Q: I need to find out about this movie

About a guy who travels back in time and meets a girl who's being bullied. The setting is on the same school and then there's this chair of the girl that has kanji/hiragana engraved on it.

Q: Need an explanation for the ending of mission impossible 5

During the ending after reinstating IMF William Brandt(Jeremy Renner's character) says to Hunley "Welcome to the IMF....Mr. Secretary." and both smile and credits roll. My question is :What does it signify? Was Hunley made the new secretary of the IMF or was he the secretary beforehand and was i...

A J

I just watched Now You See Me 2. Ok movie

@AnkitSharma gn

Napoleon Wilson

Yeah, indeed. Maybe not as good as the first one, but they're both nice to watch.

A J

Fun to watch as the movie goes.

Daniel was in that movie. Didn't know that.

Napoleon Wilson

Yeah, and I think he did a good job and was fun to watch, I didn't have to think about Harry too much.

A J

7:38 PM

For me, it felt quite different watching him in totally different role, given that I only watched him in HP.

Napoleon Wilson

Indeed.

I had also seen that Lady in Black (?) film, but that wasn't really too memorable.

A J

Didn't think the same while watching Gary Oldman in TDK or Michael Caine in James Bond.

@NapoleonWilson Didn't watch it so can't say.

Napoleon Wilson

Well, those are guys who played like a million other films anyway, while Daniel Radcliffe is still primarily known for Harry Potter.

A J

Yeah, he is.

Napoleon Wilson

But I think he's at least doing even more than Ron. Hermione has also ventured into other things quite well and has left her HP stuff probably best of all the three.

And Draco didn't do much more than that total Draco Malfoy role in Planet of the Apes either, I think.

A J

7:45 PM

Which one? Rise or Dawn?

Napoleon Wilson

Uh...the older one. ;-)

A J

Ah Dawn. It's still pending in my list. I watched Rise one. That lead actor was in all Spiderman movies, wasn't he?

Napoleon Wilson

Yes, he was Harry Osborne.

A J

Yes

Isn't third one releasing this year?

Napoleon Wilson

Yes, I think so. I'll probably watch it.

A J

7:50 PM

Need to finish Dawn first before watching third one.

Napoleon Wilson

Well, if you already watched the 2nd one anyway, it shouldn't matter that much.

A J

Anyway, those young actors in HP hasn't been involved in any big movie.

Napoleon Wilson

Since the 3rd probably continues after the 2nd. The 1st one only established the 2nd, but you've already seen that.

Besides that, the connections between the 1st and 2nd weren't really close either. Apart from the apes no other characters stayed.

A J

And that actor?

Napoleon Wilson

@AJ Emma Watson has done quite a bit, though.

@AJ Which?

A J

7:54 PM

Harry Osborne

I don't know the real name.

Napoleon Wilson

No, he doesn't reappear either. There's a few years between the stories.

James Franco.

Q: La La land - scene explanation

In the movie La La Land, in the scene (somewhere in the middle of the film) where both Ryan and Emma are shown flying through the stars and galaxies. What exactly is director Damien Chazelle trying to express? I have a tad idea about it but would like to know more from you guys.

plot-explanation la-la-land

A J

Anyway, I won't ask anything more about it.

Napoleon Wilson

Oh why?

A J

I still have to watch it.

Ankit Sharma

7:56 PM

@AJ he was bleh

Napoleon Wilson

Okay.

A J

@AnkitSharma You're still up.

Ankit Sharma

@NapoleonWilson and is in flash now

@AJ yeah

Napoleon Wilson

@AnkitSharma Oh right, I heard that.

A J

That Rise one was like every other day on TV. One day it caught my interest so watched it till end.

Ankit Sharma

7:59 PM

@NapoleonWilson but a filler character with similar stuff

@AJ I am waiting for it

Napoleon Wilson

I liked it quite a bit. Maybe even better than the first one.

