Constantine is 50:50 case

Since I'm completely being ignored today, gud night. :(
lol, poor @AJ
Gheez, what's going on here?
@NapoleonWilson Are you going to count Constantine if this ToW succeed ?
18:02
@AJ Oh, God! I'm sorry. Were you being ignored? I admittedly miss messages when there are several people talking at once. I apologize :'(
@NapoleonWilson You ignoring AJ. The usual ;)
@AnkitSharma I don't know.
@steelersquirrel I just answered to a message of his (which I didn't even fully understand).
@steelersquirrel I smell conspiracy
We need a Mike Myers ToW too someday
Urgh, really? ;-)
@NapoleonWilson He was just telling you guys that comments were getting out of hand on a question. But, in his defense, when he pings you about questions, you rarely respond to him. I'm just telling you as a 3rd party observer.
@AnkitSharma The serial killer or the actor? ;)
@steelersquirrel Well, I just took a look at the question he mentioned and cleaned it up.
18:09
@steelersquirrel Actor, not a fan of Halloween film series
Dr. Evil questions!! Woot!
But also, sometimes I simply don't know the answer to questions. Maybe it's my fault for not responding and saying so sometimes, though.
@steelersquirrel That's Michael.
@NapoleonWilson Yeah. You do that to me sometimes. If you don't know, just tell us so, so we don't think that you're ignoring us.
@NapoleonWilson Pfft! Michael/Mike. Same difference ;)
@steelersquirrel And sometimes I just overlook things, too. I'm sorry if it looks like I'm ignoring people. :'(
Show Pieces is a British short film series written by Alan Moore and directed by Mitch Jenkins. The series follows a man, Jimmy, who finds himself in a gentlemen's club after his death. Five instalments have been released: Act of Faith, Jimmy's End, Upon Reflection, A Professional Relationship, and His Heavy Heart. The last part was financed via Kickstarter. In July 2014, Moore completed the screenplay for a feature film titled The Show, which will continue the story of Show Pieces. == References == == External links == Jimmy's End at the Internet Movie Database...
18:12
@NapoleonWilson Awwww. Don't worry :)
Alan Moore too
And other times I genuinely don't know how to respond to messages, especially when I don't grasp them fully. But I also don't feel like asking what they meant when it just looks like a joke I didn't get.
This is a bibliography of works by British author and comic book writer Alan Moore. == Comics == === Early work === Short stories and strips published in various British magazines and newspapers include: Embryo #5: "Once There Were Daemons" (script and art, Northampton Arts Lab, 1971) Anon #1–5: "Anon E.

^ This page say Constantine counts
I guess so then.
It wasn't listed here, though.
@NapoleonWilson It is :
18:16
@NapoleonWilson Well, aren't you a moderator? We all look to you and Ankit for guidance and advice. I'm sorry if you don't feel like asking the meaning of something when someone asks about it, but we all look to you guys when we have questions and simply ignoring questions because you don't understand what someone means won't make them go away.
> This request was respected by the producers of the subsequent adaptations of his work Constantine (2005) (based on a character created by Moore) and Watchmen (2009), which apart from an adjustment to a finale mechanism stayed remarkably faithful to the graphic novel and had become greatly enabled by the advance in CGI, and his name was removed from the V for Vendetta credits
@steelersquirrel I'm not talking about official advice questions rather than what looks like jokes I don't get sometimes.
Gheez, I'm sorry okay. I don try to ignore people.
@AJ look what you did ^^^^ :p
@NapoleonWilson I'm sorry. Oh, God! I know that you don't try to. I don't mean it to sound bad. I just know that's happened to me a few times. I'm sorry :'(
Don't worry.
18:21
@AnkitSharma Hehehe! Hornet's nest officially kicked :P

Ufff looks like I can't complete Dark Knight today

Q: There's a black couple but the wife wants to have a foursome with her Asian friend and her boyfriend

user46014After the foursome the husband becomes jealous and his wife can't stop thinking about it

