The Screening Room

1:00 PM

But I am bit bad with sorting film in genres specifically sci-fi genre

Yes, Gravity was nice too, especially if you're more into realistic present day (or nearly present day) science fiction. In that case, you might also want to check out The Martian.

Ankit Sharma

Martin and interstellar is good too but I enjoyed gravity more

wade-watt

2001: Space Oddysey was a good movie for me but every year comes new films and they generally are good films . Interstellar pretty cool for me :)

A J

Jurassic Park series, Independence day(only first one), Gravity

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma What kind of sci-fi are you into? Pure speculative fiction, action with science fiction leanings, space movies, dystopias..?

@AJ What's HP?

Ankit Sharma

1:03 PM

@AJ Harry potter is fantasy not science fiction

Napoleon Wilson

@AJ I wouldn't call Harry Potter science-fiction, though.

wade-watt

@DrRDizzle dystopias like George Orwell creatures ? (1984)

A J

Oh I misread his question.

Dr R Dizzle

@wade-watt That's one, and so is A Clockwork Orange, or Mad Max: Fury Road. Part of the problem with sci-fi is that there are so many radically different subgenres it can be hard to know what to recommend!

A J

Independence Day Resurgence seemed comedy to me except for VFX

Ankit Sharma

1:05 PM

@DrRDizzle To be frank none, I keep that genre on my non priority list but if i still go i will go for sci-fi thriller like paycheque or survival film like gravity or time travell stuff like time machine , predestination etc

Napoleon Wilson

@AJ Well, so was Independence Day.

8

Q: Is Independence Day a comedy spoof?

I haven't seen it since I walked out of the theater disgusted in 1996, but I've recently been wondering if the movie Independence Day was intended to be a comedy. I was 19 then, and I went to see Independence Day expecting a serious sci-fi-action movie. Perhaps I had been led on by the super-coo...

Ankit Sharma

I never got teh hype of Independence Day.

wade-watt

@DrRDizzle yeah , it was many different subgenres but ı must tell that i am afraid of Dystopias :/

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma If you're willing to watch something a little more cerebral, I'd recommend Alex Garland's directorial debut, last years Ex Machina.

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle Agreed, even soem thrillers can be called sci-fi but they didn't called such

Napoleon Wilson

1:06 PM

@AnkitSharma Well, it was just one of the big 90s blockbusters, with all our beloved 90s heroes like Will Smith. It was part of a time that saw some great action blockbusters.

A J

I forgot to mention MIB 3

Napoleon Wilson

A really interesting rather dystopian story is also Dark City.

Ankit Sharma

@AJ I despise your taste now ;p

Napoleon Wilson

@wade-watt I know, they can be depressing.

Ankit Sharma

@NapoleonWilson I do wanted to check that at some time in past but forgot it due to my messed up mind

@wade-watt What you feel about time travel films?

wade-watt

1:09 PM

@NapoleonWilson they generally can depression , I always think if scenes will be real

Napoleon Wilson

@AnkitSharma Your memories about wanting to watch it were probably just switched out. ;-)

wade-watt

@AnkitSharma time travel films can be fun , generally for me :)

Ankit Sharma

@NapoleonWilson I am sure I need to make a real list now, my brain sucks

wade-watt

@AnkitSharma ı used to watch back to the time in childhood , then ı have watched a lot of movie about the time-travel but i think one of the films ( Source Code ) is very dramatic

Ankit Sharma

@wade-watt I like it a lot and have seen lots of them and can recomend few : butterfly effect, predestination, Donnie Darko, terminator 1 & 2 only, The Time Traveler's Wife

Napoleon Wilson

1:12 PM

Oh, Source Code was nice indeed.

A J

The entire Terminator series was based on time travel.

Napoleon Wilson

For something similar (even if less scientifically coherent), you can also check Deja Vú with Denzel.

A J

I didn't see fourth one.

Ankit Sharma

and The Time Machine (2002)

@NapoleonWilson yes that one too

wade-watt

What about the Russian Movies , can you recommend good Russian Film about the Sci-Fi but if possible film can be much older ( older films are better than i think )

Napoleon Wilson

1:14 PM

@AJ Which is the one that's not based on time travel much. ;-)

Ankit Sharma

@AJ Only the first two are worth it, just assume humanity saved in the end and ignore sequels

Napoleon Wilson

@wade-watt Older Russian movies about SciFi? Then be sure to check out some Tarkovsky things, primarily Stalker and Solaris.

Dr R Dizzle

@wade-watt In that case, Back to the Future and it's sequels are excellent 80's movies involving time travel.

wade-watt

@NapoleonWilson thanks , I noted that films

Dr R Dizzle

@NapoleonWilson Agreed whole-heartedly.

