@KutuluMike I didn't spoil anything.

> A man forgets but never forgives. A woman forgives but never forgets.
-- Thom Merrilin, WoT
 
I guess that thing's full of stuff like that. Isn't that actually playing much with the differences between genders and fantastically exaggerating them?
 
I wouldn't say they're too much exaggerated (although some might disagree).
Bear in mind that the magic system, which is a major feature of the whole thing, is divided into male and female halves. So in a way, "vive la difference" is an essential part of Jordan's worldbuilding.
 
I only heard it criticized as being sexist once, while it simply tries to draw upon some perceived cultural differences between genders and trying to make them more inherent substantial. But I might remember that wrongly.
 
If you want to hear WoT criticism, ask terdon.
There is a theme of "vive la difference", men and women not understanding each other, and so on, but I don't think it's sexist or too unrealistic.
 
I don't want to hear it criticized, I just try to remember the only thing I ever heard about it (other than some guy named Rand al'Thor being in it).
 
12:35 AM
Amazon is suggesting Se7en, eh? Meh, there's better Fincher stuff, that's a little overrated really.

TiannaIt's different horror films in one movie. One of them is a group of bikers go riding down to the woods and sleep there with their motorcycles. They all cut them self to bring one of the biker's friend's dead girlfriend to life. They all put their blood in a cup. While she hangs on the cross whi...

Q: Is there a charter or description for this community?

Richard CrowleyThis community seems to be overwhelmingly about identification and trivia related to specific TV shows and movies. But there are SOME questions about movie/TV production and general questions. These seem like two completely different genres and I was surprised to find them intermixed here. As t...

Q: Movie about a woman dating a man who's comatose?

Cade FosterI saw a film or show on netflix a few days back (this is 5/2/16) where the description said that a woman was dating a man in a coma. I was hoping to find it again, perhaps it was taken off netflix streaming or the search function there isn't good?

Q: Goosebumps movie potential plot error

Siddharth VenuIn Goosebumps (2015) movie, we can see that But why did he mention in his book that Hannah will get trapped too? Can't he just mention the other monsters without Hannah and complete the book?

^ question title is too meh.....
Any suggestion, as i can't think of non-spoiler one for now

So, anyone other than me seen Captain America: Civil War yet?

Maybe you can answer this

Q: Why does the 3D movie I just watched stutter?

ArneWe just watched "Captain America: Civil War" in the theatre. It was 3D and it was one of the technically worst shows I have experienced. The movie was stuttering all the time during action scenes. I think it was probably the same in scenes with less action, but not noticeable because there was mu...

 
On wednesday probably.
@AnkitSharma I doubt noone who wasn't with the asker in his cinema can.
 
9:29 AM
Agreed but i don't have any reason to close it either
 
Sure, haven't read it yet anyway.

Q: Teenager or kid competition reality show

MeganIt started off with a bunch of different teams competing each other, then eliminating starts until there was only one winner left. Each episode had a different theme . I remember parts of a few episodes. a race to the set up camp. Working on a farm or ranch spy-like western-like possibly on...

 
@AnkitSharma I can't because I didn't see it in 3D, and I wasn't sitting in the same seat in the same cinema at the same time as the asker.
 
hmmmm
Anyways out of curiosity, i read the end credit scenes from civil war on Wikipedia
 
9:40 AM
@AnkitSharma Oh, there's multiple again? So there's also one at the very very end? Would be nice to know beforehand.
 
Post credit is about spider-man
 
@NapoleonWilson I've seen two post-credits scenes. Rumour has it that a third might be released when the film comes out in the USA, but I'm... skeptical about that.
 
Drgh, they'll probably show it after the credits and post-credit scene are over for 10 minutes. The projector will have to shut down in between, it's probably programmed that way right into the projectors.
 
@DrRDizzle You have seen bucky and spider-man post credit?
 
@AnkitSharma Yup.
 
9:48 AM
I heard somewhere that one is about black panther
 
@AnkitSharma That's the Bucky one, it's the same scene.
 
ohhhh
K will discuss it on Friday then
Or maybe Thursday
 
@AnkitSharma If we are going to discuss it, it might be worth setting up a room for it. There is a lot to spoil, and I'd hate to ruin the film for someone.

