Q: Is the dialog in Game of Thrones drawn from the books or invented by the screenwriters?

Tyler DurdenThroughout the first seven seasons of Game of Thrones, there has been a lot of pithy dialog. Is this dialog pulled from the books or the fresh invention of screenwriters? For example, Davos says, "My father used to say it is better to be a coward for a minute, than dead the rest of your life." a...

Q: How could Thor's hair be cut?

Asif IqubalI am really amazed by the barber (Stan Lee) who cut Thor's hair in Thor Ragnarok. Later in Avengers Infinity War Thor's hair endures many attacks. In the opening scene, Thanos hits his skull in a side with the Power stone and later he endured the full power of a star. Despite all this, his hair d...

Q: Searching for old Russian movie

Vlad IoanSome 25 years ago I've seen a Russian movie where the young rebel daughter of a policeman (in Moscow?) gets involved with some bad people (car thieves?) and in the end gets rescued by her father after a car chase during which at least one of the thieves gets killed. Any of that rings a bell? Th...

rockyHere's what we think the plot was. 2 friends go to war. One of them is married and doesn't come back. The 'dead mans' friend marries his wife, the other guy isn't actually dead, he was MIA and he comes back. We think this is a WWII movie, but were not sure. We also think the movie was on two di...

@AnkitSharma This is a really dirty MSPaint job, but what would you think of this:
It lights it up to the original brightness by giving the scene backgrounds more transparency and by putting the logo inside a frame rather than making it part of the frame. This way it also emphasises the logo a little more rather than cramming it in between the images.
A downside might be that they might still not be able to anchor the image to the logo so the scenes might still be scrolling through independent from the logo.

@NapoleonWilson I'm saying that the logo is in bigger reel than other elements in the reel. Doesn't that look a little strange?
 
Napoleon Wilson
Napoleon Wilson
Oh, you mean the width.
Doesn't really look strange to me. What's the alternative? I doubt we get the logo crammed to the size of the other images.
 
A J
A J
Do we really need movie reel to go all the way from the left to right?
 
Napoleon Wilson
Napoleon Wilson
5:28 PM
@AJ Do we need it to not do it?
I mean, there will be a discrepancy between the logo and the reel anyway.
Then why not have it use the entire space and not also have a cutoff at the left and right content boundaries?
The problems arise once you make the window smaller, there needs to be some reasonable behaviour and with any version you'll get the films strip cut off under the logo at some point anyway.
 
A J
A J
@NapoleonWilson I guess you have a point. There will still be a cut-off in the reel making it look awkward as it is right now.
 
Napoleon Wilson
Napoleon Wilson
I think it would be best if the image could be anchored at the logo itself. Then you only have the cutoffs at the left and right window border where they will be quite natural and unnoticable.
But it's not clear to me if that's possible in the SE framework.
 
A J
A J
To carry out this job, they will have to keep a little space in the picture to fit the logo in that movie reel.
Making it mobile responsive will be a tough job.
 
Napoleon Wilson
Napoleon Wilson
They seem to be hell-bent on having the logo at the left content border and any image at the right content border. And then you get the clash right in the middle where everyone sees it.
@AJ Frankly, mobile is a mess anyway. But if they would just anchor it at the logo, that would be naturally dealt with, too, in a reasonable way. Or simply go with the plain logo without any film reel as soon as it's so small that both side-bars disappear.
@AJ Well, I would expect some basic image processing abilities from anyone tasked by a multimillion dollar company with a website design job. ;-)
 
A J
A J
Why not keep the logo at the left corner and movie reel on the right? You don't really have to crop the image or slide it without messing up the responsiveness. Let the reel be adjusted like the logo.
 
Napoleon Wilson

@AJ But how would you adjust it by the logo?

The only possibility would be that it just disappears under the logo.

That's where it all get messed up.
Why can't they design a header like Worldbuilding?
I mean in terms of keeping the movie reel like that castle.
 
Napoleon Wilson
Napoleon Wilson
The problem with the images that just have a downsized static movie reel on the right side is that they feel like they're using some of the available space but just not all of it. Then you have that tiny gap between the upper part of the film reel and the top of the whole banner, which seems odd.
@AJ But...that's exactly what they did. That was the first version we got.
The image was just super small.
 
A J
A J
Yes, that was the problem.
 
Napoleon Wilson
Napoleon Wilson
5:41 PM
But I don't know what the problem with using the whole banner space for the film reel is.
There is always a cutoff between the logo and the film reel. So why not just use all the available space. We have enough images to do that.
 
A J
A J
Your image suggestion is a good idea, but I'd like to see how they design it in case they consider it.
@NapoleonWilson Why don't you try Inspect Element feature of a browser and tweak some CSS?
 
Nog Shine

@AJ Someone (I think Mith) posted on Main meta that they want to keep site specific design as it is as much as possible. They started a discussion when the theme post is announced. That might have some effect on the designers.

@AJ I don't know much about CSS and I'm also not really going to do their job. It's not on me to design that.

Well, you and Ankit have given your updates on the design, haven't you? Let's see if they consider it as well.
