Indeed.
 
@NapoleonWilson Not blaming anyone. And certainly appreciate the activity from that user. SF&F are used to different ID standards, and that's fine.
 
@Walt Sure. And of course I also appreciate his answers. I'd also like to attribute it more to confusion, rather than hypocrisy or malice.
 
2:00 PM
@Walt I had that same question yesterday. Napoleon re-worded the question. I tried to answer it pertaining to the actual movie and try not to make it a "Historical" answer.
 
@steelerfan Nothing against your answer either. I'm just baffled. They might as well ask what the protagonist of the Matrix was called.
This has been my weekly quota of bile :P
 
@Walt Yeah, I was a bit baffled by the question yesterday. The way Napoleon re-worded makes a lot more sense than it first did. I almost thought it was a joke at first.
 
@Walt Well, I think he's just never heard about the Vietnam War, and I'm not sure it's ever mentioned in the movie. Sure, that's quite a bit remote, but there are countries where that might not be upon every curriculum (and that might not already have a picture from the millions of other TV-shows/movies that mention it). When we then factor in the minimum SE-age of 13...
But granted, it's not a particularly good question.
 
@NapoleonWilson Sorry, I don't accept this. If they found us, they could write the film's name anywhere and get the answer.
 
Gheez. If the user has internet access and can post on this site, they should know about the Vietnam War.
 
2:04 PM
@steelerfan Indeed
@MovieReel And now I'm wracking my brain trying to think if Hermione had her wand there
 
Granted, even if I'm still not sure it warrants closing.
 
@NapoleonWilson I'm 200% sure, but hey
 
I think the question was greatly improved though.
 
@Walt Then I hope you also eagerly made use of your downvoting ability to show your discontent with the question.
 
@NapoleonWilson Which were kinda wasted, apparently
 
2:10 PM
@Walt What was wasted? A downvote is never wasted if you think the question is bad. It's there to show exactly that.
 
@NapoleonWilson Just whinging
 
@NapoleonWilson Are you getting Steelers vs. Browns game today?
 
@steelerfan No.
 
Also, I dv'ed something into -1 and reversed it when the q improved, but it only became a 0. Could've swore it was 1 when I did it before.
 
@Walt Just reversing a downvote of course only adds 1, upvoting then adds another 1.
 
2:13 PM
How can an answer be accepted by OP and then another answer be accepted?
 
@NapoleonWilson But you can only reverse it by upvoting. And it only became a 0.
Maybe the rules changed?
 
@Walt Huh? You can just take back the downvote. You don't have to also upvote it, though.
 
@steelerfan They can switch to another one
@NapoleonWilson How?
 
@Walt Oh. I had no clue that was possible.
 
@steelerfan Acceptance can always be changed at will of the accepter.
@Walt Uh, click the downvote button again?
 
2:14 PM
@NapoleonWilson Ohhhhhhhh... doh
 
@steelerfan That's a very good (and necessary) thing, there can always be a better answer coming around the corner.
 
@NapoleonWilson Yeah, I posted an answer yesterday to a question and an answer was already accepted and then my answer was accepted. I was just confused. Understand now :)
 
@NapoleonWilson Now it briefly turns into -2! And displays this: "You last voted on this question 16 hours ago. Your vote is now locked in unless this question is edited." :(
I... made a mess.
 
@Walt Of course, you can only change your voting when the post changes, has always been that way.
 
@NapoleonWilson So re-edit (if it's justified, anyway), dv twice and then uv? Yikes
 
2:22 PM
@Walt I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
What do you actually intend to do?
 
@NapoleonWilson I dv'd something to -1. Then uv it to 0 (instead of clicking dv again, apparently, and then uv). I want it to have +1 because it's pretty good now.
 
@Walt Sounds like something I would do ;)
 
@Walt You don't need to click the downvote button if you want to change the downvote into an upvote, just click the upvote button.
 
@steelerfan I'm somehow still learning... :O
@NapoleonWilson I can't click it twice.
 
@Walt Maybe someone just downvoted it at the exact same time, making your actual +2 into just a +1.
 
2:27 PM
@NapoleonWilson Um. Now you're just messing with me...? :P
 
@Walt Why click it twice? I have serious understanding issues right now, maybe it's really just me.
 
@NapoleonWilson "I dv'd something to -1. Then uv it to 0 (instead of clicking dv again, apparently, and then uv). I want it to have +1 because it's pretty good now." I don't know how else to explain it, sorry. :( It's a 0 now and the uv is highlighted, so I can't click on it.
 
@Walt Am I right: You had already downvoted it and wanted to upvote it now, so you clicked the upvote button and expected the score to effectively rise by 2? If yes, then yes, that's exactly what should have happened. If not and it only rose by 1, then yeah, something extrordinary hapened.
 
@NapoleonWilson No, I dv'ed it from 0 to -1. Then uv'ed it back to 0.
 
"instead of clicking dv again, apparently, and then uv" - That's not necessary anyway, no need to mention this.
 
2:30 PM
@NapoleonWilson But you said that's how you cancel a dv.
 
@Walt That seems to be exactly what I said?
 
@NapoleonWilson Oh, right. Sorry, thought you said the score was 2, then 1
 
@Walt If you want to only cancel the downvote but not upvote it, too. Then you click the downvote button to revert the vote. If you want to upvote it, you can just click the upvote button.
 
@NapoleonWilson And that was supposed to give the OP 2 points? Because it didn't
 
@Walt What question are you talking about?
 
2:31 PM
@Walt Then that upvote should indeed have resulted in a net of 1 score afterwards. If it only stayed 0, then yeah, something happened. Maybe someone really just downvoted at the exact time. Have you checked the vote balance?
 