Ankit Sharma

1:15 PM

@NapoleonWilson If I am not wrong then you suggested me Timecrimes or was it walt?

Napoleon Wilson

@AnkitSharma I don't even know what that is, so yeah, that was probably him. ;-)

Ankit Sharma

@NapoleonWilson ooops

wade-watt

@DrRDizzle yes , they are excellent movies :)

A J

Did anyone here see In Time?

Napoleon Wilson

@AJ Yeah, it was nice, but also not much more than that to me.

Ankit Sharma

1:18 PM

@NapoleonWilson I did heard about the later one a lot, I think we discussed it yesterday or day before it but being from 70s make me bit non interested

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma You despise everyone's taste :-P

Dr R Dizzle

@AJ I went to go see it at the cinema, but we were running late and ended up not getting there In Time.

Ankit Sharma

@AJ Yup, just ok fun forgettable time pass film

Rand al'Thor

@DrRDizzle *its, dammit.

Dr R Dizzle

@Randal'Thor I cannae do apostrophe's.

Ankit Sharma

1:19 PM

@Randal'Thor No only dizzle. And you don't even watch films , so you are not accountable

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma And @AJ, clearly.

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle ROFL

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma Dizzle, me, AJ, ...

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor NOBODY COUNTS YOU IF WE TALK ABOUT FILMS

And AJ still need to see lots of stuff and his taste can improve, he can get better. Dizzle is non redeemable

cc@DrRDizzle ^^

Dr R Dizzle

crii

Rand al'Thor

1:21 PM

@AnkitSharma Because I (almost) only watch good films.

Which means I don't watch many at all.

Dr R Dizzle

@Randal'Thor Out of curiosity, what was the last film you saw, and when?

Napoleon Wilson

@AnkitSharma There's also a newer remake of Solaris from Steven Soderbergh, with George Clooney and Natascha McElhone. Which I actually found nicer than the Tarkovsky film, but maybe I just lost myself in Miss McElhone's eyes.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor Because you almost don't even watch films and you didn't even know about most of teh films

Rand al'Thor

@DrRDizzle The Princess Bride, about a week ago. Unless you count episodes of TV series.

Dr R Dizzle

@Randal'Thor If I was including episodes of TV, I wouldn't have said "film" ;P

Rand al'Thor

1:22 PM

@AnkitSharma At least I don't watch trash films.

@DrRDizzle Meh, it's all the same to me.

wade-watt

I realized that in chat room , I am beginner of the beginner in Movies :) I have to watch a lot of ( much more ) movies

Dr R Dizzle

@Randal'Thor Fair enough. I consider books and magazines to be the same thing.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor How many film you watch a year and can you list 10 recent one you checked

A J

I just switch on the TV and watch whatever is on air. Or go to nearby theater.

Ankit Sharma

@NapoleonWilson I can try that

Rand al'Thor

1:23 PM

@DrRDizzle Now you're just trying to bait me.

@AnkitSharma I don't count them.

Napoleon Wilson

@AnkitSharma Just be warned that it's a very (and deliberately) slow film.

Dr R Dizzle

@Randal'Thor I don't see any difference between War and Peace and the instruction manual for my fridge. It's all the same thing to me.

Ankit Sharma

@AJ LOl, my first hollywood film was Child play 2. ;D

@NapoleonWilson K, I don't mind slow if presented in good way

Dr R Dizzle

@Randal'Thor I once mistook a roll of toiler paper for the World of Time series because they were presented in roughly the same form.

;P

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor lol, how can you even defend your choice even if you don't even remember it and you mostly trash every film based on any kind of book or you didn't even heard about it

Dr R Dizzle

1:26 PM

@AnkitSharma I have no idea how many films I see in a year either. That's hardly proof that he doesn't have a valid opinion on films.

"How many shits did you take last week?"
"I have no idea."
"Then your opinion on poo is invalid."

Napoleon Wilson

@DrRDizzle Was that (1) a deliberate misname to piss him off further, (2) about a different series actually called World of Time or (3) just a mistake?

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle You watch every film , even trashy ones but rand hardly watch any film so I though he might remember it

Dr R Dizzle

@NapoleonWilson It was a mistake, but I'm going to act like it was deliberate.

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle I poo two times a day, so I can count my poo

Dr R Dizzle

Oh Christ

Abort topic

Ankit Sharma

1:28 PM

And average can work too

@DrRDizzle poo poo poo

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma I don't understand why you are just screaming "DCEU" at me.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor Ok better just point me to few 21st century film you think are good

@DrRDizzle ;D

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma I don't tend to watch really new films. Better to give them a while to prove themselves, to become cult classics or utterly forgotten or whatever.

