I feel bad for the boom ops.
BTW #winterbash_hype
@CapyStenchbeast I don't. They usually get paid really well.
@Buffybot @Richard Don't leave, whatever you do. I'm puzzled as to why you two got extensions and I didn't, but I know that if I ask about it, I won't get an answer because privacy and stuff.
@CapyStenchbeast The ops usually have to be really reactive... when the camera moves, they have to keep the boom out of shot (and its shadow) and still have to manage to get as close as they possibly can to the frame. A still boom wouldn't be as responsive.
@Catija Makes sense.
19:03
@CapyStenchbeast I'm sure you'll get a good answer. I don't have time to address all of your points right now but there are some knowledgeable people about.
I was going to ask a question based on this song:
"What does the key grip do?"
"Set up lights"
"What does the best boy do?"
"Help the key grip"
"What does the producer do?"
"I don't know"
But the producer question was already asked.
@MovieReel Can you be angry at an upvote? (And for a question of a mother looking for a cartoon for her kid, no less?) I think I almost am. :/
@CapyStenchbeast - I have considered my position and I have decided on an appropriate course of action.
@Buffybot Don't leave me. I love you.
@Buffybot if you want to talk, my email is upstart chef at hotmail.com, all one word.
@Buffybot What sorcery is this?
19:10
@Buffybot Yeah, we all love the Buffy Bot! She always puts marzipan in my pie plate, bingo.
1) There is literally no point in protesting my suspension. It was largely prompted by my (to my mind perfectly valid) decision to flag Shog's posting telling everyone to "STFU" and is basically their way of spiting me. Protesting about a CM is pointless, hence I shan't bother.
2) On my return, I am evidently deeply unwelcome in the chatroom so Buffybot will remain purely a creature of Movies:SE
3) On my return, my sole course of action in protest is to simply withdraw my labour until my ban is complete. I intend to post answers but not edit, flag or follow the review queues. While I appreciate that this might seem a small (and largely futile) gesture, it's notable that I am the site's single largest editor by a factor of nearly 3
@Buffybot I must've missed some intrigue. Again. :( In any case, glad to see you're still here, Richard(?)
Well, I understand your position, but I hope you come back to chat. I consider you a friend, as far as friends exist on SE. You're a good egg.
@Walt - Adsum hic maneo
@Buffybot Ipso facto, Yanaglachi.
[Scrolling up a bit]
19:20
4) I don't intend to arrange any further 'movie nights'. If others wish to do so, I will be happy to lurk and watch along, but obviously if I'm not in a position to contribute, then it's worthless being the one who sorts them out.
Fair enough. I'll relay all of this to Mos tonight.
@Buffybot Let's have an impromptu one right now! Anyone has a copy of Holy Grail on hand?
And I can't ask Ana why you two got extensions, but I can (and will) ask why I didn't.
The whole thing is rather confusing.
Send me an email, we'll talk.
Now we should probably stop clogging M&TV's nice room with SF&F politics.
@CapyStenchbeast Still a bit in the dark myself, but I see I'm not supposed to ask.
@Walt There was unpleasantness in SF&F's chat last week. Three of us were suspended for a week and the room was frozen. The room has since reopened, and my suspension ends tonight, but the other two got extended suspensions. That's about it.
19:28
@CapyStenchbeast Thanks.
@CapyStenchbeast Wow, how much unpleasantness was that?
I think it was more a culmination of long term problems than anything else.

Q: Italian film about a photographer

qpkobAn Italian film about a guy whose girlfriend leaves him because of his obsession with photography. Probably from 1970s or 1980s. In one scene he photographs himself, zooming in his eye. He has a small billiards table at home. Italian style, with pins.

You're intriguing me, and it's hard for me to stop asking more.
Check SF&F meta.
I don't think it's fair to @NapoleonWilson and @AnkitSharma to fill their site's main chat with the dirty laundry of another site any more than we've already done.
19:33
OH MY . . .
@CapyStenchbeast Fair enough. Goofy animal pics it is!
I think I challenged you above to find some unusual ones of highland cattle
@CapyStenchbeast Och aye the noo!
@CapyStenchbeast Ah, it's like looking in the mirror. Thanks a bunch
SW:TFA presales doing well. This flick is going places, mark my word
It's gonna be the little behemoth that could

Q: A scary puppet animation about land of the dead

qpkobI saw it as a child in the 1970s. A puppet animation probably from Middle or Eastern Europe. Story is about someone (probably a princess) whose parents are told a singing voice will attract her to death. They close all the doors and windows but one small window high up is left open. There's a ...

