Movie Night tonight (or today), depending on time zone. It’d be great if you could come along and have a look.

Oh it's today, the non standard date confused me

Congratulations to Valorum for reach 300,000 reputation. A great feat

^ nice essay about technology implications of a sci-fi superstrong material.

Just noticed today is World Smile Day. So, you won this. Sorry, @Mithrandir.

@SQB I'm on it

@Derpy I'll be watching it next weekend, good reviews or not.

it's long though

@SQB up. So whose podracer is that?

@Edlothiad Sorry, it used to be the European form. But the current format, 2017/10/06 is actually ISO 8601

@Narusan that would be better with hyphens though. it's still unambiguious with slashes, but hyphens are preferable

Sure, I‘ll edit it

I don't understand. Which one is the Luggage on that image?

Argh! Someone overwrited my edits.

@KSmarts did you remove the image deliberately?

Guys, in a wiki like that, please don't just overwrite previous edits without checking what you undo.

@Randal'Thor Volume 1 of the Malloreon servers toys (for someone reason, Volume 2 was delivered a week earlier although I ordered them simultaneously. I’m having a conflict of interests. Probably will go with Malloreon first because I‘ve just finished the Belgariad and start WoT soon

@Narusan Oh! You're reading big fantasy epics? Nice

@Narusan ISO 8601 is backwards? TIL

@Edlothiad .(emit ni retal eht rebmun eht regral eht ,DDMMYYYY) seludom yna tuohtiw sretupmoc yb yllaciremun detros eb nac ti taht egatnavda eguh eht sah tI

Ooh that's clever

Thanks for that, that was most difficult to read and understand

@Forral Don't know any of those names, but since you say it's good I might give it a try.

@Edlothiad Clearly you don't spend enough time in Puzzling chat ;-)

@Randal'Thor Well I don't spend any time in puzzling chat, good too see SE works while you're away =.=

@Randal'Thor Pushing our Puzzling.SE agenda on other people, are we? :P

@Narusan The language games in PSE chat are really awesome at times.

Just the other day we turned someone's simple typo into a long conversation with all E's replaced by R's.

I surrender. What’s rrrir, rrls and rrr?

Eerie, eels, and ere. (I was deliberately choosing words which would be hard to decode.)

I know neither of them... :(

@Sekhemty the legality of my source is dubious at best and hasn't printed past C for the Nomenclature, I go pick up my books in mid october (next weekend) so will update for hornblower then.

@Randal'Thor Rekt I knew them all!

If anyone would be so kind to do that? Should we chat here or use rabbit or watch2gether?

@Narusan I added the featured tag; will create a chat event once the details are worked out.

I think @Gallifreyan and @doppelgreener have organised some of the recent movie nights; they should know about the shared streaming stuff and how to sort it all out.

Great! I have about 3 hours to figure out a way to share the movie :P. YouTube only shows me the German version, and even if I don’t have a google account and you need a spare mobile phone number in Germany now because of anti-terrorism laws and so on....

@Edlothiad no problems, I had the opportunity to check it myself and there are no indications about inspirations

probably these are just coincidences

fellowshipofthesearch? really?

needs a better name

What is our stand on semi-legal streams of movies on the internet? Probably not really acceptable on a movie night, am I correct?

I mean we've had entirely illegal ones

Semi-legal is basically read as illegal. Any free stream on the internet is illegal, and I'm not sure how legal it is to buy one copy and distribute it via watch2gether.com. But I don't really want us to get into trouble because of that...

If it's a semi-legal service, make sure it doesn't look too illegal. Other than that, I've shared everything I know.

I checked Netflix and YouTube movies, and neither have Galaxy Quest in my country (YouTube movies doesn't even work here).

ok.ru doesn't look that illegal, right? :P

Maybe someone with access to YouTube movies (and the right language) can purchase the movie for us. We could send a little thank-you-card (the cost of shipping far outmatching the price of the movie).

@Gallifreyan Which service worked with YouTube movies again? Watch2gether or the other one?

