@DrRDizzle I think it's for his birthday

steelersquirrel

@Catija Awwwwww. OMG. You don't know how badly I needed to see this picture right now! He is just the most beautiful baby EVER!

@AnkitSharma Haha! We shall see. My Bill Paxton questions have +10 and +3. PaulieD is slaying this challenge! ;)

Riker

hey here comes the squirrel

@steelersquirrel :( are you feeling okay?

you've been really.. sad recently

steelersquirrel

@Riker Oh, don't worry. I just have a lot of things going on right now. I'm fine. I promise :)

It's so cool seeing you in blue now!

Riker

okay :)

@steelersquirrel :D

steelersquirrel

I can't believe that you have gone to the dark side and become a smurf! ;)

Riker

15:12

I can also mod-edit and pin messages

so next time you say something funny I shall pin it

steelersquirrel

You can pin stuff in here?

Riker

yes

steelersquirrel

@Riker Wait. You mod-edited my message! Did you change "weird" to "cool" or am I going mad? ;)

Riker

@steelersquirrel chat.stackexchange.com/messages/35923940/history

steelersquirrel

@Riker You will annoy Napoleon with that...just a forewarning :P

Riker

15:16

:p I can be ankit-on-west-coast

steelersquirrel

:P

A J

@Riker how :p

Riker

...... because I pin funny things and am on west coast?

ufff

gotta start practicing my 'uff's now

steelersquirrel

And constantly arguing with Dizzle... ;)

A J

Haha

Riker

15:18

@steelersquirrel ooh thanks for the heads up

A J

@steelersquirrel I put my rage out on him today.

steelersquirrel

Hehe! Poor Dizzle.

I was going to ask another Tombstone question for the ToW challenge. Maybe I will wait for the Kurt Russell challenge to ask it...

Riker

the other fun mod power: self starring, by pinning something then unpinning it :D

2

steelersquirrel

Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute...you can self star stuff?

Riker

yes, as either room owner or moderator

Dr R Dizzle

15:25

@Riker I knew no-one actually liked @AnkitSharma's messages.

2

Riker

hahahah

if you pin a message that you wrote, you're counted as starring it

steelersquirrel

Hehe!

Riker

and if you unpin it, you still star it, it's just not pinned

steelersquirrel

I am foreseeing Napoleon coming in here and warning you about being responsible with your mod powers and such in the not so distant future... ;)

2

Riker

oh I'm counting on it

but this is the screening room, where most minor mod abuse goes unnoticed

steelersquirrel

15:32

waits for Napoleon to explode

:P

Skooba

15:46

@Riker you know there is a sandobx

Riker

yes I do

Skooba

where you could go and test all that stuff and no one would care

so why do it here?

Riker

because there's no messages of steelers to star in the sandbox

steelersquirrel

Because he secretly likes to annoy Napoleon ;)

Riker

>_> shhhhh

Skooba

15:47

a flimsy excuse followed by and actively abusive one, seems on par for mods

Riker

ok are you calling steeler's messages not funny ;p

steelersquirrel

My messages are usually just gibberish ;)

Skooba

@Riker no I am saying your actions aren't.

Riker

they're not supposed to be funny

<shrug>

well I'm outta here for a while, see y'all

steelersquirrel

Bye :)

Skooba

15:50

@Riker you seem to a very cavalier attitude to abusing your moderation tools.....

steelersquirrel

runs

Riker

@Skooba I've had them for 1 day and I've already screwed something up, so it's not as much cavalier as false bravado to pretend I'm not scared of screwing up royally

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

but seriously I have to leave, bye

Skooba

@Riker making a mistake and actively trying to do things you know are not right are two totally different things. as a moderator you actions have much more weight and you should treat them that way.

Riker

I come forth from mobile

@Skooba yeah, I know, it was a joke.

steelersquirrel

Mmmmmm...kiwi! ;)

Ankit Sharma

16:05

Kiwi \o/

@Riker uff you got that trick

@DrRDizzle shut up and write your lame reviews

@Riker sound like a bizarre idea

steelersquirrel

Yeah. Riker is rolling up in here pinning stuff left and right ;)

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel yes, mods have same power in all chatroom except SO and main meta chat

@Riker I hope you don't over do any of that joke, else it might bring you trouble

@Riker Common I am way more sane then that :P

steelersquirrel

I was waiting for Napoleon to roll up in here and scold him :P

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel arguing with @DrRDizzle is easy, you just need to talk sense and it will go against what dizzle is saying

steelersquirrel

I can't argue with Dizzle. He is a fan of Shaun of the Dead and Aladdin ;)

MannlyMann

16:11

Hello friends

steelersquirrel

Hello my son!

