Q: Name this movie

kylejp86I remember when I was a kid,(I'm 31 now) and I would go into the video store and look at the movies while my mom or dad looked for one for themselves. I always remember looking at the back and reading the description. I would always look at this one horror movie, and all I can remember is a pictu...

Q: What makes Die Hard a Christmas movie?

CoomieIt's a common theme in the meme community that Die Hard is a Christmas movie: I've seen Die Hard and other than taking place at Christmas, what else does it have to do with Christmas?

Q: What should I do with my wrong answer?

CoomieI recently submitted this answer to a question which I now believe to be incorrect. What action should I take? I can delete the answer, but while I no longer agree that the answer is correct, many people seem to agree with it (+7 upvotes). I can add a new answer, which will mean leaving contrad...

Q: "Brazil" reference in "The Last Jedi"?

user1118321Am I crazy or was there a reference to Terry Gilliam's Brazil in The Last Jedi? In the scene where Po's being dragged to the brig, I could have sworn that one of the guards taking him away says something like "We're going to have to fill out form 27B stroke 6." Did I mishear that, and if not, why...

Q: Help identifying a movie

CristianThis one I saw at a film festival, so it's likely not a Hollywood one. The plot is an old guy that used to be a theater actor, which meets this young woman also involved in the theater business. They fell in love, had a romance, sex, etc. and later they realized that he was her father. I rememb...

Q: Do actors get paid more to do their own stunts?

CharlesThere are several actors who are known for doing their own stunts. Generally speaking, is it an industry convention to pay actors "bonuses" for performing their own stunts?

There's another use case for this script. The retrieval of the flag summary counts as a site visit for the Enthousiast & Fanatic badges. You just have to visit the global flag summary once a day. — Glorfindel Jan 11 at 8:33

Q: How does Santa travel to other galaxies?

Q: Animated movie about a giant metal robot that comes to Earth and befriends a boy

Yves LaFayetteHelp me remember the name of an animated movie from the 90's, I think. It was about a giant metal robot who came to Earth and becomes friends with a boy, who tries to hide him from the other people in town and from the US Government, which had sent someone to find this robot. I know the robot w...

-1 for lazy question. — Nij 7 hours ago
notice how that has a 6 on the side?
this is why mandatory comments for downvotes is a stupid idea because then you would have 7 identical comments
hell, even the comment itself is kinda pointless because the downvote has lack of research as a reason
now you may screenshot that and use it whenever you see a meta wanting mandatory downvote commenting
 
@Memor-X Hmmm... I don't think it should be mandatory, but a form of netiquette :P If you downvote, you provide feedback on how the question should be improved so it's worthy of your neutral/upvote :P
 
@Tinkeringbell true but the people who want mandatory commenting generally want every voter to comment
so the main problem is wanting everyone to explain their vote even if you agree with another comment
 
@Memor-X Make it like the off-topic because reason: You can pick a comment to agree with and that get's one upvote? :P

Q: How did Leia enter the ship without killing everyone?

papakiasIn Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi after Leia gets blasted out of the ship and uses the force to enter it again, a door opens and she enters a non air locked area. How does she enter the ship without exposing it to space and killing everybody? I think that this was a major realism mist...

12:41 PM
I'd rather argue the people who want mandatory commenting generally don't want downvotes. ;-)
 
@NapoleonWilson I don't really care, but I want feedback as well ;) Nothing is more annoying than a heavily downvoted answer and no-one explaining what's wrong...
 
If it's heavily downvoted, then it's usually very obvious, though.
The problem is with cases where the downvote reason might not be obvious.
 
Not really... we regularly get people over at IPS that don't understand why their 'example sentence of something smart-assed to say' is downvoted to oblivion/deleted.

If no-one explains to these people that an answer on IPS preferably explains how and why it works, what underlying IPS there is beneath saying such a thing... how is an OP going to know this and improve their answer?
 
Hmm, sure, I guess.
 
(And I know because I have had a few people grunt at me that I should be commenting more when downvoting)...
On the other hand, movies is way different...
Because an answer here can generally be backed up with sources
So, no source = downvotes :P
 
12:52 PM
Not necessarily. Oh, not necessarily at all.
Not even the slightest necessarily at all.
 
