Q: Were the origins of the List ever explained?

VemonusWhile explaining the plot of Atomic Blonde to a coworker today, I mentioned the List (as it's a central plot point).

@AJ Oh, God. I'm glad that you answered your question ;)

@steelersquirrel meh
the question's not really about the marvel movie, but rather a potential reference to a marvel movie in another movie
for example, if someone asked about the Batman vs Superman poster in I-Legend with Will Smith, I wouldnt' tag it with the BvS tag (especially since the actual movie didn't exist at the time)

You're coming with me

@steelersquirrel it's Japanese
I've been undercover for months, and the moment of truth is now

Q: Why did Farrier set his plane on fire before getting caught?

Pale Blue DotAt the end of the movie Dunkirk after Farrier lands in the enemy's territory he fires on his plane using some kind of gun. It creates a mini blast inside the plane which eventually catches fire. After this he gets caught by the enemies. Why did he burn the plane?

 
@steelersquirrel then watch them and know them!
Spirited Away is IMDB's 40-somethingth, IIRC
 
Yeah. Everyone has been on my case to watch Spirited away ;)
In other awesome news: The diary discovered in 1992 under the floorboards of the home of James Maybrick has now been confirmed as his authentic diary. He confessed to being Jack the Ripper and gave detailed accounts of the murders. Exciting!

What does a "no" response to that even mean?

@steelersquirrel in MO if you get caught 20+ it's an automatic required court appearance
 
@steelersquirrel I left you msg there with reasoning
 
Plus, considering you once compared me to Dizzle, I think I hate more movies than you
 
@M.A.R. only seen half of spirited away, so can't judge
 
@AnkitSharma Okay. I can't get it until I get to work later. I just miss you :))
 
6:31 PM
@steelersquirrel I was not, I lost interest after watching half of it :D
 
@DForck42 Yeah. Same here. I am going to have to throw myself at the mercy of the court to keep my license.
 
@Ankit I was saying that if I would want to watch the recent Jurassic film, it would be because of the man-versus-nature theme. And there are waaay better movies with that theme, one of which is Princess Mononoke
The best, in my opinion
 
@M.A.R. no means your abeyance is wrong
 
Notice that I posted the fact that I got a ticket in here first so that Napoleon can see it in here first so that I don't have to tell him over the phone to let it sink in before he starts freaking out on me over the phone. Maybe he will leave his phone at work again ;)

CC.When the Dothraki attack in the Loot Train Battle, why would they attack frontally? Wouldn't even medieval cavalry attempt to attack the flanks first?

This may make sense if you expect to lose the batte and you want to destroy your enemy's supplies. However, I think she was fairly confident she would win, so why...

 
@MovieReel dupe this soon
 
I want to post another ToW question, but I am close to repcapping for the day :(
I got 2 down votes on my GoT question. Pfft! :(
 
@steelersquirrel lol
 
Hehehe! I'm always thinking ahead ;)
 
great
And I don't have single question yet
 
7:19 PM
I know! Are you going to become a member of McSlackerson family? ;)
 
lol, I don't know the rules for that
but I will ask sooner or later
 
Well, right now the rules are that your name has to be Napoleon. That's about it ;)

Q: Horror movie, boy being questioned entire movie, turns out to be a ghost

Lars Højgaard MellerupI don't remember much of the movie, but here's what I do remember: I remember, police comes to a house where something terrible has happened. They find a teenage boy and a woman question him in some sort of a shed, the entire movie, while the male officer/detective investigates the house where t...

Do I really need to worry about spoilers in the question title for a movie made in 1985? I forget.
 
not really
 
@steelersquirrel lol
there's always gonna be 1 person
but tbh, I see spoilers as a log decay. the most recent releases should avoid spoilers, but the older a release gets the less people care
 
Yeah...I know! I will figure out a way to make the title non spoilery.
 
i personally think the turning point is 1 year. after that either you're not gonna watch it or y've already been spoiled on some aspect by other locations
 
Totally agree.
 
7:42 PM
@DForck42 sound fare
 
a part of me wants to put that up on meta, a part of me doesn't care enough
 
I don't really know what the benefit of picking an arbitrary amount of time to say that it's not a spoiler does. I agree that people shouldn't be complaining about spoilers after a year but there's no way to convince them if they still don't want The Sixth Sense spoiled.
 
