Q: Western: Gunfighter who was initially like a clerk but practices and becomes very dangerous -- was this a Bonanza?

I vaguely remember an episode of some western-themed tv series. Some very meek, "nerdy" guy is initially bullied but becomes a very good shot and then is not only dangerous but also abuses his ability. I would be interested in any episode of a series which had this and if you know of a western no...

i do not know how i am able to type when i have aparently died

Ankit Sharma

@Memor-X o.O

@Memor-X I want Lady Thor to be her partner and Thor can have Sif

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma Sif died didn't she?

when Hela returned

like i recall Fancy Pants and "DO NOT MISTAKE MY APPETITE AS APATHY" being killed at the Bifrost and i think Sif was there too

the last of the Warriors Three was with the Asguard army who hela took issue with him not know who she was despite explaining it

@AnkitSharma i would like this yes

like funny timing how Thor 3 Jane's broke up with Thor and we get Valkyrie but that's giving Marvel/Disney too much credit

Ankit Sharma

05:55

@Memor-X no, she was neither there nor mentioned

Memor-X

@AnkitSharma huh, well than sure let Thor have her

.......unless one of Valkyrie's Queen candidates includes her

Ankit Sharma

@Memor-X Sif actress was busy and didn't appear in any films after Thor 2

@Memor-X ^

> Marvel boss Kevin Feige blithely explained Lady Sif's absence during Thor 3: "Sif was probably banished (by Loki). She's off somewhere."

> Joe Russo said one word: "Gone."

Versions of Justice League

The 2017 film Justice League had a troubled production history. Its script and photography underwent major changes before and during production, and there was a change in directors. This resulted in the theatrical release of a version that was reported to be markedly different from how the film had been conceived of during pre-production and principal photography. Most of the changes were driven by the negative reception to the previous installments of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU) Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad. Justice League had been helmed by director Zack Snyder through...

Why I missed it before

I seems more intrested in SNyder cut now

Memor-X

> Common critiques of [Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice] centered around its dark tone, lack of humor and slow pace.

it's a movie about Batman and Superman trying to kill one another which is what every DC Nerd wants to see to get their bragging rights. why would either one be cracking jokes?

2

> had always planned on having the DCEU films become progressively more light and positive in tone, but the reaction to Batman v Superman caused them to rewrite Justice League as even more hopeful in tone than originally planned.

yeh, The Snappening was totally a dance in a flower field

(well for Thanos atleast)

though given no one knew about The Snappening at the time, quite sure battle involving Gauntlet that could destroy the universe was always expected and was going to get dark before the end. just that Marvel/Disney made that last for 2 films

> Not only is Jaimie Alexander hoping that Lady Sif returns to the MCU in Thor: Love and Thunder, but she's specifically interested in the character becoming Valkyrie's Queen of Asgard. Sounds like a match made in the heavens.- cinemablend.com/news/2477304/…

Q: What is this golden belt that is given to Chewbacca?

In The Rise of Skywalker, at the end of the movie, Chewie is given a golden belt of some kind. Is this a piece of gear from a character? Leia's? Han's? What is this item, and why does it mean something to Chewie?

09:26

@Memor-X They weren't looking for a Chaplin movie, they just wanted the same half-badass half-smartass jokes that make most of MCU's memes

A witty play on words that's both enjoyable and contributes to character development

"Finally . . . Someone who speaks English!" "Is that what just happened?"

". . . into his flying monkeys" "Monkeys? I don't understand" "I understand! I understood that reference" Tony eye-roll

Can you say you saw something similar in BvS?

Well, DC wanted, and probably wants, to beat Marvel at Marvel's own game

While it doesn't need to be. I think a few people at DC comics and Warner Bruhs realize that now, but probably not enough.

Ankit Sharma

@M.A.R. see Snyder had a vision, which we didn't even see as WB chnaged BvS, Suicide Squad and JL so much. I still truts Snyder more then what Wendom gave us in JL

2

M.A.R.

Who's Wendom?

Whedon?

Snyder can take his vision and . . . nevermind.

Ankit Sharma

Yeah the guy who made Superman into a monkey

M.A.R.

He talks nice, but I don't see any of his nice talk in his movies

Ankit Sharma

I loved 300 and Watchmen and even I see wasted potential in Sucker Punch

I like his direction

M.A.R.

09:34

When I listen to one of his interviews or hearings or whatever, all I hear are what Nolan portrayed well in his trilogy, but BvS fails at delivering

Sometimes I get the opposite message than what he's saying

Napoleon Wilson

@M.A.R. Probably Whedon as influenced and hyped by fandom. ;-)

Ankit Sharma

@M.A.R. BvS was not fully his vision, WB interfered

Extended version was way better

M.A.R.

@NapoleonWilson Are you implying there is this deep wisdom and profound knowledge to Ankit's typos?

Napoleon Wilson

@M.A.R. I didn't say it's intentional. So maybe it's not his wisdom more than the inherent truths of the universe breaking into our reality.

Ankit Sharma

Ok my point is killed with dumb jokes so time to flip a table and leave

M.A.R.

09:37

Sorry, lunch was on fire

Where were we?

@AnkitSharma All I see is wasted potential, that's my point

A J 9

@M.A.R. In The Screening Room. :P

Napoleon Wilson

@M.A.R. Indeed, they were so absorbed in trying to catch the comic movie train that they forgot what sets them apart from Marvel.

M.A.R.

