Q: Identify novie with minor car accident

I remember a scene from a movie but can't remember anything else. There is a (famous?) person being driven by his driver/bodyguard when they have a small accident and the driver makes the person leave the scene before he is spotted to avoid publicity, while the driver deals with the other driver ...

Q: What movie character was "hit by thunder"?

I specifically remember a character being introduced to a group, and someone in the group whispers, "He's been struck/hit by thunder 3(7?) times." I have had no luck googling this. Any help is appreciated.

It doesn't, John. It's just a troll.

For some reason, that question seems to attract the rude/abusive answers ;)

Stupid English genders

Why can't they just go genderless?

Look at how fine Persian is doing without genders

M&TV is the only site I can zoom into 125 % without a scroll bar appearing.

Well, most people just think everyone on the internet is male ;)

Good Noon @steelersquirrel

@AJ Hello!

A J

How ya doin'?

steelersquirrel

I'm good! How are you?

A J

Fine. :)

steelersquirrel

I'm getting off work in about an hour!

A J

06:22

Ohh. Aren't you on NOC shift today?

steelersquirrel

No. My schedule is kind screwed up today. I will be on noc shift tomorrow, though.

A J

k

Seems @NapoleonWilson super-busy with his new job.

steelersquirrel

Yeah. He's busy and has a new schedule. I haven't talked to him much, either since I have been busy as well :(

A J

@steelersquirrel He's on day schedule or night?

steelersquirrel

@AJ Day schedule. He just has a long drive to work and I don't think that he can be on the site at work anymore like he used to, so he's not around that much anymore for now.

A J

06:37

@steelersquirrel I can understand. He will be at work when you are asleep and vice-versa. And I also drive one and half hour to work, so it was hard for me too in the beginning. It's just a matter of time when he'll get habitual of this.

steelersquirrel

@AJ Yeah. I'm sure that it will all work out :)

Okay...PaulieD! Dude, you're VTC questions that you're answering in the comments. Didn't you just post a meta about this very thing? I'm just trying to understand what's happening.

Ankit Sharma

@AJ wassup

A J

Watching Next.

Ankit Sharma

ohhh

I am planing to complete Dev DD

A J

@AnkitSharma What's that?

Ankit Sharma

07:09

@AJ web series from Balaji

They launched a site/app called ALTBalaji with fresh new web series

Most of the show are bold

Like Romil and Jugal is a gay incarnation of Romeo Juliet story

A J

ohh

Ankit Sharma

Dev DD is about a over the top bold girl who have no filter attached

And they are not censored so they can go anyway, like they show smooch a lot or foul language, gay kiss etc

@DForck42 I don't feel all of those comments really need removal, many of then are constructive comments which are good for future visitors too.

A J

good. how much is remaining of that?

Ankit Sharma

means ??

A J

Kitne episode dekh liye

Ankit Sharma

07:15

half season of Dev DD and full season of Romil and Jugal

A J

ok

Ankit Sharma

Boygiri sound interesting too, so might check it too

My friend gave me his registered ID so I can watch full show in free :D

A J

That's nice. :D

Ankit Sharma

Anyways I was going to pay it already, as it's quite cheap, 100 for 3 month and 300 for a year

A J

Wow

Q: What movie is it

Can someone help me. Im looking for a movie i had watched once in middle school but i cant remember the name. All i remember is that a man lost his son and threatened to kill his nephew on his 21st birthday but he dies before the boy turns 21. Then this boy is about to be 21 and two of his friend...

Speaking of weekend questions

Q: I went to a party with fun people. There was a lot of alcohol. I was very uncomfortable around the guys. Should I ever go again?

I didn't talk or anything, only with my best friend. We stayed there for 6-7 hours. I drank a lot, but I didn't become drunk. I was the only person who was sober. Now they probably think I'm just a silent loser, and I am. They were very kind to me, and I laughed a lot when watching them. Everyt...

discussion advice

Don't forget to take screenshots

Ankit Sharma

WTF

Screenshot done, flag done, DV done, upvoting ur comment done

@Memor-X hi, why so silent

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma i've had a shit day which just completes the 6th shit weekend in a row

i just turn on my laptop incase if i need the internet

Ankit Sharma

@Memor-X ohhh so sorry for that

Office issue or personal

M.A.R.

10:29

The adjective is "shitty"

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma i would say office because i no longer have a personal life.