Q: Why did Vera beg for her life?

bart-lebyI have just watched the TV series And Then There Were None from BBC. Along with the Russian adaptation, Desyat Negrityat (1987), I think it is the most satisfying adaptation of A. Christie's classic novel. I have the question regarding the gripping of ending of the show when Vera after shooting L...

 
@DrRDizzle Is it not agent of nothing suppose to be for this purpose?
 
9:55 AM
Oh, I posted some spoiler-free thoughts on Captain America: Civil War in Agents of Nothing if anyone is interested.
 
The idea of forcing people to watch all your names is certainly well-intentioned. But that shit's seriously gone too far already.
 
@AnkitSharma Yeah, but Agents of Nothing is used for a lot of comic book related things, and I still err on the side of caution when it comes to spoilers because I know not everyone will have seen thee thing in question yet.
@NapoleonWilson What's this in relation too?
 
@NapoleonWilson ???
 
They could show them do failed stunts Jackie Chan style. But I don't need to wait 10 minutes to see some guys eat döner.
 
Oh, by names you mean credits. I gotcha.
 
9:57 AM
@DrRDizzle MCU-style post-credit scenes.
 
OHHHH
 
@NapoleonWilson The MCU didn't invent the post-credits scene. They just made it work.
 
@DrRDizzle Yeah, they just drove it to the extreme.
 
@DrRDizzle They didn't made it work, they used already worked idea and forced it everywhere they can
 
I tried to find that real Nolan quote on the matter that was a little more elaborate, but I can only find the one wrongly attributed to him.
 
10:00 AM
@AnkitSharma They used them for a very specific purpose at first. It was smart.
 
@DrRDizzle But then it got increased again and again fro no healthy reason
Why to wait for whole credit to see Thor kissing Jane
 
@AnkitSharma Not really. None of the post-credits scenes have ever been vital (I'm not sure if Captain America: Civil War changes that or not), they're just little bonuses for fans. There is nothing wrong with that.
@AnkitSharma Then don't wait. That's the beauty of them - they are 100% optional.
 
Yeah, i mostly don't , depends on my mood and timing
But i do check the rest of them on YouTube
Anyways i do liked few , specially GotG
 
It is nice seeing basically everyone in the cinema stick around for them now though.
I remember the days when people used to leave, not knowing there would be a tasty treat in a few minutes.
 
But noone has ever dared to climb the Mount Everest fully naked either. Does that make the people who at least contemplated it less likely to appreciate the act itself?
 
10:11 AM
@NapoleonWilson wow, bit exerting.
 
@AnkitSharma Indeed, but at some point it has to be.
 
hmmmm
 
@NapoleonWilson Is this meant to be in relation to our discussion about post-credits scenes? Because if so, I have no idea what you are talking about.
 
> But then again, who does?
 
Consider me 100% lost.
 
10:23 AM
Noted.
 
Are their messages that have been posted that I'm not seeing or something?
Like, I'm genuinely confused.
 
@DrRDizzle Don't worry, you're not the only one.
 
10:40 AM
hahahhaah
No i did understood it, took bit time but i did
 
@AnkitSharma Then I'd be genuinely interested to know what you took from it.
Anyway, does anyone know if interest and sales in written comics has generally experienced a resurgence since the 2000's boom in comic films/TV?
 
Sorry, bit stuck in work
 
@NapoleonWilson It would appear so.
 
I've never ever seen something like a dedicated comic book shop even exist, but I'd wager in the big comic countries like the US people might have delved a bit more into the source material of their favourite films.
 
@NapoleonWilson Really? We have them over here, predominantly selling comics but also selling nerd-related merchandise.
I've seen people of all shapes and sizes buy comics.
(And I mean that figuratively as well as literally).
 
10:51 AM
Superhero comics were never a big thing here. I know zero people who are into that stuff, and I'm moving among computer scientists and psychologists. That always seemed like a total US thing. That whole nerd-culture as known from (admittedly awfully carricaturized) things like The Big bang Theory was always rather alien to me.
The same with collecting toys and shenanigans like that.
 