@AnkitSharma Your day is looking better and better ;)
@MovieReel If anybody dare to post reopen vote here, I will personally haunt you
@MovieReel Hahaha! Too bad Mike doesn't come around here anymore ;)
18:24
@steelersquirrel My day was not so good
Awwwww. I'm sorry :(
@MovieReel @KutuluMike treat for you
@steelersquirrel In then end it was all fine first half was hectic
@steelersquirrel I don't even keep track of what it was this time. That flag I was supposed to have issued on him in the other room?
Hehehe! Did you just use the superping thing? <gasp>
maybe maybe not ;)
18:26
@steelersquirrel Seeing how that isn't really supposed to be misused for jokes, I doubt it.
Anyway I think mike don't come to SFF either, he is recovering now
Yeah, possibly.
@NapoleonWilson I don't know why Mike doesn't come around here anymore. I'm sure that Himarm and Ankit know the real reason why. He was flagged in here a while ago and got pissed. I thought that it was about that, but I don't know.
Oh, I don't remember that. Well, whatever. Unfortunate any way.
@NapoleonWilson Really? Is that superping some big deal to use? Do you need security clearance and dual retina scans to use it or something? ;)
18:29
@steelersquirrel Hehe!
@steelersquirrel no just two drop of blood, Lucifer's deal and a beer pint
@NapoleonWilson Or...he just doesn't like us and our shenanigans in here. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. At any rate, he is dealing with health issues right now, anyways.
I'm so excited! Two My Cousin Vinny questions hitting HNQ in less than a week! Yay!!
what is that
18:35
Hehe!
My Cousin Vinny?

Q: Why was Marisa Tomei nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role instead of Best Actress?

davidbakWhy was Marisa Tomei nominated for "Best Actress in a Supporting Role" rather than for "Best Actress" (Academy Awards, of course) in My Cousin Vinny? That is, given Lead actor/actress VS Supporting actor/actress, what were the studio's reasons? (Or maybe there was some Academy rule involved?)

^ SHould I ask this for Lion
How can Dev be supporting actor
You can keep it for the challenge, if you really want to know, though.
But maybe it's answered by that question already, too?
Don't tell me Rooney Mara is main lead soemhow
What's Dev? What's Lion? Who am I? Why am I here? ;)
18:38
@NapoleonWilson no, that film had main lead Joe Pesci
Lion is a 2016 drama film directed by Garth Davis (in his feature debut) and written by Luke Davies, based on the non-fiction book A Long Way Home by Saroo Brierley with Larry Buttrose. The film stars Dev Patel, Rooney Mara, David Wenham, Nicole Kidman, Abhishek Bharate, Divian Ladwa, Priyanka Bose, Deepti Naval, Tannishtha Chatterjee, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Sunny Pawar. The film, which had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 10, 2016, was released in a limited release on November 25, 2016, by The Weinstein Company before opening wide on January 6, 2017....
That film's main actor is nominated for supporting character
@AnkitSharma Well, yeah, I know it's a different film. I was talking about the general gist of the question already answering it. So we don't need to ask that for every possible actor in every movie.
It's like saying RDJr is supporting actor in Iron Man
It's apparently all up to the studio and how they choose to promote the role and then the Academy members and their votes.
@AnkitSharma @steelersquirrel excellent answer
@NapoleonWilson I will watch the film before asking it. Maybe Young Saroo have longer role then trailer
18:40
@DForck42 Awwww. Thanks, buddy :)
@steelersquirrel :-D
@steelersquirrel btw, did I tell you we booked a venue for the wedding?
How come I keep getting upvotes on my answer, but it's not showing up in my rep?
@DForck42 Weren't you guys having the wedding at a house?
> Whatever doesn't kill you, simply makes you stranger
@steelersquirrel yup, but we actually found one to have it at
@steelersquirrel Apparently you hit the rep cap for today.
18:43
@steelersquirrel Rep cap
@DForck42 Cool! What kind of house is it?
@NapoleonWilson Well...that sucks.
@steelersquirrel a big house?
@steelersquirrel Write worse answers then! ;-)

Q: "Whatever doesn't kill you, simply makes you stranger" - what does it mean?

Anirban Nag 'tintinmj'During The Dark Knight the Joker says: Whatever doesn't kill you, simply makes you stranger I believe the original phrase is "What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger." So what did the Joker mean by stranger?

Ufff someone asked it already
Can someone please explain to me how a question about whether an animal in a movie is real or a prop considered off topic for being "trivia" but, this question is not considered trivia:

Q: Did any actor ever win an Oscar for their work in a horror movie?

MikeKeepsOnShineI was wondering how it is possible that Jack Nicholson wasn't nominated for his acting in The Shining. Did any actor ever win an Oscar for their work in a horror movie?

@DForck42 Hehehe! Typical man answer :P
18:47
@steelersquirrel got an email I can send it to you? I don't wanna post the info publicly
@DForck42 sound nice
@DForck42 Sure, but I don't want to post my email publicly either ;)
@steelersquirrel k, email me: [email protected]
wOw girl from Dark knight is sister of Jake Gyllenhaal O.o
Of course she is.
18:51
@AnkitSharma yup, Maggie gyllenhaal
she's also the sister in Donnie darko
and the love interest in stranger than fiction
@DForck42 Yeah I must be under the rock
@DForck42 that sound weird
@DForck42 Oh, God. I totally would, but my actual name is on my email account. I have to know you better first. I'm really sorry. I just have to completely trust someone before I send my personal email out. It's nothing personal, it's just that I don't know you that well yet :)
@AnkitSharma why is Dwayne Johnson on top of you? ;-)

