I watched "Bright" last night. I liked it. It had its flaws, but it was overall a fun movie to watch.

@FuzzyBoots hooray! I'd still like to see that one myself

Mithrandir

@Narusan Hmm, have you tried the Shannara series'?

Derpy

2:07 PM

@Mithrandir hopefully you mean the books, right?

Mithrandir

2:18 PM

@Derpy Yes.

Derpy

because no actual live action show was adapted from the books. So no one will bring that up, because it does not exist.

@Mithrandir Not yet. I‘ll give Ringwars a shot first (my local bookstore recommended Ryria) and then I‘ll get to Shannara. I‘m not going to try to find any non-existing adaptions into film, @Derpy

Q: Which ID questions do we want from Movies & TV?

Our sister site Movies & TV has decided to ban ID questions. All of their thousands of existing ID questions are now closed and locked, and many of them are slated for deletion over the coming weeks. Some proportion of them are about sci-fi and fantasy films, and much of this content would be con...

discussion featured story-identification migration

^ Oh! I know a few that I think might work... but it might be hard for me to find them.

Hmm no. Some of the ones I was thinking are actually on (new) Lit.

Ankit Sharma

@Gallifreyan he was called David in TV show because creator wanted it that way

b_jonas

Will users who answered story-id on Movies lose a lot of rep for deleted questions (ones that aren't migrated)?

Ankit Sharma

@b_jonas no lose of reputation when deleting old (i.e. 60 days) posts that have a score of more than 2

b_jonas

@AnkitSharma I see.

Ankit Sharma

And good ID with answer are not getting deleted but getting historical lock with CV

b_jonas

5:04 PM

@AnkitSharma What does "CV" mean?

Ankit Sharma

close vote

b_jonas

Isn't the closing superfluous if there's a historical lock anyway?

Ankit Sharma

That's what anime did and that's what is SE process for such cases I guess

Anyway close and historical lock already done, only deletion left

b_jonas

Hmm. I wonder if the historical lock stops people from featuring those questions with a bounty.

Ankit Sharma

why would you feature a closed question ?

historical lock stop from any future action on them

even voting is not possible

b_jonas

5:08 PM

@AnkitSharma I know it stops voting, yes. That's the main feature of the historical lock.

Ankit Sharma

hmmm

b_jonas

Back on perlmonks, we have a magic historical lock on perlmonks.com/?node_id=847 , on account that it is the first question posted after the site opened to the public (before that there are a few test questions by the site devs), but it's not a good question, and would quickly get downvoted these days.

That magical lock doesn't stop voting or replying, and indeed the question has a lot of upvotes because it's historical, but it does stop moderation actions by users who get mod powers from their XP only (as opposed to appointed janitors).

So the question is forever in limbo. It's not approved, and cannot be approved.
