@NapoleonWilson Can we get a giphy thing in here? :P
 
@steelerfan I'd rather not.
 
and now we'll find out how many people have fled here to escape the gif storm in Mos
 
@steelerfan Da...wut? How long does he know you?
 
@Ixrec Hehehe! I know, right?
@NapoleonWilson Who, my brother? I have known you longer than I have known him ;)
 
@steelerfan Yeah, but still.
 
12:21 AM
He's just being an ass. No worries ;)
He was just joking around with me and said "woman, go make us some dinner" when I got home. I immediately laughed hysterically at him and called him an ass and handed him his phone to call for take out. Haha!
The giphy thing doesn't bother me too much. It just takes forever to load chat when I am on my tablet and it's super slow.
 
Well, it's at least a little more varied than the usual GIF spam. It's not just dogs doing stuff but all kinds of interesting things.
I'm still glad it's in a different room, though.
 
Sure.
@NapoleonWilson I hope that you don't think my brothers are seriously like this. He's just being a pain in the ass because he knew what my reaction would be ;)
It's all in fun :)
 
@steelerfan Don't worry. ;-)
 
NO WORRIES!! :)
Honestly, I thought that it would be fun to have a roommate again...I'm not so sure anymore ;)
@NapoleonWilson Oh, c'mon! You don't like Wad's exploding dogs?
Those constantly crack me up!
Or, the exploding ferrets. lol.
<continues to talk to self>
I'm outta here. Have a good night :)

@steelerfan Good night and sweet dreams!

Re'ehIn Ride Along 2, Kevin Hart's character - known for being a clutz - when in his officer uniform appeared to have his gun backwards.

Q: A movie about two friends who planned to kill each other's wives

AhmadI saw this movie around 2006 on a DVD. It was not a mainstream movie. I believe it is a hollywood production, but must be a direct to DVD. The plot begins when the body of a woman is discovered and police arrest a man (might be her husband or his friend). Anyways, the arrested man says that he d...

A confusion. This question seems to be primarily opinion based, but also seems generic.

Anyway, I flagged it.
 
5:36 AM
@AJ Opinion based to be closed. I don't know why other picked too broad
 
A J
@AnkitSharma Did you watch The Mechanic?
 
@AJ You mean Jason Statham film, no not watched it
 
A J
@AnkitSharma Oh I wanted to know if I can watch The Mechanic 2 without watching first one. It is going to be released tomorrow.
 
You can ask it on main site, people do that here soemtime
 
A J
@AnkitSharma Ok I posted it. Is there a particular tag for such question or we should create it?
 
5:50 AM
film tags are enough
we have but it's for different purpose
 
A J
@AnkitSharma I don't know if these film tags I created will be used in next 6 months. If they won't, will these tags be removed?
 
if they only have 1 question they will.
I think.
 
Don't worry, no one going to leave any question with tag
I hope soon we see walt crossing 100k

Q: Do I need to watch The Mechanic before watching Mechanic Resurrection?

A JNow Mechanic Resurrection is going to be released tomorrow and I am planning to watch it, but I didn't see The Mechanic (2011). So, do I need to watch The Mechanic before watching Mechanic Resurrection?

 
6:07 AM
Nobody have legendary here :(
I don't know how to check walt's legendary progress
 
@KutuluMike What in the heck are you doing up at this hour?
 
A J
well there are data queries where you can enter Walt's user id.
 
@AnkitSharma No need to check. We all know that Walt is legendary ;)
 
A J
@steelerfan Agreed
 
@AJ yeah, i need to search it ........

Walt is awesome.

@AnkitSharma I just checked there is not.

Q: Badge progress reports

SwDevMan81Is there a way to view your own progress towards certain badges? For example: Tumbleweed - What value constitutes low views for a week? Fanatic – Is there a way to view how many days in a row you currently have? Beta – Is it even possible to get this badge anymore?

 
@steelerfan i fell asleep at 8pm
 
@KutuluMike wow, I never slept at 8
@abdul hello
 
A J
@AnkitSharma I once slept at 4 pm just for a nap, but woke up at 12 am.
 
@KutuluMike Oh, I am sorry. I know how much that sucks, then you're up all night :(
 
6:13 AM
@AJ I did slept before it but it sounded in first version better ;)
 
I know how hard it is to get back on a normal schedule after working night shifts ;)
 
I did worked in alternate night shift for almost 1 and half year, I am happily out of it now
 
I remember you saying that you hated working nights.
 
