Q: Identifying the albino pirate in Pan (2015)

I'm attempting to identify the androgynous albino pirate seen in Pan (2015). The character in question can be seen behind Peter during the "Teen Spirit" scene, and then again later entering Blackbeard's cabin while he's speaking with his second-in-command, Bishop. I know this person from somew...

Q: Why didn't Vito kill those two guys (Sopranos)

In this scene Vito bumps into the two guys from New York, I had always wondered why he just did not follow them and kill them so no-one would know he was there. even if one of the guys was a made guy, would it not be worth risk of it never coming out who kille...

Q: What do the spear and watermelon jokes in "Airplane!" mean?

In the awesome 1980 comedy Airplane!, there are two jokes that make no sense and I've never been able to find an adequate explanation for them. Is anyone able to shed some light? Near the end of the film, Rex Kramer (Robert Stack) arrives at the control tower to help Ted Striker (Robert Hays) la...

Awwwww. The whole "surely" line was removed...it fit so well to the question :'(

4:08 AM

Title looks better now.

steelersquirrel

Yeah, I guess. You would have to be familiar with the movie to get the "surely" thing. I thought that it was clever...but, well.

oh

steelersquirrel

4:31 AM

It's not a big deal...like I said, only people familiar with the movie would get it ;)

I always thought that the spear represented "a long time ago" like a hunting spear that would be used a long time ago...as for the watermelon, I always interpreted that as just dropping something heavy "right down to the ground" I believe that McCroskey slams his hand on the desk as well when he's saying it. Great question, btw! Love the fact that you added "surely" in your question! Haha! — steelersquirrel 15 hours ago

@AnkitSharma Insomnia. I'm going to bed soon :)

okay :D

steelersquirrel

I'm babysitting my dad tomorrow. I have him talked into seeing Blood Wars with me ;)

I went last week with a coworker, but I was so tired that I fell asleep like 10 minutes into it :(

@steelersquirrel I never did that, even in the disaster films

Q: Have movies successfully defied pre-screening tests?

In many cases movies have been altered after pre-screening tests. A notorious example is Little Shop of Horrors (1986). In the original ending, Audrey and Seymour are devoured and the plant takes over the world. Supposedly, pre-screening audiences did not like this ending so the studio redid it....

@MovieReel uhuuunnnn

steelersquirrel

@MovieReel This could be an interesting question if OP didn't hold such animosity towards Valley Girls and Santa Monicans.

5:56 AM

I still don't like it

steelersquirrel

I guess that it would be considered trivia or something?

May 23 '16 at 16:13, by Ankit Sharma

@MovieReel How can we answer that

steelersquirrel

There are movies that are notorious for changing endings due to feedback from test audiences...

I only know of Fatal Attraction and Little shop of horrors like OP mentioned.

Oh...he's asking the opposite. Oh. My mistake. I misread the question.

Jul 18 '16 at 11:42, by Napoleon Wilson

@MovieReel Because Roland Emmerich, duh!

6:34 AM

@MovieReel Like, totally.

steelersquirrel

@AnkitSharma Because it may turn into a "list" answer?

Which reminds me this

Jun 29 '16 at 14:13, by Ankit Sharma

So what you expected in answer? If you want list doesn't that make it too broad? — Ankit Sharma ♦ 13 secs ago

After that, I avoided asking list questions.

6:50 AM

@AJ because it lands more into SFF land but now it's too old to discuss again

Anyway, it was answered so case closed.

@AJ hmmm

It seems like Walt will be the winner of Quarterly Bounty Reward. great

@AnkitSharma Can I undelete this one and make it a CW post?

@AJ I will not recommend that

Why?

7:02 AM

It's a plain list question.

There will be multiple answer with none of them being a complete answer

ok

> That's not really how ZAZ work

What is ZAZ?

steelersquirrel

I was wondering the same thing.