@NapoleonWilson Yeah, I have. No one did that.
@steelerfan This one
 
@Walt It currently has -1/+1, so someone did downvote it. And if you say it was at -1 when you had downvoted it, then someone else has downvoted it meanwhile, after you reverted your vote.
 
@Richard Nice avatar
@NapoleonWilson Oh. So the +1 and -1 aren't both me?
 
@Walt At least I've never heard of this being possible. I guess someone really just downvoted it at roughly the same time you changed your vote.
 
That would make sense. So it's just a freak thing
Phew. Thanks
 
2:36 PM
@Walt It is Capy's fault ;)
 
@steelerfan Ah, a much better explanation
Pups are incorrigible
 
Well, dogs always do stupid things, wouldn't have happened with a cat, I guess.
 
@NapoleonWilson Because they lack the wits to do anything? :P
 
@NapoleonWilson My sister's cat is pure evil.

Q: Why has Tian Ji'an's wife ordered to kill Nie Yinniang's uncle in "The Assassin"?

GreenBearIn "The Assassin" (2015) killing Tien Xing, Yinniang's uncle, does not seem to be of any benefit to Lady Tian, Tian Ji'an's wife. Yet it seems that it was her, who ordered to bury Tien Xing alive. Why did she do that?

 
@steelerfan Oh, Facebook is definitely something I won't stand behind :P
It's just getting clunkier with every 'improvement'

@Walt I just couldn't take it anymore. Why do I need to see the 112th picture of your damn kid that looks like all of the other ones? And then get irritated at me because I don't make a comment about it.
 
I never even actively used Facebook at all, and I didn't ever have an account.
I liked the movie, though, even if it might be a bit overrated.
 
I also refuse to take selfies. It is a matter of principle.
 
@steelerfan Pretty much ditto. Only with viral videos.
 
@Walt Or those damn inspirational quotes. ugh.
 
@steelerfan Geez, I forgot about those
@steelerfan But that stick's so convenient :P
 
2:54 PM
@Walt Maybe if I was 14 :)
Finally off work!! Later everyone :)
 
@steelerfan Ah sweet freedom. Enjoy
 
I only ever did a single selfie, with an actual camera. But it looks great since it's ORANGE and reminds me of my father.
 
@NapoleonWilson Your... your father was orange? I'm afraid to ask
 
@steelerfan Good luck!
@Walt No, those two factors aren't correlated.
 
@NapoleonWilson Oh, I see :S
So you just look like him there?
 
2:58 PM
A bit, but still quite different.
 
@NapoleonWilson Cool. I have my father's look but my mother's eyes.
...Wait, that's Potter.
 
@Walt I was about to mention that actually.
 
@NapoleonWilson I'm pretty sure I'll cease to exist if pop references are ever outlawed. I'm comprised of nothing else

Q: Name of the 70's or 80's family fun movie (set on an island) and the indigenous people eat some type of "Drug Chocolate Bar"?

MarcThere is a movie in the 1980's (maybe 70's) where there is a Hawaiian-type island. The local islanders eat some type of "Bongo Bars" or "Drug Cake bar" and it makes them go spacey or something. every time they eat the "bongo bar" (or whatever its called), there is a funny 'Boing' Noise. its a f...

Q: Comparison between Google and Big Brother 1984

pat27What extract of the movie 1984 would be the most relevant to show the similarities with between Google and Big Brother.

 
Why is Napoleon looking like his parents a pop colture reference? I'm confused.

...Wait, that's Potter.
That was the reference, I presume.
 
Oh, Harry potter. That explains it. I know absolutely nothing about that.
 
WUUUT?

Richard actually complimented me on one of my answers. <flailing on the floor in shock>;)
I haven't seen any HP movies :(
 
Well, you tend to write pretty good answers afterall.
@steelerfan Oh my!
 
Thanks. Coming from both of you, I take that as a huge compliment :)
 
@steelerfan Don't watch the films, read the books.
(if I'm allowed to say that on M&TV?) :-P
 
@NapoleonWilson The only reason I would have to watch would be Alan Rickman. Other than that, I have no desire.
 
@randal'thor You're not!
 
4:39 PM
@steelerfan Alan Rickman portrays an excellent character very well indeed.
 
@randal'thor ugh. I don't care about wizards and such.
 
Spoilers, though
@NapoleonWilson Uh-oh [scuttles back to hide in the wreckage of Mos Eisley]
 
@randal'thor Meh, I'm pretty sure some regulars even agree with you on that.
 
@randal'thor He ALWAYS plays good characters. He's Hans Gruber for christ's sake :)
@randal'thor Spoilers?
 
@steelerfan Telling you much about Alan Rickman's character in HP and why he's so good would involve some big spoilers.
 
4:44 PM
@randal'thor Do tell. I don't care about spoilers.
 
HP isn't anywhere near as good as it's made out to be, IMO - except for one aspect, namely that character.
 
Well, it's fun fantasy entertainment. What more?
 
I already answered this question on Sci-Fi and Fantasy: scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/104960/…rand al'thor 2 mins ago
@NapoleonWilson Is this OK? ^
 
@randal'thor I guess so.
 
I thought I should ask, given the recent meta post...
 
4:47 PM
The consideration is appreciated.
 
@NapoleonWilson While I very much respect Richard's opinion, I don't think my answer needs that information added to it IMO.
 
@steelerfan Sure, it's not that necessary, even if it won't hurt, I guess. As long as you don't inlcude a reference to the movie's novelization. ;-)
 
@NapoleonWilson :)
 
 
1 hour later…
5:51 PM
@randal'thor I would just say "Related: [link]"
 
@CapyStenchbeast I wanted to be transparent about both the fact that it was a cross-site post and the fact that I wasn't impartial.
 
@randal'thor Then you could link the M&TV question on SF&F. :)
