Q: What's with most of the movies trying to give a message instead of being entertaining

I just watched Nightcrawler(2014). The whole movie was entertaining to me except the ending. When I searched about it, people said that it meant to give a message and i got it. But I don't want a message instead of entertainment out of my 2 hours when I am watching a movie especially from thrille...

Q: RAIDERS LOST ARK unused scene

I have a faint recollection of reading that a scene was filmed of a sympathetically portrayed German soldier ordered to kill a hostage by his Nazi superior. This scene was never used. Can anyone confirm my recollection?

Q: How is Superman able to defeat Kryptonians who are better trained and skilled than him?

During Man of Steel, Superman battles and defeats several military trained Kryptonians (eg. Zod, Faora etc) who have much more training and combat skill at their disposal. Faora mentions that he is weak and unsure of himself and Zod mentions that he has trained his entire life. So how is Superma...

Q: Is this ever happened in the history of Spider-Man?

In the end credits of Spider-Man: Far From Home, Mysterio reveals that Peter Parker is the Spider-Man. Spider-Man identity was always a secret to the world,(At least in the films) only a few people knew peter is Spider-Man. So I was wondering if something like this happened before? I am looking...

@MovieReel MCU tag or not?

@AnkitSharma I think no. It includes animated series, live action films

Use proper verb there if you're changing the tense, @NogShine :P

Speaking of Spider-Man, does the girl know the identity of Desi Spider-Man? ;)

@AJ well, that's an edit conflict.

@NogShine lol

Spider Man Spider Man... guess the next lyrics.

@Memor-X no wrong, right one is this ^

@AnkitSharma Yes, you're right!!

And what is winning prize

6:07 AM

@AnkitSharma I will ask a question on that movie. :D

Sony:

@AnkitSharma Because you have asked specifically, I will send that video to you everyday till Sony decides to rethink about Spider-Man.

@NogShine good luck

@Memor-X It's just Disney being too greedy

@AnkitSharma Oh! That is a joke.

5%( I got to know it was 5% not 0 on movies and 100% on merchandise) to 50% jump

6:14 AM

@AnkitSharma ok then, replace Sony with Disney

Public outrage might force disney/sony to come on middle ground

Q: Could this character be charged with statutory rape?

Towards the end of the "River" series, we find information about Frankie's parents: Nowe, we know that she was about 14 when Frankie was born and since she was 44 when she died, we know that she had to conceive 30-31 years ago (Frankie's father would be then about 30-40 since he looks now arou...

Q: Cormorant vs Eel?

I recently saw a cormorant at our local park. It dove pretty quickly, soon after it came up struggling with a large green eel. The thick 2' eel seemed quite determined to escape by thrashing and even wrapping around the birds neck! Still, after about 2 minutes the bird somehow opened it’s throat ...

@M.A.R. an Ornithology.se ?

@M.A.R. sure sure we will look at it

10:08 AM

now I don't understand why all of a sudden.

10:24 AM

Was that my first chat suspension after being muggle O.o ?

Anyways context matters

@AnkitSharma Oh!

Suppose, if you think chat suspension is unfair, what is the correct place to challenge it? Is there a meta about this?

0

Q: Was this character a traitor or were they trying to just provoke Gaitonde?

In the season 2 of "Sacred Games", towards the end, we see This question arose because from a lot of conversations between the both of them through out the show, she showed a lot of inclination to kill herself and at one point asked Gaitonde to kill her. She also smiled after he killed her. ...

plot-explanation sacred-games

@NogShine cry in shame corner ;)

I am asking seriously man.

Having a serious discussion or funny conversation and then you get a message you can't chat for 30 minutes.

Not sure, nothing usefull on meta either

10:35 AM

The duration looks small. But it's feels like when you are in between of an intense p...um.. psychological thriller movie and suddenly there is a power cut. ;)

hi everyone!!

Hello @microbuster

@NogShine lol we can ask catija?

Or it will be overkill

@NogShine how u all are doing?

Q: What can I do to lift or reduce a suspension?

I understand what it means to have an account temporarily suspended, but what happens if I think the suspension was too harsh or unjust? If I am a new contributor and unfamiliar with how things work on SE, how do I appeal against the suspension? Can a suspension be reduced? How do I do this? ...

support faq account-suspension

This is about site suspensions.

@microbuster Doing great. How about you?

10:40 AM

@NogShine yup

@NogShine trying to find peace after school

@AnkitSharma you naughty!! (for the lol)

@Catija hi, needed a help if you are free

10:52 AM

well I want to ask something to all of you, can you just spend your whole life living with honeybees buzzing around you on a silent island??

@microbuster no

@AnkitSharma then how can william butter yeats (a poet) can even imagine such scenario

well i can't too live like this

hmm

what if u are bitten by a bee, you can't even reach to the hospital for medication, its just a lonely island!