Well, I'm not overly surprised. Isn't expressing emotion or interest banned in Germany? :P
 
@NapoleonWilson I have seen dedicated comic book shop here in past but this days not much.
But they use to keep Indian comics more

Q: Would Jon Snow still have to be loyal to the Night's Watch?

BviLLe_KidBeware this post contains spoilers! Now, the Night's Watch holds you loyal & responsible for your entire life. If you desert, you are killed for disobeying your oath to protect the realm with the Night's Watch. Hopefully, this season gets even crazier!

 
12:16 PM
@MovieReel That's a big clear spoiler
 
I am completely stumped on putting this question together for The Patriot
 
@steelerfan Why?
@AnkitSharma I already tried to disarm it.
 
@NapoleonWilson Because the information took me about 5 minutes to find. I have to admit that Kim was absolutely right (which I hate to do). But, there's really no question to ask anymore, I guess.
 
12:31 PM
@steelerfan Oh. Is it from Wikipedia or a single big source among the first few google hits or did you have to drag it all together across various sources?
I hate it when Wikipedia answers all my cool questions, though.
 
I really want to know where Mike got his information from. Everywhere I looked, it clearly states that Benjamin Martin's character is comprised of 4-5 different figures from that period and the only traits that they took from Francis Marion were his Weapon of choice and his involvement in killing Indians.
 
Meh, if people want to get pissed, they will, I guess.
 
@NapoleonWilson Yeah, that and 3-4 other websites. I was actually impressed that Kim knew all of this off the top of her head. Maybe she really is kinda smart ;)
 
@steelerfan Or she secretly reads all our chats and already prepared for your question.
 
@NapoleonWilson closing doesn't hide the spoiler
 
12:38 PM
@NapoleonWilson Oh, God. Don't freak me out like that!! Trust me, if she secretly read our chats, I would have heard about it by now ;)
 
@AnkitSharma I know, I meant the title change I did.
 
You mean Does vs Would
 
What I wonder more is why every single person other than me seriously even considers this oath that exactly this questions gets asked 3 times across 2 sites. The stuff people come up with sometimes.
 
At-least nobody is crying over it on mos
 
@AnkitSharma Yes, since this way it's open if he even can. Either you have not seen season 5, then it's entirely vague and you don't know what it means at all. And if you have seen it but not S06E02 yet, then it could still be a hypothetical question.
 
12:41 PM
Kim and I went on an Arrested Development binge fest last night. We found the "Afternoon delight" episode that we had no clue about ;)
 
@steelerfan Ah, that's a nice idea, too.
 
@NapoleonWilson I love watching that show with my sister. Nobody else in my life ever appreciated that show like she did with me. I am so sore this morning from laughing so hard last night ;)
 
@steelerfan Well, nobody else till now. ;-)
 
@NapoleonWilson Haha! You so awesome, Napoleon. You really need to watch This is Spinal Tap and Best in Show. If you can appreciate the humor in Arrested Development, then you would definitely like Christopher Guest movies.
 
@steelerfan I'll keep it in mind. I think the former was on my Amazon Prime watchlist for quite some time. Maybe they still have it.
Ah no, only for rent. But anyway, I'll keep it in mind.
 
12:49 PM
@NapoleonWilson OMG. I was just saying those two because they are my favorite. Waiting for Guffman and A mighty wind are both really good, too.
"If I told them once, I've told them a hundred times, to put Spinal Tap first and puppet show last" HAHAHA!! God, that movie is hilarious!!
Gotta go take a shower. Be back later :)
 
@steelerfan Have fun!

Q: Girls break into guy's house

Q: Why there are no guns in Alien 3?

eYeI remember watching Aliens and being amazed with the variety of guns, war vehicles and ammunition shown. My expectation was that Alien 3 would have at least as much action involving guns and in general follow death match style of the Aliens. However, if I am not mistaken we don't see many guns if...

Q: In Dead Poets Society, What are some good arguments one could make for prosecuting Keating with the responsibility of the death of Neil?

user34128However unpopular the opinion is and how much I disagree with it, I have to argue this point. Discuss!

 
2:51 PM
@MovieReel Unfortunately you can't prosecute a person just for being an a-hole ;)
 
@steelerfan Um, was that a jab at Mr. Keating?
 