Ankit Sharma

ohhhh

I had shitty days too but seems like they are getting little better

Memor-X

i get worked every fucken weekend to the point that i can not watch any anime, play games. i get told i'm doing work yet set on my ass doing nothing all day because i don't want to have what i enjoy ruined only to find out at the end of the day that someone decided to changes their plans so i wastes the entire day

i had left over pizza read for lunch save and find it's gone....again. i have a shower and before i get to wash my body someone uses the fucken water despite the fact it takes seconds to check if someone is in the shower

and this has been going on for 6 weeks

i might as well just stay at work 24/7

Ankit Sharma

holy shit

Is it some project pressure

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma no. this is from my family. i would be better off going to work and never coming back home

Ankit Sharma

10:38

didn't got it

Memor-X

weekends don't mean anything to me anymore. it's just me doing another job

Ankit Sharma

why not try to change it

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma yeh, the alternative is for me to move out and die alone

Ankit Sharma

ufff, don't be so dramatic

Things can turn better if you can try enough

I don't really know your situation and it is easy to say out like this but things do turn better.

I am the one who even planned a suicide once so I know how bad we can feel sometime

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma it's the truth. i have no one else so if i move out i end up alone. i've tried explaining how i hate these unplanned weekends and how they mess up my time....countless times. i've tried doing my stuff at night but because i'm the only person who knows anything about technology i'm on call 24/7 by my family to debug EVERY tech problem they have like doing their ebay searches or getting a VCR to work which the problem was an AV cable was out

Ankit Sharma

10:44

Try to convey your point to them, try to make them understand you need your own time. Maybe get a middle-man who can covey your point bit better.

Go out on some weekend trip, enjoy the life

@M.A.R. do we have any site which can cover this? If its office party then it can go on workplace

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma i have tried that but they don't listen. and isn't a middle man supposed to be neutral? how can anyone in my family be neutral when they are the cause

M.A.R.

@AnkitSharma Nah

Ankit Sharma

@Memor-X any family friend who can be this middle man

M.A.R.

YahooAnswers.SE

Ankit Sharma

@M.A.R. quora is better and more fun

Memor-X

10:49

@AnkitSharma no

Ankit Sharma

@Memor-X why don't you just make a weekend plan and spend some time out with ur friends, take a little break

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma that's the problem! i plan out my weekends yet because no one tells me anything and forces me to do work for them those plans get tossed out the window. and i have no friends to spend time with

M.A.R.

@AnkitSharma I don't hate them, so no

Ankit Sharma

@Memor-X what about office friends?

Memor-X

today when i was sitting on my ass doing nothing i could have been watching Angel Beats, playing Neir: Automata, running my autodownload scripts, getting set up to work on my game, hell i generally get on my PC at about 3PM and was going to finish playing Majora's Mask but no, i had to wait around to unload wood which didn't turn up until 6:30 and e didn't stop until 7

@AnkitSharma there's only 4 other people who i work with, 3 have families and one's on a vacation at the moment

not to mention i tend not to get too attached to colleges now, espeically since i only have 3 more months left

Ankit Sharma

10:55

ohhhh

changing company?

getting attached to people is not bad, you can still be friends with them even after changing your company

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma contract expires and i don't know if it'll be renewed

Ankit Sharma

ohhh

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma but generally we rarely have similar intrests. the only people i really talk to who share similar intrests are the people in these chat rooms. but they are always a world away

Ankit Sharma

Uff WiFI at my sister's place is too bad that I can watch this webseries, grrrrr
Maybe my brother in law is taking all the bandwidth with netflix

@Memor-X I can understand, I am not good in making friends either and went throw all this

@Paulie_D @NapoleonWilson hello o/

Paulie_D

@steelersquirrel Yeah, I goofed on that one. Blame sleep depravatiion

A J

11:03

Watched Next and Pandorum. Nice thriller movies. I don't know why they ended up so bad on box office.

Napoleon Wilson

@AnkitSharma Hello.

M.A.R.

Jello

Ankit Sharma

@AJ because Nicolas Cage is bleh

M.A.R.

@AJ Next was fine. Dunno about Pandorum

Napoleon Wilson

Yeah, Pandorum was indeed nice. Nothing too special but still underrated.

Ankit Sharma

11:05

Not seen or even heard about Pabdorum before and I can't stand Nicolas Cage

M.A.R.

