Q: Spy movie\thriller with stakeout van and laser beam?

I'm looking for the title of a movie I've seen in the 80s or early 90s. But all I remember of it are the following sequences: There was some sort of laser beam or beacon at night. A man and a colleague are investigating something. They are at the man's house where there is also his wife and chi...

@DForck42 Well, it's not too bad anyway.

DForck42

@NapoleonWilson yeah, I vtc'd it more cause it's old and doesn't have an accepted answer

Napoleon Wilson

@DForck42 Which...on the other hand... isn't actually a proper close-reason.

DForck42

shrugs I think it doesn't answer enough of the who, what, when, where, why, and how and it's old with no accepted answer

so it'll either get vtc or left open

Napoleon Wilson

Sure.

DForck42

my votes aren't binding like a mod so I can be a bit more cavalier

Napoleon Wilson

20:10

Indeed.

DForck42

if I were a mod, no, I wouldn't close it

Q: Answering an ID Question, a PSA

An answer to an ID question can be very short, it can be the title of the movie and a link to imdb or wiki. These sorts of answers, though, are very low quality. They might serve to answer that particular question, but those that stumble upon the question in the future might be looking for a di...

Q: 70's-ish US english-language tv show about teens, and one night they see a dark spooky house that had a small light in the window

70's-ish US english-language tv show about teens, and one night they see a dark spooky house that had a small light in the window. So they go up and investigate, and I don't know what happens after that. For some reason I think it's some kind of teen detective show, but I could be wrong about t...

Why is my review queue say that it has like 22 things that need reviewed when it is completely cleared? That orange box is annoying me ;)

DForck42

@steelersquirrel cache lag

and other things

steelersquirrel

It's been doing it for like 3-4 days now.

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel It shows all things in the queue, including the ones you cannot or already have reviewed. This is a "feature" enabled once you turned 10k and is to show you how full/empty the queue is to judge how well the community does its duties.

Q: Review queue empty, but always showing a high number

For the last few days, my review queue warning number has been sat on 7 or more (fluctuating between 7 and 15) but when I click into the queue, there's often only one or no items to review. I'd normally ignore it (or blame caching) but it's been a few days now and it seems to be an ongoing iss...

@NapoleonWilson Oh, God. Can I disable it somehow? It's driving me crazy!

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel No.

I would like to have my 10k privileges revoked, then ;)

Napoleon Wilson

That takes some time if we don't want to trigger the serial downvoting script, though.

Paulie_D

Bounties?

steelersquirrel

Well, it's not like I am serious, silly.

That orange box is seriously going to make me nuts, though. (more than usual) ;)

Paulie_D

@NapoleonWilson You did know that I asked my Godfather question just for you, didn't you?

Q: Were oranges an intentional use of symbolism by filmmakers?

There is a lot of speculation surrounding the potential symbolism of oranges in The Godfather. The primary interpretation being that whenever an orange is shown, there is impending doom on either the person handling the orange or an orange being shown in the scene: Sal grabbing an orange at Con...

steelersquirrel

Was she on his "allowed to bang" list? ;-)

@steelerfan Well, it's the 2010s, you can't run around and bang girls left and right, there's gotta be a little more commitment nowadays, I guess. ;-)

Holy hell!!! That unsourced Spaceballs answer has 61 up votes!!! WTF.

steelersquirrel

23:25

@NapoleonWilson Oh, he totally does. You would know if you would watch it!

Q: Are the vampires rationing their blood?

In Only Lovers Left Alive, it's clear that blood is in limited supply. Adam and Eve both comment that they've got "the good stuff" and discuss a "contamination" that appears to have infected the human population. Ava seems desperate for blood when she visits, and Adam repeatedly tries to stop her...