@Walt didn't it already break opening day records or something?
@MikeEdenfield - Any ideas as to what the stormtrooper is using to block a lightsaber?
1. Why is the Rebel Alliance logo on this test?
2. The teacher misspelled "barnacle".

Q: Identifying a movie about witches running an orphange

agf2ukI remember watching a film when I was a child in the 80's. I think it was a children's film, and was either British or American. A group of witches (I think three) running an orphanage or workhouse type establishment. I remember children being forced to run on a hamster-wheel type contraption to ...

Q: A movie about a comunist society

CiceroDoes anyone know the name of a European movie from the 1980´s or early 90´s about a boy who grows up in a socialist-comunist society and grows like an almost mute adult, violent, etc. ? I remember a scene of boys having a bath with cold water in a school, and the boy calling the teacher "comrade"...

22:11
@Catija - confirmed: Your friend is exactly who I thought he was. comicbook.com/2015/11/19/…
He'll be a good guy, albeit a disfigured one.
@CapyStenchbeast Ah, cool! They wrapped shooting yesterday.
I have an old high school friend (who I've not seen since HS) who's working Grip and Electric on Walking Dead and he posted a photo of the wrap present he got from his lead.
@Catija I'm surprised they confirmed it so early. But I guess the comic book readers had it figured out, so there was no point pretending it was a secret.
probably.
@Catija Anything good?
@CapyStenchbeast Booze in a special bottle.
22:20
Nice!
and a jacket...
The guy on the left has been on the show since the beginning, hence the 6 bars on the shoulder.
:D
I know the difference between right and left...

22:26
Lurker stars!
@CapyStenchbeast Yeah... sure. Says the guy who stars half of the posts in any room he's in.
I can prove it.
That one was me.
HA HA... Hm... Now I have to figure out who it was :p... and that one... damn it...
STOP SPYING ON US!
hehe
/fades
22:29
Six and a half hours left.
Not sure I'll make it that long.
i didnt risk making another account during my suspension, so i just watched in agony
I already had one. I wouldn't have made one.
i figured well i got in trouble for 2, better not make a 3rd and leave that one around for future temptation.
I'm going to merge the accounts tomorrow. I voted and stuff with this one, and I don't want to accidentally vote twice on one post.
Sounds like a smart choice.
22:35
I'm a lot of things, many of them bad, but I'm not a liar or a cheater.
:)
i probably should have attempting that, my other account actually was worth more then i had gifted myself, since i originally ran it at home, and this one from work. probably would have still gotten in trouble, but now we have a few no owner questions and answers floating around
^thats a shame
the regret that poor doggy has
@Himarm Yeah, because it's not like he immediately ate it off the ground or anything.
@CapyStenchbeast I preferred Gob's dancing that Phantom 42 posted :)
@CapyStenchbeast my cat wont eat certain things if they hit the ground, she wants to eat her people food out of your hand/off your plate
@Himarm Cats are wrong.
her favorite is Cheerios she loves them, and will eat 10+ off your hand
Cats are pure evil.
@CapyStenchbeast Nice question about the boom operator. Hopefully Catija will answer it. She's awesome at those :)
Kitten Mittons!
22:49
@CapyStenchbeast most of his idea wold make millions
im going to be drinking hard liquor out of a pop can all night
mostly because i dislike the quantities of wine i have to consume
@Himarm No way! I don't believe you ;)
@Himarm I think that was Frank's idea.
@steelerfan sadly i have to leave the comfort of my home for a house warming party tonight, so ill be starting my friday night schedual later then usual :(

Q: how can i remove salt from a saline infused pork sirloin roast? I purchased 4 of them

Jo GelardHow can i remove salt from a saline infused pork roast. I purchased 4 of them. After making the first one I could not eat it. I am on a low sodium diet.

@CapyStenchbeast ah yeah, franks the real genius of the outfit.
22:52
Then why did you buy a four saline-infused pork roasts?
@Catija LOL
@Catija I would not even do something that stupid.
@Catija Hey, who is the lady on Food Network that has spiked blonde hair and yells a lot?
22:54
Guy Fieri
:)
@CapyStenchbeast LOL!
@CapyStenchbeast HA HA HA... not a lady.
@Himarm That's her!! I cooked a dish from a cookbook of hers that my sister has. It was like doing calculus. I was so confused. I had to google what "fold" meant in cooking terms. It wasn't pretty.
22:59
@steelerfan Not saying anything.
@steelerfan When in doubt, ask Wad.
@CapyStenchbeast And, if you can't find him, me. :P
Also, throw that cookbook away. Get ATK and Jacques Pepin and Julia Child instead.
James Beard, too.
@Catija Feel free to call me an absolute dumbass. I hate cooking terms. Why couldn't they just say 'stir lightly' how in the hell am I supposed to know what 'fold' means.
Folding isn't really stirring.
It's more like rowing.
23:01
Because it's not "stir lightly" you have to pull the material from the bottom and fold it over onto the top... it's really important when you have airy stuff you don't want to deflate.
The motion is similar to rowing a canoe properly.
@CapyStenchbeast Probably why the dish turned out bad :)

Q: Which answer has earned highest bounty in SE network?