Isabelle Geffroy (born 1 May 1980 in Tours, France), better known by the nickname Zaz, is a French singer-songwriter who mixes jazzy styles, French variety, soul and acoustic. She is famous for her hit "Je veux", from her first album, Zaz, released on 10 May 2010. == Early life == Her mother was a Spanish teacher, and her father worked for an electric company. In 1985, she entered the Conservatoire de Tours with her sister and her brother, attending courses from the ages of five to eleven. She studied music theory, specifically the violin, piano, guitar, and choral singing. In 1994, she moved to...

She looks good

steelersquirrel

WTF does that have to do with what Walt said earlier? ;)

zaz*: verb. to listen to your headphones with the volume up so loud that people around you can hear your music

- urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=zaz

zaz*: Zaz is slang for anything cool. It is most commonly used for something awesome and/or cute.

**ZaZ**: German slang word used in a racist remark meaning "shit covered monkeyboy"
sheesh i thought i could smell shit and banana's its ZaZ.

steelersquirrel

7:08 AM

Oh! Oh! Oh! It's Zucker Abrams and Zucker. They are the filmmakers in Airplane! and movies like it...that kind of comedy.

@steelersquirrel lol, so I failed again :D

Walt uses strange references.

steelersquirrel

That just occurred to me now...lightbulb over head moment!

Walt's joke always go over my head

steelersquirrel

@AnkitSharma Hehehe! No way! I loved your guesses! ;)

7:10 AM

there were 18+ ZaZ meaning too which I avoided listing here :D

steelersquirrel

Hehehe!

Now I am using this word at-least once somewhere or somehow.

Sound quite cool

steelersquirrel

@sanpaco Will you be putting together an answer, then? :)

@steelersquirrel no, I was just getting in touch with my inner valley girl ;)

@AnkitSharma The next time someone annoys you, just say "ZAZ you" ;)

A: Do I need knowledge of American culture and history to enjoy Forrest Gump?

You can certainly enjoy the movie without that knowledge, but you probably couldn't fully appreciate it as it was originally meant to be appreciated.

steelersquirrel

@sanpaco Hahaha! Gotcha ;)

Who upvoted it? ^^

steelersquirrel

Not me!

I have already flagged it.

steelersquirrel

I admittedly upvoted the pre-screening test one, but I would never upvote a crap answer like that one.

It continuously baffles me that people post an answer that already has a million answers and their answer adds absolutely nothing new or original...I don't get that at all.

7:16 AM

They might be rep-obssessed .

Answering a question in HNQ would certainly give them upvotes and thus reputation.

Q: Old black-and-white political comedy about a young idealist running for Mayor

I saw at least the first half of this movie (but not all of it) somewhere around 1994 or 1995, on television. But it was all in black-and-white, so I feel reasonably confident that it was made no later than the 1950s. (Possibly earlier.) I would call it a political comedy. English language; set s...

@AJ Because The Sopranos is not science fiction and he did it before too for Breaking Bad and Gladiator

@AnkitSharma already +1

@AnkitSharma I just know him because once I checked SFF newest questions and he was there like 12-15 times.

9:13 AM

@AnkitSharma Hi

Saw Live by Night last night.

Should have been called Sleep by Night har har har

9:25 AM

@DrRDizzle Seems that's what you did during the movie. ;P

@AJ It's the first movie in a long time that I've genuinely regretted going to see. It's not that it's an awful movie (it's not a good one either), it's just that I'm a big fan of Affleck as a director and this ended up being really disappointing in comparison to his previous movies.

ohh

@AnkitSharma Hello. Long time no see.

@AJ k

@DrRDizzle lol

@John You seems less active this days :p

@DrRDizzle ohhh

@AnkitSharma I have been active on Movie Meta. I stopped doing tag edits.

9:43 AM

okay

ufff boring all work day

That sounds like me. But it's bedtime for me. Goodnight to all.