@NapoleonWilson Really? And here I am trying to find references for all my answers :/
 
It depends on the question and the answer.
You should back your answers. If that "backing" means proper reasoning based on the actual movie, that is totally fine (and sometimes preferred over a plain and boring Wikipedia dump).
 
@NapoleonWilson Ah, the good old 'common sense' answers :P
I don't watch much movies though, so I'll have to do with referencing I guess ;)
 
No, not common sense, or not in the sense that "everyone knows". You gotta explain things and concentrate on the why over the what.
I'm sure that isn't any different on IPS.
 
@NapoleonWilson that's true, but why alone often isn't good enough, you need to explain 'how' too ;)
 
12:57 PM
But downvoting for lack of links is problematic, but I'm sure that's not what you proposed anyway. ;-)
 
I can often write a whole paragraph on why. The how is a lot more difficult to explain sometimes...
 
@Tinkeringbell Isn't that part of a proper why?
 
@NapoleonWilson Not really no :D
Let's say I ask for 'the proper etiquette of receiving Santa Clause into my home'...

And someone writes a whole paragraph on 'why' there should be milk and cookies.
But doesn't explain that the milk should be in a glass, near the fireplace... So I leave the milk in the fridge...

That's not a good answer! :P
 
A J
@NapoleonWilson agreed
@NapoleonWilson Did you watch TLJ?
 
A J
1:10 PM
How come?
Been busy?
 
I just didn't get around to it yet.
 
A J
Dude, you get three days off in a week.
 
I don't have to watch it as soon as possible. I'm sure it won't leave the cinemas after running for a week.
 
A J
Yeah, it wouldn't.
 
@AJ Maybe I have other things to do during that time or I have to coordinate this with other people?
 
A J
1:12 PM
@NapoleonWilson Like staying up late and logged in M&TV? ;-)
 
@AJ Show me a cinema where I can watch it at 1 am and I will reconsider.
 
A J
What?
1 am?
You do work at night?
 
What are you talking about? If I'm working at night, how would I watch the movie then?
 
A J
@NapoleonWilson The last show we get here is at 10:45 PM. But only couples come at that show and of course, not to watch the show. ;)
@NapoleonWilson never mind.
 
I don't feel like running around late at night when I got home from work. Neither do the people I would first have to organize this with.
If it makes you sleep better, I will probably watch it next week.

Q: Has a movie ever been removed/retconned due to fan/general outcry?

SCFiA certain petition going around online has made me wonder if there has ever been a retcon/removal of a movie from a movie series or just renunciation of a movie by those with creative control due to backlash, as opposed to the director(s) just deciding to go a new direction/starting fresh. Google...

 
A J
@NapoleonWilson Oh. That's why I asked if you can watch it on weekends.
 
I could maybe, but I didn't so far.
 
A J
@NapoleonWilson Good. Anyway, why would it make me sleep better? ;-) Nothing can make me stop having a good sleep.
@NapoleonWilson OK.
 
@AJ I don't know, you seemed exceptionally worried about me going to see it as soon as possible. ;-)
 
A J
@NapoleonWilson No, I wasn't. ;-P

2:31 PM
@MovieReel While looking like a promising question at first, I feel this might be turning into a complete mess really fast.
 
@NapoleonWilson Care to teach me what's wrong with it? I'm not seeing it ...
That's one of those that can be answered with sources :D
 
@Tinkeringbell The answers and comments thereon suggest it's not as clear-cut as it seems. It's really just oddly-specific and seems one of those questions where the asker won't be satisfied with anything since none of the answers, while all somewhat correct, fit the example he made up in his head to 100%.
 
@NapoleonWilson ah, thats something we see quite a lot on IPS
please tell me what I want to hear
 
@NapoleonWilson Oooh.... a 'validate me' :P
As long as the OP isn't bashing the answers they're getting, it's fine ;)
 
I'm not saying that's what it is, but it really starts to feel that way.

Yeah I'm reading the comments and you're probably right ...

Q: Searching for the name of an old animated series

Q: Significance of the starting scene in the movie Maurice

@steelersquirrel hi!
 
