Q: What does it mean, "coked-out MOR shit"?

In Rocketman (2019), songwriter Elton says to Reid: Elton: Why don't you sell my fucking records? Number 11 in Italy. Reid: The song doesn't work, that's the problem. The record's coked-out MOR shit. What does it mean, "coked-out MOR shit"?

Q: Was Frosty the snowman born on December 25 Christmas Day?

In the original movie the snow fell on the day before Christmas but it is not specified how many days it took for the children to build him. Is it assumed he was built within a single day on Christmas day?

I have recently seen Guillermo Del Toro's 3 great films The Devil's Backbone, Pan's Labyrinth and The Shape Of Water. I found a similarity between these films. All these are set in a time of some social breakdown or to be precise, war. All of them revolve around something supernatural with charac...

Q: What does the story means that Amy told on the girls night out in The Big Bang Theory

In season four of Big Bang Theory, The 21 Second Excitation, Bernadette dared Amy to tell a dirty story. The story Amy told was not in English (gibberish, I believe). However, I'm curious if what Amy said had some meaning. Does anybody know what that means?

How you got so much knowledge about Hollywood movies?

Memor-X

4:09 PM

@KnightadmiresChappo have not seen either one, though Doraemon interests me. can't think of any more like those though it depends on what you mean by "anime like", like are you referring to the genre, demographic, ect?

Ankit Sharma

@KnightadmiresChappo by watching them :D

I don't have any hobbies or talents to spend time with so watching movie/shows is my major source of entertainment

@KnightadmiresChappo there are quality stuff there too

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma or you're not an engineer but instead a rich son-of-a-bitch who spends your entire day watching films in his IMAX theatre in your top floor hotel penthouse

Ankit Sharma

@Memor-X wow I hope

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma yeh, it would be a dream

i'd spend my time playing games and watching anime

Ankit Sharma

@Memor-X Javicia Leslie is Batwoman now

Napoleon Wilson

4:13 PM

You can still be an engineer, though. Maybe that's how you got rich.

Ankit Sharma

se is bisexual and women of colour

@Memor-X I want to watch soem anime but soemthing like Death Note or Code Geass, which is less in episode and serious and good

any recomendation

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma i downloaded a video that was going to talk about that but didn't get the time to play it

> She will play Ryan Wilder for the show's second season

Ankit Sharma

Javicia Leslie is Batwoman! Zendaya's Malcom & Marie! Janelle Monae is Storm?

Memor-X

so they got rid of Kate Kane entirely it seems

Ankit Sharma

I follow this lady as her sources are almost always right

My bf hate her due to her high pitch voice :D

@Memor-X I told you long back

Napoleon Wilson

4:16 PM

@AnkitSharma Something less episodic, less serious and less good? ;-)

Ankit Sharma

@NapoleonWilson what :O

Comedy anime don't work for me, boobs jokes are weird in animation for me

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma what i mean is that if she's going to be Batwoman and not Kate, then even if Kate returns they wont have 2 Batwoman's so i suspect Kate will get axed from the plot

Napoleon Wilson

Batwomen.

Ankit Sharma

@Memor-X Arrow had two Black Canary , they justcalled other one Black Siren

CW love overfluded cast

Memor-X

@NapoleonWilson was trying to separate the 2 from also including Batgirl

Ankit Sharma

4:20 PM

There spinoff (cancelled I guess} Was Green Arrow and Caneries

Napoleon Wilson

Were they going to travel to the Canaries?

Ankit Sharma

@NapoleonWilson didn't we had Batmans and Batmen discusions or it was neibhours

Napoleon Wilson

Have, but I don't know.

Ankit Sharma

Zendaya made a movie in lockdown

With following rules

Napoleon Wilson

While?

Memor-X

4:22 PM

@AnkitSharma neither should matter unless it's related to the role. if they aren't and these were the traits they wanted it would seem more like inclusivity posturing to hide their past exclusivity

Napoleon Wilson

I was about to ask if only a bisexual woman can play a bisexual woman, but then rather didn't. ;-)

Ankit Sharma

@NapoleonWilson You forgot Ruby got backlash for not being lesbian enough?