Officetime for me too much pending work and no mood to do it

@John Good night

10:02 AM

Yo @Walt

@steelersquirrel Oh, sorry. I thought it was a common abbreviation (it's even on Wikipedia)... apparently not. :S But I like your guesses too. And don't ask why they don't go by Abrahams and the Zuckers. These guys are weird. ;) [So weird, in fact, that one of them also somehow directed Ghost and First Knight.]

@AJ Yo :)

What's up?

boring office work

Just like Ankit's

@AJ I hear ya :(

I asked you to ID an animation movie.

I checked it and it was Balto. Thanks :)

@NapoleonWilson You probably wouldn't want to know what Hill's been up to recently... :/

@AJ Cool. Did you like it?

10:06 AM

Yeah

Though I watched it in childhood.

@AJ Yeah, I don't remember much :/

...Of my childhood in general, actually :O

Well, I'm 25. I still remember my childhood. I don't know if I'd still do when old.

@steelersquirrel They probably meant rifles? (Not an expert in anime, though)

@AJ Just what are you suggesting, you whippersnapper?! :P

I can still get jiggy with it!! ...Is that still a thing?

@Walt The Guardian - "Every single decision made by Hill is bad". Ouch.

huh?

10:14 AM

@DrRDizzle Well, the guy's 75. It's amazing he's still working at all

@Walt Have you seen the trailer for Gold?

@AJ Here's me

user image

hmm

@DrRDizzle Yeah. McConaughey with an oscar-bait combover or something?

@Walt My ID questions were about the movies I watched in childhood, except that one.

10:17 AM

@Walt Yeah, I've already written my headline for that review: The Wolf of WAUll Street.

Chemistry puns FTW

@DrRDizzle And they say my jokes are obscure? :(

For @steelersquirrel and other '80s lovers:

Nathan Dandy - Cat Vision

@Walt Yeah, my biggest concern is that no one will understand.

@AJ But I thought you did see Balto when you're a child... I'm confused.

@Walt ZAZ you

@AJ lol

10:19 AM

@AnkitSharma Good morrow to you too

@Walt No, no. That one. I can't give a link to that one now as I'm at work.

@Walt lol

@SQB You mean not for me :P

@DrRDizzle You can just pander to the masses and go with the requisite The Wolf Of Bald Street

@Walt I might combine the two and go for The Wolf of BAUld Street, just to really confuse everyone.

@DrRDizzle Then spend the rest of the review explaining the pun and ignoring the movie

I'd read that!

@AJ OK, gotcha. And ditto. :(

(Though the linking policy here is not as strict)

I'll just get back to what I do best: Trying not to get fired

ttfn :)

10:25 AM

"You see, AU is the chemical symbol for the element gold, which is the susbtance this film is centered around. Additionally, Matthew McConaughey's character in this film is bald, so I've replaced the "a" in "bald" with the chemical symbol for gold in order to link the two. Finally, the film looks a like like Martin Scorsese's The Wolf of Wall Street, so I have replaced the word "wall" with my combination of "bald" and the chemical symbol for gold to make a three-layers deep pun. 4 stars."

Hell, I could go one further and call it The Gold of BAUld Street, but at that point we're just being silly.

@Walt Just out of curiousity, what's your occupation?

Q: How can a witch/wizard disguise themselves, excluding Polyjuice Potion?

At the end of Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, there is a reveal I don't think Polyjuice potion was used, mainly because of the accent and voice differences (which in the movies have always remained undisguised when using Polyjuice), though I could be wrong, and we may find out it was ...

Q: First attempt at movie rebus puzzle

As a first attempt at Rebus puzzle, here is an image containing rebus puzzles about movies. Have fun solving it. I'm also open for feedback. Though I'll respond them in morning.

@Randal'Thor I can chat in one room at a time.

@Randal'Thor I'd like some feedback.

@AJ Oh, nice. I hadn't seen that one before actually.

@AJ Very nice indeed. I like all of them except possibly "candyhere".

@Randal'Thor Thanks. What about candyhere? That was the tough one.