@Narusan rabb.it

@Narusan Here's one: ok.ru/video/42542107202

It looks ok (no pun intended), especially given Yandex Videos links to it.

Actually, the pun was intended.

I’ve found the same one but didn’t want to post the whole link. Let’s use this one then. I suppose we chat here ans do a lot of cattle herding.

@Gallifreyan Thanks a lot for helping me out all the time!

* cat herding :D

@Narusan Not a problem, sorry I can't do more ;)

can I talk about that Universe 113 question in here or is there another room for that

@Randal'Thor Details are basically that we’ll try to pause every now and then to get people catch up, chat here and start at 11PM GMT with the link Gallifreyan provided. I’ll repost that link a few minutes earlier. Is there anything else I haven’t thought of yet that needs to be clarified before? Oh, and I’ll try to write a Meta recap, but I’m very busy over the weekend so that might take a bit. If anyone else is keen ondoing that, they can go ahead, the more recent the better.

@Gallifreyan Cat herding?! That’s just impossible. How would one herd cats? Let’s hope it is more like cattle herding, so it actually becomes manageable.

It's from the "What's a movie night?" post.

The joke is exactly that it's unmanageable.

@Narusan @Narusan The last couple of movie events I hosted, I rented the movie off youtube for something like £4. I used Rabb.it to browse to Youtube afterwards, signed in, and grabbed the link from the browser where I'd made the purchase and headed to that youtube video.

There's also the option of someone who has fast enough 'net streaming something like Netflix from their Chrome browser. I could do that nowadays since I recently got fiber installed, but I'm dealing with some periodic connection glitches I need to get sorted out, so I'm not sure I wouldn't suddenly drop out for a minute with extremely bad timing.

@doppelgreener I think Galaxy Quest is like 2 pounds. I can’t rent it though, no google account, no spare phone number, wrong country...

So apparently I can trick YouTube into believing I'm in the US, but then it asks for a US debit/credit card, which I don't have. And I can't add my card to my PayPal account (I don't know why), and the one I already added doesn't work because PayPal no longer works in my country.

So much for globalisation 'n stuff.

Your country -> Switzerland? (Guessing from your email)

yeah, it sucks. I could use a VPN as well but would run into the same issues as you

We still have the ok, so we should be ok even if we don’t get rabbit running. Again, thanks for the effort

Not Switzerland, that's a conspirative e-mail address I have :D

.ch can be replaced with .com and the mail would still reach me though.

I see. Well, I’m using PGP for my mails, so the NSA is on my back anyway, don’t need conspirator email addresses. Answer now that you need a valid phone number - which is linked to your ID - there’s nothing like pricacy anymore here....

Sorry, I've got to go now. Good luck with the film night ;)

Thanks, enjoy what ever you’re doing

Probably going to head off now. Good night.

Good night.

Movie Night Starts in 60 minutes, if I’m not all mistaken

20 minutes or so

ok.ru/video/42542107202 <- Link to the movie

@Riker I wonder - should we wait for the others to join in or just start the movie in a minute and let the ones that join later catch up?

I'm not here for the movie >_> I am supposed to be doing homework

I'll watch a bit though :D

oh, pity.

@Narusan probably wait for another couple people

I was hoping for a bit more participants ;)

oh my god we're watching galaxy quest? :D

Yeah. scifi.meta.stackexchange.com/q/11313/80374

It's like 1am here already and the movie's future length. That'll be a short night for me. Time zones suck

then feel free to start now :D

I mean, you're the question OP, and it's already 3 min past the time

more people should trickle in

hello @AwesomeGuy12 How come you're only twelfth? :P

@Riker Let's try to get like 4-5 watching it

@Narusan hm ok

@Narusan not enough rep to chat, new user acct

or until it's 10 past xD

hm ok

I'm playing qwop, ping me when you start

@Riker ah, I see. But they can join? That's weird...

