@NapoleonWilson sounded familiar, and indeed... :)

in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Aug 22 '18 at 12:03, by Napoleon Wilson

Not to say that Face/Off isn't nice. But Broken Arrow just had the cooler setting to me and the overall smaller scale. John Woo wasn't yet entirely devoured by Wooisms.

Yeah, that's probably one of these things I must have said about a million times in this chatroom by now.

Holy shit. Titans is the best superhero show there ever was.

I mean, the characters are pretty much all wrong. They do stuff their comics counterparts would never do. But once you just forget that, it's just incredible, and so. much. kudos. to the finale.

Q: Why is it a problem for Freddie if guys from Munich did what he want?

In Bohemian Rhapsody (2018), Freddie is trying to reunites with Queen Band in front of Jim Beach. Freddie: I went to Munich. I hired a bunch of guys. I told them exactly what I wanted them to do...and the problem was... they did it. No pushback from Roger. (points to Brian) None of your r...

Q: Police in movies/tv and license plates

Something I've noticed happening frequently in movies and television- when police are reporting the license plate number of a vehicle, instead of saying the letters on the plate they say words with the letter on the license plate being the first letter in the word. Why do they do this? Why not j...

Q: In the Sopranos, what does "...once they got Gary Cooper in touch with his feelings..." refer to?

In the Sopranos episode Strong, Silent Type (Wikipedia, IMDB) the character Tony Soprano says: Let me tell you something. Nowadays everybody’s got to go to shrinks, and counselors, and go on Sally Jessy Raphael and talk about their problems. Whatever happened to Gary Cooper? The s...

Q: Why do they play "Scotland the Brave" at the beginning of "Dead Poets Society"?

The movie is set in the United States, in Vermont, according to Wikipedia, so why do they play this Scottish patriotic song? The scene can be seen here (at around 0:30 they play it on bagpipes): This section only mentions that it's played in the movie, but wit...

Dude, I like the Pacific Rim movies, but if you're looking for any common sense for anything in those movies you're going to be disappointed — Binary Worrier 12 mins ago

@Jenayah lol

@Memor-X movie

@Jenayah I was so negative about it due to trailers but now rethinking and we got it here on netflix too

in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, 13 hours ago, by Jenayah

As a side note, Titans reinforces my position of "f**k trailers, I'll wait 'till I can see the thing and ot watch the trailers so I don't have a previous idea". The trailers are awful and don't do any justice to the series.

in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, 13 hours ago, by Jenayah

Then again, it's so much of an unusual series you can't even present it with a trailer.

Lol

But I have to finish Umbrella Acadamy first

have you seen it @Jenayah ?

nope

It's more like doom petrol but start where doom petrol end

Haven't watched it yet

Wait Didn't Doom Patrol premiered two days ago?!

currently watchhing YJ S3E01

3:24 PM

@Jenayah Not in Netflix here yet and DC universe is not online in India

@Jenayah that's also not in India yet :'(

... I don't have either of those truth be told whistle

lol

I use someone else's netflix and netfix originals are really good

Russian doll and now umbrella academy

Everything Sucks!... when it wasn't cancelled :'(

Not seen that one

it's nice

3:33 PM

too much pending to see

I think I will stick with my break from arrowverse and netflix MCU stuff for now

I dropped Arrowverse midway through Flash S4

got way too boring for me to follow

Supergirl/Arrow I didn't watch cause meh, LoT S1 was fun

whole 2018 stuff from arrowverse left for me I guess

Iron Fist and luke cage first season were enough for me and punisher is super slow for me

Daredevil s3 I might watch someday

in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, 13 hours ago, by Jenayah

The Marvel shows I've seen so far are Daredevil (up to S2), Iron Fist (S1). Which were pretty good.

in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, 13 hours ago, by Jenayah

Caught a glimpse of some Agents of SHIELD, didn't really like it.

in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, 13 hours ago, by Jenayah

Daredevil, Defenders and Punisher are on the watch list.

in The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, 13 hours ago, by Jenayah

But holy heck Titans was just awesome.

@Jenayah 'Iron Fist S1 was not at all good

@Jenayah same pinch

@AnkitSharma t'was okay

compared to stuff like S3+ Arrowverse :P

3:41 PM

@Jenayah defender is a mess but not boring. Punisher start was slow so left

noted

@Jenayah arrowverse is "Hey we made something good now lets poop on it"

Arrowverse is also "hey we screwed that up, let's still keep it for half the season though"

@Jenayah Jessica Jones? I loved S01 a lot, S02 had issue but still not bad

@Jenayah flash is worse, all three seasons have the same story. Hey I am fastest man alive except villain is faster than me, climax villain is related to barry

and everyone knows my identity

new colleague? Learns my identity in three days

Friend's girlfriend? Learns my identity

Pizza guy too

3:45 PM

lol

arrow was best in S01 and S02 and then they farted over the logic and writers

Legends of tomorrow is logicless and have boring villain issue but sometimes enjoyable

And I forgot to tell 70% of Arrow cast is in team arrow and are heroes and rest 30% is villain

4:27 PM

@Memor-X I was talking about the Nicolas Cage movie. But...I have seen that show before. My nephew is a huge fan of it.

Someone in old Mos knew someone who competed on that show.

@AnkitSharma Do you remember who that was? ^^

Phantom, I think.

I didn;t had an idea

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson Did you check the servants quarters and make sure that your twin dobermans are being taken care of...since you have an "estate"? :P

@Memor-X I watched the earlier seasons. I remember that Tom Savini was a guest judge. That was super cool! I watched the first 3 seasons, I think. I always wanted Rick Baker to be a guest. Maybe he was in later seasons.

yawns

steelersquirrel

OMG!! It's ~~Himarm~~ AJ!!