My eating and social routine ruined by it
 
Hmmm...I didn't know that The mechanic was a remake of a Charles Bronson movie
@AnkitSharma Well, I don't really have much of either, so, it's all good ;)
 
6:21 AM
I read it The Machinist when Aj mentioned it then fortunately I checked before replying
I really really love The Machinist
 
Oh, the one with Christian Bale?
Where he's like super skinny.
 
yes yes yes, that fantastic film
 
@steelerfan did you hear about Nate Diaz?
 
Bale is my bff, holy moly I am sounding steerish
 
@KutuluMike No. What happened?
 
6:24 AM
the idiot was smoking pot after his fight and went around telling people about it.
 
A J
It is not that popular movie, so not a chance that it'll make HNQ.
 
OMG. SERIOUSLY??
 
pot's one of the banned substances they suspend for.
he might never fight again at this rate.
 
@AJ No sex no HNQ ;p
 
What a frigging idiot. God. What's wrong with these guys?
@AnkitSharma Hehehe! Yeah, he's alright. I loved him in American Psycho
 
6:27 AM
@steelerfan I still have to check that film

Q: A question about 2 movies! HELP!!

Shannon Turley1st movie: this movie is similar to Hider in the house. A boy and girl live with their father. The girl has a 16th bday party and her boyfriend is found dead outside the next day. Also her mom is in a nuthouse. When a friend of her moms is released he was told by the mom to go and keep and eye on...

 
ufff vote ended again, I need to stop voting or stop bragging about them being ended
Better to pick later option
 
@AnkitSharma Wut? Christian Bale is your bff and you're into stuff like this...This is right up your alley. Jared Leto and Reese Witherspoon are in it as well.
Disclaimer: it's set in the 80's... ;)
 
Not into Reese, I will pick Sarah Michelle Gellar over her but nevermind, I do want to see that film sometime soon
@steelerfan ufff, you are back to your evil agendas
 
Great movie! You also have to be able to pick up on the humor in it. The "business card" scene is classic. Hilarious.
Christian Bale should have been nominated for an Oscar for that role, imo.
 
6:36 AM
DO bale have any oscar?
 
Yeah. He has one for sure for The Fighter. Maybe another one. I have to check.
 
@steelerfan Yeah best supporting actor for fighter
Only one he got 2 more nomination with no success
My poor Gyllenhaal have no oscar :(
 
Yep. Well, he should have been nominated for American Psycho ;)
@AnkitSharma Pfft! I know, right? No love for Steeler fans :(
 
Oscar selectors are homophobics, he surely deserved oscar for Brokeback Mountain
 
Wasn't he nominated for that role?
 
6:41 AM
Yeah he got nominated only
But didn't got it
 
Who won that year?
 
let me check
@steelerfan Matt Dillon for Crash in supporting role
 
Huh? Matt Dillon has never won an Oscar, I don't think.
 
ooops sorry
I messed up
George Clooney – Syriana
 
Ahhh...right.
 
6:46 AM
> The film was nominated for eight Academy Awards, the most nominations at the 78th Academy Awards, where it won three: Best Director, Best Adapted Screenplay, and Best Original Score, while losing Best Picture to Crash.
I mixed soem stuff ;D
If I am not wrong then there was drama among supporter against crash getting best picture and not BM
 
Philip Seymour Hoffman won for best actor. Nobody could really beat him that year. Reese Witherspoon didn't deserve her Oscar for Walk the Line, imo.
Yeah, I liked BM a lot more than Crash.
 
Never seen crash but I stand with BM
King kong got oscar too O.o for Sound Editing
 
Yeah, it was a good movie. I always felt bad for Heath Ledger at the end. It was depressing :'(
 
@steelerfan not even Heath Ledger :'(
@steelerfan You know about whole drama of fan fiction sent to the original writter with happy endings ?
 
@AnkitSharma No.
 
6:51 AM
Annie Proulx, author of the original 1997 short story, said a few years after the film's release, "I wish I'd never written it," because she has been sent too much fan fiction presenting alternative plots:
> [The film] is the source of constant irritation in my private life. There are countless people out there who think the story is open range to explore their fantasies and to correct what they see as an unbearably disappointing story.
> They constantly send ghastly manuscripts and pornish rewrites of the story to me, expecting me to reply with praise and applause for "fixing" the story. They certainly don't get the message that if you can't fix it you've got to stand it. Most of these "fix-it" tales have the character Ennis finding a husky boyfriend and living happily ever after, or discovering the character Jack is not really dead after all, or having the two men's children meet and marry, etc., etc.
Poor writer got trolled by silly fans

Oops I wanted to give that ID question a descriptive title, so I re-edited it, but my previous edit was approved and new edit added to review queue.
It got approved. And a better title added by OP.
 