He has a few good movies

Just a few

Knowing was ridiculously pointless

Ankit Sharma

@Memor-X sometime going on wal in nice weather can be a good idea too or maybe skates or cycling

A J

@NapoleonWilson It's Pandorum. :P

@AnkitSharma ^^

M.A.R.

As one critic said, "You're better off not Knowing", haha

Ankit Sharma

@M.A.R. I have seen ghost rider 2 and his costume of suprrman lives. So I have enough reason to despise him :P\

@M.A.R. lol

A J

11:08

@AnkitSharma He isn't a bad actor. I really liked some of few movies that I watched. Like Ghost Rider, National Treasure series, Face Off, and Next.

Ankit Sharma

@AJ bleh

A J

@AnkitSharma Yeah Second one was bleh.

M.A.R.

Face Off was good

Travolta is a thousand times better than Cage though

Ankit Sharma

Ghost rider 1 was ok, 2nd was one of the worse superhero movie ever made

M.A.R.

@AnkitSharma Meh, Daredevil is the best worst

A J

11:10

I didn't watch that one.

M.A.R.

Don't

Percy Jackson movies were also really bad

Good candidates for being worst

Ankit Sharma

@M.A.R. Daredevil had lots of cool moments and I kind of liked it. And I heard that extended cut was better

M.A.R.

But still lose the lameness battle

@AnkitSharma I heard that about Suicide Squad as well

Ankit Sharma

Percy Jackson is not really a superhero and second they are films made for kids

M.A.R.

You'd think it's a typical technique to wash off failures

Ankit Sharma

11:11

@M.A.R. I have not seen it's extended cut but watched it in theater and I kind of liked it too

M.A.R.

You should really try setting the bar higher

A J

@AnkitSharma I think I watched the Lightening Thief one. That made me skip all other PJ movies.

M.A.R.

I mean, it's sometimes fun to shut down mind and enjoy mindless

Ankit Sharma

@AJ I have seen first one only and bits of second one but I don't care about that franchise

@M.A.R. like watching XXX return of cage in theater :D

M.A.R.

But saying you enjoyed such movies is a disgrace to really enjoyable ones

A J

11:14

Time to give eyes some rest. See y'all later. And I might try your Dark Knight question.@NapoleonWilson

Ankit Sharma

@M.A.R. hahahahha

M.A.R.

Just watched Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World

Weird name

Good movie though

Ankit Sharma

name is weird

M.A.R.

I thought it was gonna be extremely cheesy

But it was good

Ankit Sharma

hmm

M.A.R.

11:16

mhh

Ankit Sharma

Great netflix off , my buffering on, time to complete Dev DD

Napoleon Wilson

@M.A.R. I thought it was really good, especially the rather uncompromising ending.

M.A.R.

@NapoleonWilson Nah, questions immediately popped to mind that the movie never answered: "Why is the boy so special?"

Napoleon Wilson

@AnkitSharma Of course, it's a totally fine movie.

M.A.R.

"Why, if they're here to save the boy, they won't try to save as many people as they can?"

Napoleon Wilson

11:21

@M.A.R. Well, to each his own. I comitted to the film, though.

M.A.R.

"Why and how did the girl know about the terrible events in the future?"

"How many kills constitutes a terrible event? 30? 50?"

Napoleon Wilson

@M.A.R. That is a problematic attitude, though.

M.A.R.

Considering one event involved three people, then the events should've been much more than that, because there are fatal accidents happening around the world

Plus, what happens to the side that wasn't facing the sun when apocalypse happened?

Does it mean Asia was safe?

@NapoleonWilson Why?

Napoleon Wilson

I struggle to think how these questions are too relevant for the movie's story and themes, though.

M.A.R.

@NapoleonWilson It was such an inaccurate portrayal of things that you wouldn't want to like it

I mean, that's certainly not what a university professor talks like

Napoleon Wilson

11:26

@M.A.R. You shouldn't feel bad for enjoying something, neither does it automatically relativate your enjoyment of other things. You're not comparing things rather than enjoying everything for its very own sake. Not everything is related.

M.A.R.

The guy that played John Daggett in The Dark Knight Rises was more natural, though

Napoleon Wilson

@M.A.R. They're pretty much exactly as dead, it's the friggin' sun. ;-)

M.A.R.

@NapoleonWilson I'm evaluating things.

Evaluations requires not being sensational

Napoleon Wilson

@M.A.R. It was to me, since he played one and talked like that. So that university professor obviously talks like that.

M.A.R.

