Q: from Wall Street, A Pharaoh that did not know

R. CannonIn the 1987 movie Wall Street, Carl Fox played by Martin Sheen is skeptical of Gordon Gekko's intentions. He says to his son Bud: There came into Egypt a Pharaoh that did not know. I was wondering what this actually meant. I've always assumed it's from the Bible, but I couldn't find an ex...

Q: Duplicate episode titles

rwallaceHave there been any TV series with duplicate episode titles? Like where, say, episode 50 has a certain title, and then episode 100 has the same title, perhaps because whoever thought it up, wasn't around for, or had forgotten about, the previous occurrence thereof?

@MovieReel Interesting question! I wish that I had the energy to put into answering it right now. It would take way too much research and my brain already hurts ;)

Q: What was the anecdote about filming the Starship Troopers shower scene in director's commentary?

DVKSomeone once left a comment under my asnwer about "Starship Troopers": The Director's commentary of the film has an interesting anecdote about filming the shower scene 10-upvotes-comment requesting details (because humans) went unaddressed, sadly. What exactly was the anecdote?

 
4:50 AM
I'm actually surprised that he lived as long as he did considering his disease. Either way, he led an extraordinary life :)

@Memor-X :(
 
He was obviously a super important person and his death is breaking news, but I would feel awkward starring that message ;)
 
5:09 AM
@steelersquirrel yeh he was only given 2 years to live after his was diagnosed at 22 with MND
 
Yeah...he had a rare form of ALS, didn't he?

Q: In the Black Panther soundtrack, "Ancestral Plane", what is the string theme most like?

madscientist159There is a short string theme in the Black Panther soundtrack that reminds me of a late 19th century / 20th century work that I cannot seem to identify. On the YouTube version of the track it is at 2:52. I could have sworn I'd heard it before stepping into the theatre, but the original piece ma...

@steelersquirrel I dunno, good question. Maybe one for the site? (Did you finish part 1, BTW?)
@M.A.R. Seconded, @steelersquirrel. Wow, you really only watched the twology? I mean, that's not even a word!!
 
8:39 AM
@Memor-X :(
i wonder how will SHeldon Cooper take this
 
9:23 AM
@Walt the word is probably "biology"
@Memor-X OH MY GOODNESS :'(
 
JAD
duology*
biology is something entirely different
 
@JAD you don't say
I have no idea what "biology" is
 
JAD
@M.A.R. well, then let me explain...
Biology is the natural science that involves the study of life and living organisms, including their physical structure, chemical composition, function, development and evolution. Modern biology is a vast field, composed of many branches. Despite the broad scope and the complexity of the science, there are certain unifying concepts that consolidate it into a single, coherent field. Biology recognizes the cell as the basic unit of life, genes as the basic unit of heredity, and evolution as the engine that propels the creation of new species. Living organisms are open systems that survive by ...
 
I need young sheldon quote now
 
JAD
funnily enough, the wikipedia page of duology doesn't exist, it just redirects to trilogy
 
@JAD No no no, it's twology, it's French. Analogy, twology, thrilogy. And so on and so forth until it peters out at 24, which is of course the highest number.
 
JAD
which... doesn't contain the word duology

@Walt most famous of all, the vingt-et-un-ology

@M.A.R. I like it
 
@AnkitSharma yay thank God
Ankit likes it
 
JAD
@M.A.R. Maybe this then:
 
@M.A.R. hides pitchfork
 
JAD
Biology is the science that studies life and living things, and their evolution. Living things include animals, plants, fungi (such as mushrooms), and microorganisms such as bacteria and archaea. The term 'biology' is relatively modern. It was introduced in 1802, and was immediately adopted by Lamarck. People who study biology are called biologists. Biology looks at how animals and other organisms behave and work, and what they are like. Biology also studies how organisms react with each other and the environment. It has existed as a science for about 200 years, and was preceded by natural history...

10:02 AM
@NogShine so what day is the maintenance day?
 
Saturday
 
Oh
So why the hell are you discussing it?
 
Why not?
 
@NogShine there are much more cooler discussions to be had than some obsolete info in the near future
Like "The World's End"
 
@NogShine AM or PM and when ?
@M.A.R. lol

@AnkitSharma @M.A.R. This is the reason I am discussing.

Heh
 
JAD
former sister?
 
