Q: Why is it that new users to Movies & TV Stack Exchange (like me) are unable to ask good questions?

I am looking at the 15 newest questions. Out of the 15, only 7 have at least one upvote and are still open. This is <50% of all new questions. There are 6 questions asked by users with 150 reputation or less. Only 1 has at least one upvote and is still open. In other words, a stunning 83.3% of al...

@MetaReel They are not watching good films. ;-)

@M.A.R.ಠ_ಠ That is another point of debate.

BTW, your 83 % analysis is flawed. 15 questions are a very small sample, and they're not randomly chosen, either. A better sampling would be 1500 questions where the only thing they would all have in common is being posted by someone with low reputation. The results would still probably entail the same thing, but note that it's not necessarily causation (low-rep being the reason for poor reception), and it's natural considering your filters: Surely people with more rep have a better idea of how to write posts that are better received? — M.A.R. ಠ_ಠ 45 secs ago

@Memor-X This blue ranger becomes red ranger at the end of the series. Later his place is taken by Green Ranger.

@NogShine so then by extension, he is the red power ranger

Using 15 questions to come up with a percentage (sensitive to 1/100th, if not more) is like tossing a coin thrice and saying "there's a 66.7% chance it will be heads"

I rewatched Creed, and I don't get the part where he can correctly tell the numbers the ref is showing

They imply he can't actually see with his swollen eye

Unless I missed a joke from earlier where Rocky told him something like "he shows 4, then 2"

Or was it a reference to the Rocky vs. Apollo fight and he memorized the match by heart?

Q: Who was the youngest Executive Producer?

I was reading an article from Deadline stating that the teenage Stranger Things actor, Gaten Matarazzo will executive produce a new 'hidden-camera prank' TV series for Netflix. Gaten Matarazzo is 16 years old. This prompted me to wonder, who was the youngest Executive Producer to produce either ...

Q: What does "vrit' mean with reference to documentaries?

Over on EL&U, we are mystified by a usage of an unknown word: vrit ...as in The Interventionists is a half-hour vrit documentary that follows the days and nights of a unique mental-health crisis team. Also: "Forty-five years later, it remains a high mark for employing vrit styles t...