Ankit Sharma

Anyway I did supported DCEU but I never considered them great , same applied for MCU.

Rand al'Thor

The Hunger Games series.

Stardust, which I believe is also 21st century.

Napoleon Wilson

1:31 PM

@wade-watt Don't worry. You don't have to watch millions of films to be counted as an "expert". You can browse the site's tags and see if there's some interesting questions about the films you have seen that you might be able to answer.

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma How dare you.

Rand al'Thor

And the poo talk is getting too much for me, so I'm outta here.

Dr R Dizzle

@Randal'Thor Matthew Vaughn is one of the best working directors today.

Rand al'Thor

@DrRDizzle Mod abuse reverted ;-)

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor I just can't stand to a film series where a girl took 4 films to shoot a arrow which even did anything important , rest she was just standing there.

Dr R Dizzle

1:32 PM

@Randal'Thor science fiction bro fist

Rand al'Thor

@AnkitSharma Well, we've already established that you have no taste.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor Stardust is in my pending list, so can';t say about it

@Randal'Thor same to u ;p

Napoleon Wilson

Sawdust is great!

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor And form the whole 21st century ur best pick is hunger game and my taste is bad.........ROFL

Napoleon Wilson

@AnkitSharma Gheez!

Rand al'Thor

1:34 PM

@NapoleonWilson Was that (1) a deliberate misname to piss me off further, (2) about a different film actually called Sawdust or (3) just a mistake?

@AnkitSharma I didn't say it was the best. I prefer Stardust.

Napoleon Wilson

@Randal'Thor (4) Me just intentionally living out a mental misnaming I have whenever I read that film's title.

Rand al'Thor

The HG films just happens to be the only new films that I've been interested enough in to go and see in the cinema.

Ankit Sharma

@Randal'Thor Great, some small part of respect restored ;p

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma In fairness, the Hunger Games quadrilogy are some of the better big budget films released in recent years.

wade-watt

Have you ever been in a movie set ? ( general question for all users)

Rand al'Thor

1:36 PM

@AnkitSharma Scoff away, Mr Sharnotasteinfilmsma :-P

user116211

And here Rocky V begins!

Napoleon Wilson

Well, certainly some of the better of the droves of young adult scifi/fantasy that Harry Potter opened the door to.

Dr R Dizzle

@wade-watt No, I'm afraid not. I'd love to visit one of the MCU sets though.

user116211

Oh man! Union Cane challenges Rocky!!

Dr R Dizzle

@NapoleonWilson They're intelligent, subversive, reasonably original, and for the most part, consistently well made. I'll go to bat for the Hunger Games films, even if I don't personally like them all that much.

Rand al'Thor

1:38 PM

@wade-watt No, but I've read a few books partly or mainly set in movie sets.

wade-watt

@DrRDizzle ıt would be great for me and everyone :) also want to visit Pirates of Caribbean and especially Hobbit set :)

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle to me hunger game , maze runner , harry potter etc are same teen films which got more importance due to popularity of the book they are based on

@wade-watt unfortunately not

Napoleon Wilson

@wade-watt There's a user on another site who actually played a role in Pirates of the Caribbean 3.

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma I don't think the Hunger Games books were all that popular until the films came out though.

Rand al'Thor

@DrRDizzle The books were actually not particularly good, which is possibly why I appreciate the films so much, as they don't lose that much compared to the books.

Ankit Sharma

1:39 PM

@wade-watt If I ever got chance to watch any films, set then I will prefer any big budget film ;)

Dr R Dizzle

@wade-watt I have been on the Harry Potter studio tour, which included visiting some of the sets and seeing some of the props and costumes. That was really cool, especially as a huge Harry Potter fan.

Napoleon Wilson

@AnkitSharma Well...

Q: Is this a genre, a plot template or something else?

I've stumbled upon (and watched) a number of films that share many things: Divergent, The Maze Runner, The Giver and so on (I will add as I recall othrs that I've seen and from comments). These movies all share these common elements: a (more or less futuristic) social community with a (more or...

analysis genre

Rand al'Thor

@NapoleonWilson He's on this site too, albeit not very much.

wade-watt

@NapoleonWilson what a nice experience :) it is a dream for me

Dr R Dizzle

@Randal'Thor I think the Hunger Games series is one of the few situations where the books and the films are pretty much as good as each other. Usually, one is clearly better than the other, and that isn't the case here.

Napoleon Wilson

1:41 PM

@Randal'Thor Yeah, I doubt even he considers himself being on this site, though, so I chose the safer wording. ;-)

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle I watched first one at home and decided to watch all when cable will broadcast them. Never read the book but I assumed it fall under "hey see best selling teen book franchise lets make as many films out of it "

@Randal'Thor who?