@AJ Ooops that's why I can't track it
 
@AnkitSharma Yeah, any of those endings sound ridiculous. It's supposed to be sad and depressing. That's the point. I felt bad for both of them through out the entire movie...that was the point. Silly people ;)
Ankit's too busy approving my tag edits ;)

I really love reopening questions but get chances to do it very rarely

@Walt Well, it's just loving bantering...well, except for an incident last week that was totally my fault that I overreacted about ;)

@AnkitSharma Yes
 
Make the tag wiki as franchise tag wiki
 
I don't know how to do that.
 
K, I have no Idea about it and not feeling invested enough to do it ;) sorry
 
A J
@AnkitSharma What should a movie tag contain in tag wiki?
 
@AnkitSharma No worries. I will just leave it for now :)
@AJ I usually put the year, genre, director and top billed actors.
 
7:52 AM
@MovieReel Doesn't deserve downvote, he tells the story quite detailed
@AJ It varies a lot, it's either about movie itself like release year , directory inspired from etc or short synopsis of film. Just write it in your own word
 
@AJ Yeah, you can't copy from Wikipedia or anything.
 
I mostly add tag wiki body too because there I can mention more stuff and encode sourced link etc too
 
Oh, I am just not creative enough to put stuff into my own words with that stuff ;)

Then Marty receives a letter from Doc which was written in...

 
@kvchivukula hello
@steelerfan Last time she came when i mentioned her then disappeared again.
 
@AnkitSharma Hmmm...weird. that's too bad.
 
She had different plans for tagging here, which most of us not agreed with and she got pissed off.
She was once most active female user of our chatroom
 
Oh, that sucks. I didn't know that's why she left. That's too bad :(
Time for sleep. Goodnight :)
 
8:27 AM
@AJ Yes, as much as possible.
@AJ If you think it should be closed, feel free to flag it as such.
@AnkitSharma I actually intended it for that purpose, too. But as I feared, the name doesn't really reflect that.
@AJ No.
@KutuluMike We explicitly disabled this rule here.
A crossing to pass.
A decision to forget.
A self to return.

@NapoleonWilson Did you watch The Mechanic?
 
@AnkitSharma It's a little disingenuous to attribute his not winning the Oscar just to homophoby of the jury.
And didn't Sean Penn win for Milk?
 
And Tom Hanks for Philadelphia
 
@AJ Yes, it's nice.
 
A J
@NapoleonWilson Ok. So can you answer my question?
 
8:42 AM
@AJ Probably not, since, well, I haven't seen the new one.
(But I also haven't read the question yet.)
 
A J
@NapoleonWilson Check it out.
 
But seeing that it's a straight to the point action thriller about a killer and except for Statham nearly everyone dies, I doubt you really need much of the first movie's story to understand the new one.

@NapoleonWilson hmm ok.
 
@NapoleonWilson Didn't know that

@NapoleonWilson oooh yeah we did discussed it before
 
9:21 AM
@AnkitSharma does this still need sorting?
 
@AncientSwordRage he deleted his cross post from here now, I suggested him to ask for migration over SFF. If he didn't done that then issue seems resolved
I hope @steelerfan will win this challenge as it's suggested by her
I have seen Mars Attacks!, Planet of the Apes, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory only and have no question fro them at my mind
Maybe I can check Dark Shadows but not sure
 
@AnkitSharma How is this about a character?
 
Is it not more about character's decision?

Speaking of suspension, at physics, we have accounts suspended for ten years also. For me this is quite a long suspension.
 
A J
@MAFIA36790 Who is that user?
 
user116211
Would it be nice to mention his name here? I've no problem; he is quite a reputed user and co-founder of Physics Overflow.
 
user116211
11:42 AM
ah! yes @Randal'Thor
 
user116211
Same old moderation problem and all that.
 
@MAFIA36790 What he did O.o
 
A J
@Randal'Thor It's better to delete account than being suspended for this long.
 
user116211
@AnkitSharma Only mods know the suspension reason; we are not allowed to know; isn't it?
 