@NapoleonWilson It'd make sense that the explosion made enough carbon dioxide that changes the atmosphere forever, making it impossible for any living thing to . . . live, but there was this nihilistic "supernatural forces are out to get us" theme all over the film that I despised

Napoleon Wilson

11:30

@M.A.R. And that's a fine thing to do. It just shouldn't be mistaken for enjoyment.

M.A.R.

It just feeds Christian-themed conspiracy theory

@NapoleonWilson What if I'm enjoying evaluating things? :P

Come on man, people are different. You can't expect me to like something I don't wanna like

Napoleon Wilson

@M.A.R. Well, then you didn't relate to the film's themes, which is a perfectly fine reason to dislike it, of course.

The uncompromising attitude was one of the best things about it for me.

M.A.R.

@NapoleonWilson What do you think was the film's theme?

"Shit happens"?

It certainly didn't seem like trying to make everything look random

Considering creepy angels were stalking the family to follow all the clues

Like if you didn't listen, your car should crash

Napoleon Wilson

@M.A.R. You can very well do that. But then you're enjoying evaluating things rather than enjoying things. ;-)

M.A.R.

Which it did

Ankit Sharma

11:34

Just add @DrRDizzle to mix and it will be fun chat :P

M.A.R.

If they wanted to make science look feeble and that random stuff happens, they could've done it a million times better

Napoleon Wilson

@M.A.R. Of course I can't and I never tried to. In fact it's exactly what I try you to not do. ;-)

As said, noone should feel guilty for enjoying something or relating to a film more than you do.

M.A.R.

My stance is clear: The movie could've been much much better, and I don't like things that could've been much much better

Ankit Sharma

@M.A.R. hmmm

M.A.R.

For instance, Inception could have been slightly better

Like with even more twists

Ankit Sharma

11:36

Uhhuunnn

Inception was fine

M.A.R.

It was awesome

Napoleon Wilson

I don't know if you interpret too much of a religious agenda into the film that you don't agree with. I don't either, but I also didn't see it as a propaganda film.

M.A.R.

@NapoleonWilson It didn't go as far as propaganda, but it couldn't help hinting

I don't have anything against religion. I'm not an atheist

But I have everything against superstition

If a movie aims to be unrealistic, it better be artistic

Because art is the only unreal thing that's awesome

Napoleon Wilson

@M.A.R. Well, my stance is that it was good enough, since I don't immediately know how specifically it could gave been better.

M.A.R.

Well, not talking about real art here

Ankit Sharma

11:39

@M.A.R. that was deep

Napoleon Wilson

It's not a masterpiece, but noone requires it to be, it was a nice film, nothing more and nothing less.

M.A.R.

Napoleon Wilson

@M.A.R. Of course it could, much even. It didn't use its idea to full potential and had too much of a linear and straight forward story, on first view at least.

Nevertheless amazing film, though. (Inception, that is)

M.A.R.

Well, the upside was the visuals

The plane crash scene

And the train crash

Also the apocalypse was elaborately explosive

What's the best Johnny Depp movie?

Napoleon Wilson

I disagree with the attitude that you necessarily have to support a movie's themes in order to enjoy it, though.

M.A.R.

11:46

@NapoleonWilson Well, sure

There are a lot of factors

But generally, Inception was awesome, but Knowing was not

That's about it

Stuff being unscientific or supernatural or even superstitious is mostly irrelevant details

Like wondering that if Santa exists, how he manages to drive deer without them running off

It's mostly that you like or dislike a movie, then make up reasons for why

2

Napoleon Wilson

@M.A.R. Well, when comparing them, of course, I totally agree.

I also agree that Knowing is far from awesome.

But there's nuances in everything.

I also don't like to compare arbitrary things too much. I don't think the moon is better than my left shoe because it is responsible for creating tides. ;-)

Ankit Sharma

12:06

@M.A.R. I like Edward Scissorhands more then the rest

Napoleon Wilson

That was a little bit too Tim Burton for me. But I haven't seen it for a long time.

Ankit Sharma

OK lets agree on Rango then ;)

@NapoleonWilson butron lately lost his touch

Napoleon Wilson

Sure, that was nice indeed.

Q: A TV episode where a son visits his father in the past to make a copy of a baseball

I remember watching an American live-action TV show in the early 2000's, where in one episode the main character meets his own future son as he comes out of a time traveling bus. The son has a machine that can clone any item and he asks to clone his father's prized baseball that he apparently mis...