Ankit Sharma

I am fully invested in apes reboot franchise bettter the Tim burtons

Let's see how it ends

Napoleon Wilson

Is it already known that it will be the last part of a trilogy?

Ankit Sharma

No idea

A J

Possibly no

> During an interview with MTV News in mid-November 2014, Andy Serkis talked about possible sequels: "It might be three films, It could be four. It could be five. Who knows? The journey will continue."[17] In October 2016, it was announced that a fourth Planet of the Apes film is already being planned

I think it's not related though. I already removed that part.

Ok. It's already late. Gotta sleep. Gud night.

Napoleon Wilson

8:07 PM

@AJ I think it's pretty much related. You still seem to make the implicit assumption that he knew something in that restaurant scene. If anything, it's certainly about the same scene and it can't hurt to link it.

(It was also meant to be seen by everyone, including the asker who wondered about this aspect, too.)

A J

Ok

Ankit Sharma

@AJ good night

A J

I removed that assumption

Napoleon Wilson

> When he mentioned that there was something else he wanted to ask, he paused for a while here. He might have realized that he could end the war himself since the 4 enemies would be in the cinema at once.

A J

I'll check and try to add more later.

Napoleon Wilson

8:11 PM

I never meant that the question covers the exact same topic as your answer, but it's related nevertheless.

Ankit Sharma

@MovieReel it could have been worded better

But for now feeling too sleepy and not in mood to get laptop to do so

A J

@NapoleonWilson Alright, but I think there is room for detailed analysis. But feeling sleepy right now.

Napoleon Wilson

Sure, I never said there wasn't. o_O

I remember watching a movie not too old probably within the last 17 years prob from the year 2000 onwards. where in the end of the movie the cops have a building surrounded and there is a fire or explosion so the firefighters show up and the bad guy or the antagonist gets away by disguising himse...

Paulie_D

@MovieReel Flagged as dupe of existing closed question from same OP

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson So, if there was a video put together for "Everything great about The Dark Knight Rises, I could say...The Steelers and Tom Hardy? ;)

@Paulie_D Ugh. That's annoying when that happens!

@Paulie_D Are you a fan of Only Lovers left alive?

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel Yeah, I guess, hehe.

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson Seriously? The bounty you put on it was to give the question more attention. So, you're telling me that you would be a tight wad and not award the double whammy...I see how it is around here ;)

Napoleon Wilson

9:26 PM

@steelersquirrel Well, I actually can't. I would have to award at least double the amount for the next bounty on the same question.

I had to face this dilemma before and that seemed like a reasonable solution.

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson Do you like that movie?

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel Yeah, it's quite interesting.

A crossing to pass.
A decision to forget.
A self to return.

steelersquirrel

I really liked it...after you get used to Bale's appearance. I was going to go and answer more questions on it, but my mind was mush from the other one ;)

Napoleon Wilson

Oh, did you actually just watch it?

steelersquirrel

No. Not recently. I just looked at the other questions because I answered the one with a bounty.

Napoleon Wilson

9:32 PM

I see.

steelersquirrel

There's so many different symbols and stuff in that movie to explain them all...

Napoleon Wilson

I also just wrote an answer for a movie I had seen quite some time ago. But I had the question favourited for a long time and always wanted to answer it at the right time.

steelersquirrel

And then you have the conspiracy theory of how people think that he died in the hit and run and that he's in purgatory trying to find the road to redemption.

Napoleon Wilson

Oh, heh!

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson I know! Welcome to the Steeler/Ankit club of getting an obligatory down vote ;)

Napoleon Wilson

Actually, I haven't received one in a while...

Q: Was there any notable pushback against "dark" (lack of lighting) cinematography?

One of the most common "normal people" gripes I usually hear about TV shows and films is that directors love to shoot "dark" scenes (literally dark - there is not enough lighting to be able to see almost anything), which is absolutely detrimental in enjoying an action scene. Has there ever been ...

film-techniques

steelersquirrel

@MovieReel Do you know what I never understood? How come in every movie or TV show when cops are walking through a crime scene in a house, why do they keep the lights off and just use flashlights? Why can't theyjust turn the lights on?