If it's just a movie or one franchise, I'd say, OK, it's the studio imposing their crap on the whole project

At this point (or that point, I dunno, I've reached this conclusion a while ago and haven't had reason to change my mind) I think he just can't fully demonstrate the potential

@AJ9 well, this awful year has changed a lot of things, but you were not one of them

@AJ9 :( (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

@AnkitSharma I've seen this argument too often before

@AnkitSharma I've also seen this argument too often before, if you're hinting at how mature DC is. snort

Brooding and angsty is not dark and mature. There's a not-so-subtle difference between them.

Comedy Central Roast

Comedy Central Roast is the name of a series of celebrity roast specials that air on the American television channel Comedy Central. The first official Comedy Central Roast premiered on August 10, 2003. On average one to two roasts air every year. There are eight to ten people invited who roast each other before finally roasting the title subject of each show. As of 2019, seventeen roasts have aired. Targets of roasts have included actors and comedians. Since 2010, Comedy Central affiliates outside the United States have occasionally produced their own roasts; twelve such roasts have aired so far...

And news that even the British soaps have closed for the duration too - bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-51943592 I did Enders on Monday & was due to be back there tomorrow.

The studios are all insured, but the crews & artistes aren't, they're all self-employed, so this is going to hurt.

Q: When will we run out of episodes (due to Covid-19)?

I'm assuming that Covid-19 and the ensuing quarantine measures will begin interfering with the production of tv episodes soon, if it hasn't already.

@Catija HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!! Sorry that I didn’t come in yesterday, but this corona virus thing is consuming my work life. Lol

@NapoleonWilson OMFG. I don’t even know what to say right now ;)

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel About what? What happened?

steelersquirrel

I seriously have no life right now. Everything is closed. I go to work and go home. This is very hard for such a social squirrel!! :P

@NapoleonWilson about you being so vague on everything!!

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel Awww, I'm sorry.

@steelersquirrel I'm just rambling bullshit since I didn't know what else to say, since really nothing was up, that's all. ;-)

steelersquirrel

There is literally zero food and paper products at the store. I’m having to eat microwave crap. Argh!

@NapoleonWilson Yes, I know, silly bean!

Napoleon Wilson

Yeah, somehow people thought they'd suddenly need a year's worth of toilet paper.

steelersquirrel

right? I don’t understand the toilet paper thing. There’s zero toilet paper, but tons of paper towels. It’s baffling to me

Boys have it easy. You guys just have to shake. Lol

Napoleon Wilson

I just bought a lump of butter today and apart from dough and paper products there seemed to be enough of everything.

steelersquirrel

15:40

That’s because your country isn’t going bat shit crazy

Napoleon Wilson

I doubt that.

steelersquirrel

Our schools are closed through the end of April and all restaurants are closed, so people are cleaning out the grocery stores.

Napoleon Wilson

We might be a little less susceptible to prepper mentality maybe, but not immune to it either.

@steelersquirrel Well here too, yes.

steelersquirrel

Are you guys limited to gatherings of 10 people or less?

Napoleon Wilson

But still, the shit is going to be in stores next week, too. I have a 100 metre walk to a store from home. So I see zero reason to suddenly buy craploads of things.

@steelersquirrel I don't know the number. It might not be that low. But they forbid any public events with more than 100 people, I think.

I doubt they prohibit private gatherings, though.

steelersquirrel

15:44

@AJ9 Wuuut? Who says that Die Hard isn’t a Christmas movie? Pfft!

@NapoleonWilson Yeah. They haven’t banned private stuff, not that they could, but people are just staying home.

I watched I Am Legend the other day. It freaked me out how everything going on now is exactly how it started in that movie.

Napoleon Wilson

Contagion might be more accurate, though.

steelersquirrel

It’s literally mass hysteria. Lol

Napoleon Wilson

And Outbreak is certainly a better film. ;-)

steelersquirrel

@NapoleonWilson Yeah...but that movie is stupid.

The only difference is that this virus doesn’t have 100%fatality rate and it doesn’t turn you into a vampire;)

most people recover from this virus

Napoleon Wilson

Presumably, yes.

steelersquirrel

15:50

There’s not that many fatalities. There’s more annual fatalities from the regular flu than this virus. I just don’t understand the panic. The same people are susceptible...children, elderly and people with underlying health problems.

The rest of the population have recovered

at least here in Oregon

Napoleon Wilson

I don't know, it spreads easier? It's more global. Who knows.

Either way, I’m soooo glad that I don’t work in a hospital anymore. OMG

New England didn’t renew his contract!!!

He’s going to the Buccaneers!!!

Well...he’s presumably going to the Buccaneers. I will literally swan dive into a wood chipper if he went to Pittsburgh. Like...could you imagine??

Napoleon Wilson

@steelersquirrel Oh, I thought that was already clear.

@steelersquirrel Wut?

Wait. It was just confirmed. He’s a Buccaneer.

Why not just stop? So he's doing a useless last year at some totally random team?

steelersquirrel

Well...he’s stupid. Duh

It makes zero sense why he’s not retiring. I have no clue

Now I have to hate the Buccaneers ;)

Maybe he doesn't like Gisele all that much.

Please ask me any clarifications! Oh, and all the people in the movie live in USA. He has blond hair, she has black. They're both beautiful.

Roughly when would that have been released?

Old/new is kind of dependent on who's talking... :)

Old enough for the greek cable TV to play it as non-highlighted movie (like the new ones)
