A J
5:00 PM
@steelersquirrel One for being trivia and one, still laughing about it, for being an ID. What happened to users of this site?
 
Oh...looks like @AJ had the same question ;)
 
A J
@steelersquirrel ?
 
@AJ About the close votes
 
A J
ok
 
Can you see who cast those votes?
 
A J
5:01 PM
Only mods can
but wait a minute
 
I just hope that it's an honest mistake and nothing malicious.
 
A J
One is panther. I don't know about the other
@steelersquirrel Yeah, me too.
 
WTF? Bandwagon voting...would everyone believe me now that a meta should be raised about this?
Of course, I'm not raising it, but still ;)
@NapoleonWilson OMG!!!!!! Okay, okay...go cut your hair :)
 
@steelersquirrel What? Why?
 
A J
It has been more than 20 minutes. Wow. New Record.
 
5:15 PM
@steelersquirrel It's not exactly bandwagon, though. One of the close-votes is stupid, the ID one, but the other one isn't for the same reason. I agree the question isn't trivia, but it's not exactly a case of bandwagon close-voting. (Besides that, I'm not entirely convinced about the motives behind the trivia close-vote to being with.)
@AJ What exactly was I supposed to reply to your last message anyway? ;-)
 
A J
@NapoleonWilson this ;-)
Anyway, you can see who voted to close before question is closed, can't you?
 
@NapoleonWilson Because of the pics you sent me. It's totally out of control. You're a wild man! ;)
@AJ Hehehe! Napoleon is taking less than 20 minutes to respond? No way! What's happening with the world? ;)
 
A J
:D
 
@AJ Yes, but I won't tell you.
 
A J
@NapoleonWilson I don't want you to. Though I know one culprit. ;-)
 
5:24 PM
@steelersquirrel Well, I was right out of the shower. I also included more restrained pics. ;-)
 
@NapoleonWilson Hehehe! I know! I saw! Could you be any more adorable?
 
@NapoleonWilson We don't want you to tell us...we're just curious if you guys can see who cast the votes. Just because someone doesn't give the same vtc reason, doesn't mean that it's not bandwaggoning.
 
A J
I can give name of one culprit.
 
Didn't you already say one was Panther?
 
5:29 PM
@AJ If you mean Panther, he's obvious from the review item, I guess?
 
A J
Oh I did.
@NapoleonWilson Top marks.
 
Anyway, in fact whoever close-votes a question isn't exactly sectret information either, since once it's closed, the people's names are put in public anyway.
 
If that question gets closed, I am leaving and never coming back.
 
A J
@NapoleonWilson We can't really tell until it is closed.
 
@steelersquirrel Well, it won't get closed, as simple as that.
@steelersquirrel But it still hurts to see you say stuff like that. :'(
 
5:39 PM
@SQB Looks like the edit helped! Nicely done.

Q: Which Mad Men episode is this?

NedAnyone knows which episode this scene was in?

 
@NapoleonWilson Oh, God. I'm sorry. I wasn't serious. I promise :)
 
SQB
@Catija I just followed your suggestion, really.
 
@SQB Sure, but you actually did the work and that's most of the battle :D
 
5:55 PM
I heard Transcendence wasn't supposed to be particularly good, eh?
Though, it has Rebecca Hall.
 
No clue about Transcendence or this Rebecca Hall person.
 
@steelersquirrel Wut? She's hawt!
 
A J
bleh
 
A J
Oh it was not for Rebecca Hall
 
6:01 PM
OMG! Well...I don't know every hot girl on the planet ya know ;)
 
A J
I was talking about the Taylor Swift's song.
 
@steelersquirrel Oh? I thought there was some kind of hawt girl club and you all know each other. ;-)
 
@NapoleonWilson Hehehe! I guess that my membership was revoked ;)
 
@AJ What Taylor Swift song? (Anyway, in that case feel free to "bleh" as much as you want.) ;-)

@steelersquirrel Awww, why?
 
A J
haha
 
6:04 PM
Oh...this Rebecca person was in The Gift and The Awakening I know who she is now ;)
 
A J
I saw her in The Prestige
 
@steelersquirrel And The Prestige and Iron Man ...3(?).
I think there's also a film with her and Eric Bana about terrorism surveillance in Britain that I once saw a trailer of but never ever heard anything about again.
 
@NapoleonWilson Hahaha! OMG. I don't know...maybe because I'm just normal and not hot...I have always been "cute" Kim's the hot one ;)
 
@steelersquirrel You be talking nonsense now!
 