11:09 AM

@NogShine Step 1. cause more drama in chat by complaining about moderation

I mean, that's the only course of action I've ever seen

@microbuster OH NO OMG A . . . bee?

Talking more about chat suspension after unbanning is not useful. It would only prolong the drama.

Thank you Captain Obvious :p

Don't do that. I'm only ever snarky to Mith. You're getting in the way

I think I should post a meta on this and it might take me to 6k.

@M.A.R. Hahaha. Experience. :D

Is site meta right place? Because that is the only option I see.

@AnkitSharma Hey if you don't get humor other people do

@NogShine Probably not, TBH. The only reasonable course of action is apologizing, admitting that we're still friends, and moving on

A meta rant is obviously going to be received poorly. A constructive meta post is likely to get downvoted nonetheless because dude, why does it matter.

Apologizing even if we think the suspension is unjust?

11:13 AM

@M.A.R. but a meta rant is entertaining to see the self destruction

@NogShine What are the repercussions or consequences of rubber stamping the suspension as valid, or invalid?

Nothing is at stake, so humility can only gain you friendship

@Memor-X Shhh.

You're spoiling the whole reason I frequent meta.SO to everyone.

41 mins ago, by Nog Shine

The duration looks small. But it's feels like when you are in between of an intense p...um.. psychological thriller movie and suddenly there is a power cut. ;)

Of course. And being able to channel the emotions is what makes the better people among us.

@M.A.R. But there should be a good reason to get suspended. If I have done nothing and still get a penalty, it doesn't feel good to me.

Napoleon Wilson

It doesn't have to feel good to you really. But unless it becomes a pattern, moving on is the most healthy way for your own and everyone else's sanity to deal with it.

11:24 AM

@NogShine hey, someone pin this!

@NapoleonWilson Afternoon

Napoleon Wilson

And by now it far doesn't look like a pattern of you getting suspended for nonsense all the livelong day. So let's worry about the problem once it becomes one.

The dude said "fuck" and someone didn't like it. That was likely a stupid flag, yes. But whatever. And maybe it can help to remind us all to find a healthy balance between Disney and Tarantino in our language.

@M.A.R. Yes

11:43 AM

@NapoleonWilson yeah, especially considering this is a 13+ site and what, the flagger has never seen an F bomb in a movie?

Maybe only watched Pixar.

@M.A.R. Incredibles 2 had some mild swear language.

but not f.

11:58 AM

@NogShine or 0 with douwnvotes

@M.A.R. done

@AnkitSharma Now I'm starting to see how you might be tangentially useful in some circumstances

That is the best compliment I

@AnkitSharma That does seem between Pulp Fiction and Finding Nemo

Q: How can all people listen to the talk from long distances like in mass ceremonies, rallies etc

I always wonder about this particular scenario, where in a large area, the lead speaks and all of the audience listen although they are quite far away. In some motivational speeches, the army commander speaks from a long distance and the soldiers get encouraged and respond to it. This can be obs...

12:42 PM

@AnkitSharma Awake now.

1:06 PM

who was suspended? and why?

@ankiiiiiii @AJ for not being AJ enough

@AnkitSharma would have been suspended for the same reason but he was stealing @AJ's AJ-ness

@Catija nothing much, just a flag to my chat msg which I was surprise about but no further flagging suggest it wa just one incident. Also I am wondering what are the step we supppose to take if random flags ever happen in future

If anyone is eligible to get their age doubled or tripled, it is @M.A.R. He is a 40 year old intellectual trapped in a body of 19.

@AnkitSharma The last flag in here (other than just now) was on the 5th. Doesn't seem to be a huge issue right now but if it gets problematic, you'll need to contact us.

@Catija ok sure

3:27 PM

Anyone else here disappointed that the new public dev team is wasting their time on "be nice"? stackoverflow.blog/2019/08/20/upcoming-on-stack-overflow/…

3:39 PM

@DForck42 meh, don't care much to bother

Napoleon Wilson

A little, yes. But...that's also an old hat by now.

I just hope the changes turn out to the better still.

Or...not to the worse at least.

Your surprise at the time the dev team invests in this issue suggests you might not be up to par on the bigger meta developments across SE over the last...year, though. ;-)

@NapoleonWilson there might be parts of the convo that i've missed, but i know this is something that they've been focused on for a LONG time, to the detriment of other issues they could be working on imho

and meta feature requests have unofficially been deprecated for a long time, which is super frustrating

Napoleon Wilson

3:59 PM

True.

they also only have 3 devs working for the entire stack exchange network, which feels... lacking

anyway, how's everyone doing?

Napoleon Wilson

4:15 PM

Okay.