Napoleon Wilson

I'm not really on top of Batwoman news. If not for this room I wouldn't even know such a show existed.

Ankit Sharma

@Memor-X CW was always incluisve with there DC stuff, maybe less inclusive of logic and quality

Napoleon Wilson

(It is a TV-show, right?)

Memor-X

4:25 PM

@NapoleonWilson well from what i understand the actresses who play Ava and Sara in Legend of Tomorrow are strait yet they have such chemistry on and off script so i would say no

Ankit Sharma

See Batwoman is lesbian in comics ( nobody care for old staright batwoman )

Ruby Rose played her being gender fluid lesbians

But fans said she is not lesbian nough

So CW was trying from start to have secodn batwoman also from LGBt spectrum to save backlash

@Memor-X but but but fandom don't talk with logic

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma lol, i know

still the possibility that the actresses are in the closest which oh my god would be the best if they were and started dating

Ankit Sharma

Ian McKellen is the best example , sexuality and acting are different things. Him being gay he mostly did string straight role so amazingly

Napoleon Wilson

See, I didn't even know he was gay.

Ankit Sharma

@Memor-X Ellen also came out after she came out in some show, so posibilty is there

Napoleon Wilson

4:28 PM

Or maybe I did and forgot.

Memor-X

and would be a nice replacement now that Nana, who voices Fate in Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha announced her marriage but it's not to Nanoha's Voice Actress, Yukari

Ankit Sharma

@NapoleonWilson because it shoudl not matter in ideal environment

Jared Leto got oscar for playing traswoman

Issue is when you overly whitewash or starightwash but casting should be based on skills

Napoleon Wilson

It's different if they made her character straight. That's kinda reason to complain if that's an essential part of Batwoman's identity.

Ankit Sharma

@NapoleonWilson agreed but I never was part of that overreacting complain fandom :P

Also I don't understand how much percentage of lesbian was good enough?

But on other note I do feel Ruby was not talented enough to be main lead, she fit well in support cast only

Memor-X

@NapoleonWilson depends on howclose they want to be with the original character depiction. people got pissed when Harley and Ivy was teased and then we got Ivy and fucken Kite-man

Napoleon Wilson

4:33 PM

But it's also a natural consequence. Identity politics and race/gender/sexuality checklists during casting are getting increasingly more prevalent and publicly scrutinized. The move from visual characeristics to things you actually could simply genuinely act without wearing make-up is just the next step.

Memor-X

just wait until graphics quality is that realistic we stopped hiring actors and just get voice actors

Napoleon Wilson

When people complain that only an Egyptian can play an Egyptian, you can't tell the others to shut up when they complain that only a lesbian can play a lesbian.

Ankit Sharma

I don't mind if they made batman gay and Harley staright as long as quality is there

@Memor-X lol

Memor-X

and then we get rid of them with synthesised voiced like Vocaloids

Keeping up with the Kardashians - made with terrible CG and Microsoft Sam voices

will still be the same show

Ankit Sharma

I heard mr kardesian presidency was joke tweet?

Memor-X

4:36 PM

might get more viewers because the CG can give them all stupidly large breasts

Napoleon Wilson

@AnkitSharma That's what people thought 5 years ago. ;-)

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma if so, typical and most likely just a publicity stunt for his new album

Ankit Sharma

Hear my new song "getting laid in white house"

Napoleon Wilson

@Memor-X Why would you need CGI for that?

Q: Is this painting based on a real painting?

In Fantastic Mr. Fox, Fox stands in front of a painting with a bunch of badgers standing around (pictured behind him in this still). Is it a parody with badgers of a real painting? Or is it simply stylized to look like a certain era?

Q: Who performed the Pied Piper’s flute in Shrek 1?

I know it was Jeremy Steig who did it in Shrek 4 and Thriller Night. I looked on IMDB and it listed Anthony Pike on the clarinet, Anna Noakes and Andrew Findon on the flute and Tom Boyd on the oboe. Could one of THEM have done the Pied Piper’s flute in Shrek 1?