@NapoleonWilson Oh, right. The Prestige. I know nothing of Ironman ;)
 
6:08 PM
@steelersquirrel I thought you had seen at least one of the Iron Man films, though.
 
Yeah...a little of the first one.
@NapoleonWilson Awwwww. Well...right back at ya babe ;-*
 
Awww, meesa bees thankful. ;-*
 
@NapoleonWilson Have you seen The Awakening?
 
@steelersquirrel No. To be honest I haven't even heard of it yet.
Wait, I might have heard about it when it was in cinemas, or seen a trailer for it.
 
OMG! It's sooooo good! Your gf, Rebecca is a paranormal investigator in the late 19th early 20th century. She tries to disprove ghost stories and sightings. It's really good.
 
6:13 PM
Yeah, that sounds familiar.
Ouh! Wait a minute, I think I have seen that. Right, it was quite interesting.
 
She's good in that. I love her accent!
I believe you see her bewbs in it...
There is a scene where she's in the bathtub
 
Well, that I don't know.
 
OMG! OMG! Have you seen Jennifer Eight with Uma Thurman?
 
@steelersquirrel Yeah, quite some time ago, though. It's really good. I usually like Andy Garcia pretty much.
 
@NapoleonWilson Another movie that shows Uma Thurman and her awesome bewbs co-starring John Malkovich.
 
6:23 PM
Gheez, I talk about Andy Garcia's acting chops and all you care is Uma Thurman's tits. ;-P
 
Haha! Awwwww. I'm sorry. I have just not seen it before and I watched it this morning. I'm totally envious of her bewbs, so I get a thrill every time I see them in a movie ;)
 
Oh, really? It's comparatively old.
One of the great early 90s thrillers.
 
I know! It's from 1988! I hadn't even heard of it before! Then I started watching it and saw that Andy Garcia was in it and then John Malkovich was in it and then Uma Thurman showed her beautiful and awesome bewbs!!! Triple awesomeness!!!
 
Wut? IMDb says 1992.
 
Er...huh? The info on Direct TV said 1988...
 
6:34 PM
Hmmm...
Anyway, another great Andy Garcia film I always like to watch, but which I think is somehow less known than others of him would be Night Falls on Manhattan. It's a great law piece from Sidney Lumet.
 
I haven't heard of it :(
I love When a man loves a woman. I love him in that movie!
 
Yeah, I've seen that a long time ago, though, and don't remember too much, other than that it was quite good.
 
Andy Garcia is the ultimate man in that movie. He's awesome!
 
Of course, when I say that I just mean that fantasy figure from secular culture. In the same way I celebrate christmas as a secular cultural holiday.

Q: Why does Sherlock use "God"-expressions when he does not believe in god?

OalwqSherlock does not believe in god and has often ridiculed the idea. Yet, quite often, he uses expressions like "Dear god", "for gods sake" and "Oh god". Why?

Q: Revenant movie Leonardo DiCaprio

anonymousWas the ( SHOT ) horse a real horse ? In the beginning scenes, when th Ed men are running heading for the boat , a quick clip shows a barely clothed man come out of a tent or some type of structure. ( He aims a gun and SHOOTS a horse ) He turns and wobbles back into the covering. It didn't mak...

 
6:47 PM
What in the heck are you talking about?
 
A recent question.
 
@MovieReel Gheez. Calm down. Just because we don't ask about the horse doesn't mean that we don't care ;)
 
I am back
 
I really don't see how they can shoot an actual horse...but, okay.
 
Yeah, if in doubt, no, they didn't shoot an effing horse while filming the movie!
(Especially when they need multiple takes for that scene.)
 
6:51 PM
Hehehe!
 
People have "film-shot" horses and other people for decades in Hollywood.
 
@NapoleonWilson not really cake cutting is most important part of birthday celebration. Few years ago I cut almost 5 cakes on my birthday
 
Wow. Well, here we don't really eat cakes for dinner. (Not that I would have a problem with that.)
 
@NapoleonWilson They obviously brought in horses by the truckloads to shoot in case they needed to refilm any scenes. Duh.
 
@steelersquirrel Yeah, and after that the trucks head off to the glue factory, I guess.
(Or the butcher for that matter.)
 
6:54 PM
@NapoleonWilson Totally! It happens all of the time ;)
 
Coincidentally, I just ate sour roast for lunch today (though, from beef actually, even though it's a classic horse dish, too).
 