@NapoleonWilson I was being facetious speaking for Neil's father ;)
 
@steelerfan Ah, that makes a little more sense then.
 
@NapoleonWilson I would make the argument that his father should be prosecuted instead of Keating, but, that's just me.
 
@steelerfan Sure.
@steelerfan Though, I'm really sorry to tell you that I actually have to go get me some Subway now and then probably go to bed after that.
 
2:57 PM
@NapoleonWilson What? Why are you going to bed so early?
 
@steelerfan Because I'm tired.
 
@NapoleonWilson Why are you so tired? Oh God. Were you up working all night?
 
And tomorrow night is cinema and karaoke, since thursday is holiday.
@steelerfan Almost. <groveling emoticon>
 
@NapoleonWilson God dammit! Were you at work when you called me yesterday?
 
@steelerfan Yes.

Q: What does the title "Reservoir Dogs" mean?

eYeAside from speculations of the title coming from Tarantino's mispronunciation of the French film name, what meaning does Reservoir Dogs have in context of the actual story line?

 
@NapoleonWilson OMG! Why didn't you tell me that? Sneaky, sneaky!! You are in soooo much trouble!! ;)
 
@steelerfan Because, I...I didn't want to stress you out, sorry. :'(
 
@NapoleonWilson Awww. Don't be sorry. You're sweet to not want to stress me out...you're still in trouble, though ;)
 
@steelerfan Then it fits that I have to go now anyway.
 
Go get some food and get some sleep, then :)
 
3:05 PM
@steelerfan I will. Bye! We'll have to do our next try of The Night Manager on thursday then.
 
@NapoleonWilson Sure :)

Siddharth VenuIn Executive Decision (1996), we see that after both the pilots are shot dead, Dr. Grant, although he never handled a jumbo jet, assumes control and doesn't know what to do.

Q: Why didn't the Dorn prince go with Jamie Lanister on the boat to King's Landing?

ChloeThe prince was promised a seat on the small council. At the end of season 5, I thought he was on the boat with them. But in season 6, it turns out he stayed in Dorn. Why did he stay in Dorn when his fiancé was on the boat and he was given a seat on the small council?

@Catija it sounded way cooler and more existential the other way.

Q: Name of Movie Where Man Disatisfied with Life Pays Hitman to Kill Him then Changes Mind

user45959I remember watching a movie 30 maybe 40 years ago, I think it was French, where a man who is bored with life, engages in risky behaviors, but always survives. Pays a hitman to kill him. Then he falls in love and decides life is worth living. What was the name of the movie? I think there was ...

 
funny, weird etc
 
My sister is obsessed with watching frigging cat videos on YouTube
 
I don't ;)
For now watching Russell Peters
 
8:10 PM
Where the heck is Mike at? I have a question!!!
 
@steelerfan The first season episodes are pretty good; they don't really have much of a season-wide plot, which makes it easier to get into them.
 
@steelerfan He must be tired after talking to dizzle ;D
 
@KutuluMike So, I asked a Doctor Who question recently over at SFF. I wanted to ask another one. What's your opinion about asking Doctor Who questions over there versus asking here?
@AnkitSharma Oh God. In that Agents of nothing room?
 
@steelerfan Yup
 
I don't get too worked up over that silly territorial stuff.
 
8:18 PM
hahahhahaaaa
 
but I tend to think of sci-fi shows as sci-fi first and tv second.
(or if they're not, I stop watching them)
 
Yeah, I was pleasantly surprised by the reaction that I got over there with my question.
 
just be aware that there is a ridiculous amount of non-television Doctor Who material.
comics, novels, audiobooks, etc.
and several sf/f users that are experts in that.
 
I know. What's the best way to search for your question being a dupe?
 
if you happen to stumble onto one of the areas of Doctor Who that gets talked about in the novels, you will get some really long answers that will not likely help you at all.
oh, just ask it. the usual list of "is this your question?" questions is pretty good.
 
8:21 PM
Oh, okay. Thanks :)
 
if you don't see yours in that list, ask. worst thing that could happen is you get closed as a dupe.
nothing wrong with that.
if people try to downvote you for it you send them to me.
cracks knuckles
I will glare menacingly at them
 
Haha! Okay, will do :)

Q: Why does Dr. Cal Lightman walks with his back and neck bend front and spreding his shoulder on the sides?