Trump fired Rex Tillerson
He's an agent of chaos
 
@JAD it is my belief that Anna and Elsa will learn they aren't actually sisters when then opens it up to it being non incest
 
A J
@AnkitSharma Then it is time to leave the Earth and shift on Mustafar where you can adjust very easily. :P

@AJ he is dead
@MovieReel because she don't want to ruin her nail-paint
 
@AnkitSharma was he ever alive to begin with?
We don't consider the Earth around us as alive
Plus, if life was disappointing to him, then was he disappointed of himself?
Nitpicky question, but I can ask it on M&TV :p

1:43 PM
@M.A.R. but would you consider a planet that can support life as being alive while a planet that can't being a "dead" planet?
also i think we can match every quality Data considered as signs of being human to Ego. Ego fought to preserve his own life, he was able to reproduce, he was self aware, he was intelligent and able to learn and adapt

HELLO MY INTERNET FRIENDS!!!
@Walt No. I haven't watched anymore episodes since last time we chatted. I'm going fishing this weekend, though and I'm bringing my DVDs on the boat to watch! So, I will have lots to talk about after the weekend, I'm sure ;)
@Walt Yeah, I know. I'm a complete slacker ;)
I have lots of stuff to ask on the site once I'm done with the show!
 
A J
@steelersquirrel keep asking as you go. It might make @Walt to answer and be active again. ;)
 
The only problem is that I don't want to ask something that is answered in an episode that I haven't seen yet.

I love your lame jokes :P

OMG! @AnkitSharma changed his profile pic again!
Who is that supposed to be?
 
A J
@steelersquirrel Ian Armitage
AKA Young Sheldon Cooper.
 
Ahhhhh...okay.
 
A J
You don't know who is Sheldon Cooper, do you? ;)
 
I do! The dude from TBBT!
I watched some episodes of that show when it first came out.
I lol'd super hard at one of the lines in that show and I will never forget it.
 
A J
@steelersquirrel which one?
 
4:29 PM
Either Sheldon or Leonard were in their bedroom with a girl and they asked her if she had any birth control...besides the Dungeon & Dragons posters on the wall, which always worked as a deterrent for sex in the past. LOL.
And another episode I remember is Raj and the other guy went to a night club and were trying to be cool and they had those sleeves that make you look like you have arm tattoos. lol.
 
A J
I can't recall that.
 
This was like the first season, iirc.
 
A J
@steelersquirrel Yeah that one was funny
@steelersquirrel I still can't.
 
That was the episode where the elevator was broken ;)
Muahahahaha!
@AJ Hmmmmm...I'm 99.9% positive that was from TBBT.
 
A J
@steelersquirrel was that girl from korea?
@steelersquirrel Then that was 3rd season.
 
4:34 PM
Oh, God. I don't remember. I just remember that line because I laughed at it forever!
@AJ I was just being a smartass. I just thought that was a recurring joke on that show.
 
A J
There are so many funny lines in that show.
@steelersquirrel lol
See her laughing
 
I can't open it on this stupid laptop.
 
@steelersquirrel The diarhea one was really good, though.
 
I would post the awesome Beavis & Butthead chant, but I don't think anyone in here would get it ;)

@steelersquirrel really , I am shocked
@steelersquirrel Young Sheldon Cooper
@steelersquirrel my dp is for Young Sheldon which is prequel show and is more drama then comedy and it’s way better

@NapoleonWilson thanks.
 
Are you guys becoming more weird or I am becoming normal now ?
 
@AJ Shocker. That's all that has been in the news here all morning ;)
 
@AnkitSharma Sure, that was genuinely funny.
 
@steelersquirrel ohh
 
At least it's a better headline than Meghan Markle and her fashion mishaps. lol.
 
5:08 PM
@steelersquirrel who is she ?
 
A J
@steelersquirrel I turned on the TV just now. ;
 
@steelersquirrel I...was just about to say.
(Except I didn't actually know her name.)
 
@AnkitSharma The American girl who is marrying Prince Harry. It's MAJOR news over here!!!
 
@steelersquirrel meh
 
The media here is obsessed with it because she's American. All we hear about in the media over here is how bad Trump sucks and Meghan Markle's fashion choices ;)
 
5:12 PM
Why should we care
 
Because people in the UK and US get totally wrapped up in this stuff.
JFC. Ugh.
I frigging hate it when something of mine gets edited out of some stupid frigging mistake
 
A J
> Evening news is where they begin with ‘Good evening', and then proceed to tell you why it isn't.
 
@steelersquirrel Why what happened? :'(
 
This was seriously the top story on MSN yesterday ^^
@NapoleonWilson Nothing. Don't worry.
I just hate it when I spend a million hours researching something and I make some stupid frigging mistake.
...and others are actually anal enough to find it ;)
 
@steelersquirrel Awww, well, that's why they're easily fixable.
 
5:25 PM
...and it will be fixed.
 
A J
@steelersquirrel lol
 
This is why I'm not answering that Wall Street thing. I will spend hours researching it and not do something right.
@AJ Hehehe!
 
@steelersquirrel But what does it matter if it's easily repairable? Nobody's perfect and we don't downvote for typos.
Why are you so sensitive to edits suddenly?
 