4:30 PM

@NogShine Aw, thanks. I'm 20 though. 21 in December.

Wait. Squinting

I can't detect any sarcasm in that message.

Something is broken here.

@DForck42 Well, they started being a little bit more responsive to meta FRs, so YOUR ARGUMENT IS INVALID.

They seem to have an internal bug tracker and stuff but since it's tangled with lots of private things they haven't ever been talking about it much

It's mostly about what used to work for a smaller, 2008 site, not working for a 2019 internet giant.

@DForck42 breaking up sites means more closures and migrations?

@DForck42 Actually, that's one of the better blog posts. They've now more or less accepted that it's the system's fault nobody gets what the other side is saying when their post is moderator. What a frigging surprise.

@NogShine that was out of the blue!

@M.A.R. No sarcasm. You sometimes talk like a middle aged person.

@M.A.R. Shakes hands.. December here too

And they're trying to fix that. We're really past the 2018 stage where the company lost most of its trusted users' trust in trustworthy trusty things.

Aug 10 at 9:52, by ankiiiiiii

I always thought you're a grumpy 37 y/o mechanic who first scolds customers for breaking the machine first and then thinks about repairing.

yeah you're close @NogShine ;)

Mechanic, yeah. I don't have the most intellectual mental image of car mechanics.

Unless it's an old Clint Eastwood fixing a shuttle.

Darn, now I want a Star Wars story with Eastwood as an old Han Solo.

mechanic was just to make you a little dirty, and bearded or say poorly groomed.

Thank you, that really helps.

Unless you mean I'm the razzie blowing Einstein.

no mechanic was also to make you a not so great engineer/ scientist

To which I say

user image

4:37 PM

which is not a parameter of someones intellect.

@ankiiiiiii Every body's a Vishwa. Doubling ages. ;)

@ankiiiiiii That seems apt

but okay, I anyway feel this image is fake

@ankiiiiiii Sure it is

seen multiple times, but still

4:38 PM

@ankiiiiiii No, it's real. The story is he was super tired of annoying paparazzi on his tail and while he sat in the car and it was moving, he just stuck out his tongue to everyone.

I thought of pinging jenayah, then saw the grumpy profile picture,

so let's continue

It's good to be skeptical but only with evidence

if this was trump, I would have bought it

I do plan to be scientist, and a visionary.

Those combined make people who contributed the most to humanity.

Not to be conflated with Edison.

everyone's a visionary, and influencer etc.

4:40 PM

He was just a typical CEO.

try something new

What did I missed

@ankiiiiiii But most people lose sight of what they were . . . visionarying . . . when they get somewhere they can make a real change.

@AnkitSharma I'm being philosophical. Boring stuff you wouldn't care about.

Go watch Batman: SHOUT

Are you being grumpy and scolding people?

"WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME"

@AnkitSharma No that's only when you're being philosophical

Mine is more like Michael Keaton staring into the distance.

4:42 PM

O.o

No more Affleck and no Cavill in DCEU :-( I don't know what plans there may be after Aquaman, Shazam! and Wonder Woman 2 — m1gp0z Dec 17 '18 at 19:48

OK hold on a second. This is something I don't get.

Why does everyone want Daredevil in the DCEU?

To hell with Affleck. He can only be a good watch in some heavy definitely-not-superhero drama.

He sucks as a superhero.

Napoleon Wilson

Wrong. Henry Cavill and Ben Affleck were really good casting choices.

moves to appleSE to flag some non answers

@NapoleonWilson together ok, otherwise? Affleck maybe not

@NapoleonWilson I just can't seem to add him to some emblem or symbol. He's fine as is, in his urban coat.

I love The Town, Changing Lanes, and obviously Good Will Hunting

Napoleon Wilson

So is Bruce Waynesie.

Changing Lanes is an excellent film, though.

4:46 PM

Why did you say that name.

Napoleon Wilson

Because he's actually Batman! O_O

@NapoleonWilson Why the though? I said I love it. It's hard to hate Hollywood's biggest ranter and Affleck does a decent job in the movie too.

But that's my point. Add a costume and it's like pineapple on pizza.

Napoleon Wilson

"Though" because it's a totally marginal statement not contibuting to the core of the conversation at all. And also because I think it's quite underrated.

Oh that kind of though.

Napoleon Wilson

I'm starting to get a feel for your point, though.

4:50 PM

all is well though

Thing is, some actors fit into a costume usually perfectly. Even if you don't like them or their acting, extra clothing or makeup enhance them, not take something away.

All Izz Well [Full HD Song] 3 Idiots

Jim Carrey is one such example.

Don't get me wrong—I probably hate 4 out of every 5 Jim Carrey performance

But the costume becomes his ultimate evolution or something. He wears it like skin!