@NapoleonWilson Would you eat pie for dinner?
 
@steelersquirrel ohh common mod can reopen it in half second
 
@steelersquirrel What's the difference between cake and pie?
(Oh wait, are we even talking about actual pie?)
 
@NapoleonWilson surprise 12 o clock cake, in birthday dinner party we cut cake, then if we go to office people bring cake for us too
 
6:57 PM
> Uh, sir, why don't you just use real cows?
> Cows don't look like cows on film. You gotta use horses.
> What do you do if you want something that looks like a horse?
> Uh, usually we just tape a bunch of cats together.
Relevant Simpsons quote.
 
@NapoleonWilson Duh...wut??? You don't know the difference between cake and pie? Have you NEVER eaten a piece of pie before?
 
@AnkitSharma Well, we usually bring the cake for the other people. Afterall, it's your honour day, so you're supposed to invite the others.
 
@NapoleonWilson uhuunnn
 
@steelersquirrel ...
 
@NapoleonWilson on Birthday party dinner yes and no ( it depends ) but on office and 12 o clock surprise party no
 
7:01 PM
Well, if it's a surprise you obviously can't bring the cake yourself.
 
@NapoleonWilson Hehehe! Surprisingly enough, I'm talking about actual pie...not American Pie ;)
 
@steelersquirrel Really? Well, then the question still stands. Those cooking and baking terms always confuse me.
 
@Catija Yeah it deserved to be stayed. Didn't got time for it before :/ Maybe I can compensate by upvote
@NapoleonWilson But in office too, your teammates Sr/Jr bring cake for you. It's kind of ritual here
 
@NapoleonWilson A pie has a crust with filling. A cake is...er, a cake with frosting.
 
I've probably eaten a pie before, but didn't call it that. We have two words for those big baked things, too. But I doubt they're translatable one to one to "cake" and "pie". One is for rather warm-prepared and whole-baked things and the other is for something rather cold-prepared with only a baked base. But I don't know if that is even accurate.
For example you'd never make a wedding cake, you'd make a wedding tart. But I doubt tart is the correct word in English either.
 
7:04 PM
Anyway XXX 3 was cool action, who gives a shit to science film. Almost no need to watch previous film.
 
@steelersquirrel Does it always have to have frosting?
 
@AJ ^^
 
translate: Torte
(from German) Cake
translate: Kuchen
(from German) Cake
;-(
 
tart is completely different thing. It's not a cake.
Ohh you mean torte, then no idea
 
translate: Pastete
(from German) Pate
Drgh! I thought that could be a pie.
 
7:06 PM
Pie
Cake
 
Pie is just not my kind of thing. I will love some cake or tart instead
 
@steelersquirrel Yeah, that's a "Kuchen".
@steelersquirrel While that could be a "Kuchen" or a "Torte", I guess.
I'm sure there's a Seasoned Advice question for this, it's a common confusion.
 
Ask Catija, she is our seasoned advice expert
 
@NapoleonWilson That's an Apple pie. Next time you see one, just stick your fingers in it. It feels waaaaay different than a cake. You can decide for yourself if I'm talking about actual baked goods or not ;)
 
@steelersquirrel Yeah, that seems...easy to guess there.
 
7:10 PM
I don't see what's so confusing about telling the difference between pie and cake...
 
@steelersquirrel No, that seems rather straight forward. I'm talking about the difference between languages and the non-bijective mapping between terms.
 
@steelersquirrel neither do I
 
@steelersquirrel I'd eat a bunch of that chocolate cake right now, though. :'(
 
@NapoleonWilson Awwwww. Oh, God. I would totally get you chocolate cake for your Birthday if I could. Poor baby :(
@AnkitSharma Ankit! How are you?
 
Are you guys pushing me to eat some chocolate right now
@steelersquirrel I am good
 
7:17 PM
I'm actually starting to feel nauseated thinking about eating sweet stuff.
 
I am surely going for chocolate now, even when I already eaten up a lot
 
Chocolate. Yuck.
<gag>
 
uhuunnn
Everyone have faults, this is yours :P
 
'nneed.
 
Hehehe!
Okay...if my one and only fault is hating chocolate, that's cool :P
 
7:24 PM
Of course it is!
 
@steelersquirrel Mine is a long list.
 
@NapoleonWilson Awwwww. We both know that's not true, but okay ;)
 
Okay, I'm just trying to be nice Of course that's true!
 