It wasn't a typo. I actually looked it up. I must looked up a wrong source.
 
A J
@NapoleonWilson husshhh.... :P
 
5:28 PM
@NapoleonWilson I'm not being sensitive! Gheez. I'm just rambling nonsense. Don't worry!
 
@steelersquirrel Okay. ;-)
 
I'm mad at myself. (I'm not really mad, though!)
 
I'm waiting for your Wall Street answer then.
 
That would take waaaaay too much effort. I will just continue to live my life :P
I know nothing about biblical stuff to write a good answer and I wouldn't know what to do if someone questioned it.
I can twitter stalk Oliver Stone, though! ;)
 
A J
That news channel has shown clips from The Theory of Everything so many times. Now I want to watch it.

You haven't seen it? Even I watched it! ;)

No. I didn't.
 
It was okay. He was kind of a player with women, iirc ;)

Yeah...but he was even after his disease had him disabled ;)
 
A J

I think he even had an affair. I can't remember.
 
A J
he did actually.
 
Yeah. I think it was with his caregiver or something.
Maybe a student?
I only saw the movie once.
Spoiler Alert! :P

I will watch the movie and let you know. :P

@AnkitSharma Your problem is geographical. American girls are way more open in that department ;)
We have lame pie jokes today and tomorrow we will have lame "ides of March" jokes!!! Wooooooot!!!
 
@steelersquirrel Is it because it is Pi day?
Did you wear Purple today?
 
@NogShine The Ides of March jokes?
@NogShine Never! Purple is the color of Ravens! ;)
I actually have a purple hoodie that I'm wearing right now. lol.
 
@steelersquirrel I dunno what it is
 
Are we supposed to be wearing purple today?
 
5:43 PM
@steelersquirrel but your president is the issue :p
 
@steelersquirrel Hahaha. There you go
 
@NogShine It's from Shakespeare's Julius Caesar play :)
 
@steelersquirrel Didn't you say you already did almost all the research for that? You were totally anxious that someone else already answered it.
 
Why purple ?? I have nothing purple
 
@steelersquirrel Yeah, provided the movie was accurate. As much as I heard it had a distinct lack of showing him, well, actually being a physicist.
 
5:44 PM
@steelersquirrel Yes, some women decided to wear purple today
 
And which question we are all talking about
@NogShine so?
 
@AnkitSharma wiat.com/news/local/… @steelersquirrel
 
@NapoleonWilson No. I didn't do hardly any research on it besides google the line in the movie. I was going to if nobody else answered it, but it's too much for me to do right now. Maybe I will wait for it to be an official "unanswered question" so that I can win the challenge later ;)
@NogShine Why?
@AnkitSharma The Wall Street question.
@NogShine Great. Now everyone will assume I am a meteorologist and ask me about the weather all day ;)

@steelersquirrel no
@NogShine no
 
It's actually a good question. It should have received more attention, imo.
@AnkitSharma Wuuuuut? Are you high? ;)
I even won that challenge!
 
Hawking challenge
 
A challenge on Hawking specifically? Yeah...I really doubt that.
Maybe you're thinking of the Oscar challenge.
Hawking in all honours, but I really don't know what he has to do with film and TV. What would the viable questions or works be there?
 
5:53 PM
Look at Napoleon...all trying to make sense and stuff ;)
 
There are four films @NapoleonWilson
Documentaries
 
Yeah. I just don't see how a challenge on this site would make sense.
They did an "in memoriam" meta over on SFF.
They give a list of his appearances on imdb.
I don't know if you wanted to do something like that?...
I vote that we do a challenge specifically on the Leprechaun movies. Syfy originals included, of course :P
 
@steelersquirrel We don't really do in-memoriam posts here, especially not for people unrelated to film & TV. I find these a little odd really.
Meta isn't really chat.
 
@NapoleonWilson I wasn't talking about doing an "in memoriam" post here. I was referring to the post on SFF and how his imdb credits were listed in their post.
 
What did you mean with "doing something like that" then?
 
6:04 PM
Of course you would find that odd... ;)
I think that it's cool, but that's just me ;)
@NapoleonWilson Something with his special appearance credits listed on imdb.
 
Sure it's cool. It's just misplaced. ;-)
@steelersquirrel I see.
 
Whatever you say...
Is SFF the only site that does those in memoriam meta posts?
I wonder if they do that on History.SE
Muahahahaha!!!
:P
 
I don't know.
 
It was a joke...
Where's @AJ to laugh at my lame jokes? ;)
 
@steelersquirrel I meant the question before that. (Unless that was a joke, too.)
 
6:16 PM
@NapoleonWilson Well...it was the lead-in to my awesome joke!
 
I see.