@DForck42 holy moly
@DForck42 HAHAHA!!! LOL!!!
18:53
@steelersquirrel fair
@steelersquirrel f*** it, no one's gonna go looking for it: airbnb.com/rooms/…
It took me months before I would let Napoleon email me :)
@steelersquirrel yeah, but I'm nicer than him ;-)
@DForck42 Hehehe!
@DForck42 looks sexy
@AnkitSharma :-D yeah I'm excited

Q: "North By Northwest"-- Some Plot Points

ChaimI know that people often dismiss plot questions in Hitchcock films, saying that Hitchcock didn't care about the plot and neither should we. Still, when I see a celebrated film and don't understand the plot, I do always wonder whether I've simply missed the point. Can you answer these questions ab...

@DForck42 OMG! That's beautiful! That's a great place for a wedding! Are you guys having it outside or inside?
@steelersquirrel depends on how the weather rolls
I love how Ankit describes everything as sexy ;)
I though calling a place sexy is common thing
@steelersquirrel there are several options for both, so we'll figure that out when we get into it
@AnkitSharma probably a regional thing. not so common here in midwest
18:59
On the sidenote my house will take more time now, maybe in march :(
@MovieReel Nice to have a question about that great film, but... O_O
@MovieReel yup, too broad
needs to be broken up
@AnkitSharma :(
@MovieReel Closed for now
@AnkitSharma I don't know. I guess that it depends. The natural hot spring/sauna place from Against All Odds is sexy as hell! That's a physical place!
He edited, can someone check if it's fine now

Q: Were there early signs Pat liked Kat?

DForck42In the movie 10 things I Hate About You, it becomes very obvious after the party scene where Kat gets drunk that Pat is at least somewhat into her, taking care of her physically and not taking advantage of her in her drunken state. Were there any signs previous to this scene that Pat actually li...

@AnkitSharma A lot better, but he's still asking numerous questions at once.
OMG!!! @DForck42 is participating in the challenge!!! YAY!
Ankit needs to get on it!! ;)
19:17
Now all top 3 of his film is on table
@AnkitSharma edited, vtro
@steelersquirrel :-D
we just happened to coincidentally watch that movie last night
Yeah, reopened. Much better now. The new last paragraph was still quite jumbled, but that has been fixed, too.
32 mins ago, by Ankit Sharma
Ufff someone asked it already
Woot! I love that movie...for a teen rom-com ;)
I love their dad. Hehehe!
19:19
Yeah, me too. Haven't seen it for quite some time.
might watch it for ToW if got time
And it's Shakespeare even.
Loosely...
Amusingly, there are more than 10 things in the poem. — Catija Oct 12 '16 at 13:05
I do like that they throw in her friend being obsessed with Shakespeare.
19:21
I don't remember that much from it
It's a loose and modern version of The Taming of the shrew. Kat's bff in the movie is obsessed with Shakespeare.
Even going so far as saying that they're in a "relationship"...
Well, we know those Shakespeare fans can be a little freaky. ;-)
Hehehe! Agreed! ;)
Ugh. No time for my question again. :'(
I need to do A Knight's Tale. I just don't know what to do.
@steelersquirrel Yay! \o/
@steelersquirrel Awww.
I can point out all of the historical inaccuracies, but I would just get the whole "yeah...like playing Queen and David Bowie in the middle ages is historically accurate" comments :'(
19:33
@steelersquirrel Well, noone really watches that thing for historical accuracy.
See.
They still did cool historical things, like Chaucer and mocking Simon and Peter in fiction...like is actually done in Chaucer's writings of A Knight's Tale.
@steelersquirrel boom, new question
@DForck42 Yay! Even a historical question!!
@steelersquirrel :-D
19:38
And I have to leave right now!! Dammit!! Okay...nobody answer this until I get back :P
@steelersquirrel lol
I am not answering for sure, can't stop others
I know. I'm just being silly!
I will watch Dark Knight as long as I can and then going to sleep
19:40
True, though. He does sport quite some interesting questions about North By Northwest, once separated out of the bulk.
Okay. Gotta go! See you guys :)
@steelersquirrel Have fun!
bye
@NapoleonWilson agreed
I'd be more interested in the pseudo-Wrightian house they feature at the end, but Wikipedia already answered that sufficiently.

Q: Blowing up the bad guys on their turf in a selfless act

Q: Was William based on the real Ulrich von Liechtenstein?

DForck42In the movie A Knight's Tale, Heath Ledger's character William ends up going by the name Ulrich von Liechtenstein to hide that he's not a real knight. This alias is also the name of a real life person. Was William intended to be based off of the real person, loosely or otherwise, or was this a ...