@AJ A problem with it, in my view (bearing in mind that I didn't try to solve it before looking through the solutions), is that the words in the film title are sort of in the wrong order to match the clue.

If the title was "Hereafter Sweet", the clue would be perfect.

Oh

herecandy could work too.

I suppose

1:29 PM

Sort of.

That's not perfect either, but it might be better than candyhere.

Hereafter Sweet was probably giveaway

It makes more sense to interpret The Sweet Hereafter as "the sweet, after 'here'" than "the sweet, with 'here' after it".

Also, there's some good general tips here:

Q: What are the tricks used in making a 'Rebus' puzzle?

@AnkitSharma I don't understand the regret...

@DForck42 I regret that I asked a question which is to obscure to understand

@AnkitSharma I don't think it's too obscure to understand, I just think the premise is a bit obscure

ie, there aren't a lot of examples of a movie in a movie in a movie

while there are a significant amount of examples for a movie in a movie

hmmm

Napoleon Wilson

Are you only after examples where we are presented with the 3rd layer film as happening right in the frame, as if it was the actual film? I assume a 2nd layer film that has a film playing on TV in the background wouldn't count either?

Q: How are dementors born and propagated? Plus, can they die?

My question is very short; I don't think it's handled in the books or movies, but yesterday, I was wonderring about dementors. How are they born? Do they propagate like humans/animals? Also, can they die, and if yes, how? Thanks!

@AnkitSharma It's pretty much like Scream 4. Starts at a funeral where a daughter's attacked by her dead mom and then burned alive in her coffin. This turns out to be a horror movie that a girl and her boyfriend are watching at a drive in theater. The girl goes to get some popcorn and is attacked by her boyfriend who's now a zombie or something. But this also turns out to be a music video that the actual movie's heroine is watching on TV.

But second layer's a music video, so never knew if it counts.

@Walt sound way better then all existing ones. Is there any video to check it out of timestemp?

3:32 PM

@AnkitSharma You mean online? I don't think it's on Youtube but it seems to be on this site. Enter at your own risk. Anyway, it's how the movie starts. The first 10 minutes or so, I think.

Well, this site naturally has some overlap with other SE sites and the general policy is, that it is upto everyone's own discretion where he asks an on-topic question. So much to that. Now it can therefore happen that someone asks a question that has been asked and/or answered in some way or ano...

Advertizing related questions is perfectly fine. But saying "go ask on that other site first" is a huge no-no.

That's why I thought of asking here before flagging.

It should be pointed to Pauline D too

@AnkitSharma I just did so.

Mine doesn't. I even tried to and I can't. Napoleon will just have to keep correcting me over it ;-(

Napoleon Wilson

But I'm sure you referred to "her" in the past.

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson What in the heck are you even talking about? He's engaged to girl. Gheez ;)

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel Because a fiancé is a boy, and a fiancée is a girl.

Who's the English person here? ;-P

steelersquirrel

Argh! Like I know...I was engaged for like 2 seconds. I never got to use the word :(

I'm glad that you're around to set us all straight, though ;)

Now that I think about it, Rand set me straight on this a while ago...when I was engaged to a mango and would use that word. Oops ;)

@steelersquirrel he used to correct me too in chat and AJ too but now both of them lost all hope in me

@NapoleonWilson I had no idea about it

@AnkitSharma I'm sure that he will continue to correct me ;)

I honestly don't care enough to correct it

as far as I can tell they pronounced the same, so...

Napoleon Wilson

@DForck42 You can't anyway.

@NapoleonWilson I meant my spelling of fiancée

Napoleon Wilson

Me too.

Gheez, I was just referring to the fact that it's too late to edit the message. Not that it would matter in the slightest bit, I was just joking around.

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson He means that he doesn't care enough to correct it in the future, silly! You misinterpreted it ;)

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel I see.

blah

steelersquirrel

GUESS WHAT?!?!?!

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel I haven't heard of that, what is it?

steelersquirrel