MannlyMann

How's life

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel or worse, neighboring mod might come and bring shit storm

Dr R Dizzle

@steelersquirrel Hell yeah

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel Yeah he make sense 1 in 100 time

steelersquirrel

16:12

@AnkitSharma Yeah...that's what I really don't want :(

@MannlyMann Okay. How are you?

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel wow skooba already shouted on him, now we need his other step dad Nap to shout on him

@MannlyMann hello

steelersquirrel

@AnkitSharma Yes. I believe that he will be grounded :P

Skooba

@AnkitSharma poor dizzle. I like his reviews

2

steelersquirrel

I love Dizzle's reviews!

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel I demand punishment, I even have an idea

Murga punishment

Murga (also spelled murgha) is a stress position used as a corporal punishment in parts of South Asia (specifically Northern India, Pakistan and sometimes in Bangladesh). It is used primarily in educational institutions, and by the police as a summary, informal punishment for petty crimes committed by boys, such as eve teasing. The punishment is usually administered in public view, the purpose being to deter recurrence of the offence by shaming the offender and providing a salutary example to others. The word murga means rooster in Hindi and Urdu language. The punished person takes a position...

@Skooba Did you read his logan review and still think the same O.o

Skooba

16:16

@steelersquirrel he got his reprimand. if he does it again I bring out the belt.

2

steelersquirrel

Yes. Napoleon and Skooba will beat him later ;)

Ankit Sharma

steelersquirrel

Hehehehe!

Catija

@AnkitSharma OMG!!!! That's so cute! I didn't even think of that! Look at him growing up!

Ankit Sharma

Now I have to do dogstting till monday :'(

steelersquirrel

16:18

I never got spanked as a child. My dad would always give us a firm "nudge" on the back of the head ;)

Skooba

@Catija aw! he is so cute!

@steelersquirrel my mom used kitchen utensils...

Ankit Sharma

@Catija I even want to make a meta announcement about ben being our mascot but I am sure napolean will not allow it and will go gaga over it

Catija

@Skooba :D Thanks! He was being so cute this morning, too.

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel My mom slapped me few times but I gave her reason to do so,so that was fine

Skooba

@Catija mine is out of that stage... he goes to kindergarten this fall... wife is freaking out.

steelersquirrel

16:21

@Catija I know, right? You have the most beautiful baby! It's so cool to see how you are so proud of him! You really are a great mother. Make sure you give him kisses every day! You and Andy are extremely blessed :)

Dr R Dizzle

@Skooba Starred for truth

@steelersquirrel Starred for truth again

MannlyMann

@steelersquirrel I'm good

Ankit Sharma

Why the hell starboard is full of dizzle's praise, fanfamily is dead to me now.

Dr R Dizzle

Mwa hahah

steelersquirrel

@AnkitSharma Awwwww. Do it! Why would Napoleon freak about that?

Ankit Sharma

16:23

Now I need @KutuluMike @phantom42 and @Himarm to say some truth

@steelersquirrel because meta is serious business

steelersquirrel

@AnkitSharma Yeah, but SFF had that avatar thing and stuff that nobody freaked out about.

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel SFF even had meta post about ~~how SFF is superior~~ why and why not you go to movies.se post with potential mud slinging answers and it did worked well for them.

In short different site different ruels

steelersquirrel

@AnkitSharma Da...wut? Oh my.

Well, I say that Ben should be our official mascot of The Screening Room. There. It's official. We don't need some stupid ol' meta post declaring that!

Q: Do you spend significant time on movies.SE? Why or why not?

Obviously there is significant overlap between scifi.SE and movies.SE. Do you spend a significant amount of time on movies.SE? Why or why not? How is the other site different in culture? Content? Quality of questions? Quality of answer? If you spend time on both, how do you decide where ...

steelersquirrel

If Napoleon has a problem with that, he can come and talk to me about it ;)

Ankit Sharma

16:31

Pinned

steelersquirrel

Wow! Wad gave a great answer and even praised you, Napoleon, Catija and Walt...and then Napoleon gave a comment on his answer that didn't even thank him. Sigh ;-(

@AnkitSharma Woot!