:P

:P

what's up?

steelersquirrel

4:36 PM

Nothing. Working :)

Or...acting like I'm working ;)

@steelersquirrel I always thought you act like you're working. ;P

steelersquirrel

Totally!

@steelersquirrel wow

Like Napoleon acts like a software developer, but he is a spy in reality. ;)

3

@steelersquirrel lol

steelersquirrel

4:40 PM

@AnkitSharma Napoleon has maids and gardeners and stuff since he has an estate. He inherited it from being a spy all of these years.

@steelersquirrel wow that's why he isso busy lately

steelersquirrel

@AJ I don't even know what a software developer is, but I'm sure that he isn't one ;)

@steelersquirrel you don't know what a software developer is? O.o

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel Someone who...develops software, I'd assume.

3

steelersquirrel

@AJ Er...some computer person of sorts?

4:42 PM

Are you the same Steelersquirrel I have known for years? ;P

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel A little, yes.

steelersquirrel

The same steelersquirrel who has zero clue about technology and computer crap? Yes ;)

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel If I had gardeners, I wouldn't need to rake leaves. ;-)

steelersquirrel

I know what software is...but, I have zero clue on how one would develop it or what the job of a software developer entails.

Napoleon Wilson

...or mow the lawn.

I could still..."mow the lawn", but I have no maids either... ;-)

steelersquirrel

4:46 PM

@NapoleonWilson Uhm...because you're a spy! Duh! You have to keep up the facade!! Why am I having to tell you how to be a spy? ;)

@NapoleonWilson So you do the chores by yourself?

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson OMFG!!! I got in trouble for this kind of stuff last week!! You're leaving the door wide open!! Argh! ;)

@AJ It's just a house. Napoleon thinks it sounds cooler to call it an "estate" :P

Like Godfather?

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel It's a house on a surrounding property, though!

@AJ lol

4:53 PM

@NapoleonWilson I have a house with wide open sky, and a backyard that is home for some squirrels. :P

I'd call it a mansion. :P

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson How much property?

It has to have like 100+ acres to be considered an estate ;)

@NapoleonWilson that means you say yes for mansion and maids ;)

steelersquirrel

@AJ That's what he wants us to think... :P

Napoleon Wilson

100+? o_O

steelersquirrel

Yeah. You need room for like stables and stuff.

4:57 PM

@NapoleonWilson to make you feel better my new maid is pathetic in her work

Napoleon Wilson

@AnkitSharma At "mowing the lawn"?

steelersquirrel

I swear to god that someone needs to ask a question on why twin dobermans represent power and wealth in movies. I can name 5 off the top of my head right now.

@AJ lol

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson OMFG!! LOL!!

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel So...you want us to ask a question only for you to slap a useless example list answer onto it? ;-P

steelersquirrel

4:58 PM

@AnkitSharma Napoleon is being naughty. Don't walk into his trap! ;)

@NapoleonWilson I have no lawn, it's difficult to have a lawn in 11th floor

@steelersquirrel He can ride horses? I know he can ride... well... never mind. :P

@steelersquirrel ahem ahem

Napoleon Wilson

@AnkitSharma I know, don't worry. ;-)

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson No! Why they represent that in movies, not which movies, silly!

Napoleon Wilson

4:59 PM

@steelersquirrel Yeah, but you said you wanted to answer it with a list of examples.

steelersquirrel

Ohhhhh...y'all are being naughty up in here. Mith is going to come and scold you guys ;)

@NapoleonWilson No. I said that I had examples of movies floating around in my head...meaning that it is shown a lot in movies.

Hey @Mithrandir we need scolding

@steelersquirrel done

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel Oh, I seesns.

steelersquirrel

Oh, God. Don't invite him in here to willingly have him scold us! ;)

Napoleon Wilson

Yeah, who does that?

steelersquirrel

5:01 PM

I hate getting scolded by a teenager. I get enough from my nephews, I don't need it in here ;)

lol

steelersquirrel

I gotta go! See you sillies later :)

Napoleon Wilson

See, you scared her off! :'(

@steelersquirrel so early :/

Q: In Jim Jarmusch's Only Lovers Left Alive, are vampires going extinct?

When Eve finds Adam's wooden bullet and assumes the worse, she gives him the benefit of the doubt by asking, "Just tell me you're having problems with one of the others." Adam says plainly, "I don't see any others. Ever." With clean blood being so rare that they have to pay someone for their f...

@Tinkeringbell hey long time no see

Heya!

True ;) How are you?

good

what about you

Good too :) Bordering on great actually ;)

I'm starting to work with a new team, and it's so much nicer than the crappy one I've been in since last September (though that one already improved massively with the addition of new/other team mates in January) :)

Q: Why does the movie Inside man start with a Bollywood track

First scene of inside man. Why does the movie inside man has the Bollywood track Chhaiya Chhaiya in the opening scene?

analysis inside-man

@Tinkeringbell Nice

The Umbrella Academy did something which X-Men film series failed to do, missing the potential of someone like Ellen Page.

But it ended on big wtf cliffhanger

Napoleon Wilson

8:11 PM

@MovieReel Is this thing just talking about the music or what? I checked the videos and I had zero idea what this guy was even talking about as there is no such scene in the linked videos. But then I thought he might just be talking about the music, since I watched the clip without sound.

Time to sleep zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Was that edit okay? Look at revision 2 (the suggestion) and 3 (improved). I rejected the edit back then, since it seemed to me that the anonymous user tried to edit an answer into the question.

Napoleon Wilson

9:48 PM

Yeah, seems an odd edit indeed.

Shall I roll it back?

I see, you already did.

Napoleon Wilson

@AnneDaunted Too late. ;-)