Napoleon Wilson

That's because he already uses his actual skin like a costume. ;-)

@NapoleonWilson IKR, it's like nobody even knows it

Some movies become popular and the actors are said to be the cause, yet there are amazing movies from awesome actors that are supposed to a box office nitro boost, but end up with little attention

1 hour later…

6:15 PM

@M.A.R. yeah, but they lost a lot of people do to their lack of response. i know i stopped going to meta.se cause of it

@DForck42 Yeah, some of the loss is going to be irreversible

@ankiiiiiii yeah, in the short term until people figured out where stuff is supposed to go. i've been saying for a LONG time that SO is too big. we've shown that smaller communities have fewer issues overall

Still not clear on whether they have corrected their course, but at least people are maybe a little bit disillusioned.

Which is not always a good thing

Meta feels like the aftermath of a brutal war right now.

@DForck42 not all know about sites other than SO until specified. accounts are throwaway too which care very less if Q is closed, migrated, answered or downvoted

@M.A.R. dont you everyday remind me of my late coming to SE

HWs are brutal already

Can't help it dude, the discussion comes up

6:19 PM

@ankiiiiiii i think a big part of that is the seo weight of SO. the question base on there is huge compared to everything else so it downs out anything else unless only that site has an answer

@ankiiiiiii HQs?

*HWs?

assignments in my uni

Hiccupy Waiters?

Oh.

waiters here are good

except the new joining, they are over polite and formal

ah it was worth mentioning that I dumped FB and Instagram (never snapchat or tiktok) before landing on SE

and reddit

i would like to get off of FB, but it's difficult when it's the main place that i chat with a lot of my friends

and people use SE as reddit and that makes me chuckle

@DForck42 ah you mean messenger xd (I know they have it all) but yeah

I just reduced chatting(no real purpose) and real life talking (other problems)

@DForck42 your username sounds like a British "The fuk"

no offence if it's real name

how'd you make your avatar ? quite a lot of effort

6:28 PM

@ankiiiiiii lol. it's my first initial and last name

i made it in Microsoft Publisher

about 2-3 years ago now

it's only 3 squares with text boxes for each letter that were then grouped, copied, and then changed the color to create the shadow effect

I was just lazy about writing my full name and thinking about a new username unlike Military Awesome Racoon( @M.A.R. ping) and Ava is just default.

the two smaller squares are yellow and red, which together makes orange, which is my favorite color

@DForck42 never used it, Mac is all I have, But I can do Ps.

i had the default for a while, then i had a terrible hand drawn ms paint one for a while, then this one

it's super easy to make in photoshop, i just didn't have it available at the time

@DForck42 increasing interest in the community, hmm..

I might change mine to a random Autodesk sketchbook doodle

Napoleon Wilson

6:40 PM

@DForck42 That is really just a matter of sheer size, yes. SO just has reached a size where it can't keep up anymore. It's a natural consequence of the popularity.

And whenever China decides to share their private internet with the rest of the world's, SO is simply going to implode over it.

@NapoleonWilson O_o

Napoleon Wilson

under it?

That's called defecating

what O.o

Napoleon Wilson

Over the event and under the masses.

6:46 PM

nevermind they are busy harassing Hong Kongians

Napoleon Wilson

Well, that dude is terrible! Kidnapping poor girls and climbing buildings.

Oh wait, Hong Kong.

Ohh on the other part of the world nobody care for Arizona fire as Spider-man film is a bigger concern then environment as global warming is fake news

Napoleon Wilson

Yet again you're making allusions to Wolfgang Schmitt's analysis of Far From Home and its relation to the problem of fake news. o_O

Maybe I need to throw more unrelated news to make this conversation more relative

Napoleon Wilson

I'm far from home, so I will change that now.

6:55 PM

What about John Wick director taking over the next DC film Bird of prey reshoot

Napoleon Wilson

Meh.

I didn't even know Birds of Prey was reshooting, let alone had been shot, let alone what it does.

It got Margot Robbie

Napoleon Wilson

Sure sure.

And now it will be John Wikiesh

I hope not like justice league level reshoot

Napoleon Wilson

Because it's one of these reshot films where 5 different directors mashed around it, like a John Wiki? ;-)

6:58 PM

More of rogue one reshoot I hope

@NapoleonWilson which film is not reshot these days O.o

Napoleon Wilson

Films where there isn't a board of directors checking a list on their way to desparately turning a 500 million money sink into a blockbuster?

I heard X-men new mutant film is dying as it's weak and Disney has no interest to fund reshoot. Might throw it on Disney+ when nobody notice

@NapoleonWilson Burd of prey is barely supposed to be blockbuster. It's made more cheap to fill DCEU gaps I guess

Napoleon Wilson

Anyway, I ought to be homecoming already.

hmm