Oh, Kate Mara is in that film, too. (And Morgan Freeman, but that's less surprising.)
And Cillian Murphy. Gheez, Nolan really gave his phone book to his cinematographer.
 
7:35 PM
which film?
 
Transcendence.
 
@NapoleonWilson Hehehe! Of course ;)
 
@NapoleonWilson Is not supposedly bad film?
 
2 hours ago, by Napoleon Wilson
I heard Transcendence wasn't supposed to be particularly good, eh?
 
ohhh
missed that
I was in movie theater that time :D
 
7:38 PM
It's on TV, though. And it's the first time for months that I can actually watch a sunday prime time blockbuster.
 
Awwww. Has football got in your way?
 
You are watching a TV broadcast film and no party on your birthday and I though I am the one with no life.
 
@steelersquirrel That's not a bad thing, though, I wasn't complaining really.
@AnkitSharma Well, a great deal of my life is waiting for me 8000 km away. Besides that, I'm enjoying it and I have to watch football after that anyway. ;-)
Why doesn't the title of this thing surprise me? ;-)
Anime (cue "Aliens"-guy with weird hair meme).
 
@NapoleonWilson Awwww. Of course, babe :)
 
Darn, missed a conversation about pie/cake/tarts.
 
7:50 PM
My brother sucks so bad...all rilling up in here in his Cowboys gear! Argh!
 
@Catija Yeah, and even about actual ones, can you believe it? ;-)
 
SQB
@steelersquirrel My brother is hoping for a Steelers vs Falcons Superbowl.
 
She too.
@steelersquirrel Are you at your parents'?
 
SQB
Then again, he wanted the Packers to win their next game...
 
7:54 PM
@NapoleonWilson Yes!
 
@Catija no worries we can rewind it
 
Maybe she knows about a canonical Seasoned Advice question explaining the relations between the various things across languages.
 
Well, @steelersquirrel seemed to be getting sick from the discussion, so I think we probably shouldn't.
@NapoleonWilson Sure, we have that but it's mostly between versions of English... I think there's a second one with English -> non English "false friends" - terms that look the same/similar but aren't.
 
I know the general one, where the 5 million meanings of "to cook" are elaborated upon and compared to different languages.
 
@Catija Hahaha! No, no...it's all good! Please, share your expertise!

Q: What international cooking terms sound similar but have different meanings?

There are also examples in the other direction, w...

 
@Catija For non-English people that thing seriously lacks pictures. ;-)
 
@Catija I can spot chutney there
@NapoleonWilson agreed
 
@NapoleonWilson Hmmmm. An interesting thought.
Maybe links to the respective Wikipedia pages would be shorter than hundreds of images?
 
I'm already regularly failing with the whole bacon/ham thing.
@Catija Yeah, I wasn't entirely serious. But that could be a good idea indeed.
Also the fact that here we rarely ever barbecue but instead grill stuff.
 
SQB
@Catija Added one about Dutch cake.
 
8:05 PM
Oh, massive fireworks outside! \o/
 
for ur birthday O.o
 
SQB
@NapoleonWilson For you!
 
I don't know, maybe.
Or it's the local branch of the Martin Luther King Memorial Association.
 
I called your neighbors. They're setting those off for your Birthday. Duh.

@NapoleonWilson Is that a thing in Germany?
 
8:09 PM
@steelersquirrel So u r still typing from inside the cake?
 
@AnkitSharma HAHAHA!!! Yeah...I totally surprised Napoleon by coming out of a cake. He put me back in it ;)
 
Ohhh
 
I don't blame him. I would put me back in too :P
 
Oh, do they have the whole Peperoni thing in that answer?
@Catija I doubt it. ;-)
 
@NapoleonWilson What's that?
 
8:13 PM
@Catija Apparently Usonians mean a kind of salami with that word, while Germans actually mean chili peppers.
 
Yes, it's on there, actually.
 
That's quite confusing when talking about peperoni(DE)-filled olives. But then to find out that are actually exist peperoni(US)-filled olives too is even more baffling. ;-)
 
So what's the meat commonly put on pizza in Germany called?
 
Bottom line: I will eat either type of pepperoni out of an olive ;)
 
I've never heard the word Pfefferoni, though. We just say Pepperoni, too.
@Catija Salami.
 
8:17 PM
You should come in the Frying Pan and talk to Stephie about it. She's German, too.
But "salami" here is totally different... :( It's not spicy.
 