@MAFIA36790 Yes: as I understand it, he and some of the other top users on Physics SE didn't like the way the site was being run, so they walked out and set up their own site.
 
11:44 AM
@MAFIA36790 But we almost always knows ;)
 
>
I do not participate on this site any longer, except to respond to comments regarding my own text, if that text is unavailable in another form. I do not accept the political moderation atmosphere here, it is not compatible with open science. Unfortunately, this seems to be a recurring pattern on such sites--- they grow with promises of open participation, and then shut down in a phase transition of censorious moderatorship. Hopefully physicsoverflow.org will be the first exception to this rule, as the policies there were crafted specifically to avoid this phenomenon.
 
user116211
@Randal'Thor Not walked out; I would say; he still visited the site and responded to the comments to his answers.
 
@Randal'Thor Just reading that
 
@MAFIA36790 Yeah, like it says on his profile: he didn't participate except to respond to comments on his own stuff.

He is suspended even at Quora due to his promotion of some revisionist theories on 9/11.

Q: Which gods were the Enchantress & her brother referred too in Suicide Squad?

What kind of gods were they referring too? Which Goddess was the enchantress and which one was her brother? They look a bit like Mayan or ...

 
user116211
@Randal'Thor They had problem with the homework policy and moderation, in a nutshell. Inspired by the Maths Overflow, they created the Physics Overflow.
 
@MAFIA36790 I wonder if his suspension was partly triggered by SE not liking competition.
 
I believe he's "banned" but you can't do that on SE, so... 10 year suspension.
 
user116211
@Randal'Thor Don't know; we aren't allowed to talk about that.
 
11:58 AM
@Randal'Thor physics overflow has been around for what, 5 years? I doubt that had anything to do with it; more likely his general disdain for SE and it's staff and it's structure led him to do something he probably shouldn't have.
 
user116211
It is not his first suspension. His previous suspension was about to end in August; but again he was suspended for another ten years.
 
ah.
someone has an Outlook reminder. "re-up suspension"
 
user116211
There is not competition actually; physics SE is much more open than Physics Overflow which is confined to graduate and higher level studies. Also, the latter has much lower audience than SE. So, I agree with @KutuluMike.
 
@KutuluMike Yeah, I was thinking of an indirect connection rather than just "he's involved with one of our competitors, ban him", which doesn't really sound like how SE operates.
 
user116211
Also, if you dig deep, many users have accounts at both the sites; but participation seems to be more at Physics SE.

^-- apparently this was a really touchy subject.

@KutuluMike okay, rudeness to him is compulsory.
 
fun fact: when you try to google his name, Google autocompletes it with "crank".
:(
I never got a "crank" vibe off him, but he's apparently a huge proponent of cold fusion, which is a touchy subject in physics.
another fun fact: my dog is eating my desk

@KutuluMike ;D
 
@MAFIA36790 Quora even suspend user. I do talk about conspiracy theories here but I don't talk about 9/11 because its being so sensitive

@AnkitSharma You can see his blog where he spontaneously promoted his opinions; if someone spoke otherwise, there was insult waiting from him definitely ;P
 
user116211
He even thinks Boston bombing was fake ;P He got involved in many spats there.
 
@Randal'Thor It does, I guess. (Though, it's still unfortunate all the upvotes got migrated with it.) ;-)
 
@KutuluMike O.o
 
@Randal'Thor Are you sure this is correct? It says I have 7, but the badge tracker says it's just 4.
 
@NapoleonWilson maybe you can blame me to give him that idea ;)
 
12:09 PM
Anyway, it's still better than the average.
 
@NapoleonWilson No, I'm not sure, and I didn't write it. There are plenty of "Legendary badge tracker" queries on Data.SE, so maybe there's another one which is better.
I imagine the discrepancy is due to the confusing difference between repcapping and earning >=200 points in a day.
 
@Randal'Thor As I understood it, they took specific umbrage to SE's dreaded "be nice" policy.
@MAFIA36790 It's not like you're not allowed at all. We can speak about it most of the time, we simply just shouldn't.
 
@KutuluMike holy moly
Is is good choice for DC Animated Movie Universe tag? due to character limit i can't place "- " after movie
 
@KutuluMike :31898352Well, at least I thought that was the mantra behind Physics Overflow's spin-off.
@AnkitSharma It's a little, strange.
 
@NapoleonWilson any suggestion from your side?
 