8:14 PM
Okay. I have no clue how to make my question title un spoilery. The movie is from 1985, so I guess (or assume) it's probably safe ;)
 
@steelersquirrel which movie?
 
Silver Bullet
 
@steelersquirrel Yes, totally. Time doesn't really have anything to do with it.
 
Sigh. Well, I did the question title as best as I could.

Q: Why did the werewolf kill an "innocent" victim?

steelersquirrelIn Silver Bullet, the werewolf apparently only kills individuals who are leading a sinful life or anyone who threatens him: SPOILER ALERT Reverend Lester Lowe is a werewolf that has been terrorizing the town of Tanker's Mill although it is unknown how he became a werewolf. However, Leste...

Q: Short Film where a couple’s relationship plays out on an Answering Machine

John ManleyI'm looking for a poignant short film, where the story of an entire relationship is told through answering machine messages (with cassette tapes, flashing red lights, “Beep”, etc.) I think it showed on HBO or Showtime back in the late 80’s or early 90’s. It might have been an episode in Showtim...

 
So, which is it? Some people said it's fair after a year and now you're saying it doesn't matter how long. If that's the case, then pretty much every question should have a spoiler alert on them ;)
 
@steelersquirrel No, remember, this is all about question titles and question titles alone.
It also depends on the severity of the spoiler and last but not least, if anyone complains. There are a ton of factors involved, just that time isn't directly one of them.
If you think something is a spoiler for people not having seen the film, age doesn't change that.
@steelersquirrel Well, those people are maybe unaware of our no spoilers in question titles policy. ;-)
@MovieReel So that's what this fuss was all about? How is that even remotely a spoiler to begin with? ;-)
 
@NapoleonWilson yeah, but spoilers is kinda of a subjective thing too though
while i agree we should avoid spoilers in the title, what is a spoiler to someone might nto be a spoiler to me, and vice versa
i guess what I'm really saying is that there are some people that are too picky
and imho the longer something has been out, the less they get to complain about it being spoiled
 
@DForck42 Of course. As said, there's a ton of factors involved, many of them largely subjective. But saying something stops being a spoiler just because it outlived a set amount of time seems...strange.
 
@NapoleonWilson I had edited it after the fact ;-(
 
8:39 PM
@DForck42 Of course, noone denies modern internet spoiler culture has long lost their connection to reality. Some people just like to complain.
@steelersquirrel Oh, okay then. ;-)
 
i guess to clarify, after something's a year old we shouldn't intentionally throw in spoilers in the title, but rather i don't feel that as a community we should be as concerned for those
or rather, concerned with fixing those as quickly as fixing titles for newer releases
 
@DForck42 Well, that sounds a little more reasonable.
 
Napoleon just likes rollin' up in here with his rules and stuff ;)
 
At the end of the day, what also matters is if anyone actually complains in the first place, which does become less likely over time.
It's usually really only the big new MCU/SW/GoT things that garner the good old "GET M&TV OUT OF THE HNQs MARFLBLRGL!!!!!!" meta questions.
@steelersquirrel Yeah, you probably also didn't know that questions intentionally spoiling things get excluded from the topic challenges as punishment.
 
Frigging people asking GoT questions right after they watch the new episode! God! ;)
 
8:46 PM
@NapoleonWilson which i wish they WOULD let people at least set tags they can ignore in it
 
@NapoleonWilson Hahaha! I frigging knew it! ;) Ohhhhh...will you be the one punishing me? ;)
 
i mean if they're pulling from all of the sites for it, it shouldn't be THAT hard
 
Meh. At the end of the day, people just want something to complain about ;)

Q: Which movie adaptation of "Flowers for Algernon" is the closest to the original story?

YasskierAfter reading the wonderful story, I've decided to reach for the movie adaptation. To my surprise, there are at least FOUR adaptations based either on the short story or the book: "Charly" (1968) - won Oscar for best leading actor "Flowers for Algernon" (2000) - straight to DVD movie "Des fleu...

YAY!!! It worked!!! ;)
Okay. Gotta go! See you guys :)
@NapoleonWilson Did you forget your phone again?
 
@steelersquirrel No.
 
@NapoleonWilson did you see that @steelersquirrel was naughty?
 
You don't have to see that. That's a fact of existence.
 
Must... not... say... anything... too... easy.
