Q: Poster of The silence of the lambs

I watched The Silence of the Lambs couple of years ago. Yesterday I saw its poster online. It has a girl (which I am thinking is Clarice Starling, if I am not wrong) and a Moth (or maybe a butterfly) on its mouth. I am just wondering what does it mean? How is it related to the movie?

Q: Where does Luke Cage get the smart phone he uses?

But Luke is struggling to find cash for rent, and is trying to live off the grid by working off the books for cash, and do so honestly, all of ...

Q: Is the new Westworld HBO series a continuation of the story from the 1973 movie?

In the pilot episode of HBO's Westworld series there is mention that there hasn't been an "incident" with the robots in 30 years.

A: Did the filmmakers of Zootopia have a "gay agenda"?

except Anniyan and Baahubali which were really good

It's on same network + crossover

> Supergirl will appear on Arrow, The Flash, and Legends of Tomorrow during the 2016–17 season crossover episodes, though Guggenheim cautioned that "She is going to be coming over but we’re not going to do a full on Supergirl crossover".[82] Kreisberg also confirmed that, despite the series moving to The CW, the title character's universe would not be integrated into the Arrowverse.

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma That's odd. I would have assumed that priority number 1 now would be doing a "Flashpoint" in order to consolidate the two universes.

Ankit Sharma

@DrRDizzle No they are not consolidating it

Also if they consolidate, then it will create the issue why superman/girl not helping flash, arrow, vixen, LoT etc

A J

11:46

@AnkitSharma I see that Halloween and J-Horror ToW will be merged.

Dr R Dizzle

@AnkitSharma You're correct, but I would have assumed that all these shows were building up into a JSA show of some kind, led by Supergirl, Flash, Arrow etc.

A J

12:02

> You can run, but you cannot glide!

KutuluMike

@DrRDizzle give them a year.

last summer, Supergirl was "completely separate" from the Arrowverse; last october, Supergirl was "probably not" crossing over; last January, they announced a crossover.

Christian Rau

I recently read, though, that the officials said it's not part of the Arrowverse. And if anything, their word and/or that of Wikipedia counts more for me than some fan wannabe-theories.

KutuluMike

they said they were not merging the universes together, but the arrowverse is already a multiverse.

it just depends on how you define 'arrowverse'

which is primarily a fan term anyway

Christian Rau

@MovieReel Well, at the end of the day, let's just face it, that money-less society is plain bogus!

@AnkitSharma Anyway, the challenge is bound to the tag. So whatever goes for that tag goes for the challenge. But last time I checked we hadn't figured out the tag either (for exactly the same reasons). Some Supergirl questions have it and some don't.

Awwwww. More adorable baby pictures!!

@ChristianRau Why are you telling everyone to calm down on a meta post that nobody was even remotely worked up about? You and I obviously have different definitions to what being rude is or rude behavior, but, everyone is calm about it.

@AnkitSharma I know, right? I won a participation trophy!!

Christian Rau

@steelerfan Well, as said I didn't consider anything there rude bevahiour at all. But a comment was flagged as such and people were claiming comments to be "rude" in other comments. I know noone bisbehaved there, and I wanted to keep it this way, so I made a pre-emptive comment in order to quench a discussion that, while civil, was on its way to diverge from the actual matter.

steelerfan

Sure.

Christian Rau

I did not scold any of the commenters there. All I did was telling people to please concentrate on the matter at hand and neither impose bad intentions on either the asker or any of the other commenters, since clearly everyone there had good intentions and knew what he was talking about.

When I see a reasonable comment discussion attract a "rude or abusive" flag on a comment that isn't, I feel like saying something at least.

steelerfan

Hey, I didn't flag anything. I agree with whoever flagged it, though. That guy was rude, imo.

Christian Rau

15:58

I know you didn't, don't worry. Though, I didn't consider anything there actually rude. But well, I said what I think in my comment there.

Yet, I wonder how noone is even remotely worked up about anything when multiple users consider each other rude there. No matter if the flagger or the flaggee, but someone has to be worked up in some way.

And exactly that is why I left that comment, to calm down the situation. Since a situation where people consider each other rude, even if they still discuss in a civil way, is not entirely calm.

steelerfan

I'm not worked up at all. I was mildly irritated last night because I don't want a comment war with that guy. He is rude and persistent.

@ChristianRau Gheez. It's okay. I just asked a question about it. Nothing to get worked up about :P

Christian Rau

@steelerfan Well, the comment wasn't adressed at you alone.

@steelerfan Yeah, and I'm not "even remotely worked up about" it. ;-P

steelerfan

Best way to irritate steelerfan: Tell her to calm down when she's not even remotely worked up ;)

Christian Rau

I know, I know. Next time I'll preface the comment with @all-except-steelerfan. ;-)

steelerfan

@ChristianRau I know it wasn't. I was just asking a question about it!! OMG!! ;)

@steelerfan I know, and I answered it by explaining the background. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Christian Rau

Okay.

steelerfan

Gheez. I'm sorry if I ever gave you that impression. I thought that you knew me well enough by now to know that it takes quite a lot to seriously irritate me. I'm sorry. I was honestly just curious and asked a question :'(

It appears that I am not the only one who thought that his comments were rude, though.