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel Because CSI looks cool operating "in the shadows". ;-)

Other than that, crime scene contamination?

steelersquirrel

How does turning on a light contaminate a crime scene?

Napoleon Wilson

I don't know, just improvising. ;-)

But wonder no longer!

Q: Why CSI members always use flashlight to examine a crime scene?

I usually watch CSI a lot with my wife so we have this question: When they start to seek for evidences they always use flashlights, even when they are in a room that has no energy suppression. I understand that in a place with not so many light sources like a camp a big light could introduce ma...

csi-las-vegas

steelersquirrel

10:11 PM

Shouldn't that question have that "lighting" tag as well?

Napoleon Wilson

I don't think so. It's worded more as a plot-explanation question about the workings of the CSI, rather than a film-making question about lighting.

I.e. it's about diegetic lighting rather than non-diegetic lighting, even if the the former might result from of the requirements of the latter.

steelersquirrel

Hmmmm...okay. I wish that the question was more of a lighting/cinematography question rather than just focusing on CSI. It happens all of the time in crime shows and movies. Bummer.

@NapoleonWilson Stop using such big words ;)

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel It's rather short word actually. ;-P

Urgh, I'm full, delightedly though.

steelersquirrel

I'm glad for you. I'm starving to death.

Napoleon Wilson

Awww, I doubt that's unintentional, though. ;-(

steelersquirrel

10:18 PM

Well, I will be eating oysters later...I'm saving myself for them ;)

Napoleon Wilson

Oh, right. Woot! \o/

Deliciousplosion! Tastageddon!

steelersquirrel

What did you eat that was so delicious?

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel I was talking about you and your oysters actually. ;-)

But mine wasn't too bad either, even if less special.

I had rice, fried a little in butter with olives and white wine.

steelersquirrel

Awww. Why are my oysters so special?

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel Well, they're not too common here. They're more of a "rich people food". Apart from our vacation I only had them twice in my life.

Oh, "yours"? Now I got it. You're up to something else with that comment? ;-)

steelersquirrel

10:25 PM

@NapoleonWilson Really? OMG! I guess that they're just common over here. I have to say that the ones in the oyster bar that we had were super good, but I was also really buzzed from the alcohol in the shooters, so I don't remember too much about all of them ;)

Napoleon Wilson

Woot! Olympus Has Fallen is just starting! Right after 2012. And Groundhog Day after that. I haven't seen that for ages!

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson Hehehe! Actually, no. Surprisingly, I wasn't making any kind of food euphemism ;)

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel Hehe! It still amazes me that you were so "buzzed" from two shots. (And even more so that you drove us home safely in that alleged state.) ;-)

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson See! I know what I'm doing. I'm sure that I didn't want to let on how much I was effected by those shots so that you wouldn't be stressed out about me driving us home safely ;)

Napoleon Wilson

Yeah, I guess. ;-)

steelersquirrel

10:31 PM

Too bad that I can't remember if I took advantage of ~~you~~ the oysters when we got back or not...I was really, really tired mixed with alcohol...not a good combo ;)

Napoleon Wilson

Hehe. Well, I won't tell, muahahaha!

steelersquirrel

Hehehe!

@Hachibot The explanation is that the writers got all their knowledge of the culture from a weekend at a Middle Eastern cultural fair. I read it in an article about Moana, will link if I can find again. — CreationEdge 2 hours ago

@CreationEdge That would be super cool if you could find that!!

I'm a little confused, because OP is stating that there is an explanation in The Making of Aladdin, but doesn't seem to be referencing that they watched it or anything in the question. If it's explained in that, they can just as well self answer.

Okay. Time to leave. Have a good weekend :)

@steelersquirrel You too. Have some fun at the beach. And remember not to lose da funk!

Besides that, ya totally got da funk!