Q: Kaplan's Mission in "North By Northwest"

ChaimThe film "North By Northwest" seems to have two theories of Kaplan's mission. On the one hand he's supposed to be the agent following Vandamm. This is why it's important to the Professor that Vandamm never discovers Kaplan's fictiveness: he would then realize that Eve is really the agent. On th...

19:48
I always though Jake Gyllenhaal can be a good future Joker
But they picked Jared Leto
@AnkitSharma I...don't know.
I wish they give him more window next time
Have you seen the Ultimate Whatever Cut yet?
Suicide Squad ?
No
I heard it's not much longer, few minutes only
@NapoleonWilson do we know if there's a significant change?
ie, better editing?
19:54
I will check it but not on high priority, I didn't had much issue with theatrical cut either
@DForck42 I don't know. I haven't seen it.
@DForck42 I thnk few extra JOker scene only
I just heard there was millions of scenes with the Joker that didn't make it into the film, for better or worse.
@AnkitSharma Me neither, it was a nice film.
For me BvS had issues with got fixed in extended cut a bit, suicide squad was fine, extended cut can change nothing for me
I want to see Jake Gyllenhaal in DC stuff
He can be a good Riddler or maybe a Penguin
@NapoleonWilson I had fun watching it, but it definitely has a lot of issues
20:01
@AnkitSharma Can we at least keep some actors out of comics?
We are having 6+ comics film every year, so there is no window to keep good actors away
more flag spam coming y'alls way
@NapoleonWilson but why?
Oh gheez. If you end up flagging all 20+ comments. Feel free to flag the question.
He want Marshal :D
@NapoleonWilson there were a handful that I skipped
cause they actually seem to add content to the question, rather than just trying to narrow it down/chastise the op
20:11
I'll have to look through the entire thing anyway.
Okay, I've sorted it out a little.
@NapoleonWilson I'm just flagging questions/answers en masse with mod flags for ya
Sure, it's appreciated. I'm all for comment cleanup.
also looks like comment cleanup doesn't bump questions, which is nice
'nneed.
Why should it anyway, you're not adding anything, only removing (not that adding comments would bump posts anyway).
@NapoleonWilson true
20:20
Only reached half way to the film, need to sleep now
people just get uppity about the front page, which makes no sense to me
I never look at it, only new questions or search
I think nobody brags about frontpage here
I only ever use the frontpage, as does every other user who's not an "SE power user".
@AnkitSharma We do, just less.
hmmm
Good night
@NapoleonWilson aka lazy users ;-)
20:33
No.
@NapoleonWilson have the updated the tool to allow you to select which comments to send to chat?
@DForck42 Probably not.
But I'm not the biggest fan of moving comments to chat. If they're worthless, they can as well be dumped into the trash. And if they're useful, then I could as well just leave 'em on the post. I have, however, moved a few discussions to chat when they were too large but still somewhat related to the post.
@NapoleonWilson did you just mass exodus those comments then?
@DForck42 The ones I moved to chat I did cleanup beforehand, to remove the comments that were completely worthless.
@NapoleonWilson sounds like a good compromise

Q: Cheap horror movie

hotdogI believe it was late 90's or 00' b-movie shot on amateur camera... The protagonist always had a camera (probably he was a reporter?) with him shooting a kind of cannibal bums. I can also recall him smoking three packs of Lucky Strike cigarettes a day. Watched it like 5-7 years ago and can't reme...

First car is stopped with engine problem they dont get in another cars because there were no place to sit so they wait but they were killed soon. Group with good condition car arrived to the house and forgot...

22:05
@NapoleonWilson this is a dumb edit and makes the question hard to understand... movies.stackexchange.com/revisions/67448/2
Meh, he has a point that it's somehwat of a spoiler for those example films.
The general question is still largely discernable. But you're right in that it could be clearer.
It's certainly not omptimal yet.
@NapoleonWilson I've attempted to make it clearer
@DForck42 Yeah, better, thank you.

Q: Is "Ripley's Believe It or Not" mostly false?

iMerchantThe title seems to give it an out by not having to admit all it's stories are true. The skeptic in me thinks that some of the stories are knowingly false. Is there any info out there that says either way?

@MovieReel that's a weird question
22:17
I...don't immediately grasp it really.
23:11
Wow, I really like Steven Gätjen, too bad he doesn't do the red carpet interviews for the Oscars anymore. I think he might be selling himself below his worth on ZDF.
But well, this year I won't watch the Oscars in Germany anyway, and I'll have to bear all the dress-talk of the original abc interviewers.

Q: Is the misquotation “politics is war by other means” by Lyndon B. Johnson authentic?

It's really hard to understand what it's getting at
