Q: The restaurant scene in Au Revoir Les Enfants -- what did the director intend?

releseabeThe scene is a fancy place where the mother of one of the main characters (I am not sure of details, I only saw this clip after reading about it) and maybe his school friend are eating when the French Milice ask to see one old man's papers and upon discovering he is Jewish, tell him very nastily ...

Q: Japanese live-action anthology film featuring boy with saucepan lid over hole in chest

MitchellI'm trying to find a Japanese film I watched on television about 8 or so years ago, which may have been a stand-alone film or a compilation of short films. I don't remember a lot about the details of it but each short film was quite different in style and tone. There was one story about a young m...

Q: Creation of a ww2 tag -- pros and cons?

releseabeI asked a question about a scene in a movie that not only takes place during ww2 in Vichy France but also ww2 and the persecution of Jews are absolutely central to the film which is Au Revoir Les Enfants. I believe that the ww2 tag, which is surprisingly to me new, belongs not just on my question...

My sister found out that one of her student's dad is Henry Thomas (a.k.a. Elliot from E.T.). At parent-teacher conferences, I told her to call him Elliot in E.T.'s voice. Hehehehe!!
Of course, he's also in my brother in law's favorite movie, Legends of the Fall

Q: How many children were in the Noonan household?

steelersquirrelIn the opening scene of the 1980 film, Caddyshack, we see the Noonan household and are introduced to Danny Noonan, one of the main characters in the film. Mrs. Noonan (Danny's mother) is walking through the family home waking up all of her children. There are several children coming out of diff...

How is this question trivia? ^^
If this question is considered trivia, consider it the last question I ever ask here. This is ridiculous
Makes me sad
Now I remember why I stopped participating here :(
 
8:35 PM
@steelersquirrel It has formatting, links and paragraphs. Seems you still know how to ask questions. ;-)
And Slack seems to like it, too. ;-)
@steelersquirrel Dude, the effin' thing has 4 upvotes and no close-votes, maybe let's see how it goes... <eye-rolling emoticon>
@steelersquirrel Ah, that's why. Were you...testing the waters? ;-)
 
@NapoleonWilson It's just frustrating when so many things get labeled "trivia" It's why I stopped asking questions before
Did you call me dude? Did you roll your eyes at me? lol
@NapoleonWilson No, I wanted to do winterfest this year, that's why I was testing the waters
 
@steelersquirrel Amy, I know you're going to flip out and think I'm scolding you. But really, I considered the question you asked 4 years ago the last question you ever asked here. Which is sad, because I love you. But then you ask one and immediately flip out at a comment saying you're never coming back again. I really don't know how to react to this.
 
@NapoleonWilson OMG. I wasn't flipping out, I was ranting in frustration because I hate trolls. Gheez
 
It wasn't a troll, it was a comment.
 
That guy is a troll
I'm just still confused on what is trivia and what isn't on this site
SF&F is really clear, but it's confusing here
 
8:43 PM
What makes you think so? He made a comment that is absolutely fine, you might not agree with it or he might be wrong. But that doesn't make him a troll.
 
I just want it to be fun like it used to be
@NapoleonWilson Sure. Whatever you say
 
@steelersquirrel I want you and us and everything to be fun like it used to be, too.
 
I can see the other comments justifying his troll-ness were deleted. cool
@NapoleonWilson Awesome! Then, what is going on with trivia here?
 
@steelersquirrel The same thing that was always going on. Nothing changed, you're just out of the loop and Slack slams it at you how the trivia close-vote sucks. But yes, we know and we are working on it.
@steelersquirrel You mean the comments that simply called a user a troll like you did? Yes, they were, because that's really not a kind thing to do.
 
@NapoleonWilson OMG, Chris. How do you know what slack does and doesn't do? It has nothing to do with slack. I just don't understand why it has changed, that's all
@NapoleonWilson Oh, come on, now. No, they weren't. You just deleted it because it was Skooba, just admit it.
It's all good
 
8:48 PM
@steelersquirrel Then why is it that a question from you immediately calls the SciFi people into action? Anyway, yes, the trivia close-reason has its problems and we're working on a solution,´.
 
