Q: How is a hanging scene filmed?

Needless to say that there are a lot of movies that contain a scene where a person is hanged, or commits suicide by hanging. How are such scenes produced? How to both ensure the safety of the actor as well as make it realistic on tape. In other words: "what is the state of the art when it comes ...

Q: How did stuntman mike evade the police after murdering 4 girls?

In Quentin tarantino's movie, "Deathproof", the villain Stuntman Mike murders four girls in a car accident by riding the car in wrong way. The four girls die, but he survives with minor injuries because of his stunt car. I didn't get the part where the police leave him with no charge even he ha...

Q: Please identigy an old action movie

OK, I'd be really, really glad to find the title of this film, which I've watched only once, as a kid. Chronologically: a space cop, or a bounty hunter, who is a human, but much smaller than Earth humans arrives on Earth, at the home of a lone woman. He wields a powerful pistol and is attacked b...

I'm not justifying questions that seem like zero effort was put into them. But food for thought:
1. Not everyone outside the Western world (or some even *in* it) would consider Google & IMDb as gospel and make it their home page and\or their 1st course of action.
2. Not everyone outside the US can easily recognize US films, just like I can't easily recognize Bollywood films since I know next to nothing about them.
3. When you Google keywords and an answer pops up right away, and you're amazed that an OP didn't think of that, remember that *Google results vary* based on the user. Google adap…

Ankit Sharma

@Walt are you answering the meta post of ID

nice answer but better put it there then here

Walt

No, this relates to the Intership question, which I actually don't think is that great and might even consider closable, but decided to tackle a few points after reading the comments to it.

Ankit Sharma

ohhh.....

I think its rude to close it just because its easy to answer

Anyways its still have only one close vote

Walt

@AnkitSharma It's a fine line. ID is bad when it's too vague and it's bad when it's too obvious. But I still don't think it's trolling like that Star Wars question, I think it's genuine

chaitanya89

Is there any room where we could talk about movies because this room seems to appear about evaluating quality of a question or an answer.

Walt

09:31

@chaitanya89 We do that sometimes too. Don't think the last couple of minutes are representative. ;)

chaitanya89

Oh okay.

Walt

@chaitanya89 We also talked shop a lot recently because of the graduation & election, but don't let that deter you

chaitanya89

okay.

Ankit Sharma

@chaitanya89 it depends on whats hot, we discuss here from movie to election to something off topic too

Dedicated rooms are easy to make but they got closed by time due to less activity

Walt

Movie talk. Erm. I saw Short Term 12 recently and liked it :)

@AnkitSharma Might still happen

chaitanya89

09:35

Actually I'm looking for a recommendation for movies similar to Blue valentine, Revolutionary road, Shame where the characters involve in an intense conversation about life and love.

@walt yeah, seen it too and really liked it. My fav line is like "why don't you let me take your hand and walk with you through all the struggle."

Ankit Sharma

Shame ........mmm.....Nymphomaniac: Vol. I and II but its bit darker and slower then shame

Walt

@chaitanya89 Yeah, the actors sold it well, the movie could've easily been cloying

@chaitanya89 All of Linklater's Before films?

chaitanya89

Seen them both, despite everyone bashing them and comparing them to porn, I liked them. I really liked the 2nd installment than the first.

Ankit Sharma

I don't know why but i though to flag it to open.

@chaitanya89 i liked them full but watched in buts and pieces, going to watch them full soon

chaitanya89

Serioulsly, Linklater's fan, recently seen the 3rd movie of "before" series. I really liked it, especially the last 40 mins, first it started too slowly but later it picked up the pace with excellent performances.

@Ankit sorry to hear that. Would have been an active participant, if I had known about chat rooms earlier.

Walt

09:40

@chaitanya89 I'll think about it then, you seem to be well versed in this genre already ;)

Ankit Sharma

@chaitanya89 i have flagged to open it, i think graduation can make it active again

chaitanya89

Yeah, I like drama and love movies very much, I'm still unmarried and having eagerness to know more about relations.

Ankit Sharma

hmmm........i am more into movie where relationship is not the primary thing

chaitanya89

@Ankit definitely count my vote for reopening the chat room. Where can I use the vote?

@Ankit hahaha.

Walt

There's older stuff like Allen's Annie Hall & Manhattan, of course

Ankit Sharma

09:44

@chaitanya89 can you go to that room

chaitanya89

Okay, I'll add it to my watch-list. I don't care if they're old but I really would like to hear about relations from the movies.

Ankit Sharma

I used moderator flag last time to open it

Walt

Um, I dunno what else, I'm blanking out. ;) Sideways?

chaitanya89

It's in my PC, I'll add it to my priority list. you talking about paul giamatti's sideways right?

Walt

Yup

Remember it's pretty good, but it's been years

chaitanya89

09:45

Okay, chat with you very soon regarding that movie.

It's okay, I can do sideways :)

Walt

There's also stuff that's a bit more peripheral, like Once and Safety Not Guaranteed

Christian Rau

@Walt To invade the discussion. Yeah, while I close-voted it for being one-sentence-no-info LQ stuff, I'd probably reserve the speech used in those comments for myself or chat.

chaitanya89

yeah I've seen them both and both are amazing, very emotional.

Walt

@ChristianRau It's just that I got an inkling that people are being attacked because they may be quote-unquote outsiders. I hope it's not the case.

Christian Rau

@AnkitSharma Not because it's too easy, but because it's an amount of information that let's me doubt the OP has even tried to put in all details he remembered. That's what "not enough detail" is for, not answerability.

Walt

09:51

Confessing that I haven't read all the comments here, but having the pop-up get in the way isn't that bad an idea, it'd be hard to ignore like that
http://meta.movies.stackexchange.com/questions/1580/feature-guidelines-for-identify-this-questions-reposition

And for the love of god, someone slap 'Genre' on it already :P

Christian Rau

@Walt Sure, I've upvoted it, once it was clear what the question wanted and what the existing feature couldn't provide.

@Walt Indeed, and enable it for identify-this-tv-show. Maybe one could add those requests into that question.

Or just make it editable easier, at the moment I think only SE emplyees can change anything with that.

Walt

@ChristianRau True

The effects are already showing, so more tweaks could only help

Christian Rau

@Walt Well, I'll try to trust your word on that.

Walt

@ChristianRau It's not a massive change, and the ID volume is still problematic. But on the surface, we seem to get less one-line, lower-case rubbish now.

@AnkitSharma Yep

Anyway, see you guys later, my planet needs me. [awkwardly removed from the frame]

@MovieReel That's why I wanted the reference CW question on main and not meta, you can't duplicate-link to a meta question. But it's already deleted anyway.

@ChristianRau I meant another market besides American movies.

atticae

@ChristianRau I don't think it's a good fit for main, it's fine on meta. I would've closed it with a reference to the meta duplicate.

Christian Rau

@MattD Oh, I thought you meant another market compared to the market served by the existing chat rooms. American movies don't really have a chat room at all.

@atticae You saying ID-this-image is not a good fit for main, heresy!

@atticae Well, technically we didn't ban anything. I would doubt that there's anything, not even a meta post, that actually rules them off-topic. But it's indeed hard to keep an overview of all those different rules for all those ID topics and which have an at least a semi-definite decision and which don't.

@AnkitSharma Can't really say anything rolls off the top of my head as far as another name. I don't really know that market well, but language wise "Indian Movies" just seems kinda bland to me. I'll likely almost never be in that room for anything serious, so yeah.