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma No, it was more "We need as many young adult films as possible. Let's grab anything we can and turn that into a film".

user116211

The accountant was given the power of attorney!!

Napoleon Wilson

@AnkitSharma Well, I think even in the book world they're at least considered better than many others of their likeness.

Ankit Sharma

Napoleon Wilson

@MAFIA36790 Is that the one where he trains a young newcomer who then becomes a total asshole and he must beat him?

user116211

@NapoleonWilson I don't know; still watching.

Napoleon Wilson

Oh.

user116211

Rocky is back in his old lair; wearing his old black hat.

Napoleon Wilson

Well, I don't know if that's what happened. But I faintly remember something like this.

I only know much about the 1st one and Rocky Balboa. The others I'm not even sure about ever having seen. Maybe the 2nd one a long time ago.

Dr R Dizzle

@NapoleonWilson Does he train his son or something? I'm sure there is a reference to his son in Creed.

@NapoleonWilson Does that mean you haven't seen Creed?

Napoleon Wilson

1:50 PM

@DrRDizzle I don't think so. I know his son from Rocky Balboa and it didn't seem like he was ever much actively into boxing.

Dr R Dizzle

@NapoleonWilson Ah, OK.

Napoleon Wilson

@DrRDizzle No, not yet.

user116211

He is standing in front of Mighty Mick's...

Dr R Dizzle

@NapoleonWilson I'm 99% sure I've said this before, but see that movie. It's ace.

Just solid film-making throughout.

Napoleon Wilson

@DrRDizzle I know, I'm also pretty sure you've heard before that I haven't seen it yet. ;-)

@DrRDizzle Maybe since it is different than all the other movies so far; it rather dealt with the psychological scenarios and also lots of drama; Taria has done some of the best moments of the movie so far - explaining the true value of the family Rocky was forgetting so far.

Gunn was always a lost cause for me.

steelerfan

@MAFIA36790 So...how did you like RockyV? You know that Sly's actual son plays his son in that movie, don't you? His son that died about 6-7 years ago, maybe.

Also...the actor that plays Tommy Gunn is John Wayne's great nephew or something.

Napoleon Wilson

@steelerfan Oh, I didn't know that.

But the one from Rocky Balboa was a different actor then, I guess?

steelerfan

@NapoleonWilson That his son was in the movie or that his son died?

Napoleon Wilson

@steelerfan Both.

steelerfan

@NapoleonWilson Yep different actor. Actually, Stallone's son is the baby in Rocky Ii and then he plays his son in Rocky V.

I believe that he died from a drug overdose. I can't remember.

I know everything about Rocky ;)

A: What boxing matches were the fights in Rocky based on?

The answer is YES and NO. Rocky and Rocky III both contain inspirations from the life of Chuck Wepner. Rocky II and Rocky IV do NOT contain any inspirations from the life of Wepner. Chuck Wepner was the original inspiration for the original Rocky movie from 1976 according to Sylvester Stallone....

Boom!

@NapoleonWilson Did you know that Travolta's teenage son died as well?

Napoleon Wilson

@NapoleonWilson I have just seen them all a bazillion times and I have seen every single behind-the-scenes thing about Rocky. My whole family loves Rocky ;)

@NapoleonWilson Is Walt really motivated by a +100 bounty? ;)

Napoleon Wilson

@steelerfan Well, I guess the bounty might as well just have driven his attention to the question. It took a little work to convince him of answering it at all.

But more often than not what you actually buy with the bounty is not only the motivation for people to answer the question, but also just the additional attention it gets for a week, which might show it to people who would have answered it but just never saw the question.

But I'm glad he answered it, since I had that question on my list for ages and the answer is pretty good.

I am curious about questions with lots of views but few likes. Is it possible to generate a report that ranks questions by likes per view? As an alternative measurement, is it possible to generate a report that ranks questions by difference between views and likes?

I would call you, but I have to go into AT&T to get some kind of card thing for my phone. It's actually been kind of nice not having a phone ;)

@NapoleonWilson Oh, God. Well, get underground, silly!

Napoleon Wilson

@steelerfan I see. :'(

@steelerfan Too busy taking photos of it.

steelerfan

@NapoleonWilson I'm sorry. I'm going to get it this afternoon. Just call me when you wake up tomorrow. All is well :)

Napoleon Wilson

@steelerfan I'm just joking. Don't worry. ;-)

@steelerfan What? I'm not that busy.

Sorry, I'm playing Minecraft meanwhile. It's not like I can't simultaneously have a chat conversation, it just might take a little longer for me to respond to pings.

@steelerfan Awww, have a good evening, too! :'(