I have clarification now
@NapoleonWilson SF&F people are always looking at posts here
 
@steelersquirrel No, it really wasn't a kind comment. But his wasn't really the worst. The next comment actually called the guy a troll and I thought you meant that.
 
@NapoleonWilson I asked SF&F to review my question because nobody else was around to do so. I asked in here and nobody responded. They would have seen the question anyways, regardless if I asked them to look at it or not
@NapoleonWilson I was just talking about Skooba's comment
He's right...what business is it of that guys if I want to know the answer to that question?
 
But, and sorry to reiterate this or make this kind of a serious or scolding chat (your e-mail adress doesn't work anymore, whatchagonnado), but it's really difficult when you come here every 3 months only to say how everything sucks. That is indeed not "fun" and it puts me in a difficult situation because whatever I say about it is going to offend you. I kind of need to walk on eggshells while ignoring the uncomfortable atmosphere in the room.
I want this to be fun, too. And I know it can be because above all these complaints about the site's inadvertent decline, you still are a funny squirrel.
@steelersquirrel Adding some motivation into the question helps make it better. It shows how it adds to the appreciation of the film and why we all should care about it. That isn't a bad thing, no matter if we have a trivia close-reason or not.
 
@NapoleonWilson Wut? You don't have to walk on eggshells at all and my email address still works! I just get frustrated when I see bad questions most of the time. Valuable contributors like Walt have left and it's frustrating to me. I just come in here to vent about it
 
9:03 PM
@steelersquirrel Well, Walt's departure was probably due to banning ID and you know I'll never say this was a bad thing. ;-) But yes, it's unfortunate it basically stopped his answers. But the times they are a changin'.
 
@NapoleonWilson That's fine, I'm all about change. I just would like to see changes for the better, not for the worse. That's all
You guys come in here all of the time and vent about stuff/users on the site. That's all I am doing when I come in here and say stuff
 
@steelersquirrel That was a change for the better. For the much better. You want to know what questions you'd see on the site except for beloved trivia questions otherwise?
 
and stop saying that I come in here every 3 months! I'm here a lot
 
@steelersquirrel Hmm, okay.
@steelersquirrel Hmm, okay.
 
@NapoleonWilson It just seems to me that since ID questions left, so did quality posts on the site. Just my opinion
 
9:05 PM
You're just so...expressive. ;-)
 
Hahahaha! Duh ;)
 
@steelersquirrel Possibly. But that void isn't going to be filled by even worse ID questions at least.
 
I don't want to get into an ID question argument, I was just commenting about the quality of the posts on the site :)
 
Also, you attracted Richard again. ;-)
You live-streaming into Slack? ;-P
 
Do you not think that slack people don't look at other chat rooms? Gheez.
 
9:08 PM
I don't really know. I thought they just sit there ranting about Hillary all the livelong day.
 
Well, I'm not in slack all the live long day, so I don't know
Pretty sure that Richard doesn't care about Hillary since he's a Brit
I've seen Richard in here lots of times when nobody else is in here. Rand too
You're just not in here a lot to notice
 
@steelersquirrel Don't know who's the top bozo there right now. But I'm sure Brexit went as well as banning ID questions. ;-)
@steelersquirrel That's kind of true, yes. Still hard to imagine, but I give you that.
 
@NapoleonWilson Are you trying to bait Richard so that you can turn around and suspend him? ;)
 
@steelersquirrel I don't really think he can chat really.
But maybe we shouldn't talk about him while he can't say anything.
 
@NapoleonWilson Oh, I don't know
@NapoleonWilson You're the one smack talking slack and SF&F, not me :)
 
9:13 PM
I didn't say anything about SF&F...this time. ;-)
 
Oh, shit. Now Skoobs is in here. LOL
 
<gasp>
 
I'm just looking for a wayward golf ball.
 