@steelersquirrel Hey little squirrelthingy, wanna take a look at my awesome new hat and THINK!? ;-P
 
@Tinkeringbell HELLO! Haw are you?
 
@steelersquirrel tipsy? Just had an awesome xhristnas drinks at work :D
 
@NapoleonWilson ARGH! You got the hat that I have been trying to get! Good job, babe!
 
@steelersquirrel tipsy? Just had an awesome Christmas drinks at work :D
 
8:58 PM
Apparently. ;-)
 
@Tinkeringbell Woooooohooooo! I love tipsy! I always try and take advantage of Napoleon when he's tipsy! Hehehe!
 
@steelersquirrel Ironically probably because of your comments asking about 5 million people to edit their stuff, including answers I already had left comments on. ;-)
 
@steelersquirrel as long as you don't get him tipsy in the first place that's okay I guess :P
 
@NapoleonWilson Hey! I have only left like 3 of those comments! I am just getting started, though! ;)
 
Then I must have looked at just these three posts, I guess. ;-)
 
9:01 PM
@Tinkeringbell I have tried. He has a high tolerance for alcohol. What kind of celebration were you at?
@NapoleonWilson Hahaha! You're such a smartass! Maybe that's why I love you so much! I just started my stalking posting comments for editing like 20 minutes ago! ;)
 
@steelersquirrel just food and drinks... and gossip :)
 
@Tinkeringbell Cool! For work or was it a family celebration?
@NapoleonWilson Stop editing the new posts! Give OP a chance to! You're messing with my plan! ;)
 
@steelersquirrel work of course... when the family is around I can't get tipsy... they're impossible to handle when I'm sober let alone after drinking
 
@steelersquirrel That thing I edited didn't have a comment from you, though...yet.
 
Does now!
 
9:11 PM
Not one pestering them for edits, though. And even a redundant one which just says what I did, with less certainty and explanations. ;-P
 
Doesn't say that we have to ask for edits. Just a comment! ;)
 
Well, sure. But how do ya wanna get 'em to edit then?
(Unless you're just broad-firing comments under every post hoping for a coincidental edit some time, of course.) ;-)

@NapoleonWilson That's exactly what I am doing! PaulieD jumps on the ID questions right away, so I just add a second comment to edit information into the question.
It totally worked on this one!
Hello and welcome! Could you please edit a link to the movie into your question? Thank you :) — steelersquirrel 50 mins ago
 
I'm sure the hat still works if delete that comment thread, I guess. ;-)
 
9:17 PM
Wut? Nooooooo! :'(
 
@steelersquirrel Maybe the ID questions aren't the best targets if you want the OPs to edit their post. ;-)
@steelersquirrel Hmpf, so I cannot delete any of those useless comments until you got your hat? :'(
The guy edited his post and there's now 3 outdated comments on it. :'(
 
@NapoleonWilson Really? Gheez, you can't wait a few hours? Well, you're the mod. Do whatever you want to.
 
@steelersquirrel Awww, I'll try to, don't worry. :'(
Now I have to root for you getting your effin' hat too, I see how that works. ;-P
 
Duh!
;)
3 down, 3 to go!
 
You could just throw "blooblegarble jaggamuffin" under every freshly posted answer and hope that it will get edited soon after posting anyway (and that noone flags your crazy ramblings before).
 
9:28 PM
Pfft! I am totally leaving helpful and friendly comments! ;)
 
Oh, a comment under an answer from Skooba, I really wonder if he'll edit his answer... ;-P
 
Hey! I didn't understand the context he was referring to! ;)
I know that you wouldn't do it if I left a comment on one of your posts.
 
Maybe, if it's a reasonable comment and a useful edit.
 
But certainly not for "blooblegarble jaggamuffin".
@steelersquirrel Hey, all the quicker you'll stop this rampage and I get to clean up the mess. ;-P
 
9:32 PM
I didn't leave gibberish comments.
 
Sure sure.
 
@NapoleonWilson Yeah, it's such a total mess. If I didn't know any better, I would leave this site forever and never return just because of my 2 evil comments on that question!
 
THINK!
 