Ankit Sharma

@steelersquirrel he made opinion that we only cover latest stuff only and napoleon cleared it

That meta post was the bad idea to start with

steelersquirrel

@AnkitSharma Yeah, I know. I was mostly joking around. It was still nice of Wad to say that about this site when it seemed like others were not being so kind. It was also nice of Wad to say nice things about you guys. It just would have been nice if that would have been acknowledged is all that I was saying. No worries :)

Ankit Sharma

That post was making random wrong statements and we only entertain new stuff was wrong one too and that did needed clearing

A J

@steelersquirrel That's a pretty large and impossible-to-pronounce name.

Ankit Sharma

16:42

@steelersquirrel JohnP gave good answer to it, I will say best

@steelersquirrel I think wad changed his answer a lot after coming here. Previously it was not like that, he came ehre when he was cappy

steelersquirrel

Yeah...I remember ;)

I gotta get out of here for a bit. See you sillies later :)

Ankit Sharma

Skooba

woo got the outspoken badge in here! Thank you to all my adoring fans!

Ankit Sharma

Now I have to start taking to walls

@Skooba congrats

And I got my 113th Popular Question badge here, I should thank my fans too

Skooba

16:48

haha! awesome!

That's a lot of good content!

A J

So I can get Populist badge now.

Ankit Sharma

I asked 306 question, so ratio is 3:1

And Notable Question are only 64

Skooba

very nice. I am keep about a 2:1 on SFF

Ankit Sharma

Which is not really bad

A J

@AnkitSharma Mine is 4:1

Skooba

16:51

technically here my ratio is 8:1 but I don't have that much content.

and it should go way up once the new season of GoT hits the screen

Ankit Sharma

@Skooba many of my questions here are from non popular stuff too, so I blame that :P

@Skooba Why don't you participate in non GoT stuff too

Skooba

@AnkitSharma dunno really. but as far as this sites top tags go, it is the one I know the most about

Ankit Sharma

Many of my questions have the tag which no one else used except me

@Skooba Go for any nolan film they are always big deal here or MCU, breaking bad, DC stuff, spy-fy etc

Skooba

@AnkitSharma even on SFF my tog tag is GoT, followed closely by HP. Things that I have read multiple times

Its just too bad Top Gun doesn't have more questions. I could answer like all of those

Ankit Sharma

@Skooba yeah you can go for harry potter and star wars stuff too

we have one

Q: How did they film the flat spin in Top Gun?

Did they really throw an F-14 into a flat spin and then have to recover it? Or is that a model shot? It seems (to a complete layperson) like an unthinkably-dangerous thing to do, but the shot looks just as authentic as all of the other real F-14 flight scenes.

film-techniques effects top-gun

But you can even ask new ones

Skooba

16:58

and then self answer them all lol

Ankit Sharma

There should be something which you don't know and want to ask and is not scifi enough

Skooba

my three questions were all well received

this is still my favorite

Q: What kind of corn did Ray grow?

From Wikipedia: Ray Kinsella is a novice Iowa farmer who lives with his wife Annie and daughter Karin. In the opening narration, Ray explains how he had a troubled relationship with his father, John Kinsella, who had been a devoted baseball fan. While walking through his cornfield one evening...

17:33

@Skooba Awwww! So sweet! I'm really enjoying the cute baby phase a lot more than I thought I would. I was never a big fan of babies but he's been such a joy.

Skooba

@Catija the talkingbit can be so cute too. my daughter told me last night I was a little daddy sandwich and she just wants to squeeze the jelly out of me. then it was big hug time.

my son in the learning to back chat stage lol

Catija

@steelersquirrel You are too sweet.

@Skooba awwww. So cute! I kiss Ben on the nose a lot and I think he's trying to reciprocate... sometimes he'll grab both sides of my face and pull it in close and grab my nose in his mouth.

Skooba

@Catija hehehe. yeah he wants to give the love back!

Ankit Sharma

@Skooba how cute

I am searching for a particular Scooby Doo animated movie, that aired on Cartoon Network, featuring a all girls'music band and either vampires or a witch. Can somebody please tell me what the movie is? I don't think it is very obscure and I think many people have watched it.

Q: Why do newspapers in film have random article text?

Sometimes a film uses a newspaper as a prop (with the camera showing the paper). I've noticed in many films, the article being focused on will have a correct title (which is what drives the plot forward), and perhaps a paragraph of logical text, but the rest of the article is about something tota...

Q: Malcolm in the Middle - How would you describe Francis's smart and intelligent use of English language?

I found it really funny how Francis had such a great grasp of the English language and used fancy words. Why do I find it funny? What thought process went into the writers' mind while creating his character with that trait?