SS-3.1415926535897932384626433An old famous question was recently solved on SciFi.SE and the answer has got 2000 reputation as bounty so far. Answer of famous Number 3 Monster question: http://scifi.stackexchange.com/a/105743/931 (Check comment on it to get an idea) It got me wondering which answer in SE network has earned h...

SFF invades SE Meta...
I seriously doubt I'm going to be awake at midnight.
Honestly, I have a difficult time believing that any other SE uses bounty awards the way SFF has on that 3 question... that's really a 5 question.
23:04
@Catija I wish that's how google described it. I am better off just NOT cooking.
@steelerfan That's why you need to find videos so you can see the techniques rather than try to understand them from words or images.
@steelerfan Jacques Pepin's Techniques ftw
Pepin is perfect for learning technique. He knows the proper methods and most other chefs use his methods...
@Catija Honestly, if I got any type of enjoyment from cooking, I would. I just have meals for myself now, so I just make simple things.....like salad :)
@Catija Because he learned the right way - by being an apprentice for years. He's among the last of that generation.
@Catija OMG. I see. I was just stirring really slow. I am such an idiot!!
@CapyStenchbeast SHOCKER!!!
@steelerfan It's ok. It's a complex concept... it's just really basic for people who cook a lot... particularly bakers like me.
23:12
@steelerfan The first CIA recipe I ever made called for "lightly toasted flour". It was a disaster. Without the fundamentals, you have no way of knowing.
I love watching baking shows on Food Network, I just don't like baking. I am a very bizarre individual :)
I HATE baking.
HAAAAATE.
@CapyStenchbeast Baking is the best. :D
I don't really like watching cooking shows. I like Bobby Flay and watching Iron Chef sometimes, but the judges are such pretentious assholes, it ruins it for me.
23:24
That's pretty much me in the kitchen :)
@CapyStenchbeast LOL! I love the Swedish chef!
I never would have thought that ;)
23:31
Did all of you get owls out of your system? I see the owl room has been dormant....
For now....
Oh God.
I went over to my sister's house yesterday. The first thing I saw when I walked in was that damn husky as her screensaver. She really sucks.
I like the doughnuts one.
I miss the Muppet show :(
23:36
There's a new one, but it looks bad.
@steelerfan ... yeah... because the fact it's currently airing is irrelevant.
The Muppets (stylized as the muppets.) is an American television comedy series that premiered on September 22, 2015 on ABC. Co-created by Bill Prady and Bob Kushell, the series is produced by ABC Studios and The Muppets Studio, with Randall Einhorn and Muppet performer Bill Barretta serving as executive producers alongside Prady and Kushell. The series is set in Los Angeles and depicts the everyday personal and professional lives of The Muppets during production of Up Late with Miss Piggy; a fictional late-night talk show starring Miss Piggy and airing on the ABC network after Jimmy Kimmel Live...
@Catija It's not the same watching it as an adult. I should have said that I miss being a kid and watching the Muppet show.
Ah, sure. :D
Confession: I was such a wuss as a kid that I was scared of Pigs in Space. And the news anchor who always had funny things happen to him. And Sweetums.
23:40
And nothing counts as Muppets if Jim Henson wasn't involved.
@CapyStenchbeast Do you remember"The Great Space Coaster" ?
Vaguely.
I remember the theme song.
It was a cheap knock-off of the Muppet show.
It was the only thing on weekday mornings before school.
I was more of a Fraggle Rock/Muppet Show purist as a kid.
but it had an awesome credits scene
23:43
Great Space Coaster did?
@MikeEdenfield LOL!
I must admit that I became a Bowie fan after watching "Labyrinth"
OMG!!! Lol!!
@steelerfan Did you see the screenshot of the English language version of the Nintendo Labyrinth game?
23:48
That.is.Awesome.
Jennifer Connolly was just as annoying in that movie as her little brother.
Ugh. Gotta go to work :( I am outta here for now.
@steelerfan byeeeee
@CapyStenchbeast See you in Mos later :)
@steelerfan Hopefully.
@CapyStenchbeast well, we have "Hospital" in German, too.
@Loong I was hoping someone would correct that if appropriate.
I have a bunch of them.