12:16 PM
@AnkitSharma Is that not the same universe as the DCAU?
 
user116211
@NapoleonWilson maybe; the moderation policy on be nice at physics overflow hints at that.
 
user116211
To get a clearer context on this, you can read this post:

A: What is Physics Overflow and how is it linked to Physics.SE?

Emilio PisantyOne thing to keep in mind, which was mentioned comments that are now in chat, is that the moderation policies and atmosphere at Physics Overflow do not necessarily match the ones here at Physics Stack Exchange. This can be a good thing or a bad thing, depending of your opinion of the atmosphere t...

 
@NapoleonWilson not at all DCAU got over long long ago and this one started recently and only included fil based on new 52
 
To bo honest, that DC Animation Universe mumbojumbo seems so confusing and overly detailed, that I doubt we need a tag for each sub-group of three movies that belong to this continuity but not to that and that include this version of characters from that comic line but acknowledge this character from that comic, too. It's just a mess and noone knows what those tags actually mean.
 
12:17 PM
The DC Animated Movie Universe is a term used for a series of animated films based on The New 52 continuity. The universe was introduced in Justice League: War. These films are part of the DC Universe Animated Original Movies but don't share continuity with films outside of the DC Animated Movie Universe. == Released films == === Justice League: War === War was released on February 4, 2014. The film is based on Geoff Johns and Jim Lee's "Origin" storyline. It features the voice talents of Jason O'Mara as Batman, Michelle Monaghan as Wonder Woman, Christopher Gorham as Flash, Alan Tudyk...
 
We can be lucky if someone actually knows what the MCU is and how it works, let alone what distinguishes the DCAU from the DCAMU and the DCAOM and the DCWTF.
 
6 films + 2 in development and 1 short film and one more film which established this
we don't have question on any of them except flashpoint but my next question is about whole setup rather then individual film so I needed that tag
I talked about it on SFF too to unify there DCAMU
then lost interest
 
But that name sounds suspiciously like it also includes standalone stuff like Year One, even if it doesn't.
 
@NapoleonWilson no it doesn't
This films always have end credit scene to there next one to clear what is canon and what not
1.1 Justice League: War
1.2 Son of Batman
1.3 Justice League: Throne of Atlantis
1.4 Batman vs. Robin
1.5 Batman: Bad Blood
1.6 Justice League vs. Teen Titans
upcoming ones
2.1 Justice League: Dark
2.2 Teen Titans: The Judas Contract
short film
3.1 Nightwing and Robin
flashpoint paradox started this but can't be considered canon as it was different timeline
 
Well, then make the tag, I guess.
@AnkitSharma Great, so what's that belonging to then? The DCUWRZI?
 
12:26 PM
@NapoleonWilson lol
 
@AnkitSharma I assume individual works or won't do.
 
I am not sure about my next question and might not come soon ( have others before it), so just getting opinions
 
user116211
Hey @ankit, saw Himarm's question on MJ's different versions?
 
@MAFIA36790 yup, I had comment there too
 
Well, I am personally not a fan of too detailed a tag hierarchy for a bunch of animated comic movies that have a category hierarchy that's an utter mess. But I wouldn't stop anyone from creating those tags either if there is a reasonable system to it and the movies are reasonably intertwined.
And I don't really know a better name for it either, seems broken, too.

@NapoleonWilson Just use synonym. for eg., Instead of movie, try film
 
@AJ That will kill the fan term name
 
@AJ Hmm, not a bad idea. But then again, that's also not the official title of that thing. And once we don't use the official titles anymore, it's not clear anymore what it comprises. Since that DC Animated Movie Universe is a specific thing.
 
OMG even goggle is confused for this term
Google showing result of all DC Universe Animated Original Movies
 
@MovieReel Gheez, +4? Really? It's da friggin' Planet Terror and she got a mothereffin' gun as a leg!
 
@NapoleonWilson I didn't gave it upvote but I blame ID for it too
 
12:39 PM
Well, I don't know. Then on the other hand this thing got a ton of dovnvotes, probably because it was written very badly, but I also doubt the downvotes will vanish now that it's repaired.
 
Our voters are drunk hence proved
It's better then most of our IDs but still got one downvote
I do think 1st vote is quite important, as many voters just follow the trend

cde gained reputation very fast. about 30k in one year. Top user of this year.
@AnkitSharma agree.
 
@AJ he is quite fast with answering and have good knowledge of comic book related stuff i suppose or good with googling
 
user116211
@AnkitSharma I was thinking maybe Carnage Queen applies too.