Christian Rau

16:17

@steelerfan Oh, I didn't think you were seriously irritated, don't worry. (Which doesn't mean I wasn't afraid of actually skirting that line rather closely.)

You also might want to consider all the smilies I left after various chat messages, especially the last ones.

steelerfan

@ChristianRau Awww. Nothing to be afraid of. Don't be afraid of skirting a line because you might irritate me. You are entitled to your opinions even if I don't agree with them, it doesn't mean that you can't say what you're feeling. So what if it irritates me. I'll get over it. It's all good :)

Yes. I really need first class for that long of a flight.

No worries. I was just a little shocked is all.

@steelerfan Well, I am tremendously shocked.

@steelerfan That's just absolutely not worth it. It's crazy paying that much for a mere flight.

Seriously? You came over last time. That's not fair. I have the money for it. It's no big deal!

Christian Rau

@steelerfan But it's just way too much. I'd have that money too, but I'd never pay that much for it.

You're just sitting around for about 10 hours. 7,000$ for stretching your legs is just crazy.

@steelerfan Well, I'm just shocked you would pay that much money for it.

@steelerfan So you didn't ask your travel agent yet?

Isn't there something in between Economy Class and First Class? What's Business Class about?

steelerfan

@ChristianRau Are you going to be one of those people that nags me about what I spend my money on? ;)

@ChristianRau No. I sent her an email this morning.

Christian Rau

@steelerfan No, you can spend it on whatever you want. But pushing $7,000 dollars into, well, stretching your legs and sitting softly for about half a day is, I don't know, beyond comprehension for me. It also puts a responsibility on making that trip more than worth it. And in this case it's even more bugging that you won't be able to do all the England stuff, let alone stay longer than a week. I'm just worried you spend so much money on a trip that might just not be worth it.

MattD

@steelerfan When my wife and I flew to China last year, we got a flight on Delta in their Economy+ section. It adds 3 to 5 inches of extra leg room. Proved to be just fine for a 14 hour flight.

@MattD Do you get wifi?

Christian Rau

@steelerfan Okay, sorry, maybe I should just not worry about it now then. I was just heavily shocked, is all.

MattD

@ChristianRau Traveling by plane in the US is fucking expensive. My wife was looking at flights to South Dakota from Ohio for her youth group mission trip next year. She's opting to fly to Colorado and drive 5 hours instead of direct to South Dakota, a savings of over $7000 for around 20 people.

And those are for domestic flights.

@ChristianRau Okay. You need to chill out. I was only going to do it because I have never flown that long before is all. I'm sure that this would be the only time that I would do this. It's all good!

MattD

@steelerfan No, WiFi was not included, but on flights that long the in-flight entertainment is usually free. The flight TO China had seat-back entertainment systems loaded with movies and TV shows.

I watched Whiplash, The Theory of Everything, and Into the Woods on the flight. All of those had only been out for less than 6 months at the time.

Christian Rau

@steelerfan Maybe it might also be better to book it later? Or sooner? Just be sure to make your travel agent consider and check all possible options for improvement. Be sure to profit from her experience on that stuff.

@steelerfan Also I was mistaken, we flew United, not Delta.

steelerfan

@ChristianRau Yes, my dear. I'm not a total idiot ;)

Christian Rau

@MattD I got about 16 (reasonably recent and popular) films to watch whenever I want, and all I had to do was add an entertainment package for 7€.

steelerfan

I just hate normal coach. It sucks even on a 3-5 hour flight.

MattD

@ChristianRau Apparently for international flights, in-flight entertainment (not including Internet access) is included in the cost.

Christian Rau

I watched Mockingjay 2, The Big Short, The Force Awakens, In The Heart of the Sea and Concussion on both the flights.

@MattD Wasn't for me.

@steelerfan Well, sure. It might suck. But does it suck $7,000y?

@ChristianRau <sigh> I don't know. Forget that I even brought it up.

Christian Rau

@steelerfan I'm sorry. As I said, maybe I shouldn't worry so much about it now. You just swept me off my feet a little. I'll try to calm down.

steelerfan

@ChristianRau No worries. I have to go, anyways.

Christian Rau

@steelerfan Awww, I'm really sorry, I won't talk about it anymore. Please don't leave! :'(

steelerfan

I will be smelling a baby's head before the day is over!! :))

@ChristianRau I have to go. April is checking into the hospital to be induced at 1:30. I should have left 10 minutes ago.

Christian Rau

@steelerfan Oh, okay. Good luck then!

Anyway, geography effin' sucks!

I can speak English, but I can't drive 8,000km in 10 minutes. :'(