Q: 1960's War Movie

When I was a kid, I saw a black and white war movie in the 1960's, but I can't remember exactly when. I also forgot its name, which is what I need to know. I remember it as being about one of the French colonial wars in Africa, possibly in the Sahara Desert, possibly after the end of World War ...

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson Awwwww. Well, of course I don't think that you and Ankit are on the dark side ;)

@Catija Awwww. I know that you were stressed about being a mother and not sure if you would like babies. Now look at you! I think that it's so awesome how much you love and adore that little guy! He is kinda hard not to adore...just look at him! He is just so beautiful :)

Catija and Skooba have the most beautiful children on the planet.

Catija

23:30

I see @NapoleonWilson is fixing images.

Napoleon Wilson

@Catija Yes.

A few at once.

Catija

@steelersquirrel :D If I'm ever up in the Pacific NW, I want to come say hi.

Hopefully he won't be a teenager by then, sullen or otherwise.

@NapoleonWilson Are there a lot of them?

Napoleon Wilson

@Catija The query gives 57 and I already fixed a bunch.

So this should be done soon.

Catija

That's not too bad. I saw the meta post on SFF and they have over 200 or so...

I wonder if the Youtube links are also affected.

Napoleon Wilson

@Catija Yeah, that's how I learned about the whole thing in the first place.

steelersquirrel

23:33

@Catija OMG! Of course! You guys are more than welcome to come and visit if you're ever up here! You might not get Ben back if I get to hold him, though ;)

Catija

@steelersquirrel Well, at least I'll know where to send the cops :P

Napoleon Wilson

But since we are careful about our frontpage rather than crazy, I figured there's no meta post necessary and I'll just fix it in a few sessions.

steelersquirrel

@Catija Hehehehe!

Catija

That's fine with me. I thought it was interesting how heavily downvoted the answer saying they should fix a few at a time was.

Napoleon Wilson

You can also stock up on Mary Jane.

Catija

23:34

Seemed like a reasonable thing..

@NapoleonWilson Shoes?

Oh... pot?

Napoleon Wilson

@Catija That.

Catija

Nah. We'd lose our jobs. We're not allowed.

Anyway, the only time I've been in a room of pot smokers, it made me queasy and I had to go outside or I'd have tossed my cookies.

steelersquirrel

Yeah...that's all Napoleon did while he was here. He just came for the legal weed ;)

Catija

I didn't even smoke it... it just smelled so horrid I couldn't stand it.

Napoleon Wilson

I don't really have much intention to ever do that anyway.

Catija

23:36

Why would you want to intentionally inhale something that smells like a skunk's emission? I can get that just by staying at my dad's house for a couple of nights.

steelersquirrel

I don't like it. It makes me goofy. Well...goofier than normal ;)

Napoleon Wilson

Oh god, watch out! O_O

Catija

Oh, @steelersquirrel I'm sorry to tell you of the demise of one of your compatriots. He unwisely decided to chew through some power lines at one of our locations and was fried... and took the power out with him.

steelersquirrel

And I hacked up a lung after inhaling it. It's awful. I have only done it twice in college.

Napoleon Wilson

Awww! :'(

What's with those squirrels sucking the power out of everything?

steelersquirrel

23:39

@Catija Noooooooo! I told them at the last squirrel meeting to stay away from power lines!! ;)

Catija

I've never done it - or any other illegal drug - before. I'm just not interested.

@NapoleonWilson Well, that's what happens... you start in on the easy stuff like pot and move up to the high risk stuff and the next thing you know, the only way to get your high is with high voltage... :P

Napoleon Wilson

Hehehe!

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson Hehehehe! Awwwww. I know that I have already taken years off of your life ;)

Catija

@steelersquirrel Are you making Napoleon resemble a raisin?

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel Well, that's why I came with more than 8 in free stock.

steelersquirrel

23:44

@Catija Emotionally...yes. Probably ;). He will never resemble a raisin to me. He will always be totally handsome in my eyes :)

@NapoleonWilson So...you have 9 lives now?

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel No, just over 8 years for you to take.

steelersquirrel

:'(

Napoleon Wilson

Wut? Why does that make you cry?

I was so proud of that joke. :'(

Catija

@NapoleonWilson Because 8 years isn't much.

steelersquirrel

^^

@NapoleonWilson I'm sorry. Hahahaha!!! There. I am laughing ;)

Napoleon Wilson

23:50

Okay, much better.

steelersquirrel