Now we'll learn how "trivia" really sucks.
 
@Skooba Hehehehe!!! Did you try Carl's shack?
@NapoleonWilson What are you guys working on for the trivia? I'm just curious
 
9:19 PM
@steelersquirrel You'll see when it's done. ;-)
Probably doing away with it?
 
@NapoleonWilson When will it be done? The last post that I saw was you guys were working on it
 
Yeah, Rand's up my friggin' ass about it, too. This year, I guess?
 
and my [stomp, stomp, stomp] biological clock is ticking!
 
LOLOLOL
@NapoleonWilson Awesome! See! That's all I wanted to know :)
 
9:22 PM
just as long as he is not caught in some time wrap where he is 2023 already, or not referring to "a year from today
 
I want to be like Adam Sandler and scream "JUST DO IT"!!!!
@Skooba Hehehehehe!!!
 
That's Shia LaBeouf, not Adam Sandler.
 
"ewe can dew it"
 
@NapoleonWilson Clearly, you have not seen many Adam Sandler movies. lol
 
i was going more Rob Schneider
 
9:24 PM
@Skooba He does it a lot in Billy Madison, one of my all time favorites!!!
 
@steelersquirrel Unfortunately, I've seen enough. ;-)
 
Pfft! Billy Madison is a classic!
I sing the back to school song every year even though it does not pertain to me
LOL
 
@steelersquirrel Sure, so is haggis.
 
80s rock talking about school seems weird to me in my old age now.
 
I'm older than you are, Skoobs :'(
 
9:27 PM
Like why is some rocker probably in 20s or 30s already talking about school being out for summer
or care about smoking in the boys room
i guess teenages deserve targeted music too?
 
Hahahaha!!!
 
Well, to his defense Alice wasn't like 70 when the song came out.
 
This song
It's like 30 seconds long
My sister and I are idiots and sing it every September. LOL
 
At least she's actually going back to school.
 
Did you see that I posted that one of her students is Henry Thomas's son?
 
9:37 PM
Where? When? Who's Henry Thomas? Where are my teeth?
 
Elliot from E.T.
and Samuel from Legends of the Fall
 
Oh.
Are you still living in the beautiful pacific northwest?
 
Of course!
Well, Portland and Salem aren't beautiful anymore because of riots and homeless people, but the rest of the state is still beautiful
 
Guardian Shield is scaring all the homeless off?
 
TOTALLY!!! LOL!!!
Last I heard, Guardian Shield had 2 sidekicks
I forgot their names, though
 
9:42 PM
Wasn't that like 5 years ago?
 
Yes. That's the last I have heard of him. Maybe he's homeless now. lol
@AnkitSharma Agreed. Unfortunately, the question was closed :'(
I have too much time on my hands today since I'm on vacation. lol
I got up at 5am to go to the pool, I watched one of the ankle biters and traumatized her by watching The Last Unicorn with her and now it's only 1:53pm and I don't have anything left to do for the day. lol
 
Apparently. ;-)
 
I'm getting antsy
I need to go run around the block or something
 
Scamper about the woods?
 
I totally would if I had woods to scamper in! I don't anymore :'(
 
9:55 PM
It's the US, there's about half of Europe full of woods between every single town.
 
I only scamper in Wait park in Canby. I should take a long walk down there and scamper about! lol
 
Is that the park full of squirrels? You'll fit right in!
 
All of the parks here are full of squirrels!!!
 
Woot! \o/
 
It's a squirrel apocalypse up in here!!!
 
9:58 PM
I recently built a LEGO cabin in the woods being raided by a gang of squirrels.
 
Were they cappin' people with their nines? LOL
 
No, but eating some poor trapper's provisions.
 
Hahahaha! Well, that's what squirrels do
I'm outta here. I'm going to go walk to the park!
 
Byesns, go take a walk! ;-P