yep

try launching an incognito/private browser tab and going to this url

the login msg where the chatbox would be is replaced with a "you don't have enough rep" message

thanks. I learned something new, I guess. Also I've never encountered QWOP before. That's strange

Alright, i'll start it pretty soon

@Riker

go :D

odd watching a movie introduction without cinemasins "60 seconds of logo"

obligatory shut up wesley

now that was a weird start :)

hey @nitsua60 we're (well, I am) almost at minute 4

let's pause at minute 10

ok

poor guy can't even effort an echo effect

@Narusan have you not seen this before? :D

it's a great movie

nope

:D

Rickman's great in this

yep

yay for therbians

I'm at minute 10

9:53 here

will pause

are you watching with us @nitsua60?

don't think so, they just kinda pop in and out

@Gallifreyan rawr floof, 10/10

@Narusan what's the movie?

@Riker (generally true)

Galaxy Quest

@Narusan eh, probably not. I think I'm helping someone playtest a dungeon in a little bit.

sure

Thanks for noticing/inviting, though!

@Riker let's continue then, shall we?

@nitsua60 what game?

@Narusan :D

resuming from 10:00 in 3

go

@Riker dnd 5e, though the system's not terribly important.

It's the procedural-generation scheme they're testing.

@Riker how come you don't have the 2s penalty?

@Narusan I did, I just hadn't talked enough to trigger it

@nitsua60 oh cool

nice bathrobe

@nitsua60 hm. never tried that. i prefer european systems because their depiction of the middle ages is more gruesome

@Riker what's wrong with the 4 people with the french accent?

french?

huh

sounds more robot-y to me, not french

but you'll see :p

okay, that's how I sound when I talk french :P

lol

yes, now they are robotic

you're german? (based on comments on one of the meta question answers)

yeah

@Narusan Have you taken a look at Tales From the Loop?

nope

poor dog's confused

good doge

@nitsua60 i dunno what that was but cool

lol, hungover cpt kirk

Hmm... my image-fu is on the fritz.

@nitsua60 kinda...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

that's gonna be fun when he figures out what's wrong.

yep

mr ugly face

oh shoooooot

well, I could do the same thing

commanding them to shoot red or black particle canons

but could you do it with flair

no

that's an interesting way of beaming

:p

@Narusan ikr

i really like it though, a bit rough maybe

yep

poor him, he didn't enjoy it for some reason

I can't fathom why

whenever alan rickman talks, I imagine Marvin

lol

no, they've exchanged the strangey-devicey

sshhh

:p

:D

that's like me

something is wrong there

octopus

:P

> shiny metal pointy thing meets head

she's just been kissed by an octopus

yep

do you have a problem? :P

this is 2017 after all

nono, just interested once she realises

"guyyyyyy"

@Narusan don't worry I was joking

:D

god, that accent is annoying

hey @Adamant

@Narusan ikr

if you want to pop by, 27:02

@Narusan what's your avatar of btw?

I like guy :D

@Riker connectome of the human brain acquired through MRI scanning at Cardiff university

O_o

uh

I am not that good at biology

something along the lines of this thehealthpilot.org/brains-wiring-looks-like

I'll pretend I got that

oh cool

nice spaceship

@Narusan my browser crashed, to confirm, we're on the eating scene?

@Riker basically how the nerves in your brain are connected and wired up. Somewhat like the circuit program of a computer

33:15

cool thanks

guy is not at all freaked out by this

and they're like "shit"

ikr

nice head on a stick

good craftsmanship

oh yeah

bustedddd

now they're all arguing

such an idiot

"i think we're the green thingy"

yes.........

:p

just fyi

protip

that is not a cloud

guy hiding under the desk will not save you from explosions

:D

:p

Are we watching "Galaxy Quest" or "Accidental Suicide Squad"?!

there go the engines

lol

has he lost his balls?

pub, that's a good direction

oh, now he has the special arm

oh, that hits them hard

lol

this room is giving laggy notifications >:U

@Riker i prefer that one

O_O

not creepy at all

reentry time