9:36 PM
What revolutionary comments did you leave to get the hat?
 
I don't know. You know why? Because I didn't even care for the hat and just left normal comments as usual. And look who got the hat! ;-P
 
Well, I usually don't leave comments, so now I am forced into it.
 
Indeed, forced to leave useful comments that encourage users to improve their post. Or...at least that's what the hat is supposed to do. ;-P
 
I am leaving useful comments. Gheez :'(
 
Awww, I know, meesa just be messin' wid ya, little squirrel! ;-*
 
9:44 PM
Hello and welcome! You might want to edit the first paragraph of your answer so that it doesn't look like you're asking additional questions in your answer. It will help to get a better response. Just a suggestion :) — steelersquirrel 3 mins ago
See. This is useful.
 
Oh, good idea, lemme just do this quickly.
 
Muahahaha! ;-P
 
You are dead to me.
:P
 
Awww, now you're making me cry. :'(
 
9:47 PM
Uhuh
You have been bantering with me ever since you came in here and now I am making you cry? Pfft! ;)
 
Awww, you know I can deal out better than taking it. :'(
 
Hehehe! I know, babe. Don't cry. Here ;-* ;-* <hugs>
Is that better?
 
Awww, I wasn't really crying, muahahaha! ;-)
Fell for it!
@steelersquirrel Awww, super much! ;-*
 
w...wuuut? You're messing with my head now :'(
 
Awww, I'm sorry :'( Ah, almost got me! ;-P
> That Terminator is out there. It can't be bargained with. It can't be reasoned with. It doesn't feel pity or remorse or fear. And it absolutely will not stop ever! Until you are dead.
@steelersquirrel Awww, apparently I am since you left! I'm sorry, you win! ;-*
 
10:17 PM
@NapoleonWilson Wut? I'm going through posts to leave comments on. I didn't leave. Nobody won! This isn't a contest ;-*
 
Hmm, okay then. ;-)

You know that you can give me whatever you want to ;)

Awwwwww! You so awesome ;-*
 
@steelersquirrel Oh, dittosns! ;-*
(assuming that was addressed to me.)
 
@Riker NO! How do you get it?
@NapoleonWilson Of course it was! You're the only one I kiss!
 
@steelersquirrel Um, you wouldn't guess...
> delete 6 comments from under posts (not your own) that were edited by their owners after you commented on them
 
10:28 PM
@steelersquirrel >_>
how did I get it?
it's super easy on code golf
 
But you do actually have that already.
 
either post comments that help people shorten their answers, or clarifications on questions
 
@steelersquirrel Woot! \o/
 
How do you delete someone else's comment?
 
mod-only
and it means "under not your post", not "not your comment"
 
10:30 PM
@steelersquirrel The posts aren't your own, the comments are. So...basically cleaning up the mess after you got your effin' THINK! hat. ;-P
 
Well, that's stupid ;)
@NapoleonWilson oh...Okay. What's up with these damn comment hats this year? Ugh.
 
@steelersquirrel I know, right?!
;-P
 
@NapoleonWilson See! So leave those comments alone! I will clean them up myself!
 
oh I forgot about the think hat
I thouhgt you were getting mario :p
 
@steelersquirrel I'll take your word for it!
 
10:33 PM
The think hat is stupid.
 
I think it's cool, it fits my head just awesome!
@steelersquirrel Um, you already got that hat, though. Good idea, looking forward to it. ;-)
 
@NapoleonWilson I do?
 
you have the mario hat already
 
Gheez, don't you have overview over your hats anymore?
 
@steelersquirrel the mario one doesn't require the comments to be posted during winterbash
so you probably got it when you deleted comments for the dog hat
 
10:37 PM
What's the Mario hat?
 
The thing with a Mario-style mustache and a red Mario-style hat, duh!
And named after Mario's signature exclamation.
 
Oh! The it's a me hat. Yeah, I have had that for a while!

@NapoleonWilson OMG! I am just your little ball of yarn today! ;)
 
Hihihi!
 
10:41 PM
I'm going to go take a bath. Be back later :)

Are you busy? I was going to call you!
 
@steelersquirrel No, go ahead! I can call you too.