Uff Ben 10 is rebooted and looks more cartoony now
 
Well, we call all kinds of salami salami, peppered, paprika, Hungarian,...
In fact I ate a delicious venison(deer?) salami over christmas.
 
SQB
@NapoleonWilson s/dear/deer/
Ha, my Trump / MH-17 on Skeptics question has hit the HNQ!
 
Besides that, there's also pizza types with non-spicy salami on it anyway.
I'm afraid to ask, but what is an MH-17?
Is that a sub-branch of MK-Ultra? ;-)
 
It's the precursor to MI-5, obviously...
:P
MG, MH, now MI...
 
8:25 PM
Ah.
 
... joking. I have no clue what it is.
 
Well, I didn't actually believe you. ;-)
 
Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 (MH17/MAS17) was a regularly-scheduled international passenger flight from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur. On 17 July 2014 a Boeing 777-200ER, which was operating as Flight 17, was shot down, killing all 283 passengers and 15 crew on board. Contact with the airliner was lost about 50 km (31 mi) from the Ukraine–Russia border, and it crashed near Torez in Donetsk Oblast, Ukraine, 40 km (25 mi) from the border. The crash occurred during the Battle in Shakhtarsk Raion, part of the ongoing war in Donbass, in an area controlled by the Donbass People's Militia. The crash is the...
This makes much more sense.
 
Oh, that thing.
And now I'm equally afraid to ask what Trump did do in that.
 
dailywire.com/news/9590/… Just more "proof" that Trump and Putin are working together.
 
8:36 PM
Okay...do you have your non-Cowboy hat on @NapoleonWilson? ;)
 
@steelersquirrel Not yet. 'S i' star'in' 'lready?
 
Isn't @MattD a Packers fan?
 
I thought so, yeah. But I think he's more of a college guy to begin with, if I remember correctly.
 
@NapoleonWilson No...but, my brother is running around here smack talking already ;)
 
Anyway, hat put on!
 
8:40 PM
Yay! I gotta get out of here. I will call you around 2-2:30 PST :)
 
@steelersquirrel Sure, have fun!

Noice. ;-(

Q: Why is Adaptation-DIfferences tag being removed from my question?

cdeMy question How closely tied into the source material is Assassin's Creed? is specifically about the differences between the source material and the movie adaption. So why is the tag being removed multiple times? http://movies.stackexchange.com/revisions/66640/5

 
10:14 PM
@SQB My current working theory is that nearly any question mentioning Tump has at least a 50% chance to end up on HNQ. If you use this hint, I expect royalty payments on the patent contained in this post off any rep earned.
@Catija Link? I think I might have enough rep to delete on MTV, though it's not binding
 
@DVK-in-Florida Too late.
Besides that, flagging would be better in that case.
 
@DVK-in-Florida It got deleted already but thanks!
 
@NapoleonWilson Ha! This is one case where I ain't gonna complain about someone being faster on the gun than myself :)
 
If something is downright offensive, deleting instead of flagging is actually counter-productive, even for moderators.
 
@NapoleonWilson I found a question that works for that tag.
 
10:17 PM
@NapoleonWilson How so? I know spam flags have some sort of fancy side effects, but regular flags too?
 
@Catija I saw.
 
Offensive flags do.
 
@DVK-in-Florida No, but offensive flags are in the same category as spam.
 
@NapoleonWilson Damn i wish i knew. I always just deleted offensive crap on SFF without flagging first.
 
They behave pretty much the same for all intents and purposes.

Seriously? Someone just flagged the complaint about the answer above! (I flagged as invalid flag, fyi, knowing the context)
 
yeah someone did.
 
The comment does look disturbing when taken out of context though - perhaps it might be worth editing to hide the profanity?

Q: Why is there a box in Charles' pants?

BrettFromLA15 minutes into the Brooklyn Nine-Nine episode "Cheddar" (s3, e18), Charles is lying on a coffee table, which then collapses. It's obvious he has a rectangular box or book in the seat of his sweatpants. No one mentions it. Was there a deleted scene that explained the rectangle in his sweatpants? ...

 
@MovieReel Because he craps cardboard?
 
@DVK-in-Florida I assume there's no news about your T-shirt yet?
 
@NapoleonWilson Nope, sorry

Cookie points for identifying the quote without googling
 
I give up. It's not anything Star Wars.
 
@NapoleonWilson Hint: the rest of the quote is "But every few hundred millennia, evolution leaps forward"
 
11:18 PM
Hmm, it sounds familiar.
 
11:32 PM
wow, I never would've remembered that without googling it