HarisHis body language is kind of of a douschebag. Could be that it is in a deception purposes? It seams to me though that a deception artist should have a body language like James Bond and definitely not like Cal Lightman in the show?

Q: Please help me find this song!

RosamThere's a background music playing in a movie called "God's not dead" from 18:04 until 18:28. It would be awesome intro for a skate video! Thanks, appreciate!

 
@MovieReel Please go away.
 
@Catija done ;)
 
YAY!
 
@steelerfan Also, SFF has been getting a lot of terrible Doctor Who questions lately, so we'll really appreciate some good ones. Your Blink question got more upvotes than all the rest of the last 25 questions there put together.
 
9:52 PM
@Randal'Thor Oh, really? Wow! Well, I am working on a few right now to ask over here and then, I will try and get my Doctor Who one done and post it over there :)
 
@steelerfan Have you started seriously watching all of Series 1 now? :-)
 
@Randal'Thor Yep. I just finished the 3rd episode. I'm kinda Doctor Who'd out for the day ;)
Do I need to put up spoiler alerts for a 2004 movie?
 
Doctor Who tends to attract lots of terrible questions from people trying to show off how smart they are by pointing out plot holes.
like it's hard to find plot holes in Doctor Who.
but, to be fair, I think a lot of those doctor-who questions aren't nearly as upvoted as they ought to be.
 
@steelerfan The next two episodes (a two-part story) should be fun. One moment from the next episode is perhaps the most often-flashbacked scene in New Who (which kinda annoys me, for reasons which would be spoilers).
 
which episode is next?
 
10:03 PM
Big Ben and the farting aliens.
 
oh, right.
is there really a memorable scene in there?
 
I was asking about spoilers for the question about The Village that I am asking over here.
 
@KutuluMike Recently it's been more totally obvious questions, with massive transcript quotes included in the question which actually answer it.
@KutuluMike The Big Ben scene?
 
oh, yeah, i guess.
did they put big ben in the wrong place? :)
 
@steelerfan It it still in processing
 
10:06 PM
it's right next to the london eye and across the river from the eiffel tower, right?
 
@AnkitSharma I haven't posted it yet.
 
@KutuluMike They put the clock face the wrong way round, with 1 on the left and 11 on the right.
facepalm
 
That’s why i said is still under processing
 
are you sure you're not just watching a pirated YouTube version?
 
@KutuluMike Yeah, it's even mentioned in the Chakoteya transcript (which is what caused me to notice it in the first place).
 
10:09 PM
@AnkitSharma So, is it okay to post without spoiler alerts?
 
@steelerfan Film is quite old
to be spoiled
 
@Randal'Thor ah. I assume someone decided to vertical-flip the scene in post-production for some reason?
 
Yeah, that's what I figured. I just wanted to be sure :)
 
Wow my GoT question got 3k views. Hence proved non weird PG-13 question can be HNQ
 
I don't know if I need another tag on that question or not. It's not really a plot description. I don't know. Analysis, maybe?

Don't worry we will add suitable one by edit ;)

Q: Why was Ivy concerned with wiping the mud off of her yellow cloak?

steelerfanIn the 2004 film, The Village, the villagers wear yellow as a "safe" color to protect themselves against the creatures that live in the woods beyond the borders of their village. The color yellow is to show the creatures that the villagers mean them no harm and that peace is to be maintained bet...

 
No worries. I haven't asked a question for a while. I figured that I should since I am dying of boredom ;)
 
it is well known that backhoes are attracted to the scent of mud
 
Good night o/
 
Goodnight :)
I'm confused why the character tag was added. I would think that analysis would be more appropriate.
 
10:23 PM
because you asked about a character.
if this were sf/f we'd also need and just to be safe

Hahaha!!
 
10:50 PM
@steelerfan Despite knowing nothing about the film beyond what's in your question, I threw you an upvote and a comment.
As far as I'm concerned, "The Village" is only this:
 
@Randal'Thor Awww. Thanks buddy :)
I was going to get really ambitious and post a question regarding M. Night Shyamalan use of color symbolism in his films, but I don't know if I'm that ambitious at the moment ;)
